Hello my fellow fishing friends. I was outdoors again on the Bow River doing my thing. The fishing was a little slow today but I was able to catch one Brown Trout. We were down at the deep hole in search of those scrappy trout. My guiding partner is down with a serious cold so I invited my brother-in-law out to slay some trout with me. On my very first cast a trout hammered my offering but got off the line. The next trout smashed my bait and pulled the same escape trick.
When fish strike, they sometimes strike out of aggression; and not because they are feeding. This is called an aggression strike and fish do this because they are territorial, especially Brown Trout. This is why I lost the first two trout. My third fish did the same thing but I was able to just hook him and actually land him. Just a little luck sometimes helps the cause.
I have just added YouTube to the website and the video resides at the bottom of the Blog. I will be frequently adding new videos to the Blog. We will shoot video out on the water as well as tips from the bench when we cannot fish. I think you will enjoy this new feature which will help me express myself live on the water where the real action happens. I look forward to showing all of you what the Bow River is all about through this tool. You can view the video now at the bottom of the Blog.

I like the idea of YouTube. That will be very good. I also like that when I got down to this reply, the blanks above were filled in. That’s mighty cool! How did you set that up? I want to have this feature.
I’d also like to have the YouTube addition, especially to talesoffish. This could be your great chance to coach me! Yeah!!!!
And tell me about the 7 icon links below the Share This Post. What do they do for you and how do you set them up?
Hey Dwayne, thanks for your questions. Those icons below this post are called bookmarks. You submit each and every post to these book mark sites and they store your info you’ve submitted on their database. These book mark sites are great to gain exposure to your website.
Adding video to your site is also quite easy even for a beginner like myself. You just regester with Youtube, once you have regesterd you click the upload video button on Youtube’s site, your video will then upload to Youtube’s database. Once the video has finished uploading you can add more info like where the video was taken and so on. You will then get the HTML code to paste into your Blog.
I run WordPress so I go into my admin, Theme editor, Sidebar and paste the code in that way. I’m not sure about Blogger but you can always go to Bloggers help desk and ask them how it’s done on Blogger. I hope this helps Dwayne and good luck with your site and Youtube. Mike.
