Helicopters at Halfmoon Lake
 
Howdy fellas!!!

Please welcome new episode of Fish Tail TV over from Halfmoon Lake.
I was mine third or forth time at this lake, but the first time when it happened to be that I was there by myself. Quite a great felling, especially on the well known lake around Edmonton.

Nothing new as for fish, same little perchy biting there, but I got lucky to see and film two chopers flying so low, and so close to me, which gave me massive goose bumps...

Check it out yourself

good stuff man, I like the video for sure
I'd be buzzing ya to if I were flying by lol. Done it a few times, always wondered what it looked like from the ground.

I had a similar experience at Half Moon last year. Got buzzed by a couple of Griffon helicopters, but my cell was in the truck, so I didn't get any video evidence. I wondered if the pilots were as surprised to see a lone fisherman on the ice as I was to see a couple of choppers flying below treetop level. Stunted perch was all I caught as well.

If your talking about Halfmoon that's north of BonAccord, I live across the road and I swear some nights they are on top of my house.

Hahaha, so you are the pilot as well? What a coincidence! Yeah, your friends must've scared me. Lol.
Do you need to fly that low, training to hide of the radar or something, or simply like to give a buzz to the fishermen?

Yes, that lake exactly. Seems like they're often guests over there. :)

well I don't fly for the military so I couldn't say for sure what those two are up to, most likely training of some sort, or they saw you and decided to give you a buzz, both are pretty probable lol
if I'm flying by a lake and see some guys ice fishing I'll get down low every time.

Jbone 12-04-2017 10:32 PM
