Beautiful scenery. Looks like a great place to spend the morning fishing and the afternoon reading a good book while eating a salted trout grilling on a stick for lunch. If the water is cold enough, I'd bring a bottle of white to chill. - from Japan.
You do a great job of not spooking the fish. I don't think people realize how many more fish you can catch when the fish don't know you're there. That tiger trout you caught at 8:40 was amazing. It was 4 feet in front of you with barely moving water. Incredible! Great vid!!
Outstanding! First time I heard of tiger trout, such a magnificently beautiful fish! Unusual coloring indeed! Appears like your knocking off the counties !!
In maryland ive only ever caught one native brook trout , they stock everywhere & the rules vary from stream to stream , rainbows & golden trout . I always put them back . Not many streams as clean as those up my way.. but still alot of nice ones for bass & pan fish. .
Now that's what fly fishing is all about, back country hike nobody in sight. I used to live in Utah, some great fishing to be found if your willing to put in some miles. Tiger trout was awesome!
Hi./ I so envy you those gorgeous tiny streams. I also like the way you enjoy tour surroundings and the little fish-I get so tired of people going on and on about giant trout and other fish. I'm in Australia, so I won't be trying to horn in on your patch-but are you in Idaho or a similar state? Best wishes. :-)
I know that creek pretty well. Unfortunately those are not Bonneville cutthroat. Based on the drainage they should be Colorado River cutthroat but they're actually a Yellowstone hybrid that was stocked many years ago, so technically not native to that particular stream. Still a fun creek to fish and you can find some real hogs further upstream.
Interesting! Yes, I found out afterward that this wasn't a native BCT drainage, but I figured they'd been stocked there anyway at some point. I've caught a lot of YCT, and they all look more golden/yellow than this. But I suppose that's where the hybrid part comes in. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@TenkaraAddict I tried to submit a fish from this stream as my CR cutthroat for one of my Utah Cutthroat slam submissions but it was rejected by DWR for that reason.
Wow those are some big ones! It makes you want to keep going. Too bad you don't like the taste you have caught many of dinners. I may just follow you around sometime. lol
It looks like a wonderful early fall day in the high country! You should get yourself a pair of Smith Optics sunglasses for your eye prescription. I never liked the contact lenses.
New subscriber here. Love your channel. I'm wondering if you have been back to that stream. It is my understanding that Tiger trout are sterile which means there have to be Browns and Brookies in there. Great opportunity to get a grand slam + 1. What a gem of a stream. I fished a couple like it when I lived in Colorado but never caught a Tiger.
Interesting and enjoyable video. Where you fish is so different than what I experience over here inEngland. I'd like tio get one of your hats with the sun shade, what make is it? Thanks.
Nice video. Never tried tenkara. I prefer a reel. Don’t do to much small stream fishing though. Mainly swinging flies with a two gander or targeting selective big fish in tail waters with small dry flies.
Great vids! It would be kool if you said what fly you’re using every time, maybe even including fly changes. Im glad you usually say which rod you’re using though as I’m in the market. 😎👍👍👍
You have a bit more discipline than I do. I probably would have blown the plan off and just kept going! Love the videos, just wish you had more warm water stuff.
I prefer not to fish in the dark, do it was an easy choice to turn around. Sorry, you'll have to look elsewhere for more warm water stuff. I'm a small stream trout guy.
Nice video. I see that you needed to hike quite a distance to reach this spot. Did you hike with normal waders and wading boots? Mind sharing what you use? Thanks.
I hike in my hip waders (Chota Tundra Hippies) and lightweight wading boots (SoftScience Terrafin). More info about the gear I use is on the "Gear I Use" page on the Tenkara Addict website.
Tiger trout !!!??? I need to put that one on my bucket list...I need to know where this stream is so I can add the Tiger to my list of caught trout species...
@@TenkaraAddict I live in NW Pennsylvania and assist with the stocking locally. We put several tiger trout in every year. My understanding is that they can't reproduce since they are a hybrid but they sure are unique. I just ordered my first Tenkara rod and am anxious to put it to use
I’m not sure about the reeless fishing. Is that just something U like to do or is that a restriction for that creek? Great video and I like the way u handle and respect the fish.
What's nice about small streams like this is that people don't think there are fish there. I fish streams that are a third this size with light weight gear and have more fun than going after bigger fish on larder streams.
What is considered "small" stream? I recently fished arkansas river in colorado.....the parts i fished was about 30 ft. wide. I used fly rod but felt like i could have possibly done just as good with tenkara rod
Nice trout enjoyed the video! I need a tenkara rod very cool for small creeks. I also just started a small channel here in Utah, just not as cool as yours..haha Tight Lines🎣
Beautiful fish, the tiger trout at 9:17 was amazing! Just curious, what is the origin of those tigers? I assume stocking somewhere in the stream or drainage? Tiger trout are almost unheard of in MT because we don't stock them anywhere.
Utah stocks them pretty regularly in certain lakes. In this case, I believe they were stocked in the lake that this creek feeds into. Thanks for watching.
If I may add, Tenkara as practiced traditionally in Japan is with almost 100% wetflies. Even the stiff hackle kebari are fished wet. Why Wet primarily? Location, location, location. Japan has alot of fast flowing mountain streams. Lots of turbulance, lots of pocket water. The dry fly just wasn't practical in that environment at that time. Each fly design the Japanese have has a specific manipulation technique associated with it. Its a fascinating subject and learning the techniques has the potential of improving your catch rate exponentially.
@@arictelian ...thanks! I do a lot of Nymphing and I used to have a Tankara style ...not brand...rod. It broke and I got into Euro Nymphing. At some point I may get another Tankara style rod.
@@WildBlueDiscovery you're welcome. Tenkara is more than what it is painted as here in the States. Back in 2011 when I first heard of it, I just continued to use "western style" flies with Tenkara. Dead drift was about It wasn't until I fished with Japanese trained anglers that I finally started to realize that divorcing the rod from the flies and the flies from the techniques was only hurting my own success. It's a whole system. I encourage you to try it again.
It's called tenkara. It's a Japanese form of fly fishing made for going after trout in small mountain streams, and that's the focus of my channel. Tenkara has really only been practiced widely outside of Japan for the last decade or so. Thanks for watching.
@@TenkaraAddict Thank you for keeping the location a secret. It makes it fun to try and figure it out for me and others. People need to get out and explore on their own.
@UC6H-jR0umy_v5sfkMynB_eA Thank you for keeping the location a secret. It makes it fun to try and figure it out for me and others. People need to get out and explore on their own.
Really enjoy your videos. I usually don't offer advice, but I can't stand watching your technique for landing your fish. Either your line is too long or your stretch is too short. Gripping the line with your net hand is defeating the purpose of your flexible rod, which helps keep the hook anchored in the fish's mouth. Possibly stretching your arm and rod top way out behind you will allow a better reach. Thanks for your vlog, very enjoyable.
He has a point though. If you ever get the chance to attend the Oni School near Salt Lake City, you will see Masami does not go for his net with his left hand until the line is under control and the fish is under control in his right hand. So, for instance, when the fish is close enough to sieze the line, you make one circle swinging motion with your left arm. It automatically catches the line. The right hand now comes in to take in more line, tips of the fingers only. This allows you to release if needs be, especially on bigger fish. Once the fish is in range, and your line is in your right hand, then you move to grab your net. This is the Japanese method. Cheers.

It is plain that you are enjoying yourself ! ! ! Thanks for sharing, looks like fun... Nice place...
A lot of those beaver damns are now gone. But the river still holds nice Tigers and Cutts.
I just moved to Utah. Do you know what stream this is or it's whereabouts?
@@lifeofdanno8494 Yes, I know this stream. My suggestion is to read Flyfisher's Guide to UTAH by James B. DeMoux. Good luck!
My kind of creek right there!
Outstanding! First time I heard of tiger trout, such a magnificently beautiful fish! Unusual coloring indeed! Appears like your knocking off the counties !!
The videos are delayed a bit, I've actually finished all of the Utah counties now 👍👍
They've been stocking tigers and splake since the 1950s.
In the last scene what are the fabulous yellow bushes.small trees climbing up the hillside? Aspens? This is ravishingly beautiful countryside.

I'd rather just eat a peanut butter sandwich 😁
Do you ever keep and eat fish?
Productive little creek.
Yep, great little spot to fish
Tenkara ! I haven`t done that for long time. Great film.

That's the kind of water I fish. The trout are like 10 inches at most though. Cool vid bro
I would have been happy catching all 10 inchers in this stream too. Nothing wrong with that at all!
Now that’s an incredible stream!!!! Awesome video
Thanks!
What fly do you use the most interesting way to fly fish no reel never seen that before And do you use the telescopic rod
Wow....beautiful fish....
Thanks Allen 👍
Thats was a nice tiger trout
No prescription shades?
Awesome fish for that creek!

Love you videos man! Do you keep your line leader as long as the rod? Or longer? I can’t figure a good balance I do a lot of small streamin
Usually my line is the length of the rod, and the tippet is a few feet longer
Thanks man!
Where is this creek? Near Durango?
He said it's in Utah

No idea, sorry.
Tenkara Addict ok thanks for the response
Nice fish! That was an extremely slow moving creek.
In some places, yes. Thanks for watching.
That last cutthroat you caught looks a lot like the Westslope cutts we have here in Alberta.
I'd like to fish up there some time 👍

big valley, west elizabeth?
Huh?
your leaving with all that beautiful water in front of you 🤔

Sorry, I don't give out creek names or locations.
What county?
I don't give specifics about the streams I fish. Sorry!
Are some of those fish stocked ?
I feel like the tiger trout have to be stocked
Are you using a strike indicator?
Nope, generally a strike indicator is not used in tenkara. You basically just watch the end of the line.
Nice trout enjoyed the video! I need a tenkara rod very cool for small creeks. I also just started a small channel here in Utah, just not as cool as yours..haha Tight Lines🎣
