    In this video I hunt for a 20+ inch brown on a streamer. I wasn't sure how long it would take but it ended up taking around 5 hours of fishing which spanned over 2 days of fishing. I moved several other nice browns an caught 1 or 2 others that didn't make the video, but overall it was an awesome couple of day of fishing. Fly fishing and targeting big trout is something I haven't been able to do that much recently.

      @@jamesshuler4703Jon lives in West Virginia so this river is most likely not near you. The best stream in your area is actually in South West Virginia, the South Fork of the Holston river holds trophy wild browns near the Buller fish hatchery.

    Couldn't help thinking about this song by Michael Murphey when you were talking to or about the fish.
    "Because he called the forest brother
    Because he called the earth his mother
    They drove him out into the rain
    And some people even said
    That the boy from the country was insane
    Because he spoke with fish in the creek
    He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
    And who knows, maybe they do
    Hey, how do you know they don't
    Just because they've never spoken to you"
    John Denver also sang it very well. Congrats on some awesome trout fishing....and talking. Great video!

    I really enjoy your vids. I'd love you to do a tutorial on streamer fishing, particularly the type of leaders you use with different types of flies ( and lines ).

    • @braxtenfranz2257
      @braxtenfranz2257 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is. You can use a floating line and a regular 6-7 wt rod like he does in his videos. That works good for smaller slower water. And some people like that for big rivers also but I personally fish a sinking line in bigger/deeper water. And you can fish weighted and un weighted streamers with the float line. But once again I personally like the sinking line. Then just start playing with it takes a little doing to really learn but you just want to make that minnow look real and like it’s moving from fast water to cover or slower water. Then when the train hits the hook will be set so hold on! I TH-cam’s how to set up a streamer rod when I got started. Fist day streamer fishing the whole day I netted 12 browns and 2 lake trout.

    • @clammerify
      @clammerify 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You use streamers to target and pick out the BIG fish. Fishing streamers tends to pick out the 16" + fish consistently since they become piscivorous (other fish as main food source - what you are imitating with streamers. You can fish streamers in ALL conditions and at ALL times but the best conditions are during cloudy/rainy/overcast days and especially good if these days are coupled with brown/high/dirty water and dusk/dawn and night time. Why you ask? It is the best chance that a big predatory brown has to nail baitfish etc since the visibility is low and they can ambush them. Low light + cloudy water - well the prey can't seem them coming.
