It’s been some time since there’s been a new Montana trout video from Todd Moen and Catch Magazine. And now, for our delight, we have “Spring Creek.”
From Catch Magazine:
“Normally I wouldn’t find myself doing much traveling to film fish during the hot summer months, especially in August. But the summer of 2015 I made some plans to go find cooler water. I was invited back to one of my favorite places on earth, to meet a couple of friends capturing the hopper hatch together in full swing. The smoke was thick from summer wildfires in the Rockies, and the conditions were tough to film in. But the fish were ready and eager to take a fly each time I set up my position with the camera, and the anglers were successful most every cast. Spring creeks are an angler’s (and camera operator’s) dream… if you have the patience. These two friends had a blast fishing the Spring Creek magic. It was certainly one of the highlights of my summer! When life offers you the chance to go outside, have some fun and enjoy the river with a friend, you better do it! I was lucky enough to capture it on film. Hope you enjoy this fun, fly fishing adventure!”

Some great “take” sequences and the slo-mo showing the slack line on the upstream cast to minimise drag. Encouraging to know that even the pros are not infallible when they strike too soon! A great film.
