When I see that classic intro, I know for certain there's about to be some good old-fashioned fishin' about to happen! Never disappointed. Beautiful stream, too!
I live in south Alabama and feel the same! Hopefully this young generation takes care of it!! I can go down a little creek and catch more than I can eat for a while!!!
I caught bigbass on Cicadas also caught and 10 and half to 11 inche bulegill on Cicadas big catfish big crappie trout everything on Cicadas .Cicadas are good bite there in North Carolina too.
@14:32, I am no fish expert was just doing a little internet searching came up with possibly a Appalachian brook trout or Char. What a beautiful awesome place to fish!!!!
We were just sightseeing around Santeetlah a few weeks ago...we took the Cherohala and drove up the road that runs beside the Cheoha to 129 and then went to Fontana and looked around before heading to Cherokee and then through the Smokies back home to Kentucky...beautiful area...and we only scratched the surface of all the beautiful places in western NC.
As a kid, my first in-line spinnerbait was a Shyster. I just checked and Luhr-Jensen still makes them. I caught lots of fish on those lures. I like Rooster Tails and Blue Fox Vibra max work well also. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day!
WOW! A fresh water fishermans dream! beautiful, quiet spot, and you never know what you are going to hook. And warm water and cold water species in the same spot. Just doesnt happen very often. Thanks for sharing!
Ah...........memories. I was a rock hopping small stream fisherman most of my life in the northern Rockies. No more. I have trouble just walking across the room. But I love your obvious enjoyment in discovery, especially since you are obviously a sportsman, not just a "bigger, faster, louder" Bass Pro type of person.
Rock bass are very underrated fish. They put up a good little fight for their size. And they're tasty when you cook them. Got some big ones up in lake Erie. 1, 1 1 / 2, even 2 Pounders. Another beautiful spot John you can pick them God can make them.
I'm 75, and my first spinner was a rooster tail. Then I got infatuated with worms and plugs. Use a larger Roostertail, and you eliminate many of the smaller fish.
I’m obsessed with inline spinner fishing 😂❤this coming winter I’m going to buy the kits and make my own custom inline spinners with single hooks for days I don’t plan on keeping fish. Then I’ll have my spinners with trebles for when I want to keep what I catch. beautiful catches! Keep up the great work 👍
Most of these dams were built during the great depression. A lot of it with steam shovels, donkeys. Concrete made on site, communities sprouted up around the dams.
Nice video John, those trout are coming up from the bigger river down stream and the same stream farther down. as the water gets hotter they want to be where it is oxgenated more.
Time to eliminate old dams. Living here in New England we have remove quite a few small dams to allow a bigger fish migration. At other dams they have built fish ways. In Turner Falls, Mass there are viewing windows in a building below the surface of the water and the fish swimming by is amazing, stripped bass , shad ,trout eels and others , They have cameras that record the types of fish and it listed every day. The viewing is only open from Mothers Day till Fathers Day. They have one also in Holyoke,Mass also. Check them out if you’re ever up that way also the Fish Hatchery in Sunderland,Mass is a nice place to visit they have just trout and big breeder ones to. Thanks for showing your hook ups.
The 1st trout you caught...might have been a german brown! The 2nd larger one looked like a hold over rainbow that came from up stream! But wow what a honey hole! Rock, small and large mouth PLUS trout!? I'd never leave... Btw...a fly rod would KILL in that spot! Great catches nonetheless!
I know where you were fishing and I believe the trout did spill over from the lake. They are lake bred wild rainbows known as stealhead. I know some giant ones come up the rivers on the other side of the lake in December to spawn..Here in the midwest winter stealhead fishing is prized on the Great Lakes.
Shorts? Shorts? What, they don’t have Poison Ivy where you’re at? Lol. Don’t tell me you’re immune. Sending out thanks for another great video and a case of Calamine Lotion, ya gonna need an ocean!
Gorgeous North Carolina! Now that’s my kind of fishing! That’s one of the coolest old dams I’ve ever seen.
When I see that classic intro, I know for certain there's about to be some good old-fashioned fishin' about to happen! Never disappointed. Beautiful stream, too!
Exactly!
Best intro all time!
My state ! Lots of fish everywhere; mountains, central part, and coast. I’m so blessed to have called it my home for these 66 years.
Where are you may I ask ?
I live in south Alabama and feel the same! Hopefully this young generation takes care of it!! I can go down a little creek and catch more than I can eat for a while!!!
You hardly see trout in these creeks but every once in a while you’ll get one. Good to see them biting in a healthy stream.
What a wonderful and beautiful place to fish...wow.
Awesome adventure John thanks again for taking us along. 😎
John you manage to find some of the most beautiful places to fish. Love watching your videos keep up the good work 👍

Great video John. Looks like the trout you caught looked like they were stocked.
You always have the best underwater footage.
That looked awesome and near campsites...fun all the way round.
Great video. Beautiful scenery. Like the intro. You make the best videos. Thanks for sharing
The fox line spinners are hot. That's a nice secluded fishing hole too.
Used to love catching rock bass and green sunfish in a local creek.
WOW! A fresh water fishermans dream! beautiful, quiet spot, and you never know what you are going to hook. And warm water and cold water species in the same spot. Just doesnt happen very often. Thanks for sharing!
Truly unbelievable opportunity, wow! Thank you! 🙏

wow id love to get a 2lb rock bass
@@CreekFishingAdventures Lake Erie put in Bay.
I've been catching catfish on a rooster tail this week.
I love using Worden's Rooster Tail lures.
An awesome thing is when you can't see any water but you know you are headed in the right direction by the sound!
That trout!
Beautiful stream! Sweet fishing!
I'm 75, and my first spinner was a rooster tail. Then I got infatuated with worms and plugs. Use a larger Roostertail, and you eliminate many of the smaller fish.
Nice trout, I use roostertails as well great lures👍
This video made me hungry😂. Rock bass are very tasty to eat.
Nothing much else to say . This was just beautiful .
If you see the classic intro you can count on the video being an absolute banger, and of course, we were not disappointed!
What a great time fishing! blessings!

YES, YES, YES... Love the opening clip 8-)
Vintage intro! 👍
Let's go!!!!! Appreciate all that you do Jon!!
What an awesome spot to explore, I like seeing the old intro again. ❤
Thanks so much
Great video and a beautiful place to be fishing
Most of these dams were built during the great depression. A lot of it with steam shovels, donkeys. Concrete made on site, communities sprouted up around the dams.
dang looked like you went through a beautiful patch of poison ivy! I hope that wasn't the case.
Wait is it rare to no get affected by it cause i don’t
gotta love that TFO rod I have a 7'2" light
I've done a bit of creek fishing around here, too.
Man what a beautiful place to fish!
Nice video John, those trout are coming up from the bigger river down stream and the same stream farther down. as the water gets hotter they want to be where it is oxgenated more.
Love you videos. Little of everything on this one.
God bless
Great fishing videos, I did not like catching small fish changed my mind after watching you enjoy catching them.
I love catching rock bass lol they are a blast
What a setting!
We call those rock bass, goggle eyes..fyi.. good vid
Nice I wish they made lures with barb less hook design too.hook in those Kentish with tiny mouths UT we be better for them too
Best intro on youtube. I love that fish. Needs a name
the mean greenie

Dang it! I was just up there! I shoulda got the license. I always have the rooster tails handy.
I remember I subbed to your channel when had I think 5000 subs you been growing good keep up the good work be blessed
Appreciate it
Awesome man
I used to catch rock bass as a kid, good eating.
my favorite go to for rock bass and smaller fish is a white with red eyes jig with a two inch white with red tail mister twister
The trout are probably stocked there. The small streams hold native trout.
I would love to see you come to Ohio and fish our creeks. Some of the best I know of. 5 and 6 lbs occasionally and 2to3 lbs quite often
I'm talking smallmouth
Which section of Ohio are you fishing?
@@justinnewton2283 Butler and Preble county
John, what length is that Rod? And what's your fave overall UltraLight Rod length and why?
Jogas iscas fora no rio, principalmente com o anzol (10:10) pode fazer algum peixe comer e morrer. Levar para casa e jogar no lixo é a melhor opção.
The 1st trout you caught...might have been a german brown! The 2nd larger one looked like a hold over rainbow that came from up stream! But wow what a honey hole! Rock, small and large mouth PLUS trout!? I'd never leave...
Btw...a fly rod would KILL in that spot! Great catches nonetheless!
I liked your video wasn't expecting the let's call it "positive message" at the end.
Does the state clip a fin on stocked trout to help identify them from non stocked trout.
I know where you were fishing and I believe the trout did spill over from the lake. They are lake bred wild rainbows known as stealhead. I know some giant ones come up the rivers on the other side of the lake in December to spawn..Here in the midwest winter stealhead fishing is prized on the Great Lakes.
oh ok thanks
Steelhead 😂
Theses guys are excited about catching minnows.😂
Santleetah has steelhead. Very well could have been one!
I wish a place like this existed near me, unfortunately im in the riverlands of western kentucky, so its all muddy deep water.
The Roostertail is a fish getter. Always have to careful with snagging them. Lost quite a few that way.
Luv rock bass good fight. Tasty
Cool vid
Nothing like getting
Loaded with ticks and chiggers and maybe snake bit the fishing would really have to be good for me to go through all that
I’m getting my NC license and we are going there 😂
lets do it
I've never seen a rock bass that big
I would have been the one looking for snake and fishing 😂 paranoid beautiful place
What brand Rooster tail/ color did you use?
After you post this video that grown up trail gonna look like a 4 lane highway. lol
Haha.maybe it will be cleared out for the next time
Great video friend 👍stay connected
Shorts? Shorts? What, they don’t have Poison Ivy where you’re at? Lol. Don’t tell me you’re immune. Sending out thanks for another great video and a case of Calamine Lotion, ya gonna need an ocean!
Apparently they don’t have poison ivy, chiggers, or ticks lol
You should fish Oklahoma brother.
Poison Ivy? Good video. Fontana?
I got tired, just watching all that action
I could be there all day and just take it in. Beautiful thank you Heavenly Father
Another great video I can’t catch anything on one to save my life
How tasty are these Rock Bass?
Those look like steelhead
One of my favorite places to fish is under a dam, but sadly it is on private property. :(
