I spent 3 days fly fishing for big brown trout! It ended up being the most insane 3 days of fishing I've had in a long time!
It’s finally spring, or I should say it finally feels like spring… and that’s my favorite time to start looking for big brown trout. Between the hatches starting to pop, the suckers and chubs running up rivers and creeks to spawn, and the water warming up there is no better time to be fishing. What you’re about to watch is 3 of the best days of fishing I’ve had in a long time. Welcome back to another episode of Hardman fishing adventures.
Yep, I lost a big one. Which happens from time to time… especially when you don’t retie after catching a different big fish less than 45 minutes prior. But after that, the last hour of fishing went by pretty much uneventfully. I mean I caught probably 5 or 6 other fish, but all of them were rainbows. I think a catch and cook is on the list of videos I need to do next month.
So this video was shot over the course of 3 weeks, So I’m not sure if this next day I went out was the next week or a few days later because I didn’t keep track of the actual days. But as you’re about to see, it was just as incredible as the last.
Somehow I was able to actually land all of the big fish I hooked on this particular day, something I had failed to do on day 1. It’s amazing what happens when you learn from your mistakes… and when you use 4x instead of 5x tippet.
Day 3 of fishing was the warmest day I had fished. The sun was high in the sky but so was the water was also high. I don’t usually like to target brown trout in these conditions but I figured since the fishing had been so good I’d still be able to find one. Luckily I was able to catch one big brown trout and even lucked into a golden trout!
I hope you guys enjoyed this longer form video. It was a lot of fun to put together and I caught a ton of trout from brook trout, to brown trout, to rainbow trout, and even found a golden trout. Thanks for watching!!
