Yamsi Fly Fishing is located at the headwaters of South-Central Oregon's crystal-clear, spring-fed Williamson River. http://yamsiflyfishing.com In this film, Todd captures fourth-generation owner, Tom Hyde, as he navigates the 5,000-acre ranch by Polaris Ranger Side by Side to fly fish for rainbow and brook trout. In a stroke of luck, Moen hit the Williamson's late-summer grasshopper hatch, producing epic top-water action with rising fish and magnificent takes for his camera. As a longtime Panasonic camera operator, Todd Moen used a prototype camera - Panasonic HC-X2 for this shoot. His input and camera review, including a "Behind the Scenes" short film will be posted on Panasonic's website later today.
Thanks firstly to the Hyde Family at Yamsi; Tom & Leanne, John & Gerri. Their industry professionalism and long-time friendship means the world to me. Thanks also to my long time fly industry supporters R.L. Winston Rod Company, Bauer Fly Reels and Orvis Fly Fishing. Finally, much appreciation to Neil Matsumoto from Panasonic for giving me the opportunity to be the very first to test and use the Panasonic HC-X2, as I'm a true believer in the Panasonic brand (it's the only one I've tried and stuck with) since Catch Magazine began in 2009.
