- Had a rough morning chasing big browns, lost a big fish and broke my fly rod! I had my 6 ft 3 wt in the car so decided to check out a small tributary without any real expectations but hoping to find some brook trout, lets just say I wasn't too upset about breaking the fly rod!

Wow...this just came up on my feed. Nice to see someone enjoying this type of fishing. Well done!
Im so glad it came up on your feed. I truly love finding and fishing these small wild trout streams. Thanks for commenting and stay tuned/sub as I will be hopefully getting out some new footage soon!
Really making me long for the warmer weather. I love small stream fishing more than anything. Great job!
Thanks 👍
Pretty water and fish. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much man, nothing prettier than wild brookies!!
Another great video. I was driving back from the Catskills to Ithaca that day through that area. The rain certain did come down later. The Beaverkill and East branch were fishing really well that day as well.
Awesome footage my friend. NY is so beautiful where you are. Love it.
Thanks man, yeah there are some pretty spots for sure!! Thanks for commenting and glad you enjoyed!!
@@deaddriftoutdoors2940 You are welcome!
Awesome Brookies and Nice Brown Surprise!
Thanks so much this was a fun video to make and awesome new stream to explore. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Respectable across the board. Hope folks can learn from your example. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much I appreciate it!
Wonderful intro John. Really enjoyed watching this as always. Sorry about the rod and other stream, but great pivot. You turned a negative into a positive. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man, yeah it start out so good but ended up being a great day!! Appreciate your support!
You ever fish Adirondacks??
Outstanding! Thank you.
Thanks so much I really appreciate your feedback!
We drove from Ithaca back home to PA this summer and I lost count of all the spots we passed that looked like great fishing. Good stuff!
Yeah there are lots of nice spots for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome! I try and watch a lot of “Ny brookie” videos and this one is one of the few that I recognize the creek. It holds a lot of fish for a stream that is all but dry in the summer.
I know. I used to photograph it in the fall but in the summer is was so low and dry I didn't even consider fishing it but then I saw a nice brookie when photographing one day and made sure to bring my fly rod, it did not disappoint! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Beautful water and lovely tmes. :-)
Thanks so much !
Nice video. Just moved to CNY, looking forward to exploring the local waters!
There are lots of great trout streams to explore! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Ah my home state!!!
Great video really enjoyed and subbed, I’m just waiting for the wild trout season to start in the uk 🇬🇧
Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed, cool to have a sub from across the pond!!
Looks incredible. I need to explore the southern tier more. Brook trout are my favorite trout species, and I have not caught one yet.
There aren't a ton of brookies in the southern tier but there are a few. Mostly northern and western areas. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice video!! I’ve caught some native brookies in the Driftless Area in the last few years. They are an amazing looking fish!!
Cool. I would love to fish out there sometime I have watched some vids and looks like a unique and productive area!
Lived in wny my whole life and it’s such a hidden gem not many people know how gorgeous it is and how untouched a lot of areas are
I’m 22 and still finding new waterfall as and fishing spots in areas I’ve been my whole life
I agree!
Hey brother, very nice video. Enjoyed the trip.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video!
Thanks I appreciate it!
I love content from NY, I’m in WNY and feel we have some the best trout streams of anywhere! Great content man. Come get a taste of lake run steelhead this fall near us sometime
Yeah I have never really fished the far western part of the state might have to put it on the list! Thanks for watching and commenting!
beautiful little video
Thanks so much, appreciate it!
Thanks that was helpful
You are welcome!
I’ve been watching your videos lately. I just moved from Miami,Fl and trying to get into the trout fishing. So far I’ve landed some good size trouts .. no brook trout yet. I live in the Steuben county area. Corning.
There are a bunch of small wild trout streams out that way with brookies, keep at it and you'll find em, good luck and thanks so much for commenting!
Nicely done. New subscriber. 👊
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!!
Good video friend , was just checking out your channel and i joined up
Thank you so much I really appreciate the feedback and sub!!
When I tell the guys at work about trout fishing back home from the streams or I say brooks lol they have no idea how awesome it is compared to fishing for trout in a river (white river) Arkansas but again I loved going to the Delaware east or west branches Sullivan county NY I miss it
I grew up calling them cricks, then started saying streams, now I say brook or creek or stream. Either way I love fishing the small water, its a very unique experience, its nice to have open space to cast on the big water but I will always come back to the small water!!
Nice production
Thanks so much!
As a beginner in Fly Fishing and also from NYC, it's nice to know that I can find a streams in NY that will be fun. I Cant wait for the coming weeks where I will be able to plan a few outings. God bless mother nature and the scenic areas and activities she provides us.
There are many opportunities in NY for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very nice fish. I love these small streams, but my $70 6' 8' 3 wt won't throw line like your LL Bean haha It's kinda hard finding native or wild trout in central NY, most I've run into is warm temps and stocked rivers.
There are plenty of great wild trout streams but you gotta put in some time to find em. My LLBean was actually pretty cheap like 100$
Hello I have enjoyed watching your videos and becomeing a subscriber. Good video, Beautiful brook trout ! Like u I am a avid trout fisherman here in upstate NY. I am sorry to here your misfortune of breaking your flyrod. I have been there also, a few times in my life unfortunetly. I was wondering was that a Orvis clearwater rod, as it seems I have seen u with this rod in some of your videos ? Just wondering because I have heard of a few people haveing breakage issues with this rod. Debuting maybe getting this rod because of the issues that I have heard of. I do believe Orvis does have a pretty good warranty though that they back, I believe.
So the rod I broke was a Cabela's Synch Rod, it is an entry level rod nothing fancy so I wasn't too surprised that it broke, it gets slammed around pretty good so prolly had a nick and I was pulling hard against a snag, it was only about 100$ so not a huge loss, otherwise I really like it. I do have a 5wt Orvis Clearwater, haven't used it much yet though....
Thanks for watching and commenting and subscribing I appreciate your support!!
Solid content. I really like your videos. Also slightly partial because I am also a fly fishermen in WNY! Headed for brookies this weekend after some rain hopefully.
Awesome, good luck on the brookies!
I didn't even know LL bean made fly rods!
Yeah I think they still do. I used to live near a factory store and got that little rod and reel for around 100 bucks. Good investment!
Have ya fished the Mongaup lately? seen a guy w a 9 pounder once.
nope never been there
Which county is this in? I just moved to Elmira and I'm looking for some brooks to fish.
Epic video by the way!
@@asowers1 Thanks Andrew I really appreciate you watching and commenting and glad you enjoyed. This creek is in Tompkins County hope that helps. I think there lots of creeks north and west of you. Good luck
What do you think of the DEC policy of not sticking brookies?
I certainly don't think I'd want to see them in streams with healthy wild brookies but no problem put and take scenario. I think they are still stocking brookies in certain streams as far as I was aware just not stocking as much on top of wild fish.
They don't stock them in region seven. They say that the water is too warm. They don't stock rainbows unless the stream goes into a lake. They stock rainbows in lakes.
Stocking sucks all together.
@@MTips18 no offense but you likely aren’t familiar with many productive streams in WNY. It is single handedly because of stocking that now wild populations are present. I can think of 4 beautiful streams that maintain healthy populations of rainbows, browns and brooks because of past stockings many years ago.
Caledonia trout hatchery (amongst others) is excellent and maintain strict regulations pertaining to stocking numbers and do regular studies to maintain healthy ecosystems. Please don’t bash excellent organizations.
Any chance of getting the names of the streams you fish?
These are small wild streams that could not take too much pressure so unfortunately I don't generally name the streams unless they are more well known/larger streams. You'll just have to get out there and explore!
@@deaddriftoutdoors2940 I think I might have figured this one out. If it's the same one I'm thinking of, I've wanted to try that spot for awhile.
Nice fish what creek was that
Thanks for watching and commenting but I generally don't disclose the location of these small creeks to help protect from too much traffic.
Where is this
paradise lol
Anyone opinions on how mater trout u can eat a month or per week before its unhealthy… ud think in nature itd be fine, but i red a article no more then one per month because of mercury Levels… but not sure if the gov is just saying that so u spend money in their store..
I think the levels in most stream trout would be relatively low. Bigger older fish in lakes might be more of an issue. Stockers are also a good bet for the table as they are raised on commercial feed and only 1-2 yrs old so levels would be low in my opinion.
Have ya ever eaten a native? Talk about a tasty morsel.
yes I have cooked some up camping, they are tasty for sure!
