  G’morning Aardvark. That trip looks just spectacular. How do you decide where to go with so many beautiful places to visit for that ultimate check mark on the bucket list? The Seychelles or the Maldives have some serious competition now and it’s closer to home! Thanks for bringing us along.

  @AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing9 күн бұрын

  Thanks for the comment. At the Tsimane helicopter programme in the Bolivian jungle, they limit environmental impact through several strategic measures. Their operations prioritize the use of eco-friendly aviation fuel to reduce carbon emissions. They employ precise flight planning to minimize fuel consumption and avoid sensitive ecological areas. Additionally, regular maintenance of their helicopters ensures optimal engine performance and reduces emissions. They also engage with local communities to implement sustainable practices, such as supporting reforestation projects and wildlife conservation efforts, to offset any environmental footprint their activities may leave. The entire Tsimane fishing programme is operated in conjunction with the local tribes and is why it is such a success.

  good video. for me the most important thing I can think of b/f purchasing a fly line for a particular rod is to determine what "grain" wt. casts best with the particular rod. there are times i will select a line that is a wt size less for the rod. Why? b/c I know what is the best grain wt for that rod and it just casts better for the baitfish patterns that i like to use. hope this helps.

  Thanks Jake, how do you determine which grain weight is best for that rod?

• 
  @jakefinn790516 күн бұрын

  @@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing that is a great question. And thank you The first thing I like to do is talk to the manufacturer of the rod they can be a wealth of knowledge another resource would be your local Fly Shop and lastly, overtime you accumulate various fly lines with different grain weights. I like to head over to the park with a couple of reels or spools loaded with different grain weights and my favorite baitfish pattern and see which line works best. Hope this helps.

  I love my Marquis 8/9 Multiplier, was handed down to me from my uncle who received it as a gift from my grandfather when they traveled to Labrador for their monsters- caught practically nothing from what I understand. He also handed down to me a Flyweight, a Husky and a Lightweight, great reels to have for NH trout streams- Hardy has definitely become a staple for so many people around the world for generations.

  Interesting film, I am an old boy but a bit of advise. A lot of modern reels are far to “fancy” as our American friends would say, I was once shown a sea fishing fly reel with a very tricky system for engaging the spool when changing it, as you would when salmon fishing for a different line. You don’t want that at dusk in Scotland or Norway or wherever you are. The chunky tough Marquis 2 for salmon is ideal. It’s un complicated. For an equivalent in the world of military weapons the Marquis is a Lee Enfield rifle, it would jam when your fish depends on it, it’s rugged and lasts forever. And it didn’t let me down ever with fish on the fly up to twenty pounds in very powerful flowing rivers.

  Well done Olly. You cover a lot of info here that is very helpful including a lot of stuff that isn't mentioned in other permit videos. Have only had one chance in 12 total days of Bahamas fishing at Andros (the Jolters) with a pair of 15 lb permit following a ray in about six feet of water; got them to turn and follow a crab pattern for several yards right up to the skiff before they turned off. In afterthought, the guide telling me to strip rather quickly, then slow, them strip quickly was not a natural action of a crab, which may try to flee, but will also stop and raise claws in a defensive position. So the next time I have a chance, I'm going to try and use the "hold the crab at the stopped and ready" position after the permit eyes the fly with maybe a short quick strip and then another pause if he doesn't take. Heading to Andros again this year and then Belize in 2025 so hopefully I'll get some shots to "experiment".
