Hallo dietrich auch mit altem Gerät macht das fischen spass super rute und Rolle von hardy einfach klasse und schöne Fische weiter alles gute und viel petri heil grüsse aus fürth
Vielen Dank, Gerhard. Das alte Angelgeraet ist wirklich Klasse und wenn du dich erstmal an die langsamere Aktion gewoehnt hast, funktioniert es wirklich gut, ist eben nur viel schwerer, aber man hat mir erzaehlt, dass du ganz neue Muskeln entwickelst, wenn du damit fischst. Kanns kaum erwarten wie Tarzan auszusehen, muskelmaessig. Machs gut and viele Gruesse ins schoen Frankenland..
Good evening Sir. You have a Lovely Rod & Reel Set-up. I wish you " Tight Lines too You " You do the Art of Angling a service that Younger People should watch & Learn! P.s. The Soldier Palmer Fly is A Wonderful Fly! Well done to you. Many thanks and Kind regards Colyn.
Thank you, Colyn. That is very kind of you. The Soldier Palmer is surely a good fly, it is easy to tie, doesn't require a lot of exotic ingredients and catches fish. Glad you like our little movies, all the best, tight lines and take care.
Servus Dietrich! Ein Super Besteck hast da ausgegraben! Und Schöne Fische gefangen! Mir hängt der Derg nach! War wieder viel zu schnell vorbei! Grüße Werner 😊
Die Woche geht immer viel zu schnell vorbei, Werner. So ist unser Leben: alle Wochen gehen viel zu schnell vorbei, wenn du Spass hast. Viele Gruesse nach Vach und alles Gute.
You have a very mighty personality alright, Dave. So, you surely have an influence on me. My first ever fly rod was a spilt cane though, bought it new for 20 German marks, in 1974, included was a DAM reel and a parallel line, floater, class 5 or 6. Probably still have it on the attic, must have a look one of these days.
I have four bamboo rods given to me by my Dad in the early 60s. Love them! You'll develop a new set of muscles fishing that salmon rod, it looks good on you! Many cane users name their rods, it's a fun tradition. I was glad you baptized it with your Soldier Palmer...brings back many enjoyable hours watching your awesome videos.
Thank you, Doug. Can't wait for the new muscels to develop and a name for the new rod will came with time. Glad you enjoy our little movies, all the best and take care, and tight lines, of course.
@@yvonnebowe4970 Ah, the Soldier Palmer, what a great fly. Many thanks for your nice comment, Yvonne. Am really glad that you like our little movies. All the best, Dietrich.
David will be jealous of that rod, surely. I like manually crafted quality items. And most of those are old! I have a spinning rod which I bought when I was 12. I an 56 now. I still have it and it was one of the first hight carbon rods. Used only a few times. Never thought of it as an antigue, but one day perhaps... But this split cane rod is on another level.
Dave is not jealous, I'm sure. He is just happy for me to have it. And I am happy too with it. The rod is so beautifully made you just like looking at it. Thank you for watching and tight lines.
The Gweebarra river was never free fishing, and the low drought conditions on the rivers seem no anglers hence the ferns growing big, when the prawners were down slaughtering the salmon on that river the banks were tramped black. Nice rod a classic 🎣
Lovely looking rod and what a nice start landing a brown trout,well stepping back in time is lovely memories and some one say best ones when fishing was free to all
That's right, Wilson. Can remember well when we first came to fish here and thought we were in paradise. There were signs up with FISHING written on them, and you just did that.
Not a write off at all, as you got two nice fish and one was a sea trout. Great to break the rod in on the first outing too Dietrich. Where did you manage to pick that combo up? They are both in excellent nick and deserve to be used and not stuck up on a wall somewhere. You're very lucky indeed.
Thank you, Gary. A friend of mine inherited it and gave it to me since he is no fly fisher. How lucky can you get? Never been used by the look of it. It fishes well and will be used from now on in, will definitely take it to the smaller rivers. All the best, thank you for watching and tight lines.
We all have to be careful traipsing thru the high foliage as we go along in unfamiliar territory! Once, at dusk, I fell in a large unseen hole and landed about five feet deep, ripped my pants at the knee receiving a good gash at the same time. It knocked the wind out of me and took about 20 minutes to get myself out of the situation. I recovered in a couple of days but it could have been much worse! Please be careful when out and about! Tight lines!
A beautiful outfit that will make catching a salmon a real occasion. I still use a Sharpes 14 foot spliced on certain rivers and so long as you slow down your casting action it is a delight to use. I once read of an Irish angler describing his double -handed cane rod as being " a grand slow worker .. . . Sure, wouldn't ye have time to light yer pipe between the liftin' off and the layin' on!"
It surely is a great piece of kit, Simon and I'm happy to have it. You are right the casting is much slower, but after a little while the new rhythm is accepted and the thing casts great. Thank you for watching and tight lines with the old and the new tackle.
I remember your film 'Modernising Dave'; perhaps a secondary title for this one could be 'Antiquating Dietrich'. Great fishing and thanks for the video.
To a certain extend that is right, my reels and some of my older fly rods though are pretty old to, mostly from the mid to late 70s, like this one, which is from 1978. Thank you for watching and all the best.
Magic at work…. Dear Dietrich, you speak about two licences for fishing salmon, would you be so kind as to explain us which licences ? Thank you very much
@@DietrichBohnhorst thank you very Dietrich. All the best for the last little stretch of the season. Hope to see your videos soon….. Thank you again Sir !
With this thing in my hands I'm surely moving up in the world, Simon. A friend of mine inherited it and gave it to me since he is no fly fisher. How lucky can you get? Greetings and cheers.
It is definitely much heavier than a carbon rod, on the other hand it is not that bad and I think the rod will get more use than originally thought. Thank you, sir and all the best.
Hello Dietrich,, what a beautiful rod, i had a bamboo rod many decades ago but nothing like yours mate.Nice fishing trip and hooked up a few beauties too.Thanks, thumbs up and greetings from down Under,, Tony.
Thank you, Tony. Once you get used to casting these split cane rods they are actually a joy to fish. Thank you for watching and all the best and greetings from Donegal, Dietrich.
The quote is from “The go between” a great book and film, the quote is slightly different though, it is :- “The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there” how true. It’s the opening line, if I recollect the book correctly. All the best David Gray
Thank you, David for the classification. Definitely haven't read the book, so must have picked it up somewhere and thought it fitting for the little movie. Take care and greetings, Dietrich.
Love your Videos Dietrich, would love to cast a line with you, but I am in Scotland. Dave's Hardy influence is rubbing off on you, and why not! Best Regards and Many Thanks
Thank you, John. Hardy was always very high on my agenda, have a few reels, all bought long ago and all still in use, but could never really afford a rod. Apart from fibatube blanks, the nearest I ever got to having a Hardy rod. All the best and greetings to Scotland.
It surely is great tackle, have a few Hardy reels and think they are absolute class, this however is my first rod and then a split cane, can it get any better? Looking forward to my next outing with it. Thank you for watching and all the best.
Some fifty years ago,Orvis company offered by way of nostalgia a beautiful rod made of greenheart wood,a material which split bamboo supplanted.I can’t remember the length,weight or other specifications,but it was exquisite in the extreme.Foolishly,I balked at the price and didn’t buy it,one of my biggest regrets.
Thank you. Didn't know that Orvis made greenheart rods, it was always Hardy tackle we tried to afford when I was a young feller. Never manged to get a rod in those days but bought a few Marquis reels in 1978 and still fish them. There you are. All the best and tight lines, Dietrich.
@@DietrichBohnhorst I too ached for Hardy tackle, but I lived some twenty minutes from a quite famous Orvis shop in our part of the US and it was their products that filled my longings.Thank you for the reply and wishing you good health and tight lines also.
@@DietrichBohnhorst you are doing well though, those rods are not easy but it is wonderful. My friend Neil Freeman runs “Angling Auctions” look on line, you would love it . Beautiful tackle and craftsmanship.
Thank you, Robert. The older fellers just have to wait a few weeks for the younger anglers to plough a path through the jungle. Met two anglers who paid 40Eu/day and were not happy at all about the situation.
