Fishing is about enjoying nature (the outdoors), spending time with friends, teasing, etc., not being technically perfect. Look at the guy... he's happy and enjoying himself... that's what it's all about.
@headforthetropics you might be right, but i have NEVER MET ONE flyman who could sing like him...so i would have to say the advantage was with JD. RIP man, what an OUTSTANDING VOICE.
My brother in law is an AVID fly fisherman. So I showed him the 'Fly Fishing the World' video with John and said, "Does he really know how to fish or is it all just for the camera?" My B-i-L said, "That man could FISH!" Love 4:00-5:00. Hey howcome he doesn't have waders on? Or does he?
My 2nd time, or 3rd or 4th time looking at this. I just love it. John looked so good in it and he was doing something he loved. I like that he said '43 was a very good year and the other fella couldn't guess what he was talking about...that it was his birth year.
I wonder if he grew the beard for "Walking Thunder". I think he looks fantastic with a beard (or without). It is fun to see him enjoying life. He deserved all the happiness he could get.
I love watching John being just John with a smile on his face and enjoying life! Thanks so much for posting this hearting and happy time in John's life.
Its nice to see John doing something that truly made him happy, he is so relaxed and at home fly fishing. What makes me laugh, is he was just like you and I, if you listen closely he often says the word "what", and not pardon......thanks for posting this !!!!!
Once again, thanks so much for this post. I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, listening to JD's music and fishing for trout in his beloved streams. Brings back those "childhood" memories. Putting it on my "favorites" list right now. -trouttrek-
Most people would say sh*t at the moment they caught a fish which flew after 2 seconds.
John just says 'ów!' in a happy way :)

Are those his famous green waders? One of his friends remembered that they called him Kermit when he wore his green waders! :)
