Small Stream - Big Trout

Me and Martin went out to see if we could find some nice trout streams in the neighbourhood. We found a promising river and asked the landowner if we could give it a try. He said "yes, but I don't think you'll catch anything. I haven't seen any fish and nobody ever comes here to fish". Well, look what we found...
This video has been moved here from my other channel. Some adjustments have been made to the colour grading and three shots of feeding trout have been added to the original.
Martin uses a Winston LT 5-piece 7'9" #2 with a Danielsson reel.

Anytime you start your day with Carpe Diem and the beautiful video footage it’s a great day. Blessings gentlemen

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Ben. Really appreciate it :) Cheers

It is as though you were dreaming. What a scenery!!! You are wading a small river with a most beautiful variety of hiding places for trout: you find one in one curve then find another still bigger in a different narrower stretch of water with lots of hanging trees covering it. One trout is superbly beautiful but then you catch another with more red spots...definitely a dream, especially for the lots of trees and the small winding wild river. It reminds me of the scenery the English writer Izaak Walton must have enjoyed in the pristine rivers of the XVII Century: pure spiritual bliss.
It also reminds me of the Spanish Guadiana river of the early seventies when I was a kid and its water was abundant and unpolluted...lots of trees... and lots of coves in the river, then a pool, a current following... a variety of hiding places for fish and for the imagination of a keen juvenile fisherman.
A superb video. Pure joy. May that beautiful Swedish river remain unspoiled for many years to come. And also the rest of places that are still pristine on our Planet Earth.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Antonio. Very nice comment. Really appreciate it :) :) It's still possible to find gems like this but it seems that we humans are slowly destroying them all so it's best to take the opportunity while it's still possible. Cheers

[@lyzadavis543]

I really love your videos..been watching you for some time now and its wonderful to see that their are others who understand that a trout must be stalked carefully and quietly in order to coax him into rising to the fly

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Iyza. Appreciate it :) Cheers

[@thecumbriaflyfisher7704]

How do I keep missing these. I thought I’d watched all your videos them come across another gem like this one. Just the sort of small stream fishing I love but with much better quality fish. I love the filming and editing of your videos and each one inspires me to get out again. Thanks so much for sharing. 👍👍👍👍

Nice fish guys and great camera work. That is a good size stream by my standard. Here in Carolina and Virginia we fish streams you can step across in places running through dense stands of rhododendron. Casting gets very creative!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

No doubt. Been over on that side of the mountain too. Y'all have some great water over there. I fish all kinds of water from the small skinny to the big stream tail waters. I like the big water and the big fish best! Haven't made it to the Holston yet but I'm going to!

I fished a tiny stream for little 6-8” brookies most of the day when I hooked into a massive 5-pounder. I played that fish for what seemed like an hour before I brought it to the net. Yup.......it was a carp!

When your fishing small streams like that what size of rod would you recommend?

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

@@TheEmiliodiaz In this video we use a #2 rod. That's a bit light, especially if it's windy. I would say a #2-4 rod is good for this type of stream. And pretty short because of all the branches. Maybe around 7,5 feet or so. Cheers

There are snakes. Not particularly harmful though :) Cheers

Do you ever eat the fish you catch?

On occasion we do eat a fish or two. Especially when we are up north where there are lots of fish. In a stream like you see in this video we would never kill a fish though. The population is very delicate. Cheers
