The Sonic sound was an epic touch to the video. Looking forward to seeing the EPF grub in action soon. Chtrout season is almost here! Can’t wait to use my swims I got from you at the convention!
Hermano muchos brown trout love the video carnal I wish I had brown trout down here in Houston muchos large mouth bass but glad to see you having a good time.
Let's go!!! Been waiting for a trout video. This is actually funny, because literally yesterday, I searched your old trout videos to see if you ever fished valley creek. I fished it once last year when I went to see the national dog show at the expo center, but I didn't cat anything. Maybe the next time I'm by Philly I'll check it out again.
I had a killer day on wild brown and brook in Delco yesterday. I had 3 brook and 2 brown. On fly. Not Ridley btw. Also had 2 monster crappie 1 lmb 2 smb if that helps narrow it down.
Chester County Represent! Glad to see you in my neck of the woods. Hit me up the next time you're in the area and I'll pay for lunch or something. Tight lines!
I've been waiting for this video ever since you did that livestream a while back. Also I already said this but I finally got my first epf swims and the grub, I'm so excited. I will hopefully eslay those stocked trout, bass and crappie.
😂🤣 yea using wax worms in a wild trout stream is educational. KIDS CAN DO THIS. BAIT IS CHEATING. Should teach how to use artificial only in CATCH AND RELEASE SECTIONS.
Hey Leo, there was a water main break next to Valley about a month ago, which may explain the dead fish. A significant number of trout died from the chlorine and sediment. I was there Monday in the park and I did not see as many fish as I normally do. Take care and great video.
Weird question Leo. I see you get into the water alot w your shoes/pants on. Do you drive home without changing? I just hate wet feet myself 9 times outta 10
I've been thinking- you prolly don't need too many ideas for videos but i think you would be a good teacher to do species spotlights. Like bluegill- what it eats what eats it and how to catch them- different types of baits and rods You can milk every fish and make it a series lol
starting to think i need to rethink my early season tactics for browns, euro tackle soft plastics small spinners, rapalas and worms tend to get a few and far between but waxxys i havent tryed those edit: for refrence i was the guy who caught that 2lb speckled on a epf swim last year, sent ya the pics on IG at the time
i live in the town right above valley forge and ive never fished in valley creek because i thought it was fly fishing and artificial lures onlyand i use spinning reels
Valley is ‘Catch and Release All Tackle’. From the PFBC: “Fishing may be done with artificial lures, flies or streamers, natural bait, baitfish and fishbait. Spinning or fly fishing gear may be used in these areas.”
@@jferr7691 yes, there is a sign in the park about it. But it's not online. To get the rules you have to go the office, or call them. But they do have their own regulations. I got talked to because they thought I was using bait cause I had my spinning gear but I was using artificial
I cannot get the browns here in Michigan to eat wax worms in my local creeks. They will smash corn, minnows, small plastics, but not waxies. I dont understand.
Aaaahhh, interesting. Thanks for the info, I also thought they were indigenous to North America. Great Video!! I'll have to start reading all of your descriptions.
Just and FYI, it is illegal to fish with bait in that location. Also, its also generally unethical to fish wild trout with bait. Considering its a rarity around here you should really consider artificial. For more info regarding the rules, go see the federal wardens who patrol that area
I actually called the PA Fish and Boat Commission and spoke to a state game warden before exploring/fishing this location. I always do my research before hand. Nothing in this video is illegal at all. The Valley Creek and its tributaries are classified as an "Catch and Release All Tackle" stream. It is called *all tackle* for a reason. The only exception to it is when you are fishing in the Valley Forge National Historical Park. Within the Park, no live or organic bait is allowed at all. As for your comments on ethics, your opinion has been heard. It is subjective, but I respect it -- every one is entitled to fish however they wish.
And by the way, BigWrig -- I appreciate you keeping an eye out for the regulations out there, Brother! Feel free to use the PA Fish and Boat interactive map to find out the different types of streams + regulations in PA: pfbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=65a89f6592234019bdc5f095eaf5c6ac If you are still convinced that there are illegal activities in this video, please forward this video to the appropriate law enforcement offices and have them contact me. Thank you!
@@extremephillyfishing not to drag this out but in the valley forge rules it states all tributaries and valley creek and nothing on where it starts and stops, while it maybe legal for state, it's not legal federal level. It's weird but I have gotten a speeding ticket around valley forge from valley cops even tho I wasn't in the park boundaries and that's a federal speeding ticket. I have seen valley cops up that way in that parking lot you probably parked at. Just more of an FYI and I have no intention on calling the cops on anyone. But I will tell you that you made a lot of enemies from this video, I get crap from guys there for spin fishing I can't imagine what's going on in their head seeing someone with live bait
With all due respect, BigWrig Outdoors, your facts are not straight. I own a membership of the XHunt App., which shows me all land parcels in Pennsylvania -- who owns them, and what are their limits. The federal rules that you mention apply only to the parcel of land that consists of the Valley Forge National Historical Park. Anyone who tells you otherwise don't know what they are talking about. The limit of their land rights is the I-76 (Federal lands are North of it). The particular fishing spot where I was fishing at in this video is owned by a non-profit organization called "Chesterbrook Parcel 19 Master Association," which gives access to anglers, hikers, and everyone else who wishes to use the land. As for your last remarks -- I am okay with making a lot of enemies. Haha. I never wanted to be friends with anyone who thinks that way anyways. LOL. The bottom-line is...(1) I haven't done anything unlawful. (2) The Valley Creek is no secret -- it is even listed in the PA Fish and Boat Commission booklet of Trout Waters, and if it was such a "big secret," I wouldn't have found out about it back in 2016. I have my PA Fishing License and I contribute to Trout stamps every year. I am also a member of the Montgomery Chapter of Trout Unlimited. My videos are educational, besides entertaining -- thus, I am constantly teaching my following on rules and regulations, safe fish handling, and so on. Now...If people hate the way I fish or hate me for my job, I am cool with that. The world is fun because we are all different at the end of the day.
@@extremephillyfishing it's definitely not a secret and I never said it was, I've been fishing in this area my whole life and know of that area pretty well and it gets fished pretty hard. I haven't fished there this year for my personal belief in not trying to stress those fish anymore due to the spill that happened but to each their own. This area has a lot of creeks with natural trout in them to include brooks but we should try our best to lessen our burden on these fish by fishing as ethical as possible. At the end of the day, all I care about is conservation and not petty spot battles but we do have a lot of poachers in our area. I have caught a few on valley creek itself in the past.
why do they let people fish with bait in a catch and release only river ? everyone knows they swallow bait and the first one Leo caught swallowed it and i bet the one dead in the water did the same if i plan on releasing my fish i never fish bait especially for trout.
Good question, Mark. Forward that question to the PA Fish and Boat Commission: www.fishandboat.com/AboutUs/Pages/ContactUs.aspx and let me know what they say.
@@extremephillyfishing it's illegal to fish in that location with bait as it's federally mandate not state, to look up the rules you must go to valley forge office and request information not PA B&C

Leo, you’ve been killing it lately with the quality and quantity of great fishing contact. Your endeavors are always appreciated!
Man that sonic music when the chrowt was out of the water was too perfect. Love what you do brother.
5:28 The sound effect LOLLL 😂😂😂
😂😂 his fishing & editing is fantastic
@@GoPackGoMan7 Ikr this video has some of the most innovative edits so far 😆

I liked the out of water timer.
I love the sonic out of water timer sound!
Super cool trout!!!
Dude keep up the amazing work these past few trips and videos have been amazing!
The Sonic sound effect really makes it
That God it's spring. Good to see some EPF Creek fishing again.
Leo this is crazy man! All these uploads! So awesome!
Can’t wait to do some trout fishing myself this spring!

Awe hell yeah. Bout to order up some EPF grubs. Leo is very strategic with his video drops. The man is methodical.
Except for forgetting the bag of EPF grubs. lol
😂🤣

My hat is off to you Leo. I tried fishing for wild Browns in Centre County and they wouldn't hit anything.
Layoooo i need to catch me a brown chrout lol, hopefully i will this year
I saw wild browns and I clicked real fast!
According to TH-cam I'm first sweet. Ready for another banger.
Except TH-cam was wrong.
As always, v educational & respectful!
It blows my mind how people on here try to find literally anything to nag to you about smh

Hey EPF! Awesome video! I fish there all the time! There was a recent spill that killed a lot of fish. That is most likely why there was a dead fish.
I think someone else mentioned that under the comments as well, OutdoorD Fishing...which is truly a shame! Thanks for letting me know, Brother.
The friggin timer with the music is too much 🤣😄🤣
the trout eslayer in action
Digging that Sonic drowning theme!
You know it, Sonicx360isback.
Got my grubs!! Can’t wait to smash some fish with them and my EPF swims this summer!
Didn't know brown wild trout were called Sea Trout
Weird question Leo. I see you get into the water alot w your shoes/pants on. Do you drive home without changing? I just hate wet feet myself 9 times outta 10
I use waterproof socks up to my knees, Aaron. Hyperlink to the product is in the description of the video. 😉

@@jferr7691 Thanks I didn't know that
@@jferr7691 not in the stretches that are inside valley forge tho, different rules for federal lands
@@BigWrigOutdoors Do you have a source? I can’t find anything from VFNP saying that about regulations there.

Leo you'd be great trading spots with me, I only see white suckers and like 2 wild browns
In my area young brown trout often get mistaken for brook trout because of the white stripe on the fin . Can you address this Mr. EPF?
I see, Wayne. If I ever fish a place where wild Browns mingle with Wild/Native Brook Trout, I will definitely address it.
Lol Sonic 2!
Nice catch, Daniel.
Also valley creek has had 2 sewage spills in the last 8 years
I cannot get the browns here in Michigan to eat wax worms in my local creeks. They will smash corn, minnows, small plastics, but not waxies. I dont understand.
Different environments, different eating behaviors, I think, T F. 😅
You the man Leo! Appreciate the feedback!
Wax worms are Trout Candy brotha, been crushing them for years with them, Try Butter worms even better
You labeled that first fish sea trout (wild), just curious, I'm assuming you know something I don't.
I addressed that in the description of the video, Rob.
Aaaahhh, interesting. Thanks for the info, I also thought they were indigenous to North America. Great Video!! I'll have to start reading all of your descriptions.
You called them sea trout in your closing comments ...js
And compared the brown trout wild to a stocked and the photo was a sea trout
That is correct, Leo Schumacher. I addressed that in the description of the video.

Why do you call brown trout sea trout
Because my social media platforms follow fishbase.org's common names and scientific names as a template.
So are we going to have iusse getting epf plastics got them in mtb and I saw it was made is Russia 😂
