As much as I love your on a boat be it Rutland or other waters for trout. Your love for the lady of the stream shows the pure magic of fishing for them. On a river I would rather catch and release several even small grayling than a single large brown. Even at competition levels there is the friendly banter from years ago. Never underestimate the power of water especially during the colder months. In a second a slip can take your feet from under you. The cold shock can quickly get you into trouble. Good news that both guys except for pride not hurt or worse. When the guy on camera slipped close to the bank so lucky not to damage the rod.
If you don't know the water don't take any chances that guy was lucky if that was a bigger water he would have been a gonner very lucky lesson learned a friend of mines dad did the same thing he was found two weeks later never get out your depth
Need to be careful wading in a river that powerful. Talk about being out of your depth! As soon as I saw him in the middle of the river I knew he was going dooking for apples, or grayling!😅
Been swimming myself while wading in the Muskegon River in Michigan… same sort of words came out of my mouth !!😂 great video thanks for sharing the inaugural event ….
@@lindsayiflyfish … ohhh you doing a bit of early season Steelhead fishing then !?!? Wait till you hook into one of those beasts in a fast current …. They’ll test you and your tackle … the tail water section below Croton Dam is a blue ribbon Steelhead and Salmon river and it holds some big browns as well … I’ve lots of great fishy memories with some buddies and I on that river 😄…. I’ve moved to Colorado now and just getting into fly fishing around here (both river and still waters) … there’s a couple of small lakes a few hours from me stocked with some chunky grayling and come the summer when they’ve defrosted I’ll be taking a trip up there … anyhoo again thanks for sharing a very entertaining video ATB Dave Mc
