2 Fast 2 Furious - Upper Itchen 2011

A huge storm was coming in from the North Atlantic, giving me just a few minutes to fish the calm before the storm.
Driven to a frenzy by the river´s feasting trout and further aggrevated by the sound of some guy drilling a hole for a flag pole outside his summer cottage, I experienced some severe strike problems. Somehow, I managed to cool down just before the storm hit the river and made fishing and filming impossible.

I know what I'm talking about I'm from this area. Anyway, I'm a fan of your vids.

@sherbourne2299 You´re absolutely right, of course. It´s a code name, really: we just call it the "Upper Itchen" because it´s way up north (well above the arctic circle), and sort of resembles the legendary Itchen in parts. And, frankly, also because we don´t want to reveal the true name of this little gem online. Our film "Les Vaches et Les Mouches" illustrates the resemblance slightly better;)

Thanks Leonassi,

The intro/outro tune was improvised during a soundtrack recording session we did in Gothenburg earlier this year. We call it "The Roasty One".
