In this video I stumble across a strange and dirty roadside creek. Can you believe there were fish in there?!

That was interesting because you were in my back yard! haha I know exactly where you were and grew up fishing on that mountain. That's a heavily stocked lake for the tourists. I've never fished that stream though - never even thought to as I was always on the move to more remote lakes and streams on the mountain. Anyway, you inspired me to play in that creek this summer!

@georgesakellaropoulos8162 2 года назад

Looks like all of that dry silt area was lake bottom at one time. Did a dam break or something?

As a kid one of my great joys was walking the creeks in Northern Nevada hunting the Wiley Brook trout. Later in life I was stationed in mainland Japan and found out about Tenkara fishing and was eager to do it when I got home from the service, unfortunately after the service I was no longer able to walk those streams again;Thank you for taking me fishing again.

This really illustrates the importance of exploring your locale. So many places that seem unpromising may actually be the best because no one bothers. I saw a quote that noted the Dept of Fish and Game in California had done a survey of fishermen that found that 95% fished less than 100 yards form their parked car. That told ne for an extra 100 yard walk I could find a lot more fish. It was true.

I don't know why I watch these videos on RU-vid they just make me so envious. I'm from the UK and we have nothing like the fishing opportunities you guys have, the US is certainly an Anglers paradise. Anyway keep up the good work and I hope you have many more fishing adventures. From a very envious Brit.

I grew up in CO and know where there are several roadside creeks with great fishing. One of them is full of brookies up to 12 inches long and I have never seen anybody else fish it nor have I ever seen another footprint there and it is less than 100 yards from a state highway. Lots of cars drive that highway going to other fishing spots and don't know they are driving by great water.

Great video, we mostly have only brown trout in our rivers. But people grow rainbow trout in rivers and sometimes the hard stream after the rains break the nets and they escape, and breed. And I do not know if it's goon or not.

Let's go... been binging you, and trying to learn as much as possible before I use my new tenkara rod, a tenkara USA iwana. I bought it at an expo (got to feel it) for only 70 (msrp is 170) and my mom paid me back and is keeping it for a month till my birthday.

@darrelmurphy4930 2 года назад

These small creeks connect reservoirs that are mainly irrigation sources. So when they call for water, the creeks can be muddy from upper releases. But they are fun to fish and can contain surprisingly large fish.

@sclewell777 2 года назад

I have to say that I do believe that the clear stream looked like a limestone spring fed. Wild browns. So beautiful. That dirty stream looks like cattle could be in the stream upstream. Great vudeo.

@maknifeandrods7701 2 года назад

Time to learn dry fly fishing with your tenkara. It is so much fun in mountain streams. Bigger streams you have to do nymphing early in the early season but mountain wild trout are so much fun in small dry flies. At least here in Georgia.

@frankkawasaki3082 2 года назад

Tristan: Fun episode! Netting procedure: Bring the fish close to the net, then release the pressure on the fish by lowering the tip of the rod, the fish will have the tendency to swim downward into the water and/or in the net. Does that sound easy?

What flys do you use? How do you know which will work out where? I just spent 4 hours fly fishing the Provo river in Utah, I might have had one bite…might have been a snag…I haven’t fished that river in 25 years and it is significantly worse! What I used 25 years ago hasn’t produced a single fish!! Wtf?!
