Soooo Dope! Thanks for sharing your story, LPJ. I’ve found some fly anglers to be the most cool and generous people in the world- I’ve also had rocks thrown at me, been threatened from the bank, and have heard my share of N-bombs while getting suited up in the lot. Like you, I was never gonna let some asshat keep me from doing what I love. I’m sure some of the people who view this will run right past the fact that this is YOUR story. If you’re upset or offended but the way this cat navigates his life and society that’s most definitely a YOU problem.
Simms should focus more on quality in their production because you’ve been slipping. It’s also a joke to market a product as “Made in the USA” when the rest comes from China. Soon it will be over anyway-welcome Donald Trump and +25% tariffs on Chinese goods.
so feaking awesome!!!!!! im planning on going steelhead fishing i wanna do it but im saving up money for the trip and a spey rod setup this is great stuff. almost went to spokane washington for work but ended up in wyoming for a year lol ugh love the north platte river though dont get me wrong but i always wanted to do the steelhead fishing
Im from Small town E. Helena Mt. Had always had a passion for fishing growing up low income bullied no pops. Fly fishing was all I've had to keep me going after 12. I'm blessed to have the Missouri river in my back yard. But only can dream of a fish the size on Lael Paul's wall. Someday I want to fish with this group of guys. Looks like they had an amazing time on the river. I'd love to take my man Rich Harrell out there in our lifetime. #blessed. Fly fishing is what the world needs man. @@SimmsFishingProducts
Absolutely like everyone’s saying and that’s true. Simms has gone to garbage like the equipment is totally not like it used to be so I’m gonna stop buying it.
It's not! I grew up here in the NW and live here. No reason to be scared fishing here if you're a person of color. My best friend since 4th grade is black and we fish a ton of NW anadromous fisheries. I'm 56 now. I don't know, maybe I didn't get the jist, but not what I was expecting from Simms. Just like the media, blowing shit up more than it is.
How is this your takeaway from the film? People like you hear buzz words and then hyper fixate on them. Nobody in this video once said that fly fishing is racist. Unfortunately, the message behind films like this get ignored by people like you and received in an entirely different light.
Don’t be that guy…. Have you ever actually been to Forks, Wa? This was filmed on my home waters. There’s unfortunately plenty of racism in these small logging communities.
@@stirr1737 the original comment above mine wasn’t about Forks, WA. I haven’t ever been and im sure there are great people fishing your local waters. My local water in Nor Cal, have so interesting folks around them. This conversation was never related to your waters, but fly fishing in general.
I live in the PNW. I'm a (half) black fly fisherman. I've had a concealed weapon permit for 15 yrs and carry a gun often. The only time I've ever pulled my gun on a person was when I was fly fishing with my son. We encountered some racist (white skinheads) wackos campers that started yelling the N word at us and telling us to go back to where we came from. Both of them approached us (one had a metal bar) and needles to say they met the business end of my 9mm. They made the right choice and ran away. Odd? 🤔 You missed the point of this video, though...99% of fly shops, fly fishing companies, products and fly fishing media portrays fly fishing as an exclusively white sport. Yet, I find myself fly fishing alongside all races and ethnicities (including women). I think this video is attempting to break that stereotype, and I love it!
Flying fishing kept me off the streets.. this sport keeps you connected to nature 100%..
there’s always something new to learn. 👍🏾👊🏾🎣
🦾🗿
So amazing. Tyler, Lael and Westley are the real deal to say the least… 🔥
Thank you Simms for sharing this beautiful film…in all ways
Weeeeeee
Good for you, Simms. I'm an avid Simms consumer and it's good to see you showcase anglers that look like me. Bravo!
☝️ what he said!
Truly inspiring video. It’s ridiculous that people have to worry about their skin colour anymore. We should just be past this by now. Truly inspiring!
Color*
They don’t nor did they ever have to….figuratively and literally. They’re novus anyhow, so how would they know! This is just ESG requirements.
"Bro, this is the bonus!!! It was already amazing out here!!!". My man, well said brother, well said
Love it. From England. A brown fly fisher too. Keep flying yeh flag simms. Ignore the haters. 🎉🎉🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🇬🇧🇬🇧
We fished the platte river everyday from sun up to sundown, everyday we were the first to the river. The miles we put on those bikes Westley!
I love this game! Amazing film, legendary, inspiring anglers and an unfiltered expression of love for the sport. Thank you for this
Tyler, you're incredible. What an absolutely gorgeous film and so beautifully shot. Congratulations, this is sensational.

This is great! Fished with Wes just two days ago. Great time and great guide! I’m sure he will do great out west!
Absolutely a gem 💎 of a video!! Spey fishing has 💯 changed my life to casting to tying flies I feel free when I’m out on the flow swinging flies!!!
That has to be the biggest net I've seen !!! Good film 👌
True Jedi Master moves right there. I see you, Lael. Amazing short film.

Ох уж эта "повесточка"... и до рыбалки добралась

How is fly fishing racist 😂

Man, I love my Simms gear, but I won’t be buying anymore. This is a joke.
no comment is still a comment.
Un. Real.
Another great vid just PLEASE keep politics out of it There is ABSOLUTELY no need for that
simms quality is slipping recently...and now they're actvists? Simms no1 priority should be quality products.
So….. now racism exists in fly fishing? Hahahahaha this is ridiculous.
Dude saying he’s from Baldwin Michigan… there is a load of racism in the community there/surrounding areas.
Definitely met my share of people on the river who are. All about the fish though!
