Native Trout Barriers, Pike County, PA - Wooly Bugged
In this episode I travel to Pike County, Pennsylvania for the first time to fish for native brook trout and wild brown trout. I find a 3 miles long freestone tributary that flows through wild terrain. Deep into the woods, the stream moves through a steep descent and cascading waterfalls. These falls create a natural barrier between the non-native wild brown trout and the native brook trout. This brook trout population isolated. Is this good or bad? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

In this video I meet up with my friend Dante and we head to an undisclosed stream in New Jersey that holds a healthy population of wild brown trout and is located less than 45 minutes from New York City. I didn't believe it until I fished it. Wild trout find a way. I fish my 7'-3wt Yamame glass rod in this video but had I known the size of the stream I would've brought a longer rod. The fish in...

In this video I explore new wild trout water in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania. Streams in this area were seeing low summertime water conditions just a week prior to the filming of this video.

In this video I hike miles into a remote part of Sullivan County, Pennsylvania in search of wild trout. I find hidden waterfalls and an isolated population of fish above the falls. I walk a couple of miles of a freestone tributary and use a fiberglass fly rod and various dry fly patterns. The views are stunning, with large rock outcroppings, crystal clear water, and a green forest canopy. Durin...

zhlédnutí 9KPřed 3 lety
Last week I traveled to Sullivan County, Pennsylvania and fished a small freestone mountain stream that supports not only a healthy population of wild brook trout, but also Little Yellow Stoneflies. These bugs are common on Appalachian Mountain streams that have clean water and are well oxygenated. Also known as Yellow Sallies, members of the genus Isoperla, these bugs have a life cycle that la...

Treasure: something of great worth or value Last week, singer-songwriter Hayden Sammak of the indie rock band Deadfellow (now podcast engineer with MeatEater) dropped me a message. He said he was in northeastern Pennsylvania recording demos for his new album and wanted to take a break to do some fly fishing. He explained he’d stumbled onto a true blue-line brook trout stream (not surveyed by th...

Brushleg: family of mayflies that includes the Isonychia, also known as the Slate Drake or Mahogany Dun On Sunday I fished a small tributary that supports a great population of wild brown trout.

Daylight: knowledge or understanding of something that has been obscure I spent a lot of time researching a surveyed wilderness trout stream in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. On Saturday I made the trip and was prepared to hike the 4.5 miles through public land down to the mouth of the tributary. I was in search of wild brook trout that would take a dry fly.

Solitude: the state or situation of being alone On Sunday I hiked into the mountains of Potter County, Pennsylvania in search of wild brook trout. I fly fished a small freestone tributary that was 3 miles in length. It was an overcast day with occasional light rain showers. Most fishermen would have defined these conditions as perfect. The water levels were slightly above average due to the amo...

I grew up near there. We always called it Pulas-EYE, not Pulas-Key.
@@johngee876 you would know John, I won’t argue the point!
Great video really nice fish keepthe video's coming
Mike what a amazing video! Apsalotally loved it ya gotta start posting some more videos!
I grew up in Perry County...sounds exactly like a remember August days to sound. Not sure why this popped up on my CZcams feed but really glad it did. Thanks.
Those landing nets look HUGE!!!😂
You boys up north got it made. Fishing here in Texas sucks.
You have sold me on the squirmy wormy, I have never fished one before but I think I'm now a believer. My gf took me on a guided wade trip on this river on June 11th this year, we lucked out so much, was overcast and 60 degrees that day, water was sub-60 degrees too. I caught over 20 all on dries and my gf caught 6 all on dries (her first time fly fishing). It is a beautiful river! Nice job out there, nice fish!
I used to go here and the little cove tannery all the time as a kid there was an old farmer named Fred that used to let us all hang out camp and fish on his land and then others ruined it... Some of the biggest trout I've ever caught were out of these streams
We all need a second chance….
Beautiful brooky.
Does anyone know all the hatches on middle creek? Do green drakes hatch there like on Penns Creek? Thanks!
This is my local fishing spot but I’m new.Would you be able to tell me where you parked? Down stream from the game lands bridge is my guess?
Just saw this (a few years too late) and I want to thank you for an excellent video. You also did a video on Chittenango Creek in Central New York. I was wondering how the two streams compare in your view (in terms of numbers of fish, size of fish, the whole experience, etc.)?
Used to fish a bamboo spinning outfit but the tip broke and that was that. This weekend I broke the fly rod I built forty years ago right out of college. I'm devastated and don't want to build new ones anymore. So, I've been researching bamboo and wanting to get back to that again. I'm looking for an 8' five weight so I can just put the reel I already have on it. They are expensive, but looking around I've found some places with discounts on them. How good they are I don't know. I'll find out.
I live a half hour from there and never fished it thanks for the video
nice video. what test bite tippet did he have on? how many pounds? thanks
Thank you - that's the way all trout should be released. Nice, easy, and smooth.
Thanks for the video. Could you tell me if the first section you fished is above the falls? If not, is it below the falls but above the Catch And Release section?
Good job! I jerked off to this video ,thank u!
The sound of the stream flowing over the rocks is all the music needed. Great video!
Mike, I’m really glad I found your channel. I really love what you do and how you do it. Well done!
Literally live right where he is lol
for the love of buggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ricketts or Shunk?
This creek used to be amazing. Before all the euro goons and social media personas plastered it all over the Internet.
I didn’t know you owned it.
I love this spot....fished it many years with my dad....have always had good luck here....thanks for taking me back....I miss it
Yeah that is a great video of caching some amazing fish i really enjoyed it and I have a river like that in my home town it's a great spot thanks for sharing big like from me bud tight lines🎣 and catch you on the next video 🤝🇮🇪👍
Loved the rod and reel
The gorge is a beautiful wild river but very tough wading.
Where in Pike county were you fishing ??? Looks like shalola falls ???
I mean this feels like a one in one hundred days fishing experience. That water isnt that productive all the time.
In a few years I say it’s going to be a musky fishery.
Really?
What size rod u using?
Got my vote on the net holding. Great trip you’ve had.
Thanks for the video. I’ve backpacked large portions of Shenandoah National Park over the years and have occasionally fished its stream. A spectacular park. As you mentioned other people and their dogs and apparently off leash, are an extreme burden not to mention it’s illegal.
Are these a different species from PNW steelhead? Every one I've caught especially in S Umpqua river in Oregon had a very dark silvery head. One you showed looked very much like a really big rainbow, pale head with spots...
Jake, you could add a few of Gunnar Bramner flies to your box!
Would that happen to be double run near worlds end S P near Forksville? I have a second home near there.
Fantastic video! Why a 10’ 8wt? Thanks
Bro I been fishing in the exact same spots literally of the Elkhorn , I go in right in the water right at the train track and fish every bit of that, I actually sale my friends dad caught a 29 inch brown and a 32 in brown.. He turn me on to the place ass a kind and told me the whole trout truck story, anyway my daughter and I are big fisher, and I'm have told her about it so this weekend we're going to hit it hard weather permitting and you can watch our video.. That was maybe the best fishing video I have ever seen just cause that place is special to me and am glad you guys caught some make me proud that I know what am taking about when I tell me daughter we're the fish are at..
Very nice video. Great editing too.
Like fishing there
Time to dust it off and get back in the game…your “work” is missed…
Why do you make a viode of you fishing the pquest river new jersey
Yep! Native brownie!
Your bead setup is exactly what we use in Alaska for rainbows and dolly varden! Simple and fun!!!
I live in Rochester and fish locally often. Usually around valley park in spring/early fall for pike and walleye..... Where is this if you dont mind me asking. Wpuld love to fish some beads
Hey Mike this was the first time seeing one of your videos did anyone ever answer your question about President Hoover and get the flask ?
I love rainbow trout butt that brown trout was gorgeous.
Totally agree. Thanks.
Lovely video Mike. I grew up in Potter county and chased the native bookies in a small stream. The most beautiful fish I have ever seen. This made me nostalgic for those days.
