Fly Fishing for Creek Chub
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- I took the ultralight spinning rod and the 3 weight fly rod out in pursuit of whatever fish I could catch on a new creek I've never fished before just for a change of pace and a little adventure. I was also looking to land my first fish ever with a fly rod and I was not disappointed.
Enjoy life, enjoy the outdoors and thanks for watching!

Not creek chubs they are fall fish very close to creek chub but fall fish are more silverly and bigger than an actual creek chub
Thanks for the info. I've heard of fall fish before but really didn't know they were similar to creek chub and had no idea that that's what I caught. I have 2 pugs by the way and they are named Tucker and Otis 👍
@@FitzYakin Fall fish are very similar to creek chubs and many people don't know that but hey when I first caught a fall fish I thought it was a creek chub and also put are great 👌
@@Goober523 haha yes pugs are awesome. Sweetest little dogs. Our 2 are going on 10 this summer. We love the little guys and they're a big part of our family. I plan to fly fish for these fall fish again because for me it was a blast catching them. So now I know what to look for when distinguishing between creek chub and fall fish. Just got into trout fishing last Spring (I've been a bass fisherman most of my life), so still learning to identify all these new species of fish I'm catching 😁
@@FitzYakin cool
Not familiar with fall fish, but chubs can grow up to 12 inches. We have some monsters in the creek that runs through our property.
You are now crowned The Creek Chub Master Angler. Nice to see you out there fly fishing, it’s fun. Glad you are doing something different.
Haha yes Adrian; I've been seeking this title for many years lol. Yeah it's been a fun year of trying different things and the fly fishing is one that I'm glad I tried. Plan on getting out soon to try and land a bass with one. Thanks for stopping g by as always brother :)
Look at you whipping that thang like a boss!!!...well done brother!!
Thanks Luke! It sure is fun landing a fish on one. I'm really enjoying this small creek fly fishing. Thanks as always for stopping by brother 🤘🤙
What a beautiful place to fish! 👍🌞💖
It is beautiful Joy! Quiet and serene and not a lot of fishing pressure. The kind of places I love to fish. I'll definitely be back there to fish some more :)
Great video 👍 if I was fly fishing I would get stuck in every tree in the woods 😂😂😂
Haha it's's really not as hard as I think people think. It definitely helps to get a little practice in in the backyard. And it's definitely a cool way to hook and land a fish. I wish I'd tried it earlier in life.
@@FitzYakin I may give it a try in the future lol 😂
Creek Chub...aka Fallfish, we catch em here in the Pemi all the time when we’re targeting smallmouth. Have caught em up tp 18” and a couple of pounds. I let just about everything go anyhow so what the heck. Wicked fun, fishing is fishing, nice to catch something on the fly rod in that pretty little stream. Way to go FitzY.
Oh I'd like to catch a biggun like that Don. Some of my first fish ever caught were creek chub back when I was a kid. We used to fish this little stream in the neighborhood with sticks, line and a bread ball on a hook. It was total fun and still is. Fishing is fishing and to me it's more about time outside, enjoying the great outdoors. The fish you catch are just icing on the cake. But I know you already know this :)
Can’t believe them chubs we’re hitting the crankbaits. Congrats on your first fly rod fish
Yeah, they were hitting them hard Josh. A lot of the catches I didn't include in the vid, but there were chub just a tad bigger than the crank I was throwing that were hitting it. And thanks; the fly rod is just fun. Gonna try and get out soon and try and land a largie from the kayak with the fly rod
You should. A 3 or 4 lb Bass is a blast on the fly rod.
Those opening shots were awesome, so beautiful. Loved the video fitzy! You're already better with a fly rod than me lol
Also that fly rod casting looks awesome in slo mo
Thanks Logan and lol I doubt that. Definitely a cool way to fish. Wish I'd taken this up years ago. I'm really enjoying exploring these little creeks and rivers. Adds a little adventure instead of going to the same old places I've been to a hundred times before. And using the fly rod is just going to add to the fun.
Congrats brother!! You were doing great with the fly rod!!
Thanks bro! I practised some in the backyard but still need some work on things. But what an enjoyable way to catch and land fish. I think I have the bug for it now :)
Got you could you get me back
It’s easy to get addicted to!!! Fun thing is when I use my spinning rod it feels so awkward!!! Lol
Looks like a great place to fish buddy
Got you could you get me back
It is a beautiful place John. Very little pressure, no background traffic noise, and undeveloped. My kind of stream :)
The Creek Chub King :D
Haha yeah Ethan! And it was a blast catching those little creek chub on the ultralight spinning and fly rods. More fun fishing than I've had in a long time 😊😁
@@FitzYakin TEAM ULTRALIGHT!
멋져요good👍
Thanks you my friend :)
👍Nice spot and catches, I never did try fly fishing!!
Thanks Pick and you should give it a try. It's a very enjoyable way to catch fish. I wanna try bigger species down the road; smallmouth and largemouth bass and maybe steelhead this early winter.
@@FitzYakin Cool!
Congrats on your first fly fish! Your intro had me thinking you were a pro!
Haha no Andrew; just a lot of practice in the backyard 😂😜
Nothing like finding some chubs!
I love finding chubs! The bigger, the better :)
Great video. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Lev! Thanks for watching 😉👍
Never tried fly fishing before..you look like youve done it for years Fitzy! Well done man heaps of fish, had lot of fun and all in a beaut spot👍
Thanks Dom! It was a very fun day of exploring some new water and landing my first fly rod fish. The fly rod is pretty cool. I wish I'd taken it up years ago. M going to try and land a bass on one in the kayak soon.
This was pretty cool, enjoy watching this !
Thanks my brother! 🤙
great bro 👍🏻😁
Thanks brother! :)
That is a beautiful creek. Congrats on the first fish on the fly. You are making want to break out the old fly-rod. It's been a while.
Thanks! Very enjoyable experience fishing these little creeks with a fly rod. It's something I'll definitely be doing again though I'll try and target some bigger trout 😁
very nice :)
Thank you sir! :)
Wow I've caught a couple Creek Chub's in a day. But I've never caught them all day. Mainly small mouth, rock bass beat em to it.
Haha yeah, I was a creek chub king this day. I know they ain't a prized fish but it was still a fun day catching them.
I'm terrible at fly fishing!! You hooked in to quite a few!
Lol I still have lot to learn Bottles! Thanks for stopping by brother :)
Mantap brother...
Got ya back brother 🤙
Congrats on you first fly rod catch. I’m yet to buy fly fishing equipment. Probably will get it by the fall. Those chubs were going nuts.
Thanks Fishy and the fly fishing is something I wish I'd taken up years ago. Hard to explain, but it's a very enjoyable way to hook and land fish. Trying a lot of new things this year with fishing, fly fishing was at the top of the list. I think I've got the bug for it now. I want to try and land a largemouth out of the kayak with a fly rod soon.
I'll pop in for your livestream tonightbut I can't stay long
FitzYakin after my research I’ve settled on 5 weight setup for trout in our creek. Isn’t 3 wt too light, unless of course you target panfish only?
Awesome vid! Do you remember what size fly for small stream fishing?
Thanks brother. Not sure. I'm kind of a half a** fly fisherman. Not up to speed on all the lingo and all. But think maybe a size 16 or 18 maybe.
Helluva trek in to that spot. Looked like a good spot though. For someone that hadn't flyfished before you were killing it. I wanted to learn to fly fish but apparently you can just use a spinning reel with bobbers or split shots and the flys. Nice chubs and brookie for your first catch. What was the lure you were using on your spinning rod?
Yes, the spot is one of those overlooked spots that not many people fish which is one of the things I love. It also gets a run of salmon and steelhead in the fall and winter so I'm going to scout it out for those seasons for down the road. And yes about spinner gear and flies but you should try the fly fishing at least once; just a different way to catch and land them that is cool. And the lure is a mini rapala crank Brett.
@@FitzYakin Yeah I wanted to get into fly fishing this year but the only person I know that did it moved away. Should be a lot easier walking through that in the fall.
Yeah that's the one thing with these smaller streams is that this time of year they are covered up pretty well with brush so they're hard to work and get up and downstream.
You should still give it a try Brett; really not that much too it.
@@FitzYakin Not too bad going up and down the stream. You can just walk in the water and cool off.
I am new to fly fishing and I caught one river chub but missed a bunch of strikes, then I learned I am supposed to set the hook downstream
Yeah, hook up ratio is much better when setting downstream. Good luck with it. It's a blast.
What are you using to catch the chub on your rods
I was using the smallest Rapala crankbait or jerkbait they have on the spinning rod and a small bead head weighted nymph (hook size #16 maybe) on the fly rod.
I got a lil chub in my pants🤣
Mmmmmmm......:)
Lol yeaaaa buddddy!
