Dude, THANK YOU for including the tree “catch” and the lost fly. It is reassuring to see even someone as good as you catch the local flora once in a while! Great video!
@@hardmanfishingmeans a lot to those of us who don’t fish as much to see that even experts hang up from time to time. Thanks for another great video with no music. Love it!
Awesome lesson and success. Beautiful 10 + Brookie. Thank you for this great video. The sun is about to touch the trees in the west here and time for me to go wet a hook (fly). And always tight lines, Tony Walkingstick
Dude this gives me hope I lost a ten incher out of a stream is VA and was so sad but watching you snag the tree helped me learn everyone makes mistakes 😅
I look forward to watching your videos, I really love the scenery and there's no distracting music. Do all those woods, trails and streams have public access? Reassuring to see that even an expert like you loose the occasional fly!
Thank you!! And yes I try to have all of my flies barbless but some I have to pinch the barb on. At least for brookies. ONLY exception is like the size 20 flies because not having a barb on them is TOUGH
Nice vid. It would be great if you put the rod length and line weight you're using in the notes of your videos. While we're on the topic, what length and weight are you using in this vid?
Parachute Adams (size 14-18), Elk Hair Caddis (size 14-18), Stimulater (10-14), and a terrestrial like an ant or small hopper, something that floats well so you can use a dropper if they don't hit dries. You don't NEED all of these it just gives you some options
i found a "G-loomis IMX-PRO 486-4 4wt" in a ponmd earlier today, its been there atlease a year by the looks of it maybe more, i would guess 3. the coating is destroyed, almost all gone and it has a reel that still has the made in china sticker on teh bottom of it, is it worth trying to learn how to fly fish with it.
Just got a 2015 and unfortunately only got to ride it once before i had to have surgery. I will say we took it on about 150 mile trip and it was comfortable

I almost cut it out but when I was watching the clip I couldn't stop laughing so I decided to include it🤣 Glad someone enjoyed it!

If I'm fishing a tiny creek and get hung up up like that, that's when bust out spinning gear, unfortunately lol

That's awesome!! Glad you enjoy the videos
Enjoy your videos along with your commentary. Thanks a million

I am getting into fly fishing, and I have learned sooooooo much from your content it isn't even funny! I love it!
Glad you're enjoying it and learning a few things!
Great creek, thanks for sharing.
Awesome lesson and success. Beautiful 10 + Brookie. Thank you for this great video. The sun is about to touch the trees in the west here and time for me to go wet a hook (fly). And always tight lines, Tony Walkingstick
Thanks Tony! Good luck, hope you caught one or two!
Nothing better than wild brookies.
Great video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed
Another awesome video well done some really nice fish

Amazing fishing man! 🔥 Such a great watch! 🎣🤘
you survived the elements once again💪🏼
Awesome video!
Thank you!
Nice commentary, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the commentary!
Never thought I'd click so fast on a Hard man video.
Idk why but I laughed WAY too hard at "Hard man" being separate 😂 Thanks for watching
I fish a stream just like it. The fish are beautiful. Congrats brother
Thanks man!
Great little native stream. That big one looked no less than 11"!
I know it was in that range! Thanks for watching
Dude nice trout👌
Man you are getting close to 100K. Good luck!
I know! It's crazy. Thanks for watching
Dude this gives me hope I lost a ten incher out of a stream is VA and was so sad but watching you snag the tree helped me learn everyone makes mistakes 😅
Losing a 10 inch native is TOUGH but I've lost my fair share. I usually need a moment of silence. But of course we all make mistakes! It's part of it
UPDATE: I went fishing in mossy creek VA and caught a few beautiful wild browns MY FIRST EVER! Your my inspiration so I thank you
you persevered !!
Awesome content, thanks!!
Thank you!
I look forward to watching your videos, I really love the scenery and there's no distracting music. Do all those woods, trails and streams have public access? Reassuring to see that even an expert like you loose the occasional fly!
Sweet Brookie 👍
Beautiful Brookie! Looked like it was about 12 inches and he was fat! Congrats!
That big fish was over 16 for sure!
big freakin native boyz 🤙🏼
What is the best time of the day to fly fish for brown trout in July
May you make a video about your gear, love your content ❤️!
I really need too, I get so many questions about it
Hello, may I ask what brand the mesh bag is?
Please do one showing liters and how to use them I’ve learned a lot from your videos please
I’ve watched a bunch of your posts. I can’t say that I’ve ever not watched to the very end. Thanks. BTW do you fish barbless?
Thank you!! And yes I try to have all of my flies barbless but some I have to pinch the barb on. At least for brookies. ONLY exception is like the size 20 flies because not having a barb on them is TOUGH
Nooo don’t tell em bout the brook trout that the streamer 😂😂
Love your content Jon, what tripod camera are you using (the non-go pro footage). It's incredibly clear.
Panasonic Lumix G6 I believe... or something like that
Nice vid. It would be great if you put the rod length and line weight you're using in the notes of your videos. While we're on the topic, what length and weight are you using in this vid?
8 foot 6 inch 3 wt
Where is this I think I might have been to this creek before
Hey. I’m going to the NC mountains in almost a week. What dry flys would you fish for native brook trout?
Parachute Adams (size 14-18), Elk Hair Caddis (size 14-18), Stimulater (10-14), and a terrestrial like an ant or small hopper, something that floats well so you can use a dropper if they don't hit dries. You don't NEED all of these it just gives you some options
@@hardmanfishing Thankyou. I was just wondering because I see you catch em all.👍👍👍
Nice
Sick bro
I'm not sure what the specis of Salmon you are catching. Did you say something about native salmon? What size do these salmon grow to?
They are Brook trout not Salmon
Loved the video! I think for the title you meant, "fly fishing a small creek FOR a big fish". Not a big deal. I just thought you'd want to know. ❤
Idk I just put random words together sometimes LOL
At home in WV?
What rod and reel is that?
It’s a renegade black series combo.
Ey I got an idea. When you edit. Wouldnt it be cool if you show what youre fishing on. Like a picture of the fly/flysetup
Where it is ?
The mothman stole your fly
I knew it!!🤣
You should come to finnish lapland
yo sweet vid! Just put up my newest vid fly fishing shad on the umpqua, big inspo 🙏
i found a "G-loomis IMX-PRO 486-4 4wt" in a ponmd earlier today, its been there atlease a year by the looks of it maybe more, i would guess 3. the coating is destroyed, almost all gone and it has a reel that still has the made in china sticker on teh bottom of it, is it worth trying to learn how to fly fish with it.
also if someone could explain what 486-4 and 4wt mean that would be amazing
Hard man,
You get so upset when you miss a fish. Chill bro
What if I don't want to chill bro?
Can you fish whit you’re girl friend or a family member
I'm sure I can make that happen
Just got a 2015 and unfortunately only got to ride it once before i had to have surgery. I will say we took it on about 150 mile trip and it was comfortable
