Catching Big Trout on the Nantahala River || Fly Fishing Western North Carolina

I head up to North Carolina to fish the Nantahala River Delayed Harvest. As always, the river contains a stocked trio of rainbow, brook, and brown trout. The apricot colored egg was the big fly of the day, very unsurprisingly.
This video was recorded back in November but life has been busy I didn't get to editing it until now, which is a shame because it was a great time. Due to the sheer number of fish caught that day, I have done my best to limit the length of the video to some of the better fish.

"Junk fly" snobs are so funny to me. If it catches fish, it catches fish. Sometimes they want eggs or worms. Have fun catching fewer fish though I guess.

That's what I'm saying 🙏 Gotta do what you gotta do.

Shees the last guy with the beanie on is pretty cool. He caught the nicest one ! What a stud

[@lumis-fly-fishing]

Both he and the fish are pretty cool 🤣

🤩 Dude you are so Lucky living and being able to fish in such a beautiful place 🥰
Gorgeous trout 😍 tight lines

[@lumis-fly-fishing]

I could say the same about people fishing out west 😁 thanks and to you as well!

Yep. The good ol’ Nantahala. Low crowds and good fishing. Got to get back soon also. Great video.

[@lumis-fly-fishing]

I would say we got very lucky with the crowds that day simply because the morning temps were freezing. 95% of weekends are very packed 😅 weekdays are best.
Thanks for watching!

Awesome video mate! Keep up the good work.

[@lumis-fly-fishing]

Thank you! Will do!

It will be nice if you show and talk about your technique and presentation so we the rookies or people who are looking to start flyfishing get an idea where to start, I'm in nantahala now, catch my first trout ever yesterday on a spinning rod. Across the endless River adventure place, but I heard the upper nantahala river is where the action is...Great video bro!!

[@lumis-fly-fishing]

Thank you. Will keep this in mind.

I just used your video to see which side the reels goes on on a fly rod lmao

[@scottwinfrey5436]

I did the same 😂 right handed reel on left side. Thank goodness my son corrected me😊

Invest in a Ketchum Release tool so you don't handle the fish as much. I know these are stockers but if you fish for native brookies you cause less stress and less chance of removing their slime coat. Nice bow...
