Fishing for TROUT in TURBULENT Waters 

Good stuff man! Trout fishing is a blast! Maybe we can get together someday and catch some trout.

I've caught some very large trout about 300 -400 yards downstream....the powerhouse current makes a figure "S" and comes over to the Railroad side you are on...use big live black crickets hooked through thorax....lots of very big trout are on that current seam...caught some big trout ripping streamers in trophy section too...but the fore mentioned area was far far more productive...had some 30 trout all over 20" mornings there....lost creek above the tracks has it's amazing days too...long live the hiawassi

I love juice trout videos. This one is great. I’m going out this weekend to fish the for trout here in Georgia.

, That was some great fishing on the Hiwasse for rainbows. I think you adapted well to the rough water.Good Job.

You should hold the fish with the net like a glove. That way you protect the fish if you are letting them go. Great video!

Wow ! Just don't fall in, that would be the end of ya. Great water, trout and a Yellow Perch ! ! OK. This is like fishing below the Bluestone Dam, New River near Henton, WV. Further down is Sandstone Falls @ Henton. 365 feet across and 25 feet high. I just love this place. It has everything ya could want. Great fishing ,and even swimming ,tho "Be Careful " ! While fishing there one day three people were lost. Henton side. Nothing I could do. So to others ,if ya fish near fast water be careful OK. Be safe and show more videos like this. Take care now.

Kayaked the Hiwassee back in the day -You can’t ask for more beautiful setting to go fishing! (Looks like you might want to be careful in that spot if you didn’t know how to swim though).

I would love for you To come up where I live and catch some wild rainbows and big browns, my pic is a brown I caught the other night

6:54. "Now that I'm fishing for a living". That must feel pretty darn cool.

Good fishing when the stock is the day before.

In a rush, but great video! I love when my low expectations are exceeded when I fish!

Good video sir! I grew up in north Alabama fishing these type of streams in Bama and Tn, good times. Nice yella perch also, they are good eating.

Caught 15,000 fish in his lifetime....still gets excited over a 1 pounder. That's the definition of a real sportsman! Love the Hiawassee. Canoed it many, many times but I need to come fish it. Its possibly the most beautiful river setting I've seen in my life.

Nice reel, nice rod, nice takes... and that perch put a little spice on the trout fishing!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

About to go fishing myself, btw that spot looks beautiful and I want to fish it soooooo bad. Tight lines🎣

Man that's a mean looking reel!! Little more turbulent than your normal creeks haha hope you enjoyed it!

Headed out there today and gave it a shot. Didn't stay too terribly long but didn't get any bites either. Seemed like the current out of the powerhouse just pushed my lures to the surface.

Love me some fishing up at Reliance.. I learned how to fish there with my dad

Love the trout fishing vids! That’s why i im subbed to you because i love fishing small streams for trout, come to michigan and fish for trout or bass in any of our small streams and you won’t be dissapointed at all! God bless and keep reeling em in!

Yes.. Mr. Creekman got to see you actually in the picture fishing... just awesome. I sincerely hope one day you come to Maryland and take me fishing with you... you are the best! There should be more people like you around. I will email you my information. I look forward to seeing your videos all the time!😉😀

Those are perfect eating size trout, but I know you mostly catch and release. I'm sure that's some cold water, and that would make for some fine tasting trout. Good video John, as always.

Nice bunch of trout, looks like a challenging spot with the current and rocky bottom. Knowing me I'd probably lose a few spinners there. Excellent work!

Nice video. You may not fish for trout that often but once you get hooked on them, especially native trout, you're gonna be like Fish Hawk! :-)

John "The Christian Fish Whisperer " you are an inspiration to all!

Good day of fishing right there kept waiting for a big smallmouth to test that new reel

Great video! I need to try some of those lures in south GA! GOD BLESS!!!

Beautiful trout and beautiful water.

That's a cool bridge. That discharge is holding a ton of trout. Bonus perch also.

They use those for striper bait in the Hiwassee. Not sure if you can use wildcaught ones though. I know Gander Mountain used to sell bait trout. Cool video man

👍 Awesome 👏!!...I notice the music in the beginning and the second cam! Nice! And that was some crazy white water!

That is some cool fishing great video rolling water standing right next to it cool

Beautiful trout cfa' I'd never thought that they would hit a bitsy minnow but man you shredded em . Love the video and keep fishin bro' love the rod n reel too btw🤙🤙🤙🎣🎣🎣

Slaying the trout. Amazing work sir. Still a huge fan.

That reel looks awesome!!! Looks like you had a great day! Love the rainbows & beautiful scenery!

I hate I don't live around any freshwater trout. We do get a local lake stocked with rainbow and browns in December, but they are usually gone within 2 weeks.

That's a beautiful river, nice video. Trout fishing is cool.... ✌✌👊

Good video, John. "Reel-ly" enjoyed that!

where them browns at? (try a gold spinner)

Amen:: Certainly a fast flow of water alright ,great caught of rainbows they did like the fast water.Well done.

Nice trout there John, have you done much trout fishing with Panther Martin spinners?

They like oxygen rich and fast moving waters John.. I also like to watch bass fisherman handle trout.. it is like they think the trout is made of glass and would break or die.. there tough fish too just look at where they live..WEll John boy.. this is the kind of fishing I do all the time.. Welcome to my side of the fishing story.. Carry on brother, be safe, especially out on the court... those young 'un will run you ragged if you let them!!!

Great video. I love the creek fishing but these videos are awesome to switch it up a little

thanks for another awesome fishing trip Sir your efforts are always appreciated 👍👍✌

Nice trout action, and that should hold up well into the winter. Blessings!

Hey brother, wet your hands before you pick up the trout. Trout are sensitive to our dry hands. Dry hands remove protective layer from outside of trout and makes them vulnerable to disease. Maybe you did and I missed it, but I didn't see it.

Never fished that spot but I am going to now lol

nice video and good bunch of trout .... be careful out there water looks fast and cold.

Great video

Very nice fishing there John. Keep up the good work.

That was a really nice fishing trip. You sure got a lot of nice trout's😊

Something about the banjo music and the river just don't seem right . lol Another nice one my friend , thanks.

Man I wanna fish there again but ain't got anyone to take me, my wife won't cross the bridge and I can't leave her an my daughter sitting in the parking lot, thanks for sharing and nice catches

Great video you got on the trout fishing has been kind of tough lately. Keep it up.

That place looks awesome

Nice change of pace. Good video.

Hey I am sure people tell you all kinds of stuff, but check out fluorocarbon lines, less stretch then mono, better feel and you can get 6 lb test at the size of 4 lb diameter or less, really good stuff just my two cents, also look at a pair of hemostates as opposed to a multi tool for removing hooks from smaller mouthed fishes, hope you dont mind my opinons :)

Nice fishing 🎣

Wow. Great video. The there'd rainbow was beautiful.🤙

I live less than 20 mins from reliance. We should fish one day.

Always wanted to fish that rive, cool perch

man i have been all over that powerhouse on both sides up the tracks worked out good in the late spring

Nice way to break in a new reel. Looks like you were thinking of lipping that second trout for a second. I have had moments like that.

Oh yea, did you see Matthew Isbell's ( AKA, Bama Beach Bum ) post on "New Laws for You Tuber's ? Seems the Gov. has some NEW RULES for ALL 'TUBERS ! Tom DB, FL.

blue fox spinners work well in rivers for me. you should try it

good video

Awesome camera shot of you and the bridge another fun vid!

IT MIGHT BE WONDERFUL TO BE THERE....EAT FISH, DRINKS COKE AND SOME NEWS READING.. L.O.L FROM INDONESIA

Nice river, but still I liked the small rainbows you caught in that small creek some weeks ago a little more.

“The camera was off” That’s hilarious!

Rapala ripstops work gangbusters out there too!

Great video... those were some really nice rainbow trout and perch! 👍

Nice vid! Sadly they don’t have trout in Nashville TN

I always use rubber mesh nets for catch and release

Do you think you could ever fish Beaverdam Creek in the future? River that feeds into the NW end of Lake Hiawassee. I know there aren’t as many trout as of 20 years ago. About the time I landed a HUGE trout out of there. Mahalo 🤙🏻

Those rainbows are really big

Enjoyed the video im from polk county originally fished the hiwassee a lot

I bet that place would be awesome with a fly rod..as always great work

Took the family up there on a Picnic one Sunday and got attacked by wolves and barely got away with our lives and ran the station wagon into a ditch getting away = Never again!!

greetings one hobby,may be god bless you

Great video my friend

ye know it gonna be good when he fishin for trout👌👌👌

Snuck to my computer just to watch your channel during work......ssssshhhhhhh......haha stay blessed brother!

too bad you cant keep em right now, they will be a couple inches bigger come spring when you can, i have a lifetime of memories there

That particular Teeny R is my favorite

Making me nervous brother around that rough water. Please wear a life vest. We loose a few fishermen in CNY fishing in the same kind of contortions

Also, I've heard you have to be very gentle with trout releases...they're so sensitive. You always just FLING your fish back out there. But I hear you about the water being far down. Net release, maybe?

OK, this is a shorter version of what I typed out, and then erased cause I don't want to touch off an internet comment war. Some of the fish handling comments on this video are absolutely laughable, enough said. It's a fish for heaven's sake in a body of water that probably contain tens of thousands. You caught what? 20 at most? I'd love to see you work up a T-shirt with a logo that says "Trout Doctor, handled with care".... Excellent video John. When your basketball team plays it's first game, blare that banjo music through the PA system to intimidate your opponents.... LOL

Great video, have you ever thought about a catch and cook? God is good!

Just subscribe to your channel. I love to fish. We dont have trout.

I have never caught a trout. I am only a little over an hour away from there. Do you have to get any special license to catch the trout?

Nycd intro #ambient

Awesome vid

Heck yeah u was wiring them out what kind of lure was u using

Trout are biting

Surfs up!! Nice intro.

You need to try the KastKing Mela II spinning reel can beat the price or performance

Do you ever keep any fish you catch? I don't, yet, but I plan to keep the next few stocked trout I catch in the spring. Man, that water looks dangerous. I'm surprised they allow fishing that close to the dam.

Do you keep and eat any of the fish you catch

Be careful . I hear banjo music !

Wore EM out!
