Goosebumps

I so need to try fly fishing for Tarpoon at least once in my life, this gave me serious goosebumps watching.

The flight to crystal river

Another little video cut together from the flight out to the river we fished about a month ago. It was a fantastic scenery and it is a little sad that I didn’t film more of the flight than I did. There are a few nice shots there but it is far from doing any justice to the amazing mountain country we flew over.

At that point we were as excited as kids at christmas morning. Four buddies who hadn’t been on a real fishing trip for more than three years, sitting ourselves in a helicopter about to fly out to a potentially great river. If the fishing wasn’t enough to look forward to, the helicopter flight kinda makes it double the excitement. If you have ever been flown out to a river with a helicopter you know exactly what I am talking about. I mean, c’mon we’re guys, we love anything with an engine and if it also flies it is just fantastic!

So here it is, the flight to crystal river, going on our way, the way of the /:Fly:/

The crystal river

For the first time I had a digital video camera with me on this summers fishing trip to the river that I have named Crystal river from its crystal clear waters and its beauty. I didn’t film that much but it turned out to be 20-30 minutes or so. It’s not a very good cam, I am probably gonna get myself a GoPro Hero for next year but it had to do for this time.

I am gonna try and cut a short little film from all the material sometimes this fall, will be a good project when the darkness and cold begins to creep up on us here. But for now I just wanted to publish this very short panning of the river itself, this was just where we had our camp some ten meters behind where I was standing filming this.

Upstream you see some of the mountain tops where the snow were still laying, and on the opposite side of the river you see the top where we went up to the lake looking for char on day four and at the end you see where the rapids run out into “home pool”. This stretch is quite representative for how the general profile of the river was. Rapids, and pools, and untouched fantastic nature scenery. I want to go back there.
