Cory Cuje

For years, I had followed Cory’s videos through his Old Dominion Trout Bum YouTube channel. Like many anglers, I was initially drawn to the unique perspective created by the chest-mounted camera he used while fishing. The viewer wasn’t simply watching someone catch trout. You felt like you were standing in the river alongside him. And, of course, there always seemed to be a cigar clenched between his teeth. It became as much a part of his on-stream persona as the fly rod in his hand.
