Hi. I crawled up to the river bank, with my D3s, instead of the flyrod, and filmed some HUGE wild brown trouts in this clip.
They are just incredible. Hard to find for sure.

Hi Andre,

Terrific footage of trout taking flies off the water.

Many thanks, I’ve watched it many times over the past weeks.

It’s really interesting and very informative to see how leisurely the trout take the fly from the surface film.
There is no smash and grab.

They seem to be able to see and recognise the disturbance or possibly the pattern that the flies are making in the surface film as they drift towards them.

It’s almost as if they know the fly is struggling in the surface film and they do not have to grab and smash at it.

There’s a lot to be learned from your video.

Again many thanks for a very informative and enjoyable video.

Tight lines and best wishes.

Gavin
