What Are These BIG TROUT Doing in Such a Tiny Creek?? (Tenkara Fly Fishing)

Personally I think watch a fly line curving over the water and so gently laying a fly down is beautiful and so peaceful. It really doesn't take much effort to learn, it all timing. Tenkara Fly Fishing, to me, smacks of a worm on a hook attached to a bamboo pole, Yeah I know artificial flies are used and requiring some technique , but that is what it reminds me of.

My favorite kind of fishing/hunting. So much strategy involved in it. So satisfying to catch each fish.

I use 1/4 sticks and a net downstream

I fish little creeks in the Pocono Mountains in PA. Always amazed by how wide open the mountain stream of the west are. Use a heavier tippet next time. Trout are not as line shy as they’re given credit for being.

I love small technical creeks like this, you never know what is lurking in the crevices!

Very nice tiny creek with beautiful fish.

That is the kind of creek that desperately needs beavers… the entire bottom of that valley used to be stream, their removal is what incised the stream to just a cut. It would alter the fishing, for sure, but there is SO MUCH ground that could be saturated with just a foot of added water height.

I'd like to see you hit that stream again with a better rod. Now you know what it's capable of producing.

Was is always huge LOL

that is a good question. "What Are These BIG TROUT Doing in Such a Tiny Creek" ... and you haven't seen hide nor hair of them

Great videos. I live in Ketchum, Idaho. Have been fly fishing past couple of years and just got into tenkara fishing this summer. I have caught the tenkara bug now and have two rods. Having a lot more success with tenkara. Sawtooth Lake, Warm Springs creek, bigwood and big lost river. You inspire me to explore all the smaller creeks in the area as well. Keep posting👍

Could be you need a reel to keep the line tight so you don’t lose so many fish..

I’m in Idaho also and have a little stream just like this 5 minutes from home.
Same deal. Tiny creek huge fish.

Visiting Bozeman I asked a local where some good spots were for fishing. They told me any of the litle irrigation canals that are all over. He said they hold some large fish that are happy to bite almost anything.

I love how fly fishermen are scared to eat fish they catch

U need to do this again

Some of my favorite fishing streams I've found in my entire life are tiny little ones in high desert looking environments like that. I've thought for years on how such big fish can live in such small streams, the best idea I've come up with is that it's the only water for miles and miles around, so all the bugs that need water for part of their life cycle, mating or reproduction or larval stage or whatever, are forced to use that one tiny stream, so even though it's tiny, it has a much higher than average food supply, which supports larger than average fish.

Damn

Thats crazy!
Awesome video 👍

I wonder if braided line would work a a main line ? seems like it would be good

it looks like that tiny creek might be 2-4 ft deep....

These spring creeks are my least favorite water bodies, man (followed closely by those silty, quicksandy marshes). Since so much of the water is underground, under your feet…these pockets of nothingness show up completely unannounced and you can easily go “BOINK”. You have to step soooo carefully and use a wading staff to check your spots when you arrive at a potentially sketchy area. I was fishing a particularly holey spring creek last year and legitimately thought I was going to lose a boot. One leg dipped down past my knee and my entire leg got swallowed by the earth. I must’ve spent 5-10 minutes wiggling my foot loose, fighting the suction, trying not to lose my rubber soled simms freestone during its first season 🤦‍♂️

When the flies came off the line, were they stuck on the trout's lip/mouth?

horrible landing techniques

Wow...that's so seriously skinny water...great day out!

I like to hear that line sing! The tug is the drug

perfect video on how NOT to catch fish, why post a video catching nothing, I can do that lol

started tenkara- just cheap rods before covid under $20 stuff- bought 5 half broke learning the limits of the rod- but hundreds of fish-as no very few fish close to shore, they want to cast line 100 feet out--

makes me smile!😀

Awesome video. My family’s has property in south fork co I fish tiny run offs from the rio grande just as small and it amazes me the size of fish you find in them!!

Beautiful

This beautiful little creek may not be wide, but it looks kinda deep and fish live in a 3D environment.

Honestly the video is very fuzzy I couldn't watch much of it

I use a 15 ft cane pole

We all have days like this, such is the nature of flyfishing 😁

I dont think the entire state of Maine has a stream/river where you can catch 20in trout. Maybe one or two but not really and certainly not in a stream THAT size. How does one state have trout like that in a foot-wide cow stream and another state have nothing like it even it its best streams/rivers?

I feel bad for trout fishos in the USA there fish are tiny no offense

A mouse pattern ..whoosh..would bring 25. Out .

Sorry to be a killjoy but every time I click on this channel, all I seen to watch is you catching one or two smaller fish, telling us how big the ones are that you're losing and then I change channels because that's all I see in the first 5 minutes is you losing fish after fish after fish after fish. I know that's part of the deal but it seems like every video I've watched I end up getting halfway through and leave because you keep losing and losing and losing. I hope you're more successful on the second half of your videos that I never watch.

The last 10 days i have targeted this 1 specific male brown and hes very smart...for the size of my local creek this guy is about 19 inches so hes big to me lol

I’ve tried this. It was a humbling experience. I got one and it was similar to this.

Looks great but why can't you seem to hook and land many?

I find creeks like this and say. Id like to me the guys that catch fish in these ditches. Theres fish here just not for me

I just love your videos dude... And your voice is Uber relaxing too... I just want u to keep on talking and I find I don't even care if u catch one .. I JUST DONT WANT U TO STOP TALKING ...LOL... NICE WORK TRISTAN

That water is so clear, amazing what lives in there!!

so amazing how accurate you are with your casting

Big trout? Lol, they look small too me

awesome day!!!
huge fish man!

tiny Creek lunker that's more like a goddamn minner!!!!!!
