I gotta say, the production, the camera presence, and the info in these videos are top notch.
Thanks, Fred! So glad to hear it.
Well done guys! I live in Western North Carolina. You definitely know how to fish our small streams. I am digging the information you so kindly provided regarding how to fish a small stream. What is really cool, you know your information and you are not arrogant while sharing. Nice job!
Great job boys!! Great to see young guys fly fishing and good at it!! Love the sense of humor and adventure. Tight lines!!!
I'm still learning to fly fish, ive been fishing lakes but these videos help me so much . Thanks for sharing.
Top notch filming, top notch advice. I love small creek fishing.
Really informative, really enjoyed watching it, small stream fishing is just the best. Well done guys from the UK.
Thanks for taking the time. This info helped me a ton.
Great video! It is closer to the way I fish than anything else I have seen.
Guys I really enjoy your vids & your tips you present to your following . Well explained and right to the meat of catching . I fish the Catskills of NY btw i'm 63 years old, Keep them coming & be safe
Really a pleasure to watch, great job, guys!!!
The editing and music is awsome guys! Thanks for such good content. You guys rock!
great vid! so right on fishing the hole correctly. spot on!! thanks for sharing
Great Video, lots of useful tips, much thanks!!! 😀
Just came across this...Excellent video! Nice to have great info (speaking pace is perfect!), corresponding footage for the tips you give, beautiful footage and gentle handling of those gorgeous fish...all in one video that makes me want to get out on a stream today!😊 Well done!👍
Just subscribed and you guys have got great info and the camera work is awesome. I like seeing casting and mending and line management and how you work out the problems on the stream rather than just a fly rod bent with a fish on for most of the video! Great job!
Very insightful. Great video.
awesome info! I'm new to fly fishing and this was perfect
Awesome love it! I love using my 3 wt ultraglass for small browns!
Great Video! Looks like you guys have a lot of Fun!
Nice stuff guys. Great value in all your videos! One of the reasons we started out channel!
That was probably one of the best instructional, semi technical fly fishing videos on youtube
Adam Kenney thanks dude🤘🏻
U ever try any of the rubber stone flies
11:35 you can see the fish bolt back across the stream lol. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Great job on the video guys. Reminds me of when I flew into Bozeman and camped out on the Galitin and finished. Great memories. Now you just have to figure out how to move there
Along with everyone else. Bozeman has been ruined.
Super helpful tips about where to put the flies, and about using darker nymphs in the darker faster water where big rocks are. I also appreciate the idea of using a jig hook to bounce along the bottom. I'm always getting caught on the bottom so sort of avoid nymphing. I love small stream fishing. Thanks for a great video!
You dude's are on the game, super sick. Keep it up,
Excellent video. You have a talent for communicating. One recommendation...keep doing what ya doing!
great tips and videos. Keep it up - from South Africa
_Beautiful Fish,_ Congratulations this place is wonderful.
It seems here where I do my Fishery too. 👍🎣🐟🐠
Hug!!!
Nice combination of tips and fishing action.
Thanks Ian!
Awesome video love the channel
Great vid. Thanks for the insight 👍😎
Spot on dudes. Well good vid. Good luck from the U.K
Love catching healthy trout out of small tribs/creeks
👍
Nice technique and great explanation,
Awesome video. Use that water load cast when space is tight
Moved to NC after 28 years can’t wait to get to your area....loved fishing the White Mountains of NH and this seems similar ! Great videos love your work ....
The White Mountains rock! Such good wild trout fishing. I found one stream there with crystal clear water that flows off Mt. Washington, and the stream is filled with good sized wild rainbows.
When you head back to NH ping me and I will send you to a stream you will love !
@@kentricheson7492 k thx. Havent been in 2 years because I have been going to Cape Cod for vacation. Idk when I'll be back there, hopefully soon.
Bryce Beauparlant OK my friend I have some good stripper spots on the cape I can point you to if needed ! Brewster flats tops my list !
@@kentricheson7492 We stay in Eastham on Cooks Brook Beach, so not that far of a drive.
Hey guys love your videos! I just bought my first go pro yesterday and I’m setting off today to start a fly channel of my own up here in Canada you guys are a huge inspiration so thanks!!
Great video instantly subscribed
Love you boys!!
Great content. Done properly...subbed...
This is probably a dumb question but what kind of gear would you recommend to wade without waders
I love the tip about not setting the hook to hard! On smaller fish a hard hook set can turn the fish towards you and with a barbless hook you'll lose them every time.
Awesome video
I was looking at really nice 200 to 500 rod reel combos and I went with 100 for my first one im glad now
Make fly fishing great again☝️ i picked up one of your shirts from the shop the other day😂
Nice vid!
The 3wt Allen heritage is a fine rod. Wish they made it in a 7wt.
looks like a great stream for some Tenkara fishing...
I started tying at 8yr and have been outa the game until recently as ive begun to do hundreds of jigs for river spinning. My question is for heavily bushed creeks, I just made my first leader 5.5' for my 1wt, likely will be doing more jig/drift bottom bouncing than floating. Any advice on leader/indicator for the 1wt bush wacking rig?
I would really enjoy fishing in your company guys! It would be fun I know that! ;) Thanks for the video.
Belle vidéo...... niiiiice!!!!!!
Regards
Nice Fishing 👏
Today I caught three brook trout and a brown trout on a fly I tied myself! I never caught any fish without a guide before, or any brook trout, or on a fly I tied myself.
Sweet.
Nicely done...did I miss what size you are using on the nymphs?
Bro if you are sooo sick and very knowledgeable, if you ever come to Vancouver island bc we could do a vid together
What length rod do you prefer for that setting?
Respect that you showed us the broken-rod-moment..had the same ..twice.. was so furious with me I dont know whether I could have shown it!
Helpful af
Do you tie the flouro leader to the stimulator hook or?
killer roll cast..snatchin em out of the water!
What do you film with? Always in focus and color is great! Lens too if you can
What size chubbies and nymphs were you using?
Awesome instructional vid but suckers are actually very important for the stream they keep the water clean, put up a good fight, and should be treated just as we'll as trout
11:35
The shot of that rainbow hoofin it at top speed back to his spot
Love watching this! Very instructional. Can you tell me how far your dropper is off your dry? Thanks!
Noel Slater in the video we talk about it but it’s 20-24 inches
@@WildFlyProductions Got it. Posted my question too soon. I'll be sure to watch the whole vid from here on out before posting any questions 😊
Noel Slater haha you’re good man
Beating the brush! Curtis Creek
shhh
Small streams are the best!
naw big rivers rule. 10k cfs + west coast style
Esibnitsud I have a hard time believing you’ve had some GOOD small stream fishing. I was in the mountains the other day and caught a 90 trout in a few hours. All put up a good fight on a 2 wt and all were natives with beautiful colors.
@@zeroedinwithzeke4059 lol u can believe whatever u want ive caught 15lb bulls in streams as small as the one he fishing plus i liv in mountain cutthroat stream meca for native westslopes
Great video. What is the make(s) of your equipment? The water up here in north Jersey is getting a bit low now. Thanks for the tips!
If you’re asking about the rod, we were fishing an Allen 3 wt...not sure the exact rod though
Do you got any tips for fly fishing Asheville ?
What counties do you guys prefer?
Jackson County is a fun place to play.
Love the videos guys, great footage. Nice brown trout, oh I mean suck lol 😂😆
Awesome video! And you sir, are a bonefied fin-pincher
What kind of pants do u wear in the summer when u go fishing in the streams?
isaac kogure I wear the Aftco original fishing pants and absolutely love them! Super light weight and they dry very quickly
When would you use a dry/dropper vs an indicator/nymph rig?
Ryan The Rock in smaller creeks like this that aren’t as deep. If you find a super deep run and you don’t see any dry fly activity, then put on a nymph rig and fish it to get your bugs down deep.
Hey guys, what size is that Frenchie? 14ish?
I been catching tons of trout wit the zebra nymph. # 20, #18
Fantastic content. Seems like you guys are using Allen rods/reels? How do you like them?
Rod: Allen Heritage 7 foot 6 inch, 3 weight
Reel: Redington rise
Both rod and reel are absolutly phenomenal. The Allen rod is the best small stream rod I have come across and the price point is very affordable. The reel has been fished for 4 seasons now and is still working in great shape. I'd highly recommend allen rods/reels, if you are interested in any of there products feel free to come by Due South Outfitters and give em a test drive!
What weight of rods are those? I’m guessing 4 or lower
Do you think i could get away with a shorter leader in a tight stream?
Yes definitely, you only need a 7 foot leader for a smaller stream
Are there any good places to fish close to Hot Springs N.C.? I have fishing the French Broad for smallies, but I was wanting some trout.
Check your dnr site or go up state wv or va for good trout streams
From my own experience and from what I've understood from talking with people in the industry flourocarbon tippet holds no significant advantage in visibility to fish. The reason why fluro may be better for nymphing is because it sinks faster and offers more abrasion resistance.
loving your videos. what wt and rod length are you using?
He said it in an older video, 7’6”4wt Orvis Superfine carbon with a 4wt orvis hydros reel
🇧🇻Nice, video 🇺🇲
Ever notice how fly fishers do this weird arm WAY up in the air when they catch a fish to avoid pulling the tapered leader though the tip guide? We hate trying to get the junction between leader and line through that guide so much we'd rather ram our rod tip into the trees than fk with getting the leader loop or nail not through that guide lol.
What is the fly rod type, wt and number of ounces of the fly rod? Enjoyed your video.
Lor Swanson an Allen 3 wt. not sure the exact rod but I know they just discontinued Allen rods
Great tips and fishing. One little tip though on your roll cast, you are kinda just slamming your rod down. Try to get a nice D behind you and then do a rod stop at release like you do with your normal cast
16:25 totally got a tinder match notification haha
Good video, but word of advice try wet hands before handling trout, as it destroyers protective coating, leading to disease. 👍
Whats the shop called again?? I’ll be in boon in a couple weeks and would love to stop by
Due South Outfitters!
@@WildFlyProductions Best shop in the high country.
My biggest brook was 7lbs. Out of a river
What weight and length fly rod do you typically fish in these type streams?
Usually 1-4
At 5:06 Stream is close to human habitats
How do you notice the bite so fast? Pls reply kr
Anytime you see your dry fly no matter what kind it may be make any movement out of the normal drift even if it just barely "bobs" on the surface, set the hook. That indicates that a fish has taken the dropper. If a fish eats the dry fly off the top, set as well. Hook sets are free my friend!
Are you fishing a 3WT rod?
yessir
@@WildFlyProductions What reel are you fishing on that 3 wt? Thx in advance! Big fan of the videos!
@@WildFlyProductions which length is the rod?
Is that trout at 2:05 a brookie?
Nope its a brown
Great video. That rod snapping almost made me sick. If you aren't catching trees or snagging you ain't fishing.
projectpat0 haha amen
I think your net is too small
15 16 inch ????? Lol been there looked like maybe a 12 inch sucker
What is a "chubby" fly? All the young guys seem to be fishing them. I've never heard of one in my 30+ years of fishing
