WHEN YOU WALK IN A RIVER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2024
- A closeup look at some of the interesting animals that live on the streambed in a river and how they're affected by the simple act of someone walking in the water. I discuss how fishermen affect the river, and how the river affects them / us. You'll see Blacknose Dace, Tessellated Darters, Crayfish, Dragonfly Larvae, Two-lined salamanders, a leech with babies, and various aquatic insect larvae such Caddisfly Nymphs, and Water Penny Beetles.
Caddisfly larvae are commonly used by trout fishermen to catch trout. Fly fishermen also tie special flies that are designed to look like caddisfly larvae or the flying adult caddisflies. We also look at the aquatic larvae of a fishfly which is very similar to a creature known as a hellgrammite, which is also a food that's commonly eaten by trout and bass.

Your videos are so interesting and educational keep up your amazing work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you I will. 😁
This video is amazing!
Makes me want to explore my lakes and ponds!
Great video.. like usual 🤷🏼♂️
Thank you soooo much.😁
Amazing work! I've been purposefully looking for underwater videos of freshwater water bodies for months and this is the best I have ever seen! I was mesmerized from the first to the last shot! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I have several other underwater videos that you will definitely love. 😁
@purpleworm4725•If you have not found
Australian Biotopes , I think it is well worth checking out 🥽🔦
Wonderful video! Thank you!
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching so many of my videos. 😁
The Dave, my favorite hidden gem of freshwater aquaria RUclips
Looking forward to more videos
Thanks! I guess it's nice to be a hidden gem. Still, I would really prefer to be a little more obvious to the fishkeeping public. Not everyone is a savvy as you. Tell all of your friends! lol 😁
The blacknose dace look amazingly like Siamese algae eaters!
Yeah, I thought so too!
Quick correction: at 13:05, I think you meant to say "except Antarctica"
As always, your videos are a treasure to watch. Looking forward to more darter footage!
We all heard it, but only you had to make a neon scene over it; oonlyyyy youuuu saw fit to toss a critical comment below the video...
We'll be watching you, buster.👀
Ha ha 😁 I don't take offense to corrections or critiques. If I did, I would've quit making these video a long time ago. . .
@@TheDave333
No, no, no... Not for this one, The Dave; this one needs some special minding.👀
In that case, I'm glad you're on my side. :-)
@@TheDave333
Oh, believe it, The Dave! The above Crafty Critter is as "problematic" as an Oscar in with the Endlers.
This video embodies so much of my fascination and appreciation for water. I'm so often reminded that not long ago, I used to swim in the lakes, ocean, and rivers to harvest things and spear fish. It's largely unthinkable to me now, just as the notion of freely wandering around the river is. To disturb the life so dramatically and be willfully ignorant or disrespectful to the ecosystem carries a sort of gravity and significance to it now, whereas before it was almost like my playground.
Like you, I record the animals and watch them now. I didn't realize it before but I was missing so much despite having the sense that I must be more connected to the wilderness of the water more than most people. In reality, I was more connected to getting what I wanted from it, and I was very narrowly focused on what the ecosystems were actually like. Learning more has been a greater joy than spearfishing ever was. Plus, now I'm never disappointed. You can't get skunked if you didn't plan on shooting fish in the first place, but you're guaranteed to see beautiful things no matter what.
Thank you very much for watching the video and for taking the time to leave such a thought provoking comment. I can see that we are kindred spirits my friend. I've had very much the same experiences.
This is great!
Thanks Chi !
@@TheDave333 And when you taught me about the virile crawfish, the northern two-lined salamander, the fishfly, and the water-penny beetle, you kept me on my toes! 😄🦭
Yay ! ❤
wow
thanks - simple and right to the point I love it. 😁
This is a beautiful video Dave. I love all the little life forms that live so close together beneath the surface. Your skilled camera work brings it all to the viewer in exquisite detail. It reminds me of how I would crouch in a creek or lakeshore for hours as a child, just watching the constant movement and tiny struggles going on in a different world than mine. Thank you so much.💖🖤🇨🇦
Well said! Thanks for joining me on another journey. 🦈🐟🦐🦠
@@TheDave333 It’s my pleasure, I would hate to think I missed a journey with you. You have never disappointed, since the first time I discovered your channel, and I can’t imagine you ever doing so. You’ve got the Magic.✨🖤🇨🇦
I love this video so so much, you really know what youre doing!
Thank you so much!
Walking in a river does no more damage than a bear or a deer or an otter Or Beaver or any other creature to run to the water In the river. in fact humans do less damage in a river by walking in it than doing anything else in the river. every time something is large dislodged from the bottom of a river that is food something else gets a chance to eat which would not have. so it really doesn't in the long run harm anything.
Oops. I unintentionally overlapped some of your commentary. Sorry.
#NoCopy 😉
People walking in the river was never a real concern. I just showed what happens when you do.
There's no good end to fretting over walking on river bottoms.
Mooses don't mind it at all and they'll so do sans compunction.
Ditto, Bears, Deer, Raccoons, Minks, Herons, Plovers, Mergansers... ...
I reckon such riparian and riverine creatures evolved and adapted to live in this specialty niche, which defining peculiarity would be its inherent instability and gross, macroconditional variability.
Theirs is a world of violent, temporary temporality, seasonality, abrupt and severe upheaval; such as we land lubbers could never survive.
Our equivalent would be to set up housekeeping and raise hordes of children, in a perpetual typhoon; all the while, surrounded by colossal prehistoric monster predators.
It's nuts, down there.🤪
That sums it up nicely. All of that adversity creates resilience and strength. . .
@@TheDave333
Yep, it's just nuts down there.
This was awesome! I will definitely watch more of these
Awesome! Thank you!
Great Video. Thanks!
You're welcome!
what an amazing video!😍
Thank you!!
wow once again great video
i never knew there was so much life in a river!
There's still a lot more to see! I was just scraping the surface, or in this case the bottom.
Ah Dave what a lovely video and thank you for advocating for the respect of nature. Also also... very relaxing...beautiful... until something wriggles between your toes and something bites your ankles and something sucks your blood. So relaxing.
I've spent many hours along the river. Nothing unpleasant yet. . .
These river fish seem interesting, maybe I should consider doing a North American native aquarium with many species
There are many beautiful North American species. Consider Rainbow Shiners or Tessellated Darters, both are great fish.
Best wishes on finding that gold flecked caddis fly larva - be sure to film that! Really enjoy your videos and looking forward to tesselated darter video and crayfish video. Seeing the different larvae was interesting - I've never noticed the penny beetle larvae - I'll have to look for it:) Great message about how much we affect life in the water when we do something as simple as take a step through it. I can tell you as a fisher, I've often used live bait and absolutely only release unused live bait it if it came from the waterway originally. However, I can also say that live bait not from the waterway has surely escaped from my hook as I've fished which has me rethink if there is ever a good enough reason to use bait that could survive in water that it is not native to since the one that gets away could become quite a problem. Glad you brought up this topic:)
Hello again! Pick up any rock near a clean stream and look underneath it. It's amazing how many things you'll find. As a lifelong fisher myself, the only live baits that I ever use are worms or small fish caught in the same body of water. Some of the most devoted environmentalists that I know hunt or fish.
What a wonderful and creepy crawly adventure!! Thank you so much!
My pleasure . . . It's a labor of love.
Great video
Thanks!
I no longer fish for enjoyment and can proudly say i am no longer a threat to animals!Really liked this video. Thank you The Dave!
Hi Mike. . . Thanks for watching another video. ❤
Excellent video 🤓👍
Thanks Paul 👍
@@TheDave333 wouldn’t miss you videos Dave. Different class 🤓✌️
Hey, Dave, guess what. I was deep-sea fishing in florida yesterday and I caught two yellowtail snappers! Unfortunately, the first one's body was chomped off by a shark!
That's awesome!!! That sounds like a fun trip. That's a long way from home for you. 🐠🦈🐟
Please make a video on fresh water isopods the ones that look like pill bugs
I don't have any at the moment, but that's a a great suggestion. Thank you.
Amazing video, enjoyed this during english class. Makes me want to make a new aquarium and steal fish from the rivers for it, 10/10.
Thanks for watching the video.
Amazing footage! I was wondering what was crawling next to the salamander at 7:50
EDIT: nvm it is the larva of a caddisfly. should have waited with posting
Thanks for watching the video. More stuff from the wild coming soon!
It makes me sick when I see people driving off-road vehicles right down the middle of a river. It is so disruptive to the river ecosystem.
I agree. It really is very damaging in lots of different ways.
Awesome, everybody can watch rich underwater life thanks to your videos. Fish, salamander, crayfish, small arthropods and dragonfly larva with advanced alien technology build in - anus propeller 🚀
Looking forward for crayfish video.
Thanks for watching another video! Lots more action from the wild coming soon.
"Look around fishes🐠🐟, Gulliver has entered our world!"
Mess continues, however one blacknose pair clearly don't care about giant presence at all - spawning is so important 🐟
Those blacknose dace spawning are very hard to capture on film because they don't sit still for very long! I can't wait till the weather warms up so I can get back out there!
@@TheDave333 it's always captivating to see. Best of all will occur when you will meet Amanda the Bass once again in her lake...
Blacknoses are super fast, indeed.
What leech species is sleeping under the stone? There are clean waters in Massachusetts, leeches are sensitive to pollution. I see plenty of flora and fauna in translucent water what surpise me because in moderate climate waters are more opaque. However close to power plant temperature can be high. In Germany is river near power plant known as Guppy Creek. Due to heat from power plant water there is like Amazonian river , full of guppies and other tropical fish.
I never tried to figure out which species of leech it was. I would like to visit guppy creek. . .
@@TheDave333l place my post again, previous one didn't pass to RUclips.
Guppy creek is Gillbach stream, tributary to Erft river.
Google it!
You can find more videos on RUclips, type Guppy Bach Deutschland or Guppy creek Germany. In next post l place link to video in English
Hello my friend. Your comment didn't appear because I have a filter on my comments section that stops people from posting links. I was still able to see and use the link that you provided. Thank you so much for the information.
@@TheDave333 thanks for info about comments filter , here's the issue 🫡
Nature's underwater biodiversity is amazing.
It really is . . Aquatic creatures got a huge head start over the terrestrial critters. Like many many millions of years, plus there's a lot more water than land. So, isn't it a bit strange that we call this planet Earth, when it's mostly water !!!!🦈🐟🦐🦠
one step closer to a freshwater mussel video?
Yes, I'm getting there slowly but surely. . .
