Fly Fishing Wild River Trout (Broken Rod - No Problem!!)
Спорт
Went up to the Tellico area to do some trout fishing. This creek runs into the Tellico river. Took a little while to get it dialed in then i broke my fly rod, but it didn't stop me from catching some beautiful wild rainbow trout.

You know why this channel is good? The reason is John is obviously a good, down to earth regular guy we all can relate to.

I loved the sound of that water when this video first started. I think that's one reason that creek fishing is so relaxing. That wonderful water music. Happy fishing.
“Don’t be dumb”. Words to live by.
I got a reddington 9-foot rod and now that I have been fly fishing for a couple years now I’ve been enjoying it more and more. I find fishing these small creeks and catching these small trout peaceful.
You make fly fishing actually look like fun! Keep on fishin!!
What a beautiful place to fish. Ugly stick needs to make a nice 3 wt. Good job with the wild rainbows especially with a broken rod.

Broke my heart seeing you use an indicator on that trib. Dry/dropper please! Haha. I love that area. I used to drive 2x a week from chickamauga to fish up there.
I remember closing the window in my GMC Jimmie back in the day on a brand new spinning rod I ordered from Cabelas. This was around 1990 when it took a long time to get stuff. It really sucked.

That is how I grew up fishing little creeks in the woods full of little wild trout, love it
Amazing creek , water looked great . Loved it .
Hey Brother, I’ve been enjoying your channel for a while. Great stuff. I’m a fly fisher by nature but you have cast a spell and I’ve taken to hitting local creeks in GA with light spin gear. You are a hard working man. I’m glad you where able to go at this full time. I wish you all the success in the world! Signed: The Snail

Pretty place good day on the water. Way to improvise with the rod. Awesome video brother. God bless.
Heat shrink tubing and a little thicker carbon tube may help you with broken tipps. Pretty little trouts and a beautifull creek.

All the scenery there looked like it could have been an oil painting 🖼!
Pretty nice trout, particularly with a broken rod. A few years ago, my daughter and I were fishing the upper reaches of the West Prong Little Pigeon in GSMNP, when a thunderstorm came up - had a lightning bolt strike 30 feet from me. I could see my car from the stream, but in between my car and there was a solid bank of rhododendron - toughest plant alive. When I emerged from the rhodo, my 4 piece 2wt had turned into a 1 piece. That's why I love Tenkara so much - you can collapse the rod down to almost nothing....looks like you found the trout no problem with that nymph; the general rule of thumb is to fish where the fast water meets the slow water, in the 'seams'.
I went to get dinner with my wife and looked at a truck parked in the median here in Texas. A guy and his kid got out and got poles, headed down to the creek. I thought “ya they been watching the same stuff I have” that’s good stuff! Nature blesses us with opportunity to enjoy, even as concrete closes in.
Well your diet is looking a little better with the granola bars instead of a bag of chips.. Lol.. Beautiful video brother 😎👍

This video took me back to when I was a kid spending summers at my grandparents in north central Pennsylvania. We spent our days chasing native trout in the mountain creeks. Great video

Heck yeah bud. That's awesome. Such beautiful rainbows. Glad you had a great day even with a broken rod.🤙
That IS a nice Rainbow. If those are all local and not released that that's a very healthy stream. Congrats. The only trout fishing I've ever done was in Upper State NY. right outside of Blue Ridge. Caught a bunch of Brook Trout all about the same size of the larger ones you were catching. Lots of fun. I have no idea if the fish were stocked or not. It was a much smaller stream up in the mountains were I was. It's not about size.
Fun fishing 🎣👍👏
I went out of SF on a salmon fishing party boat. I picked up a rod to use and didn’t notice the tip was broken off. With Thai broken rod, I caught 7 salmon (limit was 2) with the extra fish going to those who didn’t catch limits. To top it off, I caught big fish and won $76.00 from the pool! So, broken rods do not always spoil the fishing!!!

There is nothing that says flies have to be made of thread and roadkill. Small plastics will work too.
Wow that really sucks about your rod. Glad that didnt stop you from catching them though. I wanted to try fly fishing out a couple of years ago so I ordered an eagle claw 6.6 ft fly rod. I wanted something shorter for creek fishing. It's really fun to fight big bluegill on it. 👊👍

Fly Fishing for Bass and Bluegills is great.You get more bites than you do with Spinning Tackle,at least that was my experience and it's a lot of fun to fight them on the Fly Rod.

love me some tellico river .when i was young id try to fish ,and it got to where everytime id stop at a spot ,there wuld a snake . they terrify me. i hate that about myself, but it is what it is . beautiful tho.
don't be afraid to flash some new equipment - some of it could be good - perfect place for ultralight and the hellgramite - fly fishing is for the dogs - generally - good to go for new species new places - stay in the mountains during the summer #cheerwine

Tip for the day, to catch trout you must first break your rod.
pretty fish.

nice video bro
I took a trip to South Caicos Island and broke my 8 wt bonefish rod..... I patched it up using a section on hangar wire inside and a pen casing outside with a LOT of electrical tape.... It held together just enough to let me catch about 2 dozen more fish before really disintegrating....

PSA - the most important tool that you can have at this time of the year is a stream thermometer. Catching trout in water temps over 70 will kill them; high 60’s is borderline.

Lack of dissolved oxygen in the water leads to asphyxiation, usually in about 2 hours. As a cold water fish, trout are already under stress from warm water temperatures. Combine that with the stress and the exertion of energy in being caught, the trout can not extract enough oxygen from the water to recover. Studies have shown that this occurs when water temps are consistently 70 or above.

Been up to Bald river falls a few times.... absolutely beautiful... I’ve been meaning to fly fish there but never seem to get time... I have property in Philidelpha TN and spend a lot of time there ... exploring and checking out fishing spots. You should try Ft Loudon dam come the fall and try for the stripers that run...
