Psyched you’re back! My best trout so far just so happens to be the first trout I’ve ever caught on a sub-surface fly. A 14” brookie! Thanks to you for your videos showing your technique.
Glad to see you back. Beautiful looking water. Not much luck in moving water. Stillwater fishing has been outstanding this season. Never thought bobber fishing (oops indicator fishing) could be so productive and fun. Squirmy worms and jig style wooly buggers tough to beat. No big fish to brag about .... YET!
Good job Dan ! Nice to see you exploring, never know what awaits when searching for new runs ! My biggest trout was a 21 inch bow , gave me a hell of a fight ! Tight lines my friend 👍
Great video! Keep on Keepin' on! largest trout was a 21" rainbow when I was young with a hook and a worm! Largest on a fly was a 9" brown,. Hope things work out! Let's Go! Mountaineers!
Dan - Just want to say welcome back, good to see you again. Had 2 PB’s this Summer with a 14” Brookie & 19” bow from the Swift R tribs. Looking forward to your future videos.
My wife and I stayed at an Orvis week at Hubbards Ranch on the Yellowstone River. For a flyfisher it was out of this world. Hope you can get out west some day. Keep up the good work. Your nature shots at the beginning of the video is first rate.
Another great video ! Has alittle bit of everything. Love how you kept your cool and were able to smartly get your keys through that tiny crack. Talk about pressure. Then you brought us to a beautiful looking spot hoping for a big ole brown. That second one that was camera shy was a toad. Then you took us on an adventure. Awesome bushwack ! Glad you stayed with it and finally located some true native brookies. Loved the parr marks still on it. Nothing ventured , nothing gained. Great pereserverance yet again. Oh, and you saw my largest local stream brownie. It taped out at 25” out of Washington County. That thing 😊was a gator! I’ve caught bigger browns but they were L.Ontario tribs. which shouldn’t count. Btw, so glad to see you picking up where you left off. Looking forward to more and more!
Hey Dan, glad to see you out again! Happy to have contributed, love the content. You may not have even needed to lock the car, that manual transmission is it’s own anti theft device 😅. Biggest trout I think was about 15-16 rainbow.
18" rainbow. Nice to see some dry dry/dropper action again. Ive gotten pretty big into blue lining for catskill brookies over the last couple of years, then hit the main stems on the way home for evening hatch
Love to see the areas you fish since I grew up on the east coast. Biggest trout I've caught was about an 18 inch brown on the Green River in Utah. Cheers.
21" brown from the ole hometown creek! Good to see you slinging the streamers around and carrying on after the recent struggle. Would love to know where that big pool is located!!! Keep up the good work. 👍
Hi Dan...enjoyed your video. Biggest trout I ever caught was an 18" rainbow in the dark in a Willowemoc tributary. To this day, I believe that trout was sick, because he did not put up any kind of fight like rainbows usually do. He just swam towards me and surrendered.
When there's a sofa near a stream, it's usually a spinning fisherman and these guys stay on the spot till it's empty. Nice to see you back in shape NY video angler. Even one's in a wild, it's fun to follow you, but the day you bring your rocking chair you loose me for sure, Ha! If i win, sell them and keep the money. For Canada it's to complicated and expensive.
Biggest trout I’ve ever caught was a fatty of a brown at 23”. It was in a very narrow river bend tuck up under a rock ledge - surprised the hell outta me as initially I thought I was caught up on the bottom! Anyway, glad to see you back!
@@jacobhorner6503 hmmmm WBD is tough fishing for beginners! I would suggest LONG leader 13-15 feet minimum this time of year. And don’t get caught up with using 2 flies at once or anything complicated. Use a small pheasant tail nymph and just focus and presenting that 1 fly the best you can. I would also recommend making a drive in the fall when water temps cool to some stocked fish areas and sharpen skills on stocked trout
Glad that you are out of that funk you were in. I locked myself out of my car a few times over the years. What I do is have a spare key and its safety pin in one of the pockets of my fishing bag. Throw the key in your bag it's cheap insurance. My best Rainbow was on the San Juan R. NM 34 inches and a good 15 lbs.
22" Brown out of the N. Branch of the Saranac but the BEST fish was when I out my 9 yo son on his FIRST Brook Trout. A 12" out of a little stream in the Moose River Plains. (Western ADK for sure)
A month ago I had my bachelor party in Montana/Yellowstone and caught a 22 inch brown trout on the Gallatin River using a size 14 rusty spinner. It bent the hook so much it was basically unusable!
@@DownstreamDownrangeforgot to add this to the comment but biggest trout I've caught was 0 inches cuz imjust getting into it and hope to put those flies to good use 😂
@@DownstreamDownrange I just went down to schroon river and we caught 2 fall fish and got soke bites from smallmouth and who knows what else vut we did not catch any trout. We used spinners and spoons. We were fishing off the red dock. Any recommendations for baits or anything to use there for next time. I also may get a fly rod soon for my birthday if I think I'll use it.
@@jimtom4878 it can be as hard as you make it! The key will go jjst almsot enjoy the early struggles and quit before you get a hang of it!!!! Don’t get too stressed ! Maybe have days where you bring both rods. Fly for a while and if you need a break cast spin rod a bit
Yea it was white knuckles the whole time LOL. Caught it on an ISO nymph in skinny riffles. Jumped twice, shocked each time that it didn't come off, barbless hook.@@DownstreamDownrange

Glad you're back! Didn't have a tape but caught a 20ish brown on a tiny VT stream this spring, totally took me by surprise.
Wow!
Hey! Another awesome video glad to see you’re still able to make videos. Longest trout I caught was a 25” brown trout
Wow! 25! Nice
It’s always great when you have time to explore new water. 32” brown
Holy crap!
Great to see you back on the stream. Large trout was on Montana Yellowstone River….18 inches.
What a cool place that must be!

22 inches is my biggest. That stream looks awesome
That’s an amazing catch
For breaking into your vehicle, it's a good idea to wrap a coat hanger or stiffer wire under the chassis.
Good idea 👍

Great stuff as always Dan… For me, 17” brown on the Neversink, and for Steelhead in Pulaski…..31”.
You fired up for salmon river !?!?
@@DownstreamDownrange getting prepped.
@@MrJewrican sick!
27 inch rainbow.. beautiful area there..
Giant !!!!
What part of the Catskills? I grew up in the Catskill great brook trout fishing. I grew up in a little town called Jefferson. Miss the fishing there
This was the upper area!
I always drop my keys on the ground and make it the last item I put in my vest.
Smart!!!
Biggest Brook trout I ever caught in Catskills was 13 inches in ADIRONDACKS 18 INCHES
V
21 inch brown. Farmington River Barkhamsted, CT People's Forest area. Early spring on a stone fly
Nice one !!!!!
24” rainbow !
😳😳😳😳👍👍👍
A month ago I had my bachelor party in Montana/Yellowstone and caught a 22 inch brown trout on the Gallatin River using a size 14 rusty spinner. It bent the hook so much it was basically unusable!
I bet that’s a wicked cool place !
27.5” female brown trout
wow! thats huge
Nice man

@@vec206 hmmm I’m not familiar with spinning gear, definitely get a fly rod
It was with you! We didn’t get a good look at it but maybe 17-20 inches?
Which one !?!?!?!?
@@DownstreamDownrangethat rainbow in the esopus. It’s mark pelton haha.
Gotta fish every section. Leaving us wanting to see the spot you stopped at. 🤨😅
Only so much time in a day
Awesome intro
Thanks !!!!
That first fish you landed was 100% a wild trout
Shallow isn't worth it? I saw a 6#+ brook trout in water 6 inch deep water at my secret spot in Minnesota.
This ain’t minn
I am going up to the catskills / adirondacks where is a good place to find resources on streams?
Recourse ???
@DownstreamDownrange resources, my bad.
14” brown. Looking for bigger!
That’s a very solid fish man!
My biggest trout is only 16” rainbow…
Solid !!
5” rainbow 😂
Hahah better than no trout !!!!
22 inch rainbow.
Nice one
PB stream trout is a 17” Brown
VERY solid
Im definitely gpnna get some of your flies and im gonna start using flys on a spinning reel i saw someone do it on youtube😂
Gonna
@@jimtom4878 sweet! You could even use some on a spin rod ! If you really had too
@@DownstreamDownrange yeah thats the plan til I learn to flyfish I'd imagine it's harder to get tje hang if than traditional fishing
@@DownstreamDownrange the hang of*^

Biggest was a 19" rainbow on the West Branch.
Dang that must have taken some line !!
Yea it was white knuckles the whole time LOL. Caught it on an ISO nymph in skinny riffles. Jumped twice, shocked each time that it didn't come off, barbless hook.@@DownstreamDownrange
@@michaelcapurso that’s wicked !!!
Best in a stream was 19 inches, in a lake 28"
Both are awesome!
The Catskills have a real problem with their native trout populations. Those waters should be full of trout.
@@jaygold4467 completely agree
12 inch rainbow
Solid !
19” brown
Great catch 👍👍
20in rainbow
Niceeeee
21 inches unless you include fall run fish.
21 is giant! How big are your fall run ????
Nope… nope. What a joke.
This video should just been called a regular day of fishing….Of course you have to go up into the mountain section for the real brook trout! Lazy
34" brown on the salmon river was my best trout
That’s a giant !
