With our recent trip to Montana we spent a few days on the Madison River and we shot about an hour of Dave Hancey pulling out one fish after another. At one point he casted 12 times and landed 7 fish.
The Madison River is very special place to the Frenziers. We have spent many hours and days on that river and it has become a spiritual and emotional part of our lives. This video is a tribute to the Madison and also to Dave Hancey, among the guys in the Frenzy group he has fished these waters with passion and respect.
I hope to some what I just said makes sense. Fly Fishing to me is spiritual and I believe that you must give respect to the waters and fish that allow you to fish them.
I titled the video “Seven for Twelve” and put it to some music from River Runs Through It, I couldn’t think of better music to put on the video that would help bring out the emotion of this place.
Enjoy!!!!

Sweet video. Every year on Memorial Day me and a group of buddies pay a visit to Three Dollar Bridge for a day of worship. My buddy Marck crushes ‘em while I and others basically walk the river banks hoping for one fish all day. I think Marck and Dave need to fish together.

There is just something special about that river. Dave definitely has it dialed in there.

I can feel ya on some of the spiritual aspect of the sport, but I’m not sure the river or the fish have a choice in “allowing” us to fish them. I mean, it’s not like the fish are capable of not biting when we….wait a minute. Maybe you’re on to something here….
Great video!
