You buy a GoPro, head down to the river, cast some line and chuck some bugs. If you’re lucky you catch a few nice fish all of which are captured from your noggin’ mounted camera. Now you upload the video and wait for instant web celebritydom. You hope a few big flyfishing industry types will come calling and start giving you some free schwag. Maybe you will be on first name terms with April V.
After a few months, you start wondering why your awesome video has only 42 views on Youtube. Aunt Jackie accounted for half of those. Hmmm. What happened?
Ivan Orsic’s Yukon Goes Fishing has been laying it down before GoPros hit the scene. He’s made over 50 videos. Each one is creative, extremely well-edited and synchronized with the tune. The pacing is a LeBron fastbreak. The cuts are Chris Paul. 95% of GoPro fishing videos resemble security camera shots of the janitor sweeping the Knicks locker room. Watch some YGF videos. Be inspired. Add your flourishes and catch some good fish. Show us the goods. Have fun. Take notes. The master class is in session:

You the man Ivan, keep on killing it!
No. 15 is simmering in the crockpot. It will be good.
