- Urban fly fishing at its best - I am just shocked of the quality of this fishery just minutes from the downtown district of Seattle Washington.

Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!! - Sport
So many good urban rivers and streams here in Western Washington. I love this one you’re on. Haven’t been there in awhile, but you don’t feel like you’re in an urban setting. Thanks Dan!
So true - so weird to have a trout stream like this below a busy freeway overpass as it meanders through neighborhood. So cool!
I work in Seattle and you make it look way better than it is.
We picked up a ton of trash last week so it was representing well this trip :))
@@FlyFishDan you do well! Keep up the good work.
That’s one of my holes. We have to keep it a secret!!! Good job
Love it when they hit on anything you through at them . Yall got some gorgeous water up there!
Happy fishin. 😊
Agreed - I am pretty lucky to live in the PNW for sure!
This looks familiar. Even catching little fish is fun in a nice setting.
Thanks for the video.
Well said - gorgeous fishery for sure. Thanks for watching Brian! Cheers!
Hello Dan! Is it an urban river? No kidding, it looks very nice stream. Great fishing!! All the best.
Flows right through town - pretty crazy, you would never know it while on the river (besides the car noises). Thanks and cheers!
I appreciate that you have just a handful of go-to flies for most any moving water you come to.
Funny too...I have boxes and boxes of different variations...but I typically use the same 12 every trip.
What an awesome spot! I’ll be over that way this weekend sadly no fishing. Spokane has some great urban options as well!
It really is an amazing urban river for sure - I'll have to explore Spokane's one day myself! Cheers!
I would use Ellensburg angler anytime, We fished with Todd a few weeks ago, great guide service. Still trying to determine where you are as likely not far from my house :)
Keaton is a great guide too - if you reach out to him, I am confident he would share his secrets to this amazing urban fishery. Cheers!
Wow - very cool fishery!
Yes, thanks!
another fine video ,keep them comeing please .
Thank you! I am on it! :))
Best fly fishing channel out there!!
Thank you! Very kind!
This is near Seattle? You would never know just how close to town you are - pretty incredible!
Very near Seattle - give Keaton a shout and I am sure he'll give you full scoop.
One of my favorite spots I know exactly where this is at if you go a couple miles up the river there is some really nice deep holes!
Nice! There was some guy swimming in that hole this evening...Lol
What's up just subscribed. I saw your post on Facebook. I am a fishing freak too. Lol.
Nice! Welcome to my channel!
Hey Dan,so today IT was more of a fishy thing.😁😁😁🙄🙄🙄 And finally a beautiful beautiful trout right?👀👀👀 At time of the video 8:40.😍😍😍 Sweet.🤗🤗🤗 Fish on.🤠🤠🤠
It was a good day for sure!
While I’ve only been to Seattle two times I was able to find some decent urban fishing. A local fly shop gave me a few suggestions and I was able to catch brook trout, rainbows and either cutthroats or cuttbows on dry flies. I live in the Chicago area so there’s no real trout fishing nearby that I can take off a few hours to fish. You’re a lucky guy Dan.
I’ve noticed that you primarily use a sculpzilla as your go to streamer fly. Do you ever use wooly buggers. My primary searching pattern is a thin mint bugger.
I grew up in chicago for a few years, I will say smallmouth fishing and musky fishing around there is excellent.
I caught them of piers and the Fox river.
What about steelhead/lake run browns?
Thanks Dale - Seattle area really is pretty great for outdoors activities for sure, especially fishing. I do have a recent love affair with the sculpzilla - super effective pretty much everywhere! My new confidence fly for sure.
I know that guest! May recognize some spots too? 🤔 haha great job, fish Ooon! 🐟
Nice! Thanks for taking the time to watch Jay!
Simple equation, bugs follow nutrients, fish follow bugs. I still wouldn't eat any fish that I caught there.
Surprisingly - though a ton of trash on the banks, the system is really healthy. Lots of white fish which usually is a good sign.
My local river, I love getting a couple hours in after work. I don’t carry a streamer and a dry rod, I carry a sculpzila and a dry rod.
sculpzilla is an amazing fly indeed - love that river!
Nice! Fish till it’s too dark to see 👍👍🤜🤛
Thanks!
If its the river I think it is, I went for a walk/hike near the dam and saw several fly anglers. I'll have to grab my gear and go up there before it closes for the year.
It's definitely worth the trip before it does - Cheers!
It was me who invented the sculpzilla. Let me know next time you’re in ellensburg and I’ll pick a high-end restaurant for us 👍
Lol - it is a good fly for sure!
One of my biggest fly rod steelhead ever came behind a sunken shopping cart on an urban creek in the roughly Vancouver washington area. Tons of debris and straight up litter in this very neglected super urban stream. Nobody fishes it. Hell you may need to be armed to fish it as its pretty dangerous there. ......but it gets summer and winter steelhead and has a population of rainbows and cuttthroat. Steelhead was 39 inches and 21 lbs. Unforgettable fish!!!!!
Ummmm....WOW!!!! That is pretty awesome
I am going to guess Salmon Creek, I have caught some nice trout there
@deanfirnatine7814 haha. Not much to be said. Bring a firearm these days.
Agree with you on the Zilla and the black Pats rubber legs. I’ll buy drinks if you’re buying lunch 🤓
It's a great bug for sure! What's for lunch??
I got to fish with one of the guys responsible for the pats rubber legs popularity. His name is Phil Chavez, he works/worked for RIO. Was pretty cool to meet one of the guys behind one of my favorite flies
Rock n roll 🎣🎸
Oh yeah~!
How safe is parking there?
Horrible - park on the road whenever possible (lots of break-ins)
Someone more knowledgeable than me can correct me but the nice Rainbow sure looked like a baby Steelhead to me!
Is this duwamish river
Dude!!! Shhhhhh
Lol
I didn't name it! ;))
went here last night, lost a fricken toad
@@thejazzykatty dang!
"remain unnamed" but posts a video of the most easily identified west side rivers that any angler with a fly rod in their hand has either fished or heard of. Hmm, great fishing spot security ya got going here.
Super click bait title too. Sure millions of commuters drive by daily, however most of them don't even fish.
Hey SuperDuper - perhaps you could think of something kind/constructive to say instead of perpetuating the plague of negativity found online today. Hope you have a better day and get out and fish this amazing stream. Better yet, hire the guide featured in this video. Cheers!
@@FlyFishDan being a content creator leaves you subject to comments and criticism. I know this may be tough for you.
I've got used to the online trolls so it doesn't really bother me anymore - just trying to redirect those that choose to be unkind and show them a better path as a human. All good! Have a good weekend!
