River Monsters and Fly Fishing

[Jimbo87]

That's right! You read that correctly! I was watching Jeremy Wade, world biologist and EXTREME angler...haha, always get a kick out of that.

Anyway - I forget which episode it was but he did use a fly rod to catch his target fish, which I thought was a nice nod in the fly fishers direction. Especially after reading the below post about the OutDoor channel or whatever it's called, which I also agree with by the way.

Anywho - thought I'd share that and wish everyone a great weekend!

I believe that was the one where he was chasing Taimen in Mongolia.

He has done it a few times now. Even this past week he was using a fly rod and I think he was going for a catfish actually. Crazy stuff. Ended up catching some monsters...just not the one he was going for this week 😛

Anyone see the one where the bear actually ended up taking away the salmon he caught?

If I remember right, when he was fishing for salmon in Alaska he said it was his first time with a fly rod.

Yep, I saw the salmon episode, he looked like a newbie with a fly rod, I kept thinking why was he hooking a fish right in front of a bear, and did the bear end up swallowing the hook?

I prefer bearbless hooks myself.

Oh man that was bad.

Even the GF likes that show. She likes hillbilly hand fishing.
