Spring Fly Fishing an Incredible Small Creek! (Native Brook Trout)

FLY FISHING AN INCREDIBLE CREEK FOR AN INCREDIBLE FISH!
Native brook trout are native throughout the eastern US and the driftless region... they're the state fish of multiple states and one of my favorite trout to chase on the fly! In today's video I went fly fishing in one of my favorite little creeks to chase down some of these Appalachian treasures.
I had a short hike in to where I wanted to fish and the water levels were perfect. I started off by throwing a dry fly which performed well. After a little dry spell I decided to try and throw a small streamer and see if I couldn't catch a slightly larger trout. After fishing a handful of good holes with my streamer I was able to catch a few beautiful native brookies, fish anyone would be proud to catch!
I hope you enjoyed this no music video! Subscribe if you haven't already!

    The most beautiful fish in the world! Too bad you didn't land that really nice looking colored one in the 1st big pool. Hopefully another trip to that stream will rectify that. Another great video Johnathon!

    If you ever travel to another state, you should go to Utah and do the Utah cutthroat slam! There are 4 species of trout you need to catch. Such as the bonniville cutthroat, Yellowstone cutthroat, Colorado cutthroat and the bear river cutthroat! You can go to the website and it will show you a map. I don’t know just spitting an idea if your interested and would be a fun vid to watch and the fishing is great

    Great video. I had a quick question for you or anyone in the comments. I recently got into euro nymphing and have been having trouble with my line tangling when using a two nymph setup like the ones you use in your videos. How do you recommend I prevent this from happening? Can I set the nymphs up in parallel or would that prevent a lot of strikes from occuring?

    That was just an accident, I've noticed it happens when I'm walking and casting or just in a hurry. If I'm nymphing or dry fly fishing I notice it quickly, but with streamers I don't tend to notice it. It always annoys me when I got back to edit the footage LOL

    I used to do more of that living in New England, that is before the ticks became unbearable. This time of year you’ll have barely visible nymphs climbing up all over you and I don’t care too much for having to use DEET and Permethrin all the time.
