Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!! - กีฬา

The excitement in your voice had me excited and I’m sitting at a damn desk.
Lol - love that :))
Same bro
Magical
DIAPER CHANGE INCOMING
I’m sitting on the toilet and I’m excited
Love it!!!!! That first second you realize you are outgunned and going to have to use some skill to land that beast. Well done, Sir! What rig were you using ?
Well put! I was fortunate to get that guy in the net - strong fish!! I was using a large brown TJ Hooker stonefly nymph.
Can you catch fish using out of season flies? Or will the fish just pass them up?
Also beautiful fish.
@@stephenburdess2914 Generally speaking you will have better "luck" so to speak, if you use "in-season" flies. However, it also depends on the water temperature, time of day and color/ type of water you are fishing in.
@@randyherringshaw6325 ugh lol. So many variables with fly-fishing. Lol. I'll have to keep researching thanks for the quick reply.

Giant cut man! When you were talking about the 3x and 4x i was thinking about how badly i’d be screwed with 6x and 7x😂
I was definitely happy to have heavier tippet on this day for sure :))
Play it right, you'll land it. I use 5-6
I live in PA too, 6x is pretty standard!!
😳😅
I'm new to this sport. Can you explain why 6x and 7x would be bad?
On the flip side every fisherman’s nightmare: Gets it to the net and line breaks right when you’re about to net him
That would be a nightmare!
Meh. If you're gonna release 'em, then close is close enough.
@@jacobmccandles1767 so leave the hook in their mouth…yeah ok
@@TeMeister well, no....and yes. Fish come off of hooks, but it's fishermen that break lines. But then a fish with a hook that will rust out is often betternoff than one that is played to exhaustion and handled.
You know all this though.
@@jacobmccandles1767 Tetnis?
That emotion, adrenaline and self satisfaction is why I love fishing. Plus the easy meals.
You got that right! Well said :))
Man, I am always in awe watching people fish with fly rods. Amazing
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for taking the time to watch. Cheers!
Awesome! Was worried for about 3 seconds there in the net, but great job!
Thanks!! Me too - I was like OH NO!!! •whew•
Same! I thought that mf was about to make a great escape!
@@FlyFishDan Almost too slow with the net. Lift him out so he doesn't tail walk out of it when there's water still under him. Glad to see you got him up on the reel to play him. I've seen too many anglers try to strip the fish in with their hand on the fly line. Good job!
I have not been fly fishing for long, only one or two years, but videos like this is what got me to start.
Good stuff :))
I'm so please for you Brother, not because you caught a big fish but because you're happy and enjoying life! 👍
You got that right! Thanks for saying that - cheers!
Once caught a 16.5 lb. Hen Brown trout in the Cumberland river below Wolf Creek Dam in Kentucky on a spinning rod using 6 lb test line. She was release unharmed. I only kept the memory.
What a great memory that was!
Strong fish strong current=great fight. What a cutbow trout! Keep up the great fishing
Thanks for watching - I do appreciate it!
@@FlyFishDan Of course, anything to brighten another fisherman’s day!
Nice catch ! Beautiful fish ! Did you release it ?
👍 🇨🇦 ✌️
Yup! I let this big guy go to fight on another day. Here is the full vid: th-cam.com/video/31IqIrxztLo/w-d-xo.html
Was that a trout? Biggest damn trout I have even seen.
Yup! He was a big westslope cutthroat trout. So good!
@@FlyFishDan i bet it makes an awesome smoked fish dip
You know when you say “ooosh” you have a lunker 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly :))
Other fly fisherman watching this right now.😮😮😮💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Hope you honored him with a full pardon.
Oh I did! Here's proof: th-cam.com/video/tbeSi6Ele5I/w-d-xo.html
I would have honored him with a full skillet.
@@rubenllerena1767 that got me 🤣
How on earth is it to dream about this when i cannot even sleep thinking about the excitement?im totally going fishing tomorrow man 😄😄😄
how did it go?
Nothing beats hooking in to one and immediately realizing you didn’t come prepared for the one on the other end lol
Love that feeling :))
Congrats , perfect land
Have to love the slow motion :)). Thank you!
That’s normal sized trout where i live
Nice! Not too often you catch one like this in WA
Heaven?
@@marksmith161 close as it gets on earth :))
Nice cuttie! Ide be so scared of the tippet snapping, 4x is like 6lb test if I remember right. I usually run 5x, but I'm in NC where we don't really get many donkeys
I was sweating this one for sure - she held tight!
@@FlyFishDan
Dan,. Where were you fishing ?...
Beautiful Cutthroat... Monster
I've landed 20"+ on 6x. Really helps to have a rod with a sensitive tip that protects tippet well. Always fun though when they decide to bolt into some strong current and test your drag.
Big Fish: *Alright guys same time tomorrow? Haha okay, 😯 ooh look a yummy sna-*
Big fish
Strong fish
Really big fish
Look at that fish
Made my day that did 🤣🤣
Nice! Thanks Daniel for the great comments. Cheers!
@@FlyFishDan you are naturally funny and brightened up my day. Cheers!
Monster Cutty!
So good :))
I wish we had more cutthroat in my river, their far and few in between, mostly hybrids.
They are tough to find for sure. Thank you for taking the time to watch, I do appreciate it!
Overpopulated
Him "how canadian do I want this"
Camera "90% buddy"
Him " OK, I wo t say sorry for catching him buddy" 🤣🤣
Lol - thank you for the comments and for watching! Cheers!
I love your excitement! Awesome catch you deserved it! 👍
Love rainbow trout.. frying pan, salt and butter. 🧈 😋
That does sound good - I let this one go to fight another day :))
Pretty sure that’s a cut
@@christianmartinez3461 🎯
@@FlyFishDan YOU LET THAT GO??? I could never do that to a trout that size
I don't think i could keep a fattie like that one. I catch 10-30 a day at my local area but those are around 1 lb if that. I have to go to Pyramid lake where they are 8lb minimum and up to 30 lbs.
I love this, the scenery is so beautiful, your rod, the net, and especially the fish. All so beautiful. Where is this?
Thank you Matthew! It's in Washington State - some amazing rivers and streams in the Cascades.
Freekin AWESOME. I've trout fished in East Tn my entire life.. It's one of the best fish imo. Congratulations on a nice catch and thanks for sharing
Awesome! Thank you!
I had the honor to watch a 40 inch brown hooked and landed on a fly.
Been wanting to learn it ever since!
Wow...I can't even imagine something that big. Crazy!
@@FlyFishDanthe belly on it made me think of a big ol fat catfish
That brought back good memories 🤗 thank you so much 🥰
Thanks Brian! My pleasure :))
Absolutely great feeling!
So good :))
I thought that was a salmon at first lol
He was hefty for sure :)) Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful river ❤
That one looks like a Derby winner
I think you are right...if it was a derby, I landed first place on this day :))
Just broke the tip of my fly rod so that means no fishing for 3 weeks till its repaired
NOOOOOO!!! Sorry to hear that!
Amazing fish Dan
I watch your videos to take tips from so I can improve on my fly fishing
Thank you! I am super happy to hear that, glad to help in any way I can. Cheers!
If you ever go to alberta fishing, dolberg lake is full of 8+ lb trout. No boat motors , no bait. Fly fisherman dream with belly boat. Seen an old guy catch a 15lb rainbow.
When you said big big fish I instantly thought of John candy saying “big bear! Big big bear” hahaha!
I felt that hook-up
That's awesome - thanks for the great comment!
Landed 40 pound carp on a 6 pound line while I was standing on a waterfall, and the only way to get out , was I had to jump up to a ledge 9 feet high, while holding onto my rod with my mouth , praying to god my line doesn’t snap and that my size #8 hooks stays in him. it took 1 1/2hours to tire him out, I was numb 30 minutes in.
Gave him to local Chinese store for free food 🤣
Yessir! That’s definitely my dream!
I'm with ya there!
We both said “holy crap!” at the same time lol
The look on the fishes face when you caught it 🗿
Nice one
Thanks!
We’d catch about 4-5 of those whenever we went fishing in the mountains in Oregon
Love that!
As an Italian coastline fisherman, WTH IS THAT ROD 😂
That my friend is a fly rod; Sage TCR series to be exact with Orvis Battenkill Large Arbor fly reel. Good stuff!
@@FlyFishDan thanks! I've never seen something like that here. Most of us use bait instead of lures, and way longer rods😆
I hope someone knows that this video suspiciously looks like fishing planet
Well...I suppose it's my fishing planet? All the same - it's definitely original content.
Damn Dan! You’re videos get better and better brother. You inspire me to keep learning this hobby
Very kind of you to say Shawn, thank you! Glad to have you here - Cheers!
nice Oncorhynchus Clarkii great landing!!
I had to Google that! Lol ...thank you and great comments!
Say it with me Dan...
."Oooholyshiiiit that's a big fish"
Dat a boy!
The fake drag thing was funny😂
One of my biggest regrets is leaving Colorado before I learned how to fly fish. Ik its it not the only place to do it but its definitely where I want to personally 😭
I'm with ya there! Colorado is pretty amazing for sure.
Love it! Omg I miss the salmon fly hatch in Montana.
Thanks! Me too!
I love it when you get that first hard strike
My biggest trout ever was slightly over 23 pounds , I know the feeling .
Wow!
Wow now thats a catch of the day. Lunch sorted for the week.
I let this guy go to fight another day :))
@@FlyFishDan even better glad you did. So big and colourful
POV: when you think the fish is big but it's even bigger than expected.
So good! :))
I had the same excitement fly fishing in a float tube and the fish was moving me. Ill never forget the feeling, its great once in a life some times. enjoy it
Wow. That's a giant. A giant rainbow trout that is!!
Thank you! He was a big ol westslope cutthroat trout, thanks for watching!
Amazing!! I caught myself yelling “lift your net”, lol!!
You and me both!
It actually looks like a dream
It was a good day indeed :))
Oh my god that’s the biggest fish I’ve ever seen
He was a TANK!
Madison River, Yellowstone Park in October. You can catch 30 a day of those and bigger. Two weighted prince nymphs 18-20” apart on #8 hooks, 7 weight rod.
That sounds good to me - I am ready to go to Montana!
For some reason i was imagining a bigger fish
Yes, I'm spoiled living in Alaska. An 8wt rod bends like you can't believe when you get a 11 lb Silver hooked. Get up here and experience it. Every fish you will catch will be that size and then some!! We think of fishing for trout as boring. Great fish my friend.
Thank you for your kind words - I do appreciate it! I do need to get to Alaska soon!
@@FlyFishDan Plan to go to Soldatna, AK in mid May-Mid July. It's the hub of the best fishing in the world and the Kenai River flows right through it. Other world famous rivers like the Russian River and Kasilof are less than an hour away. We have a technique called "flipping" which targets Sockeye. I've seen nothing but fins across the river as they head up stream along the banks 15 feet from shore. We have a run of 110K in a day!! Yes, we are salmon snobs here for good reason. Catching the limit of 6 when they change it can be done in less than an hour and half on peak days. I've seen proxy fisherman for older people leave with 24 in 6 hours. We live for fishing here and we love sharing the experience and our Alaskan techniques they don't use in the "outside" with the outsiders. Best part? You can fish until dawn if you want, and die hard fisherman DO. Catch your limit, clean, fillet, put in gallon zip lock bags, stuff in your backpack and head downstream a 1/2 mile and do it all over again. Cleaned and fillet fish don't count as a fish in possession up here. Just 3 days of hard core fishing this way and you will come home with enough fish to pay for half your trip and the memories will have you coming back every year for more. The strange thing is catching these things don't excite locals as 7 lb salmon are so common. You only see excitement out of most locals if they hook into a big King. Two years ago I was with a buddy that hooked into a beast.....we had to chase it on the Zodiak from the island beach. Better set your drag right or you will burn your hand. Catch a few on a fly rod and you too will look at trout fishing as boring, but fun. And yeah, catching a King on a fly rod is mad fun!! We don't use spinning rods up here for the most part. Come on up!
@@10MinutestoRouletteFortune Great stuff - thank you for the great information!
One time I saw a guy fly fishing and I said “did you catch anything” he said “can’t you see I’m fly fishing”
Lol! That was a pretty clever response! Thanks for watching and cheers!
Even better when you beat the fish that’s been using the current too makes it all the more sweeter 😍
I see you get it Matt - thanks for the comments and taking the time to watch!
@@FlyFishDan my pleasure mate. What part of the world is this looks absolutely amazing? My PB is just shy of 10lbs in the Snowy Mountains of Australia 🙂
Nice rainbow, but I've caught bigger in Wyoming many times
Thank you - there are certainly larger westslope cutthroat out there...but this guy was my PB - heavy shoulders which you don't see often on these cutts. Cheers!
Stream fishing is by far my favorite thing to do. Unfortunately I don’t live anywhere near water source like this. Still water sucks
Very sorry to hear that! Time for a move one day perhaps?
Man I’ve never understood how to cast a fly rod or the purpose of them, but will say that is a nice looking reel on there and a beautiful spot to be fishing
I've got a few videos that could help you out with the cast. Generally, the appeal of a fly rod is the super light action and no weight to influence the play on the fish. Makes for a really fun fight. Cheers!
@@FlyFishDan I will check them out thanks
I'd be screwed if I hooked a monster like that with my 5x and 6x 😂 Beautiful fish!
Good lord, rainbow looking like a decent salmon!
I know right! He had some shoulders!
That's a gorgeous cutthaot man. Good job
Thanks 👍
A river beauty of a trout! Thick! Nice work!
Thanks 👍
Bet you're still feeling the buzz from that fight lol. Nice catch! Tightlines 👊🏼
Well done, landing a fish of that size is definitely a challenge. Listening to the noise of the water flow is making me nostalgic.
It was a good day indeed!
I was expecting a boot
No boot this time around! :)) Lol
Man...I would love to be there just vibing
It was a good vibe this day for sure :))
Side pressure my dude! Gets em turned and also tends to be less chance of them spitting the hook.
Good tip! Always tough to remember in the moment...my dad used to always say...'ROD TIP UP!!!' Old habits tough to break!
@@FlyFishDan yeah it's tough to break. I did "rod tip up" for a decade. Doesn't help that many guides still teach this (although to be fair the subtleties of using side pressure can be tricky to teach a newbie over the course of a day). I have Lance Egan to thank for a lot of great fishing advice including this. That man is a freaking fly wizard!
I'm a steelhead fisherman, and in the summer, I fish 6lb leater and 8lb mainline! Game on with bait!! I get the adrenaline rush. 20 years ago I banked a 22lb steelhead out of a creek.
Man, I bet that was a thrill!
This is literally what I daydream about while my wife tells me about her day.
You and me both!
A king in Michigan broke my bait caster
Darn! Sorry to hear that!
That is a beautiful fish. So glad I'm going flyfishing tomorrow 🙌
Looks like a giant rainbow trout
He was a big ol westslope cutthroat trout...pretty cool!
That's a fish you can tell your grand kids about
Oh yeah :)) Thanks for watching!
I Caught a ten pound bull trout the other day on a size 10 copper John with a 3x tippet under an indicator…. Was NOT expecting anything other than cutthroat and whitefish
Love it when that happens - that's a big bull!
That’s a beautiful cutthroat!
Dang! Nice fish bro!
Thank you Mr. Noneyabidness!
“that fish” “that fish”
Willie Wigwam's GirdleBugg strikes again!
I'm gonna have to Google that...Lol. Thanks for watching!
This was really cool for me because, as a novice fly fisherman, setting that hook at controlling all that extra line by your feet proves challenging. After watching this I’m going to try and do as you did here. Nice catch!
Awesome - it's always about keeping control and reducing slack...sometimes I can get it on the reel...sometimes I don't and that is totally normal when fly fishing. Good luck to you!
Did that this morning!
Sweeeeet!
That's massive for a cuttie!!
Nice job!
💛💚🌲💚💛
Thank you Rocky!
Wow what a monster, all 16 inches of it lol
Lol - I detect a bit of sarcasm...:)) He was all of 19"...just sayin. Thanks for watching anyway! Cheers!
Fly fishing looks so hard i never tried it but i have a feeling regular fishing pole is more fun 2 me
Check out my channel - I am here to help if you want to learn!
Awesome fish!! Have you tried using side pressure (rod parallel to the water and pulling low towards the bank)? Helps keep them in slower water deeper in the column so they don’t jump or spit it. Don’t think that fish was gonna be able to spit that or thrash free though, awesome set!!
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch! I was always taught by my dad, rod tip up!! (I hear in my head while playing a fish)...maybe it's time I learn to use rod position technique when reeling in a big fish. I appreciate the insight!
Many ways to skin a cat!
Your video is really crisp. What camera are you using?
I am using my iPhone 13 Pro Max filming wide angle 4K 60FPS
Wow, I landed a big old brown on a size 4 golden stone fly euro nymph in a slow pool in a pocket water stream, was only using a 4 weight rod, I thought it was going to snap. It’s funny because I had the same reaction. Mine measured around 26”. Enormous. Great shit!!
Nice! Thanks for sharing Lori! I bet that was a thrill!
Big fish..haha..in New Zealand we get 40lb Trout
ON MY BUCKET LIST!!!
Videos like this make me realize how lucky I was as a kid to catch salmon like this size everyday in Alaska
That would be pretty amazing for sure :))
@@FlyFishDan yeah my dad always told me “This don’t fishing son, This is catching. It’s not like this everywhere” when we’re we’re fishing in Kodiak Alaska
