      Thanks Ten! You brought back memories for this old man from my youth living in Michigan and fishing these secluded narrow creeks, but more for Brown trout. The thrill of fishing in such confined yellow streams and pulling out 6-8” was so satisfying, even though I had the open deep waters of the Great Lakes all around me, (which I also enjoyed). But there was some feeling that so atttracted me to this venue that’s hard to put into words. And as you noted, when you occcasionally pulled out a 12-18” trout, (that by deep rivers and lake tributaries would be considered normal size, it was that much more gratifying to nab one in these narrow and shallow creeks.

    This is the type of fishing I grew up doing with my brother. We grew up on tiny creeks and small beautiful trout. The thrill of catching even a 12 inch back then would make our whole camping trip worth it. We would fish in the rain and be soaking wet shivering as we got back to camp. We would fish sunlight to sundown. Nothing like catching a decent trout like this in a creek like this. Thanks for sharing

  • @sunfishdinner
    @sunfishdinner 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I've never seen someone fish like this before and it's honestly genius. Small creek in the middle of no where that not many people would think to fish due to the snag potential. Looks like a ton of fun!

  • @erikevensen3701
    @erikevensen3701 2 ปีที่แล้ว +194

    Yeah. My heart would be pounding too. Catching a fish of that size in that stream makes it very memorable. You can catch 8-10 pounders in henry’s lake but that’s expected. Catching a 17 inch cutt in a tiny creek like that isn’t common. Well done.

    This video really demonstrates the reason that I love Tenkara! I have fished larger, well known streams with Western style fly gear and landed some big fish. The enjoyment is lost when there are crowds of people. These tiny, overlooked creeks can be amazing and very peaceful! Every wild trout that I encounter is a treasure! Even the tiny ones! You are right! The memory of one big fish, out of such a place, is very meaningful!
    Thank you!

    I fished little streams like this as a young man. One in particular over Brandon Gap VT. The further I went up the stream the larger the fish got until there were no fish. Quite a memory! And yes, essentially every cast got you a fish.

    Fabulous fish!!!
    We, most japanese anglers, can not tell cutthroat from rainbow trout.
    But I finally realized they are completely defferent from your picture.
    Cutthraots are so cute and the cheek is a bit blueish. Very clear skin.
    More similar to Amago and Yamame, my favorite species.
    thank you.

    Brought a smile to my face! I got my trout fishing addiction on little streams like this! I always make it a goal to catch a fish out of the tiniest of streams. Most people overlook these beautiful little babbling waters. One more reason I like them so much! Cutthroat is my dream fish living in and one day ill finally get to catch one.

  • @firefightingguy9427
    @firefightingguy9427 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Part of the wonder of fishing is what lies beneath the waters round the bend. Sights, sounds and the thrill of it all. What a Beautiful fish. Glad to see it stay in the creek. Finding an off the beat body of water that most folks will say is un-fish able shows their lack of faith in nature. Where there is water there is life.

    A friend at work quit his job and moved to Wyoming to work on a ranch. He wanted me to come out and fish the streams. I never did (70's). He wasn't a fisherman but he said the streams were loaded with trout and there was little to no competition as I recall. Great video!

    I also like fishing for tiny fish like the Rasbora family, Puntius and others.
    Your fishing spot is extraordinary, even though it's just a small river but the fish are abundant, you can even get a big trout jackpot.
    Dood job, Bro 😄👍.
    Always success 😀🙏

    The cutthroat trout I'm used to are of the Lahonton variety, in Pyramid lake. I would never have thought a species of trout bigger than brook trout to be found in a creek like the one you're fishing in...and being able to drop a fly in those conditions is amazing, I know I couldn't do it.

    I tried tenkara a few years ago in the eastern Sierra. Borrowed a buddies rod to try in addition to my usual lure casting. It was a great way to learn fly type fishing, easy to pick up, and the gear perfect for lightweight backpacking. Only negative was it wouldn’t work for any larger water where you want to get far out from shore. So fun and simple though.

  • @vitamind2387
    @vitamind2387 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I live in Tulsa, OK now but grew up in Washington State outside of Seattle. Fishing small streams for big trout was always my favorite. I would use a live worm with a bobber or a dry fly with one of those clear floating bobbers so it wouldn’t spoke the fish drifting with the fly. Most of the big came like yours did under a wood jam.

    That is mind blowing that a fish that large can live in such a small creek. I fished in larger creeks and ONCE managed to catch a brown trout that large. Mainly used small rods, 5-pound line and the smallest hooks...works well! A friend and I went to Junction Pool in Roscoe NY and my friend's first cast of the morning caught a 22" brown trout with beautiful spots so it wasn't a stocked one. There was a brief rain falling at Noon and we were pulling out so many 16" to 18" trout that we had to toss many back since we reached our five/day maximum. Some went on the smoker and some were on the grill in foil simmering in melted butter and fresh squeezed lemon juice!

    I didn't see any TREES here, but there was quite a lot of brush--very close to the edge of the stream, and you made several beautiful casts, right on the button, quite literally. That last fish was more than a surprise. I have NEVER caught a fish that size in such a small stream. Perhaps that's the difference between the northern Appalachians and the northern Rockies. This has to be one of my favorite videos that you've made since you began--it has a beginning, a good strong middle, with several nice fish, and a smashing, unexpected end with the whopper. Perfect.

    Great video, I love creeks, moved to San Diego from Bay Area and I miss my old spots at 108 and 395, can’t wait to go back some day.

    Never would have thought you’d get a trout that size in that creek. Great job, nice

    That’s crazy!! I’ve never seen a fish that big in that small of water. I have a nice brookie stream I hit a bunch. Heard of 18” brook’s in there back in the day but naturally I’ve never spooked, seen, or caught anything like that. Great video!

    Very high skill level casting in that small stream. I'd stag every bush.
