In this exciting premiere episode of Hooke, Derek Martin and Phillipe Laperriere go fly fishing for massive Bull Trout in western Canada. The duo jump in the RV and begin their trip on the renowned Bow River in Calgary. After meeting with local guides John and Mark for a night on the town, they hit the river for their first fish of the season; a pair of pristine Rainbow and Brown Trout on light tackle. The next day they set their sites on a trophy and visit a secret location in the Rockies home to massive Bull Trout, made evident by the enormous flies presented to them by their guides. The sensitivity and rarity of the species make Bull Trout a revered and respected species to anglers. Amidst pale blue waters and snow peaked mountain wilderness the crew land some nice smaller fish drifting the boats, but a local legend decides to let them in an an even more secret spot 30km upriver by boat. After a clever change of tactics, the fish suddenly come on the feed, and Derek hooks into one of the biggest fish the crew have ever seen, a true fish of a lifetime!
