The Noise of a Chalk Stream
Nothing massive here. Just a minute of the noise that a river makes as it flows. Ironically, you can hear the roar of traffic from a nearby road at some points during the recording.

Fordy's Flies - Big Fish Little Fish
Просмотров 420Год назад
Here’s a little fish - that’s designed to catch big fish! It’s a brilliantly effective saltwater pattern that’s perfect for when bass are on the munch, hunting baitfish in either really shallow water, or in deeper areas with a bit of flow. Fish in on a floating line, stripping back your retrieve, with the odd tantalising pause, to imitate the movement of a tiny creature escaping the jaws of a m...

And i hope that doesn't happen here them Tuna are worth a lot of money you can get 15.000-25.000 grand per fish and even up to a cool 1 million where's there's money to be made come greed..Awesome video

      @@FordyGoesFishing An opinion would be a personal subjective preference, as opposed to a fact. If I had said the Mirage is the best dry fly, that would be an opinion, but I did not, I said it is a simpler tie. ie fewer materials and or fewer steps (count them). Did you actually look at the Mirage or how it is tied? It is a single CDC feather tied in at just one location on a bare hook. Sure, there a 2 different wraps & a whip finish in that location, to form a body & a wing from the one feather & finish with a head. It's just that I get peeved by the loss of objectivity in the attempt to promote inclusiveness. Not that there is anything wrong with either as long as they are applied appropriately. I'm happy for you to show us a simpler dry fly though, just produce the evidence. Some will consider my response over the top & that's a fine opinion, it just that I believe that it's important to object occasionally for the sake of objectivity.
