    Cool video.
    I tied up some mice to try and fool a Brownie in the river this year...

    my wife got me that dvd for my birthday this summer its a good flick. i personaly prefer Rise, and Drift better from confleuance films. but that bow they catch at the end of once in a blue moon is a beautiful fish.

    nice flick kjh; where is the water they were fishing? i couldn't hear them so well... definitely some video footage to make your mouth water. 2 late marches ago my brother and i were targeting a group of dropbacks in which we took turns with one rod swinging wets and streamers on a downstream swing at these fish. we decided to throw a rabbit fur mouse pattern on with a srtipped rabbit strip for a tail that squiggled perfectly in the water. sure enough, one of those fish (the smallest of the 4) actually broke water at the tail end of the drift at that mouse pattern but with no contact. 2 hrs later with about 10 other flies thrown, no success. but the approach and braking of water was enough to make the few hours a success in my book...

    The Felt Sole Media videos are very good. I have most of them except Eastern Rises. It looks pretty good. I'll be buying it for sure.

    The Confluence Films vids are good, but after buying both of them, I can't watch them without feeling as if I'm watching a very long ad for Yellow Dog Fly Fishing.

    pink fly rod? hmmmmmmmmmm. girlfriend on the camera, that we never saw hmmmmmmmmm. lol

    joe, they got griz out there? don't like no griz. how bouts moose. i could shoot a moose and start eating on it before it was dead. actually, if i could get moose meat, i would never eat beef again. buddy of mine shot one up in newfoundland years ago and gave us about 30 pounds of meat. absolutely delicious.

    bryan is a nice guy, he didn't have a pink rod when we fished together.  he let me try his Scott G2 4w, nice rod.  i caught a couple 20"+ browns with it.

    they have moose in idaho.  i did not see any this that trip but did the time before while out for elk.  they do have gris and wolf, did not see either.

    actually, the only thing i don't like about that state, from what i have read and seen on the tube, is that 'hideous blue football field'.

    even heard the duck hunting can be pretty good.

    video was impressive...

    was suprised w. the rod flex on his first land with the mouse and that bow on the river.  It would take me a stiff rod to throw a loop that tight with that heavy of a fly.
