STREAMER FLY FISHING FOR BEGINNERS!! BROKEN FISHING ROD!
Just like the other challenges I’ve done on this channel this amazon challenge is meant to prove that you don’t need fancy gear to catch some awesome trout… of course things don’t always go as planned.
In this video I decided to do another amazon fly fishing challenge and this time the goal was to catch wild brown trout on a streamer. I got a Shakespeare Cedar Canyon Premier Fly kit... which ended up not being all that premiere. I struggled to put together a good pattern to catch fish and then when I finally did.. the rod BROKE INTO 2 PIECES!!
After breaking the rod I almost scrapped the entire day. But then I thought about how much effort I had put into the video and a wave of stubbornness rushed over me. I rummaged around in my car, found some duck tape, and taped the rod back together using a small stick as a splint. Then back to the river I went, with broken confidence and a broken rod.
So lets talk about it… at the time I was filming this video it felt like I had disproved my own theory. I mean maybe you DO have to spend a little bit of money to get something that won’t break on the first trout you catch… and then I realized that I caught 2 incredible wild brown trout with a rod in 2 pieces that was duck taped together. So I’ll let you be the judge… did I disprove my own theory by breaking the cheap rod? Or did I further prove my theory by using a broken rod to catch fish? Anyways I hope you enjoyed, leave a like on the video, and Thanks for watching.
