After a few hours on the water I sound like a crazy person sometimes 😂

Couldn't help thinking about this song by Michael Murphey when you were talking to or about the fish. "Because he called the forest brother Because he called the earth his mother They drove him out into the rain And some people even said That the boy from the country was insane Because he spoke with fish in the creek He tried to tell us that the animals could speak And who knows, maybe they do Hey, how do you know they don't Just because they've never spoken to you" John Denver also sang it very well. Congrats on some awesome trout fishing....and talking. Great video!

You make the best fishing videos I've seen. You have a nack for putting us right there in the stream, where we'd all love to be. Beautiful country, beautiful fish, great videos. I'm hitting the river this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!

The slow motion on that first fish was sick!! You could see him come up and nail it. Really cool to watch

Another fantastic job. Beautiful video and amazing fish. Keep ‘‘em coming. Can’t wait for the next one. Well done.

I really enjoy your vids. I'd love you to do a tutorial on streamer fishing, particularly the type of leaders you use with different types of flies ( and lines ). I'd been fishing dries and dry droppers for years and years and really want to give it a go but it seems like a different world.

It is. You can use a floating line and a regular 6-7 wt rod like he does in his videos. That works good for smaller slower water. And some people like that for big rivers also but I personally fish a sinking line in bigger/deeper water. And you can fish weighted and un weighted streamers with the float line. But once again I personally like the sinking line. Then just start playing with it takes a little doing to really learn but you just want to make that minnow look real and like it’s moving from fast water to cover or slower water. Then when the train hits the hook will be set so hold on! I KZread’s how to set up a streamer rod when I got started. Fist day streamer fishing the whole day I netted 12 browns and 2 lake trout.

Well done.Going to try big streamer fishing.

Fantastic Jonathan, thanks so much.

"not a giant" all of those would be my pb 🤣

Stunning brown trout like the ones in Scotland 🐟🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

Respect, you seem to really appreciate those fish and your fisherie , just by the way you handle them and get them back into the river. Hope for the future. Great fun .

Beautiful water and fish.

Chill bro...chill. Lol, love your content.

Quick tip, measure your pinky tip to your thumb tip spread out all the way and measure, that will always give you a base size to go off Helps when you want quick release👍😉

You did a great job side arming him. I would advise walking him into the slack water, simply by walking to shore. Best chance of him not getting away, and also a safe spot to land and photograph. The swift current works against you. Just finesse them towards the shore.

Could you explain streamer fishing in more depth, like when to use them, where etc.

@clammerify

Жыл бұрын

You use streamers to target and pick out the BIG fish. Fishing streamers tends to pick out the 16" + fish consistently since they become piscivorous (other fish as main food source - what you are imitating with streamers. You can fish streamers in ALL conditions and at ALL times but the best conditions are during cloudy/rainy/overcast days and especially good if these days are coupled with brown/high/dirty water and dusk/dawn and night time. Why you ask? It is the best chance that a big predatory brown has to nail baitfish etc since the visibility is low and they can ambush them. Low light + cloudy water - well the prey can't seem them coming.

What rod/reel were you using

Hi, great video! Very interested in the black pattern you had the fish on that came up and took it near the surface next to the rock. Is it your own tie?

Nice looking water and great fish. What line are you using on your rod?

nice session thanx for sharing! what is the name of that streamer pattern Please?
