  • I'd like to introduce my son Charlie, in this very special film “Travels with Charlie: In search of B.C. Coho salmon.” My eleven year-old Charlie Moen makes his debut on film with a trip into British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest in search of Coho salmon on the fly. Born into fly fishing, this young boy finds big fish on the rivers feeding Kimsquit Bay. Led by Jeff Hickman, guide and owner of Fish the Swing and Kimsquit Bay Lodge, Charlie finds classic high-action hookups, gorgeous aerial shots and plenty of chrome.
    “Travels with Charlie” is an uplifting story of a boy’s perspective on fishing and working with his filmmaking father in a coming-of-age adventure. Orcas and whales, eagles and bears…this is the quintessential B.C. It captivates even the seasoned angler with its reminder of humble and exciting beginnings into the sport of fly fishing. With much pride and a whole lot of nostalgia, we present to you a very special film starring the next generation of Catch Magazine.

    Moen’s footage is always so enjoyable. I hope he is paid better than most in the industry as his work deserves it. Everyone already knows this but I just wanted to say I enjoy his work . Thanks

  • @ScottMilamscottenglishphoto

    That shot of him getting an *almost* lip piercing and laughing was amazing! Love how he responded in joy from that!! Great film!

    Way to go father and son. I have fished with my now 34 year-old daughter since her very early childhood and count every day spent on the water with her a precious gift. You really brought back some special memories. Thank you.

    One of my favorites to date. Some of the emotions displayed; unbelievable. That hook to the lip was cinematic gold.
    Congrats Todd

    • @CatchMagazine
      @CatchMagazine  Před 2 lety +3

      Thanks so much Tony. I love how you described that. It’s just perfect cinematic gold. Will never happen again like that. Lucky I was there at that moment to capture it as tight as I could. Charlie was so tired at that point he was using both hands to cast the single hand rod. Haha

    Have never been to BC, but Fly Fishing has been the main way me and my father bond.
    It is nice to see others experience the same thing.

    The look on his face when he hooked that coho from the log is awesome! Taking my nephews fishing with me the last few years has been one of the best experiences of my life. Passing it down to the next generation is what it is all about and seeing the passion in their eyes is priceless!

    • @CatchMagazine
      @CatchMagazine  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks. Yes, that facial expression is just unbelievable. I think most kids would would have that same reaction. I guess I was just so lucky I was zoomed in and tight on Charlie to capture it all that way. I really can't believe that all happened!

    crazy how the memories came back to me about my fishing at that age with my dad. Didn't matter that I was catching brookies in the colorado high country instead of big cohos. The experience with my dad at that age is irreplaceable. i enjoyed this video as much as any as it brought those memories back so vividly. Great job!!

    • @CatchMagazine
      @CatchMagazine  Před 2 lety

      Thanks. Thing about Charlie is that he gets it that fishing might not ever be this good ever again. He’s seen me come home from work trips far to often saying the fishing was super tough.
