This one was especially good! I echo how enjoyable it was to hear YOUR excitement. Don't have grizzlies in the smokies...just black bears which are not uncommon to encounter. Have you ever come upon a grizzly? You're really out there at times.
I don't know what was more exciting. Your excitement or the fishing itself lol!! I'm going to go with your excitement! Congratulations on such an amazing day on the water Tristan 🙌🏻. And thanks again for bringing us along on your adventures 🙏🏻🤙🏻😁

Great catching and great location. I’ve been viewing your videos for a very long time and it seems that no matter what fly you use you catch fish. Congratulations on a great trip. You deserve it. 😊
Maybe Bear Poop! But your infectious whoops of enthusiasm scared him off I'm sure. Nice catches! Best video so far? (and it wouldn't be Wyoming without wind....)
Just signed up for your website. Great resource! I live in N. UT and always looking for new and obscure campsites. Also getting back into fly fishing so looking forward to checking out some of your spots as well.
Great video, really enjoyed watching this and your others. Thanks for posting and showing what can be accomplished. You’ve definitely helped me and my wife grow an interest in Tenkara and we’re trying it now and learning with moderate success so far. We’re waiting for the stream season to open again in Oregon soon to get out some more. A question I have is are your hookups mainly by sight or feel? Or both?
The watch on my left wrist is a dumb watch (Casio DB-36, which I love). The band on the right is the Amazfit Band 5, which is the same thing as one of the Mi Bands, but I don't remember which one.
Wow! What a pool! They are clearly hungry from the long winter! Two species (golden and grayling) I have yet to catch! The sizes for that creek are also amazing! Also, can you post a pic of the fly? Thx!
Hi. Great video. I am front Ontario Canada and planning to start tenkara fishing for brook trout in the many streams we are blessed to have here! I am confused about the set up of the tenkara line. I have done the research and I see numerous recommendations to have a total line length of the rod length. I currently have a 12 foot rod, and the recommendations are to have a 2/3 of 12 feet, therefore 8 feet of 3.5x level line plus four foot of 5x leader. Does this set-up sound reasonable? I appreciate your insights on this. Dan.
My level lines are always more or less the length of the rod. And that's referring to the level line, not the line plus tippet. So in your situation, I'd have a 12 ft level line and 3 ft of tippet. 8 ft of level line is too short for a 12 ft rod.
Moose poop looks like a collection of brown golf balls scattered on the ground. That looked like bear poop to me. What sort of large animals inhabit the area? I've never seen golden trout before. Thanks.
Wow! What a jam-packed 30 minutes of fishing! Thanks for sharing it. According to my spreadsheet this is the 11th video in which you fished the FoxFire.
You keep a spreadsheet?! That's amazing. Send it to me if you can. There's a contact form here: suvrving.com/contact/. If you need to send it as an attachment, I'll reply to that message, and you can send it to that email address.
There are a lot of creek where I live buy also here is also bear area. So ı am afraid of going alone. As I see you are always alone . I am sure you carry bear spray but is it enough to save your life in case of any encounter ? Do you feel completely safe in these areas against bears ?
Brook trout are only native to the east coast and golden trout are different from a palomino and look nothing near a cutthroat if you’re gonna act like you know your stuff then actually know your stuff
Those were just brook trout. Golden trout are rainbows with albinism. They don’t have dark dorsal patterns. They can’t produce dark pigment. They were very cool fish though!
