Buddy that is Videographer for Midwest Outdoors Television had
some down time and decided to shoot an underwater Trout Video.
I decided to help carry the light equipment and get him access to
some sweet water.
…
the fog was burning off.
I was stream side.
The trout were scurrying everywhere.
I was helping with the Video project.
The feeling of loss overwhelmed me.
I can’t fish for trout in Wisconsin for 5 months.
The video crew will shoot again tomorrow and edit all
of the footage and then a music technician will mix some
music in.
It truly was pain full to be stream side without a fishing pole.
Was like going to a gold mine without a shovel.
It is going to be a LONG winter (5 months)
Will share the link to the video when it is available.
Coulter Mitchell is the brains behind this.
I helped with site/trout location and some
landowner permission for project. Shoot a
little footage.
He plans a full length made for TV show that will be done in about a year.
3-4 trips are planned.
Coulter is coming out soon to spend three days in my neck of the woods.
Then he will return 2 more weekends. One three dayer in Spring and another
three dayer in Summer. I was out scouting this morning for likely areas to shoot
and I found three other places where the trout are thick he will have plenty of footage.
His documentary will be done about a year from now. I didn’t know the film was going to be
done so professionally.
I was impressed. He called the little UTube thing a teaser.
It is Coulter Mitchell’s project. I am a grunt and trout finder and land owner liaison
Have a couple holes that have TIGER trout possibilities. In stream born.
Coulter and I went out in the rain this last weekend.
He shot some transition shots. From summer/fall/winter and now spring. He has a couple of those.
We did some under water shots. We stumbled on a tiger trout during the underwater shoot.
Last time out we suspended cables between trees over a stream or two and did some footage over the stream. It seems like you are floating above the water. It really looks interesting. Coulter also got some fry shots this winter.
To finish the day he filmed a massive owl in a tree that was looking for a trout to eat. He has it sitting and taking off after its prey. The wing span is enormous.
One more weekend of shooting in the near future and he will be done.
