Nice man! Yeah, the canals are such a close and fun place to get some fishing in, even during busy weeks! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment 🙂✌️🎣
Haha, the good ol raging river spot!! That bass's jaw was feeling a bit flimsy.... I think it's been caught a few times.... Anyway, that Tilapia was super rad!! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment, brother!! 🤙🤙✌️🎣
Definitely worth something for us valley fly anglers, lol. I subscribed. I'm new to the sport and I just can't get up to the trout streams often enough so I've been practicing on warm water species here in the valley, but it's a different game. You're vids definitely help. Man, this one was great, the bass and tilapia were monsters. Thanks for posting and commenting on your setup and tackle.
Yeah, I'm right there with you... I'd love to get up to the trout streams more, but being a husband and dad to two young kiddos keeps me generally tied to the valley. That said, I like chasing the warm water species, and was definitely happy to catch some bass and that awesome Tilapia for this video! Thanks so much for subscribing and dropping a comment... It really helps the channel grow! 🙂✌️🎣
@KevinRapkochFishing im from abq , i got a pike on streamer, also catfish on the fly and we got stripers and largemouth bass , sometimes perch if luckky ive never got one yet
@@H3DG3xC043 nice man! I've never caught a pike on fly before, that'd be a blast! I caught a small Flathead catfish on a fly earlier this summer... That was cool haha! Fly Fishing for largemouth is awesome 🤙🤙✌️🎣
@KevinRapkochFishing u ever hear of Bluewater lake here in new mexico ? They got huge tiger muskiees like 20-40 inchers , lots of people go to fish for them at that lake !
@@H3DG3xC043 I've never heard of it, but I need to add it to the list! I've only fished in NM once on a trip with my wife and kids to Carlsbad Caverns... I fished the Pecos River for carp, caught a couple cool commons on the fly 🤙🤙✌️🎣
Hey, thanks for the sub and for dropping a comment!! Yeah, that was a solid Tilapia for sure. When you fish them with artificials, especially baitfish patterns, you tend to catch the big ones that are chasing things down out of aggression! 🤙🤙✌️🎣
Wow!! Definitely didn't imagine Tilapia looked like THAT when I buy filets at the store! 😂😂 Loved the history of the original canal builders in the ancient southwest.
GUARANTEED this video is awesome! 😎😂, that fly worked wonders today! I really want to fish the Canals someday with you dude! Insane Tilapia at the first Kev, such cool colors and great size! Another wonderful canal adventure dude! 🎉🤜🤛🎣🚀
Thanks, Brody! Yeah man, when you come here, we're definitely hitting the canals together! And I might need your expertise at Lake Pleasant (just outside of Phoenix), as it has a lot of striped bass! .... That Tilapia was pretty sweet... The blue colors popped on that one! Thanks for always supporting the channel, my friend. Hope you and yours have a great week! 🙂✌️🎣
Yeah man, that was definitely a chunker!! I wasn't expecting it to be that big when I was trying to wrangle it in. Thanks for watching & dropping a comment!! 🙂✌️🎣
Hey Johnny, there are SRP canals all over Phoenix metro with tons of fish! I fish the ones in Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Gilbert (East Valley), but I know people who fish the canals on the Westside and North Phoenix as well, and they all have good fishing! I definitely recommend getting out there and giving it a try! Be safe! 🙂✌️🎣

Like a Boy Scout. Be prepared.

Nope, I've never fished out that way... Are there pretty decent canals over there? 🙂✌️🎣
