Nice, D & D. Very nice video. Nice fish as well. I think that's the hydro plant at 34 sec that I worked at a few years back, pre retirement. Stayed at the Hungry Trout!
A fly fishing and mukbag channel at once! Really beautiful browns through out the video enjoyed seeing them and to finish it off with that nice brown, way to go! Glad you’re doing a brook trout series. Even though brookies are small their something I enjoy watching caught more then other species.
@@DownstreamDownrange you got it man! You know I love fly fishing and good videos. Just got back from a good trip my self working on the video. You’ll like it !
Hey Dan! That was a great day and great video! I guess you caught that last beautiful brown on a dry? Fished the Ausable only once many years ago, I think the fish look darker because of the tannic stain of the water. Nice job 👍🏻
I couldn't see what dry fly you used for the beautiful Brown Trout that you caught at the end. This time of year, I would think you used a Light Cahill, or maybe an Adams.
Nice one at the buzzer man! That was a heck of a dry fly eat too! I got up there this year but not with a fly rod... It is on my list to spend some time up there! This whole work thing gets in the way of our fun 😂 Early retirement maybe? 😀
Haha he ate a fat Albert ! …..yes you gotta get up at least once I’m headed back Wednesday to catch that hige brown I found. Let’s do a fall trip up there one day. I think people would really enjoy the video ! Tight lines Brian
That hill trail would have been the demise of Slayermike LOL I have to learn to fly fish! I tied a red, white, and blue fly and would love to try it out, I was in a small creek yesterday and the air temp was 92 but the creek temp was 54-55 all I caught was one brook trout the creek was 3-4 feet wide with a heavy overhang That area is sure beautiful too
Wow!! Great footage of one of my all-time favorites rivers from years past(approx. 40 years) We used to have 20-30 fish days there and rainbows were more prevalent as well ,but the big browns ruled. This river was taught to me from none other than Francis Betters, miss stopping in to see him before and after fishing the river.. this river has many being large holdovers, android natural reproduction, so it was great to see that your perseverance,yet again, paid off in hooking and landing that nice brownie ! That fish really looked like a wild stream born brown!! Congrats! . And at the bell ,as you were winding down and ready to hit the road. But….man, that wicked huge slammer you had on briefly ,rolled and boiled enough to show his size. You know better than anyone what a big bruin looks and feels like even at that distance. Go back as soon as you can ,he`ll be there , one smart fish ,but I have confidence you'll fool him.
Here's another idea , a solo self float of the mainstem Delaware, Shehawken to Buckingham accesses. It's only 5 miles, but plenty of room and a laughably easy float. Stash canoe or Kayak at Shehawken, drive downstream with a MT bike or moped. Park Car, ride bike up to boat, chain up bike, float, then load boat on car, drive back upstream to pick up the bike. I had an amazing time, pods of big rainbows gently sipping size 18 olives. And no ego battles with snarky guides.
Raised in Saranac Lake, Love the fishing in the area. Relocated to Western North Carolina. If you havent had the chance to fish The Davidson River or Mills River. Highly recommend. Keep them lines tight
Thats how they got so big,and they are there, i know a guy who has 5, 7 pound browns mounted over his fire place in butler NJ,courtesy of the hawks nest and mongaup river region,nite fishing.
all the big ones have TURNED wild, the juveniles feed during sun up. Signed,the Jersey fishin pro. keep fishin the adirondacks,ill definatly watch, theres 10 pounders in there galore,very hard to catch,they are just too smart,until ya master nite fishing,make sure your carrying,lmao.
always run a march brown spider wet as a trailor 20 inches behind the first fly , this represents 5 different emerging may flies an emerging caddis , this has upped my catch by thousands of fish over the years , try it ,it works
A truly amazing river. I only fished it once though. Perfect weather today OMG. Oh, But nooo, I'm huffing a huge salad and fishing vicariously through some kid on You Tube. They released a ton of water on the Farmy so maybe that will douche all the snot off the rocks so I won't fall down anymore. If you come back here and get tired of the (wait for it...) mental retardation , and haven't done so yet, check out Sandy Brook off Sandy Brook Road , left turn off RT 8 just above the weird sawmill-junkyard. There might be enough water in it to be interesting. It's gorgeous , and could be included in your small stream adventures. It has tons of sculpins, according to a DEP dude , so you can mindlessly hurl muddlers. It's a boulder-workout stream, so bring extra slices to munch on. Hmm, I wonder how long a drive to Au Sable versus the Farmy from Albany...
Hey my friend !!!! Yes and some how more rain coming ! WILL IT STOP!?!? …. Farmy is shorter drive by about 15 minutes depending how far down river I do!!!!! Thanks for watching I’ll check that out !!!!
@@DownstreamDownrange Yeah I've been more interested in foraging and mushrooming lately. Sandy Brook drains from a swamp way up in MA and it's super clean. It HAS to have some wild browns in it, and springs for cold relief. Deep pools, boulders, Bigfoots, rattlesnakes. Various mill dam ruins. 10 minutes from Riverton. Leadmine Brook is also on my radar. Access near the famous haunted cemetery lol. The Blue Lady!
(when I fished Sandy last I caught 7500 12 inch browns and bows, they had stocked the shit out of it. Gorgeous looking fish, Kudos DEP, but I got tired of that, I should have explored farther upstream .
D&D Gang!!! Get ready for Ausable part 2!!!! MONSTER BROWN! Subscribe and I’ll see you guys next!
Awesome trip bud !!!! Beauty trout to end the day ! And a pretty good food review too 😉 Thanks for taking us along
Appreciate you watching!!
Man, what a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing! I was just up here snowboarding. Flyfish in Jersey streams but this is on my bucket list
Snowboarding at whiteface ????
Nice, D & D. Very nice video. Nice fish as well. I think that's the hydro plant at 34 sec that I worked at a few years back, pre retirement. Stayed at the Hungry Trout!
Yes!!!! Great 👍
You have to love it when you end the day on a nice fish, great video Dan! And great lead into the next video!
Hey brother !!! Thanks !!! Tight lines out there 🤘
Great video Dan, some really nice browns in the hoop! The Ausable is on my list of rivers to fish in the near future. Tight lines!
Hey Brian! Thanks ! Headed back tomorrow !!! Unfinished business with that MONSTER BROWN!!!!

Great way to end the day with that beautiful brown !
Yes I was very happy! Thanks for watching
So looking forward to heading up there..........tomorrow!!!
Hiking ? Or ? …. I ask because the river is only 100 CFS and 75 degrees, it’s not fishable for trout right now at all
Fantastic video. Love the underwater shots. Great fishing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching my man! Back up
There Wednesday to hunt down some mega fish
@@DownstreamDownrange nice! Catskills for me this weekend. Tight lines man.
@@sippingrises7669 best of luck ! Hope you get a 20
Points for the food review! LOL. Nice catches as always. Great ending.
😅😅😅…. Thanks !
Hey Dan! That was a great day and great video! I guess you caught that last beautiful brown on a dry? Fished the Ausable only once many years ago, I think the fish look darker because of the tannic stain of the water. Nice job 👍🏻
That last fish ate a hopper ! Fat Albert (Tan) ! Yes it’s a unique fishery! 🤘🤝
I couldn't see what dry fly you used for the beautiful Brown Trout that you caught at the end. This time of year, I would think you used a Light Cahill, or maybe an Adams.
A fat Albert !!! HOPPER !!!
@@DownstreamDownrange Haha! Not even close! Guess ,those bigger boys have big appetites at times.
I'm heading to the Ausable 9/4-7, my first time. Going with flies from R.Strolis' book. Your thoughts...

I didn't get to do any fishing but I was on Ausable Thursday at the Chasm. Going to fish it next year and a bunch of other places in New York.
Yes! Give it a go! You’ll enjoy it

Besides, now you have his address, just hope the river temps. stay low enough for you… good luck bud!!
Yes!!!! Just wait !!! I have backup coming for part 2! Should be an UNBELIEVABLE video!
@@wildbrookies 🤝🤝🤝
My biggest brown was taken up from Monument, a black wooly bugger in August no less.
Happy ending…haha. Love how you had the whole river to yourself.
Yes!!! Part 2 soon!!!
@@DownstreamDownrange Yes! Really ,interesting how I never even seen one other fisherman or human! Haha!!
Beautiful fish! Thanks for the vid
Thanks for watching 🤝
@@DownstreamDownrange 👊
great fish great shot.!!!!
Hey randy ! Thanks 🙏
Nice going Dan ! Sold brown in the end !
Thanks 🙏
Nice. I like it. Nothing fancy. Just good fishing.
Appreciate that! More to come
Hey Man, sick vids! Quick one: earlier in the vid you tied your DHSH and a “micro streamer.” Assume the nymph was the dropper right?
Yes !!! Nymph was on there !
Livin a blessed life!
Haha 🤘🤘

5-7! Wow
Awesome video as Always 😎
Thanks 🙏🤘🤝
Very cool my friend big like 👍
Hey John! Thanks
I still use a rod and rell. but those fly guys More power to them.
Either way! Fun stuff
Should've fed that last brownie a couple of meal worms for his effort. Nice work getting him in with the borderline temps.
Hahahahahah 😅😅 I should
Bring a Can …headed back Wednesday to find the TRUE monster
@@DownstreamDownrange Hell why not. It'd be like getting alien abducted with a visit to the ice cream man to finish. We owe them that much! 😁
@@fishingreich hahahahah! Yep 👍
Nymphing rod and the 9' 5 wt.. got it all covered eh.
Got too!!!! I’ll be back up there soon
all the big ones have TURNED wild, the juveniles feed during sun up.
Signed,the Jersey fishin pro.
keep fishin the adirondacks,ill definatly watch, theres 10 pounders in there galore,very hard to catch,they are just too smart,until ya master nite fishing,make sure your carrying,lmao.
Certainly could be! I’ve come across a few fish pushing 5lb but that’s about it
The big browns are too smart
Yes!
always run a march brown spider wet as a trailor 20 inches behind the first fly , this represents 5 different emerging may flies an emerging caddis , this has upped my catch by thousands of fish over the years , try it ,it works
Good tip! Will try that!
Always carry 2 rods when wading?
It sucks! Makes about 2-3 times slower always having to go back and forth to the bank but yes when I’m out filming I bring the full Arsenal!
@@DownstreamDownrange yeah I could see how. I'm hesitant to do it.
Hmmm maybe a 10' 4 wt that'll do both lol.
@@mikdin1 yes! That could do everything from dries to a wooly bugger
@@DownstreamDownrange heck yeah.
@@mikdin1 tight lines man 🤘
whats the record brown outta the Ausable?
Idk! I assume a big Stockie 😅
Them red dots on them browns man,its like ya just snagged a gold bar, practice catch n release,yahooo
Absolutely!

Man eating spiders,lmao,hate them things,

Hahaha
Wow
