I've been doing more fishing this year than I have for a few years and with the rise of youtube I find myself saying "Brian Chan says" or "Brian Chan does this" about a 100 times a day! I even warned my fishing buddies that I would be invoking his name a lot.

I really enjoyed EVERY SINGLE video in this series. So interesting. So informative. So entertaining. I am not usually a fan of educational/ science stuff. However, you sir, have converted me...
Thank you.

Brian Chan is a treasure, and an absolute treasure trove of trout lake fishing info! Wonderful man.

Very informative and helpful! Thank you.

Great video. Very well explained. From experience I believe that those spinners could stay few days (standard is 24 hours) in the trees until the weather right for them to go back to lake to lay eggs. Just an observation from experience.
