A Couple Days of Creek Fishing in the Mountains (Tenkara Fly Fishing) 

Love that you kept the fall into the creek in the video. Wading is an art with uncomfortable consequences.

Thanks for sharing Tristen, glad you were not skunked. I always love the fishing.

What a beautiful stream. Reminds me of the Eastern Sierras.

Fished my first stream yesterday here in Scotland in the Tenkara way. Almost 40 years rod and reel, and I'm loving Tenkara for the brown trout as much as the streams I'd overlooked for so long. Thankyou for your inspiring videos, tips and the odd nugget of advice, you're a top guy :)

By my quick count this is the 45th video to feature the Mizuchi; only the second to feature the Ukiyo. Thanks for sharing!

Tristen, thank you for showing the falls along with the good fishing.. As a old Disabled Lady who actually falls two or three times a trip.. gives me hope. My first excursion to the Tri-Basin area was difficult and the only fish I caught were Browns... Wyoming access for the Disabled is very challenging. Destiny

#1 Thanks for sharing your adventures!!Keep em coming!!!

I wish streams and rivers here in Ireland were as clean as those over there. We have very few rivers left here now that are not polluted. Honestly breaks my heart when I watch your videos, as I remember when most of Irelands waterways were like this. Sorry Tristan, your videos put a smile on my face, but I had to get that out there.

It seems you were getting better results in sunlight. Cool little creek by the highway.

“Fishing new creeks is my favorite thing.” I’m with you 100%. Nothing like the excitement of exploration, the anticipation of good looking habitat, and the thrill of what’s lurking around the next bend in the creek. Well done sir.

Well , not a lot of trout here in Texas , but , if you fall in , the waters warm . I have " accidently " fallen in many times in the middle of summer ! Not a ton of fish this time , but , some mighty fine scenery , and , no people . The parks where I usually fish are full of screamin kids , barkin dogs and weirdos ! I'd watch just for the scenery and serenity , catchin fish is a bonus . Thanks for takin us along 😎👍👍

It’s amazing to be on such a beautiful creek and there’s no fish then fish a ditch line creek and have success great job again thanks

Cold dunks and lost flies, all part of the game. Beautiful water and fish. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

What kick when a bow-and-arrow cast yields a nice fish! Thank you for another great outing - loved that meadow creek!

Maybe I have missed it, but I would love to see you talk about how you fish a level line. All of it from the cast to how you choose to what it does on the water.

I also love finding success in a new creek or river. The struggle of discerning its structure and pools. But if I may share something that keeps me coming back to streams, a favorite quote; “no man steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.” -Heraclitus I also really love this kind of fishing because even the same stream is constantly changing, throughout the day the seasons and years. May fishing always bring you peace, perspective and happiness as it does me.

Maybe try felt bottoms with a few cleats.cheers,Chet

I thought you got new wading boots? Not as good as you'd hoped? First time I've seen you go down on video. Glad you're ok, thanks for the great content.

amazing

I've seen on another fishing video that fish and it looks like a tiger cutthroat fish. 🙂✌️👍🙏👋

Have TA you ever thought about doing saltwater tenkara 👀👀👀???

Last creek, cut-bow?

9’ level line on what length of the mizuchi? I just got my mizuchi and figuring it all out. Haven’t caught anything ,yet. But I’ll keep at it. Are you fishing the original mizuchi or the softer rod?

Great video -- were you utilizing the Mizuchi with the softer rod blanks? Or the original Mizuchi?

Those trout look to me like redband rainbow trout.

To me those trout look very much like Cutt-bows. Hard to tell though without being close up

What size flies are you typically fishing?

Beautiful creek. However, I have found that when the water is so Crystal Clear, it's too sterile for trout to live.

With respect to fish ID. Brook trout are char. Rainbows and cutthroat are true trout. To tell a char from a trout you can look at their spots - char have light spots (white or yellow to red) on a dark body, while trout have dark spots (brown to black) on a light body. Most of the fish caught from the small utah creek appeared to be cutthroat. I was unconvinced that any (with the possible exception of the 9-incher) were brook trout. You had the better look but ...

I'm not sure those fish on the last creek were cutthroats. I always identify cutthroat or cutbows by the red slash on their throat. Those looked like wild rainbows to me. Also, on that second creek, you started catching fish after losing that first fly. Maybe that pattern just wasn't working. I know you usually have success using just about any fly, but sometimes you do have to try something different. I often wonder why you don't fish dry flies more. Is it harder on the rods you use, or are they more of a pain to use? I like using dry flies when they work, and I just wonder why you don't use them.

How long of a leader and tippit do you use? Didn’t look very long Thx

Not sure what happened but I sent that twice . Sorry !
