We take a quick break from the Quonset Hut Shop build and head to Delta Clearwater River for a summer day of fishing. Although we didn't catch a fish that we could retain, we had a blast on the water landing these beauties.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

Love all your videos but miss when you put the temp and sunrise sunset stats at the beginning.

@mwillis7791 10 месяцев назад

I like that too. I think they are usually pretty consistent doing that around the summer and winter solstice.

@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 10 месяцев назад

They always do it. You just need to be alert to catch it.

@tracyduncan1331 10 месяцев назад

Haven’t seen it on the last 2

I had no idea arctic grayling could get so big!! You guys are inspiring us to fish more than we're used to, and it's been great. 😍

@deandredunbar9618 10 месяцев назад

they max out at around 4 pounds

@karlschreiber7231 10 месяцев назад

We had a similar experience on the Clearwater in 1960. The fish only wanted a super-duper lure. I was fishing in a canoe with my dad and brother. We traded poles after 2 fish, as we only had the one lure. Thanks for the memories.

@davekibbey7944 10 месяцев назад

I hear talk of Grayling being reintroduced into some Michigan rivers. I hope they can do it, what a beautiful fish.

@pistolPablo 10 месяцев назад

Greyling is one of my favorite fish to catch on a dry fly, I'm a guide here in Sweden and i cant help but to giggle and laugh a bit seeing Eric trying to cast a fly. Also the first time i have ever seen a telescopic flyrod i might add 🤣

@sohailakhtar5474 10 месяцев назад

Wow what a beautiful creak with clear water,ideal for flying fishing nature at the best.Amazing scenery with stunning tree reflections in clear water.Keep fishing, cooking, eating, camping,traveling, hunting,gardening,canning,working and smiling 😊

@nrolled2888 10 месяцев назад

That's what we have read! We caught them before off Denali Highway and wish we would have kept one or two to try.

Eric is like me, the water is making me cold and Arielle is walking in the water like a 90 degree day. What a woman. It’s good to take some down time from the hard work to relax and do something fun. I I’ve your videos and the adventures. The graylings are big. As many big graylings there are, they could let you have at least a couple for good measure, right! I love your adventures and will keep watching for more. Bye!!

@joni3503 10 месяцев назад

Dear Eric and Ariel, I love watching your wonderful videos, they're so comforting in a way, I can't describe. Many will feel some jealousy, seeing you guys living and working under such magnificent conditions, and building a good life. Hopefully, maybe some day we get to see kids, that would be lovely to see them playing around, laughing, feeding the chickens, homeschooling, doing the stuff they do. They would be so happy. Take care of yourself and stay safe.

It has been a bit over 45 years since I was stationed in Valdez and Cordova but I seem to recall when they are sitting doggo on the bottom they tended to hit anything that looked like a salmon egg.

Really enjoyed the video. I hope you guys get to go up the river to your other homestead and catch that giant pike. That is if you still own the property.

I caught the heck out of the grayling in the Klondike river in Dawson City. Used a small jig with a 1" white twister tail. 12"-16" fish were the norm, it was wild.

THe Delta and Richardson Clear water used to be our favorite places to fish greyling when we lived in Fairbanks. Beautiful. I learned to fly fish on greyling in clear creeks like this. Nice trip yall.

Wow, that was a beautiful river!! 💚It looked so peaceful!💙So glad to see y’all exploring, having fun doing something you love doing!! ❤

@yojimbo9 10 месяцев назад

just a tip for the new fly fisherman, those telescopic rods are really stiff and difficult to cast. if you want something compact get a 4 piece rod instead. it takes a lot of practice but keep at it.

@stephaniknight5809 10 месяцев назад

I love these videos but my favorite will always be when beau caught a fish while yall were dip netting and he was like, i can do it too

Ok but I nearly choked on my garlic bread when Eric deserted the COLD WATER 😂😂🤭

@patrickmitts4903 10 месяцев назад

My guide friend always says "Give em what they eat"! This time of year up there salmon are spawning and dying. Anything that looks like salmon chunks or eggs drifting down river will give you a better shot at catching grayling and trout. Good luck and I always enjoy seeing your fishing videos!

@jamiekendall7245 10 месяцев назад

I absolutely love the beau and bandit enjoy going everywhere with you on your adventures ❤️

@DeanJohnson67 10 месяцев назад

grayling usually dont spawn for the first time for 3 or more years at which point they are usually around 12" and bigger so the goal is to not keep spawn capable ones. Similiar concepts for Walleye near me can only keep 15-19" fish and the the 20-24" range is prime walleye spawn size so they restrict that size completely but you can keep (1) >24" ...

@Bizarb 10 месяцев назад

Every time I see fly fishing, I think of that movie, "A River Runs Through It" Great movie if y'all have never seen it.

@Passioakka 10 месяцев назад

WOW! I haven´t been fishing for grayling since I was a small girl...my mouth is watering now. We went out on the river yesterday but the fish were lazy, probably because of the weather. Sunny and warm but a low pressure was on its way. There is a weather alert about severe heavy rain up to 70 mm in a short time where I live, down south is a red alert with even more rain. We may also have heavy thunder so I prepare if the electricity been cut off. Thanks for getting us along on this awesome fishing trip!

@renamaemcdonald2075 10 месяцев назад

@BDCF100 10 месяцев назад

Grayling have been recorded up to 8 pounds. Alaska record is a bit over 6 pounds. Arielle, the 411 on Grayling is that they most often bite on the lure dropping to the bottom rather than the retrieve.

@michaelh2797 10 месяцев назад

Nice to see the boys out on an adventure. I caught some grayling years ago, the best fish I’ve ever eaten.

LAST YEAR IT WAS THE SAME AT YUKON RIVER. VERY HARD TO CATCH. ANYTHING ... WHEN I LIVED IN CANTUNG NWT IN 70'S, WE COULD CATCH EVERY CAST.......

@hunterofalaska 10 месяцев назад

I lived in Delta for 20+ years, and lived within 1/4 mile of the Clearwater. Loved watching your video, reminded me of running that river. What you guys need to use is a pearl white crappie jig. We would go fishing and we had to crimp the barbs because we always caught so many. Glad you guys had fun!

@mandystone3005 10 месяцев назад

i was taught that with the fly fishing I had to remember to make little smal low jerks on the pole as your reelling in to simulate the insect on the water movement (darting).
