THE BEST FLY FISHING / TROUT FISHING VIDEO! (Best of Compilation - 2023)

This is a Best of 2023 Compilation video. I made a best of 2022 compilation last year and the video did so well I figured I'd make a second one. Thanks for all of the support in 2023!
Over the past year Andrew and I have had some incredible moments, and todays video is meant to capture a few of those moments and put them into one video. From New York to West Virginia, and all of the way out to California, this video has a little bit of everything. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for all of the support in 2023. It took me a little over 3 years to hit 10 million views and then in just one year we have 6 million and counting. You're the best!
I hope you have a happy holidays and a wonderful new year!! Lets see what 2024 brings us. #trout #troutfishing #flyfishing #fishing #outdoors #compilation

    Absolutely love Hardman Fishing Videos. The best trout catching content and honest commentary on KZread. Thank you so many times for making my hard grueling days better because at the end of the day, when I can catch you, Jon or Andrew, sharing a big brownie, rainbow, or brookie I know there's more to life than being a disabled person. I still put one foot in front of the other and get out there and fly fish, just not as often as I would like. Anyhoo, keep these coming. I'm looking forward to what y'all will do and share in 2024 and always tight lines. Tony Walkingstick

    "6 inches is average right?" @7:45, one of the funniest things ive heard you say on your videos. i do enjoy you're videos, fills the craving of fishing up here in Saskatchewan during our winters. I can only say is open water from december to early may is not a thing here.

    Really great fishing, your casting skills are fantastic, especially on that really tiny stream. I love those scenes of the countryside, America isn't all big city blocks or interstate highway. By the way in the UK a creek is a small saltwater inlet, where you were fishing are streams. Keep them coming.

I started fly fishing about four to five years ago and, in the beginning, didn’t get a chance to fly fish that much. It’s grown into an addiction, and I try to go as much as possible. Keep up the great footage. Cheers from Tennessee!

    Do you have a universal setup for a beginner? Meaning something good for multiple species and that wont fail if I catch a bigger fish arount 4 or 5 pounds? I'm located in Maine and looking to start fly fishing. I've trolled and used spinning reels for trout and salmon but I really want to get out here and take further advantage of our fly fishing-only waters this upcoming season. Any advice would help from viewers as well :) Tight lines.

    You might want to consider a 5 or 6 weight setup. Not too huge for the smaller fish but will have some extra backbone for the bigger ones.

I would never ask anyone to reveal their fishing locations, but would it be fair to say that the great winter trout fishing in this compilation is somewhere in the North Georgia mountains? Or, is it western N Carolina? Thanks!
