- In this video I caught my biggest wild brown ever on a size 20 zebra midge. This was a huge accomplishment to me and I am so happy that I finally caught this fish. I also caught another really nice wild brown as well in the video. The Bushkill Creek proved to be one of the best streams in Eastern PA and I will definitely be back. Check out lively legz fly fishing to see what flies I used today. If you enjoyed this video give me a thumbs up and please subscribe to my channel!
Definitely a stone fly. I grew upon the Bushkill and little Bushkill. That was 50-60 years ago. The last time I fished wit my dad was just downstream from where you were. I am in Colorado now on the Arkansas river.
That first bug looked like a black stonefly, they usually hatch in February. It’s really cool to see them when there’s snow on the ground
Heck of a day man! Congrats. Can't wait to cross that milestone off my life, hopefully this year. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Good luck getting to 1K, and hopefully soon!
Tight Lining MD Thanks I appreciate it!
Well done, congrats on the PB Brown. Haven't fished the Bushkill in many years. I used to fish it up in Resica Falls.
Michael Capurso Thank you!
My first legitimate wild brown was 20" on a WD40. Took me down to my backing 3 times !! Btw: Very Nice fish !!!
Beautiful brown. That release was graceful AF lol
nadraws Thanks! That fish did not want to be touched that’s for sure.
Thank You
Beautiful fish, just started fly fishing so i have a lot to learn
Oh by the way, when trying to take the picture in the net, keep the fish's head and mouth in the water. That was at they can breathe.
Hell yea man! What a beautiful fish! Love it
Rush Voorhis Outdoors Thanks!
Great video as always!!! That’s my home water!!
mike rapeer Thank you I appreciate that!
Backwater Films what is your leader set up? I don’t remember if you have a video about it
mike rapeer I use an orvis leader tied down to a tippet ring and then 6X tippet to my flies
Awesome fish! Congrats! Your making me think about getting a euro nymphing rod🤔
Congrats on the giant brown! What a beauty!
Annette Franklin Thanks!
Congratulations! Nice brown!
WildBlue Discovery Thank you!
That fish is a stud! My biggest Pa Brown was 24inch Lehigh Gorge MONSTER!
Philip Mac Thanks!
Awesome video, enjoyed your successful trip on the Bushkill. The only advice I would give you is get a better system going with your net like a magnet hook up with a bungy hooked to your net. You shouldn't have to use your reel while also holding your net. Otherwise, you did a great job with this video, look forward to seeing more. Tight Lines
Len Sherlinski Thanks!
Those fish are not in the water when their head and gills are out of the water. You had them out of the water way too long!
Yes, that's true. You did better in this regard on that other video. :-)
handled your stuff like a pro....well done!!
Thanks!
“I hear this is a pretty pressured stream..” so I think I’ll name it and post my public TH-cam video..
Honest to god I’m really happy you had success and had a great time. Seriously. But please think about how that one comment, combined w naming the stream and posting the video, are pretty strongly imbalanced with that.
Many of us have sadly watched the stream and trout population succumb to anglers (not seemingly like yourself at all) who don’t have the respect for the fishery. Not withstanding the concrete plant upstream who’s reeked havoc on the flows.
Best of luck and continued success.
Congrats Brother! What a great brown!
Papa Bear Outdoors Thank you!
Stunning wild brown.
Nice haul the first fly in the video the big one looked like a Dobson fly the nymph stage would be a hellgramite. The ones on your hood looked like a tan caddis. The black flies in the saucon creek video were black caddis flies. Hit me up sometime we to like the same streams. Be well!
What a beast, congrats!
Seán Earnest Thanks!
Awesome fish! What size tippet was your size 20 zebra midge on?
If all the legacy nuisance dams were removed, it would be a STELLAR wild brown trout stream. It grew the nicest fish in the Lehigh valley when I was there, 20+ years ago. Also, as long as the limestone quarry's water pumps don't fail.
Blackstone fly is the name of that bug
Hey man I’m planning on heading there Saturday for the first time. Do you have any recommendations on spots to fish it?
Congrats on netting that beast on such a small fly. He definitely gave you a ride! Great video and new sub here!
What_My_Lens_Sees Thanks!
Which Bushkill were you on? The one near Easton or the one in the poconos?
Stonefly
Gonna say stonefly. I’m not good at ID but yep.
I live like 5 minutes away from hush kill creek it’s really nicr
Nice fish but you had his head out of water way too long.
Good advice. He is young and I'm sure appreciates learning more about handling fish. We all learn if we are open to it.
Keep em wet. Whole fish in the water, take a pic, release em and then talk bout the fishing part of it. That big fish was out for 1:20, not good
