Well these are a lot of photos, 25 a second to be precise

A friend and me, after having a rather rough night, went for our favourite little creek in the middle of nowhere in the Alps. There was lots of climbing etc involved, and being hung over as didn´t help too much. However, we had a really nice day fishing our 3 wt rods (well I was the one who had to handle the cam). We have fished this creek a few times already, often with a 0,5 TFO. However as small as it is this little creek can produce fish up to 50 cm and casting a 3 wt just looks better on video


Enjoy:

Thanks!

It´s neither Wolfgang, nor Laura. My buddy Wolfgang is the fisherman, whilst LauraPalmer is my amateur video label (I´m obviously a big Twin Peaks fan). Mostly they were browns with an occasional brook trout here and there.
Looking for the welcome forum now...

he is doing snakerolls and Snap-Cs mostly. There is also a bow and arrow cast in there... My favourite cast for tight situations is the switch cast/backhand switch followed by the snakeroll; with a little practice, they can be a real help in such situations

Thanks guys.

Great video. Your buddy has some serious ninja casting skills. Those are the kind of streams I fish on the regular. I have a lot to learn.

Yes, the stream is indeed very "steep" with lots of trees and plants around it - so pool after pool and very humid with tons of flies. Basically all little streams in the Austrian mountain regions are like that; however this one is outstanding because of the number (and sometimes size) of the fish. After shooting the video I was fishing there and cought a rather big one - and was lucky enough to land - very easy to loose especailly the bigger ones there; they fight like crazy and jump like rainbows... It´s very unknown und you can´t find any information about it on the internet. Well, and most people around here refuse to fish in such conditions anyway
I´m really glad to have found this forum, where it´s not all about the biggest trout or salmon and also very happy you guys can appriciate that sort of fishing so much.

Thanks. I´m no fan of smoking anyway, but that´s something he has to decide for himself; however it matched the mood of the film Going fishing with him is always a blast and sometimes a challenge: During the shooting we had around 5 big beers each; after a night where we got completely hammered and slept 3-4 hours only - balancing those slippery rocks with 15 kg of camera gear got a bit challenging at times
He is actually a very good caster, especially with the 5wt rod; he beat a VERY well known caster on a shootout by a few meters, without really training distance casting...
And he has some fancy casting degree(he teaches a lot), which I´m trying to get myself next year too

Great videography! Your YouTube account is ".be" which is Belgium. However that is nowhere near the Alps. What country was this video shot in?

And fishing, not to even think about hiking in the Alps with a hangover has got to be rough!

The last time I was in Belgium I made a trip to the Delirium Bar. I wasn't hungover the next morning. I was still drunk.

Thanks for the video. Look forward to more!

Killer video, gotta ask, who the band providing the tunes, they have a cool sound.

Nice video, I just can't stop watching those casts, you should do an instructional video on them, I know that it would help me out, single hand speys, very cool.
