  • Video of Michael Evanko fly fishing for native Pennsylvania brook trout in Clinton County. The stream fished in this video was accessed via public land and is a three mile long tributary to the West Branch Susquehanna River. This body of water holds a vibrant bug life and the trout were looking to the surface. Evanko fished a classic Royal Coachman pattern throughout the entire day. Large brook trout inhabited a majority of the stream. The water temps at the time of filming were in the mid 50s. This video was shot over a three hour time period on Sunday, May 5, 2019. All filming was solo and all access was on foot.

    Thank you - that's the way all trout should be released. Nice, easy, and smooth.

    I read somewhere long ago these little jewels will only grow proportionately to the size of the creek. Mike you could be catching some that are 10 to 20 yrs. old. I have some Royal Coachman's I'm going to try over in WV this season. And maybe my old glass rods. Funny but when I bought them they were the latest technology, now antiques. I may have used them couple of times each. Maybe I'll sell them next year.

    There is nothing like catching wild brookies in PA, probably the most rewarding part of fly fishing here. The catch at 9:50 is beautiful!

    Great video love the coachman flies. Question for you sir I ordered a custom 6ft6" 2wt rod for streams like that is that a good rod and weight to use on a native creek like that?

    Those fish were just so healthy! Naturally here in NC they don’t get quite as big, but there were a number of those fish that looked monstrous to me.

    • @bdickinson6751
      @bdickinson6751 Před 5 lety

      Nah, we Pennsylvanians resort to trick photography to make our fish look larger than they actually are. Just kidding, some of those fish were quite nice as Mike mentioned. Kind of like icing on the cake to catch one of that size, but they're all trophys in my book.

    Thanks for taking the time and effort with Project Healing Waters. They are a great organization and do wonderful work. Thanks for the cool video. Yes, getting into dry fly season. Have had good success here in the West using dry/dropper combos with parachute Adams and Klinkhammer dry and zebra midge droppers.

    Another awesome brookie adventure mike! Need to do some exploring upstate for these amazing streams! Heard a lot of good things coming from Clinton county brookie wise! Heard they get relatively big and you just catch one after another😂💯🎣 keep up the awesome work and tight lines! Not sure if I’ll be able to fish for trout this weekend or not, this rain coming Friday is going to screw everything up😭 most likely going up to Lancaster to bass fish this new pond I discovered with some big streamers! I’ll see what I can do! Maybe I can land a few bass on the streamer! Tightly lines Mike and lets pray it doesn’t rain May 19th hahaha😂😂😂
