Only a PSYCHO Would Fly Fish in 115°F...

When it's over 110°F outside, most people stay inside and surround themselves with fans and air conditioning. Unfortunately for my physical health, I am not "most people"! ????????

In this video, I went out and did two sessions of fly fishing over two consecutive days in the extreme summer heat of Phoenix, Arizona. The first day, the temperature reached a scalding 110°F. The second day, the temperature reached an absolutely MISERABLE 115°F!

My goal was to catch fish on dry flies during both of the sessions. It was brutal, it was hot... but somehow, I got it done!

Location: Arizona canals
Method: Fly Fishing (Dry Flies)
Species: Grass Carp (White Amur)
