Fishing plunge pools on small headwater streams is my favorite kind of fishing. The streams and strategies you describe are pretty similar to the headwater streams in the Smokies.
Not much having to "read" the water here! None of those complex large stream currents and eddies. Just having to be quiet and sneaky while putting the fly over likely looking water is a refreshing experience for sure! Hard to beat the location and scenery too!
Good to see you catch gila trout ! Love going down south to catch them . Lake Robert’s has some bigger gila trout . I saw a 15”+ in whitewater creek back in February!
I want to fish for Gila trout now. I have the smaller version of your fishpond backpack and how do you access your stuff from your backpack on the river. I haven’t found a good system yet.
Running around with a camera has slowed me way down.. So when I need to get back there it is a whole process of taking it off and rummaging around.. I haven't found a good process either unfortunately haha
Thanks for video! NICE! Which section or river were you hitting? Headed there Saturday. I understand if you cant give specifics, just looking for general area.
Just PB'd on a brown today. Super stoked. Watching your videos made me get out there
WHAT?! DUDE!!! That is so sick! That is what I like to hear! Those are some powerful fishy vibes brother
Another really good video. Great info. And Ant Rods are a really good deal. I love glass man. Cant wait for the next installment 😎👍
Thank you so much!! The glass is so much fun! I just went on an epic trip and there is MUCH more to come haha

That’s a damn fine Gila omg!
Stockers, so ya know. I live there.
Seems real similar to the high mountain brook trout. Which are soooo much fun. Good job bud
Exactly! Fill in the blank for any high elevation trout species! They will act in very similar ways!
Great video! Surprised it doesn't have more views !?
Thank you so much Brendan!

I hit subscribe the second he caught the first one and kept the netted fish in the water. Scoop it leave it… rest it release it. Perfect.

@@FLYALLSZN that’s what I do. Not organized at all.
Beautiful fish, a sub species I've never seen before ,very adaptable fish ,let's hope they thrive.
Gila are truly amazing!! Deep dive on their taxonomy and you will be amazed!
They are actually extremely fragile, and these are stocked

Shoot me a DM on IG and I'll hit you with what I know!

I need to buy one of those ant rods
They are not a sponsor... They just gave me the rods. So when I say this, I mean it. I LOVE THEM. Nicest rods I've ever owned.
Worms 🪱 work great 👍🏼
