I think this was the first time I saw Brian on TV back in the day. Great memories. You and Grant were such a great team. Makes me think of the big Gerard rainbows they used to stock in some lakes. Some of the changes that have happened since haven't been good. Some of my favourite lakes from back then aren't worth going to now. This is how you know you're getting old. You complain about how things used to be.

It’s great to have these memories and everything evolves...good or bad. Just keep smiling, fly fishing, and living life. 😊👍

😂😂😂 love the out takes. I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks again 👍

Good looking dog!

I remember having this on VHS when Tim and I met Don and Grant at a fishing expo. Tim has since horded the VHS but now I can watch it from the comfort of my home! Thanks for the upload ha

When will you place the nymph at the mid section of water column. If pond is 8 feet deep then when will be the best time to place the chironomid at 4 feet deep? Or most trout mostly feed chrironomid either on top for emerges and adults and bottom for larva and suspended pupa.? Also for how long does the pupa remain suspended one foot from the bottom before they swim up to the surface and what triggers them to swim up to hatch to adults stage ?Thanks.

So I’ll try to answer in order of the questions: 1) We fish the Chironomid higher in the water column when you see Chironomids emerging and hatching, which shows they are migrating up in the water column. We also fish higher when the water is very clear and the fish are looking up to feed. Doesn’t work as well in murky water. 2) Bloodworms are active on the very bottom, crawling around and making their tubular homes. Pupa can remain suspended just off the bottom for WEEKS before they emerge, which is why deep line Chironomiding can be so effective. We’ve seen them emerge in cold, blustery weather and also calm, hot days so not sure what triggers their emergence, they just decide it’s time to make a run for it 😊. Hope this helps.

@@SFOTFthese answers really make sense, thanks again. The internet doesn’t say much about the details stages of the chironomid other than the cycle in which doesn’t help much in term of the bug and for the fishermen to present the bug. I really appreciate your time and knowledge. Thanks again.

Didn’t mention about the fly rod

What year is this ? 1996 ?

Yes, this DVD was produced in the late 90’s but still contains useful information.
