Been watching a lot of nonsense of Youtube during the pandemic and wanted a place to share some videos I've enjoyed and see what you're watching these days!

Very interesting. Thanks for posting!

Of late, I've been Covid-confined in Singapore and living vicariously through www.Youngbloods.co (for merch) and the YouTube channel for YBS Youngbloods (Brady Moss). There are 250 videos on his channel, and he's become an Ozzie internet celebrity with his mix of spearfishing (his mates and he are seriously good), fishing (OK skill sets), eye candy (all PG, but tasteful young women from time-to-time), his faithful dog, free seafood cooking & eating and lots and lots of toys (high end boats, jet skis, dirt bikes, 4WD and even a new house).

I just re-read what I typed and it sounds awful. I love fish, diving and fishing and the crystal clear waters of remote NW Western Australia are the real stars of the show: tropical fish, reefs, whales, sharks, rays, sea snakes . . . it's really about the critters.

Over the last couple of years I have enjoyed watching Ian Bain's series of Atlantic Salmon videos. Beyond a go pro on his head there is little hi-tech about these. Bain fishes regularly from mid-January to November in his home rivers in Scotland. I think he a member of a club with access to the Tay and gets access to a number of other rivers. No doubt being relatively famous helps Generally he posts a video or 2 every week.Don't expect a lot of fish to the beach.

Looks like a nice river! What is Ian most famous for? Watched a couple videos but no fish. Will keep trying!

Here's a cool one from Pioneer Pauly today. He often snorkels creeks on Vancouver Island looking for small gold nuggets. Today's video he takes scuba tanks and dives down into a deep river hole. Lots of fish shots, starting around 7:30 in the video. I was struck by the number of fish just a couple feet below the surface, as well as the number right underneath the white water at the bottom of the falls. I wouldn't have expected to see them hanging out so casually in such turbulent water! He's had Kitty from FWR on as a guest a couple of times too.

It's a sort McLhuan-esque fame. He is relatively famous for being so. Understand?

Besides that he is an old fart fixture in the Scottish Salmon angling community plus developed a relatively famous eponymous fly pattern; The Ian B special.

Not really Googled McHuan but didn't come up with much.

Not a video but amazing nonetheless:

It's a podcast about a guy who breaks into a museum and steals millions of dollars worth of extinct bird specimens in order to finance his Victorian fly-tying habit. The podcast is based on a book, The Feather Thief. Apparently there's a black market for feathers from rare and extinct birds. The feathers are used to craft ornate, impractical fly patterns that were in vogue back before all these birds were hunted to extinction. There are divisions within the elite fly-tying world (of which I'm not a part) about whether using stolen and/or endangered species is morally wrong. The podcast is about 55 minutes long... after you click on the link, just press the big play button to the left of the title. No fancy podcast software required!

sorry left out the L:

How about Andy Warhol who said that in the future everyone would be famous for 15 minutes?

Are we there yet?

I suppose Rod is also 'just' relatively famous but here we are.

Sorry you didn't like my video suggestions.

[Blood_Orange]

Sorry you didn't like my video suggestions.

No, the videos are fine! Not sure what I said that gave you that impression but that wasn't the intended meaning

The guy with the freediving channel posted on the Facebook group that he was going to dive the cable pool. I sent him directions to the canyon instead so he wouldn't get snagged at the cable pool. He dove the canyon yesterday and will post a video at some point. He messaged back that he saw a few salmon, found tons of lures, and there were places where they swam down to 10m deep and still couldn't even see the bottom with a flashlight! This was about 40m upstream of Houlgate Creek. Crazy. I'm really excited to see what it looks like down there... crazy to think that the river is deeper than it is wide in that area!

Listened to that podcast a couple of years ago. Very interesting, and an introduction to the shadowy world of competitive fly tying

I've got the book: The Feather Thief...highly recommended.

Awesome! Amazing how much wood there is down there to snag. So much river treasure.... the fish didn't seem too bothered by his presence!

Marling Baits put out a video today where he carves a soapstone bass lure and takes it out to the pond. It winds up weighing over 4 ounces, lol:

same guy but a bit upstream at Hopedale Road. More fish and a fair haul of lures:

Subbed to the Vedder guy. His awkwardness on camera is endearing I'm interesting in watching any underwater videos of any local rivers! Still waiting on the Cap video from the freediving guy.

I subscribed to the Scottish guy and finally saw him catch a fish in his latest video! I feel a kinship with him because he gets skunked as often as I do

[RalphH]

Another Scottish video. I don't know much about this fellow; caorach. He has a small number of subscribers.

This one showed up on my video feed today and was filmed within the last few days.

His videos are about fishing on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. They mostly feature walk in loch (lake) fishing on isolated water found after a long walk over the heath. There is little or no walking trails and he uses a GSP to avoid getting lost. The lakes have wild brown trout often of a good size.

There is also some salmon and sea trout fishing on the Island for which he has a few videos. I get a kick out of some of the euphemistic expressions such as a river in low water described as "being on it's bones".
