In my first fishing foray of 2023, I head up into the mountains to fish a small creek. I had low, low expectations, but the fishing turned out to be awesome!

Nice fish!

@Cabmaker Год назад

That was a nice bow, looking forward to more of your adventures

@calebg7682 Год назад

It looks different with the snowscape, but I think I might recognize this creek from a spring/summer video you made a couple years back where you caught a large rainbow?

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

Here's the rod: amzn.to/3HS1AyY (And it's the 8'3''/9'6''/10'6'' one, not the longer one.) And here are the gloves: amzn.to/3Ioqho3 -Tristan (Also, those are Amazon affiliate links.)

@lancepearson62 Год назад

long time fly fisherman here...I have watched your videos and don't get the tankara...you pretty much are just going to catch tiny fish and have very limited range with them. What is it about this style of fishing a fly that fascinates you so?"

@tenkaraintheiowadriftless Год назад

Thanks Tristan. The consistent contrast in size between the two species was quite interesting. I appreciate your perseverance on such a chilly day!

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@calvinvesco9883 Год назад

I bet the browns are wild and the rainbows stocked

@vincentc6919 10 месяцев назад

These Kebari flies? Are they like a sub-surface type of fly. I'm just getting back into fly fishing and bought my first Tenkara and your videos have been great to watch. thank you.

@carybertoncini596 Год назад

Have you seen/tried the new Aventik Zeno S2-glass rods (on Amazon)? They look pretty sweet and can't beat the price :)

@machinegun3133 Год назад

you think that rod can handle a 10lb steelhead? Where I fish, the steelies range from 1lb to 20lbs but the average is about 3 to 5 lbs. In Ontario Canada. Great video btw... cheers!

@michaelsmith7193 Год назад

Quite an outing for a cold winter’s day! Well done - thank you for a very enjoyable adventure!

@Since-80s Год назад

hey man ive been binging your content its great! ill be buying a tenkara rod very soon and id really like your feedback, im tall, i live in missoula montana. What tenkara rod would be a great versatile rod mid range price. do you recomend 3 zoom rods? ill probably be fishing rattlesnake creek a lot, its a blue ribbon trout stream but it feels small and shallow in many places. say 10-15 feet wide. i was looking at the dragontail rods. theres a lot of bigger rivers around here too and id like something that works in general. thoughts?

@Hoggy1963 Год назад

SWEET. Great vid, as usual. Really enjoy your fishing adventures and reviews

@zisontheriver Год назад

Awesome little winter creek! Are the flies extra weighted or just yarn? Thanks for the video!

@pinoyRN67 Год назад

Where is this located at

@baronguinther3140 Год назад

Thanks for the review of the maxcatch triple zoom (smaller size). I just bought it and am excited to try it. I’ll probably have to wait for summer though. Seems fishing streams and rivers in Washington isn’t legal until May in most of them.

@adriansagan2562 Год назад

Great video. Always impressive to see fish on the dry in winter. I’m in MT and have been fishing subsurface. You’ve encouraged me to put on a dry fly today!

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

Go for it!

@CountryCrittersofLI Год назад

Hi tristan ive heard when the air temp is below freezing its extremely important to NOT take the fish out of the water. Reason being the cold air damages their gill filaments when wet.

@FJX2000_Productions Год назад

Hey there! Thanks for all your videos! Very enjoyable to watch, every one! But I was wondering if you could explain where in the water column tenkara flies usually are. Do they float like a typical dry fly or are they subsurface? I know you don’t add weights so it’s not like your nymphing but I just don’t know where the fly is in the water column.

@robertkemp622 Год назад

Yes, the MaxCatch shorter zoom is a nice flexible rod, but I like even better the Wild Water 7'-8' Shorty rod (only 2 lengths, but so flexible, and casts beautifully). The Shorty (in my opinon) is on par with the Tanuki Tenkara Pocket Ninja (7'10"), and $300 less, with similar flexibility. This creek looks too cold to be fishing, but once again, you were able to deliver in trying conditions!

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

The Shorty is a great little rod! I need to get it back out 👍

@sandeedobberstine5591 Год назад

Happy 2023! Beautiful fish. Thanks Tristan, enjoyed your efforts today!😊

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

Thanks!

@miket1064 Год назад

I have fished in below freezing weather with both a rod and reel and tenkara. There are at least two advantages with Tenkara: no guides to ice up and no wet hands from stripping in the fly line.

@renegadeflyfishing Год назад

Very true!

@josepha.freivaldsr.9636 Год назад

Nice video. Cool to see you catch some bigger fish. I also need your help: I ordered the rod in the lengths you showed, but what I got is a rod showing 8'10'/9'9"/10'6" lengths. Do you know if it's the same rod you have? It feels a bit front heavy (pretty much so at 10'6) but otherwise seems ok. It's also nicely made. It came in a very solid case -- and, man!, is that top length thin! Does that jibe with your assessment of the rod?

@cleekmaker00 Год назад

Another excellent Trip Report! I have the longer MAXCATCH Triple Zoom, and have fished with it for 5 years now. Caught many fish with it.

@namaste597 Год назад

Hey Tristan I live in Mountain Home Idaho and have only fished Idaho for 1 season. I moved from Hawaii and love it here. I want to order my first pole 🎣 . Any suggestions on what I should be looking out for or aware of before I buy ? What part of Idaho are you from ?

@jimpyle560 Год назад

Where is the link to the gloves on Amazon? Thx.

@jaycegarner1289 Год назад

I always like your videos before I even finish watching them. Keep on doing impressive things! Appreciate it Tristan!

Salted dead minnows work great on mid winter streams 😎

This will be my first rod! Thanks!

@leemowers9395 Год назад

@logannewman4532 Год назад

I think this is the smaller rod I've been looking for.

@rphilip2768 Год назад

Good to see you out there in 2023

@marktank7623 Год назад

I think nymphs are best for winter.

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

When the water is this shallow, I think they're not the only option that works well

@marktank7623 Год назад

@@TenkaraAddict It is in the pools that the fish hang out in during the winter because the water is more moderate at depth. I was in Tennessee last Thanksgiving and found a pool in a small creek. I could see the fish and keep casting at them. The fly was over their heads, and they would budge. I then cast a small nymph, and the fight was on. It was a hit every time. You are right, if it is shallow, you have to stay high, but if there are pools, don't forget to get down there when it is cold.

@evanjulber7961 Год назад

Nice!!

@deanfirnatine7814 Год назад

Obviously rainbows were growing far bigger than the browns, how odd

@calvinvesco9883 Год назад

Browns are probably wild, rainbows stocked

What would the native winter fare be for these trout? Water looks up.

@@TenkaraAddict I did find for cheaper but all sold out :( on waiting list! Thx for all the content makes a dad like me feel like I went fishing 😂

@ianjones6910 Год назад

I know you fish traditional, subsurface Tenkara flies; I mostly use Tenkara to fish dries - I find it to be a superior delivery method, particularly in close quarters. I wonder how well one could fish, say, beadhead nymphs on Tenkara. I'm sure a lot of the castability qualities would be lost slinging a weighted nymph, not to mention if you add split shot to it.

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

There are tenkara rods that are well suited for fishing weighted flies. Lots of people do it.

@david-marynoll5699 Год назад

Ian, I live in the Driftless and nymph probably 90% of the time and fish between 70-90 days a year. A lot of the Tenkara rods cast nymphs very well.

@christopping5876 Год назад

Are there any closed seasons for trout fishing in the USA? Looks fabulous.

@trapperscout2046 Год назад

Depends on the state laws. In Hawaii for example, trout season starts in June and ends in September.

@calvinvesco9883 Год назад

Depends on the body of water here in Utah. Some will close to protect spawning fish. Most are open year round however.

@markg3025 Год назад

First fish of the year and he is a beauty.

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

I'm heading out this week for some Tenkara action on the American Fork river.

@TenkaraAddict Год назад

Nice!

@caguas97 Год назад

@@TenkaraAddict It was a bust. The American Fork River was too overgrown and had almost no flow. I dropped down to the Provo River and it was the same thing. The Provo was so low that I jumped across it. It reminded me of Hobble Creek. And no fish.
