FLY FISHING CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER FOR TROUT!
While in North Georgia last weekend I took a little detour from filming the new North Georgia Trout Series to fish a small stream. This particular stream I had never been to before. I was impressed with the crazy clear water and how beautiful the brown trout were. They were tough too find but that made finding them all the more rewarding.
At the end of the video I was back in West Virginia as I tried to finish it off with a few native brook trout. I was Surprised to Catch a non native imposter brook trout in one of the bigger holes on the creek. I was still able to catch one native before it got dark.
I hope everyone enjoys this multi state adventure! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more videos!

The North Georgia Series Volume 2 is coming soon! In the meantime I hope some of these mini adventures will keep everyone happy...

Your cinematography has gotten so good in the last year, I love how you don’t just show catching fish, and show off your surroundings and the water your fishing. Great job!

@ksoutdoors7097 2 года назад

Great video ! North Georgia is beyond beautiful

@zumalot 2 года назад

You won't hear me complain either. The water, the sound of the water, trees and there is Mr. Trout. Perfect.

I’m back in the Mountains of Virginia, where I grew up trout fishing. However, I got my start flyfishing in North Georgia. The state offers some incredibly beautiful streams and a ton of National Forest Land. I spent many a days hiking in to find native brookies, they are there, just a little work involved in getting to them.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Part of the new Georgia series will be blue lining for little native brookies!! I'm excited to do some exploring. Thanks for watching

@e50s65 2 года назад

Where would you suggest I start looking for native brookies for a guy that just moved from Virginia to North GA?

@mikediamond9206 2 года назад

Get you a Nat Geo Chattahoochee National Forest Map. Start chasing the small blue lines, half the fun is exploring. Brookies are generally protected by a natural barrier, ie waterfalls. You will be doing some hiking, they generally are are not near any roads. Tight fishing, but enjoyable. I also would suggest crossing the border into NC, the Nantahala NF offers some excellent remote fishing.

I know that stream in GA 🤐…nothing but Wild Browns…used to live pretty close to there. Great Fishing, Great Mountain Bike also! Thanks for sharing…

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

It is such pretty creek. I think it looks the most like Georgia out of all the creeks I've fished just because it sits in a pine grove with very little laurel. Thanks for watching!

@patjordan1955 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing Mother Nature at its best! Loved seeing the different species of a brook trout u showed!

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I'm glad you liked that little bit towards the end. I figured some people would enjoy it but it seems like it was a little more than anticipated.

@aceleaf 2 года назад

Thank you for showing us this North Gorgea stream with yellow trout. Commend your efforts.

@joshschrader4732 2 года назад

@christopherchase772 2 года назад

Best way to end a long week is with a new Hardman video👍🏻

MAAAAAANNNNN...the fish were b_e_A UTIFUL! NO QUESTION! and the SCENERY...OH GOOD LORD!!! The snow on the ground, the mist in the air, the overcast growing up the mountain side.....dude, nothing less than BREATHTAKING!!!🎣😲👍 Appreciate makin this BEYOND words can describe. 😲 Please keep these vidz comin my friend. Peace ✌😎

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind words!!!

@davidleimeister5027 2 года назад

What an absolutely fantastic fishing adventure. I would give my life for an opportunity to fish in surroundings like that. Hardman this one was a classic!

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Thanks David!! Glad you enjoyed this one

@derekspace 2 года назад

Enjoyed the video, as always! Winter can be good but most of the time catching a few is a victory! Good job. Yeah, love that GA stream. My kind of water.

@michaelsmith7193 2 года назад

Another great episode! Thanks! Yeah, I would agree that one brook trout sure looked like a hatchery fish. The natives are so much more impressive.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

For sure!! I call them imposter brookies HAHA

@sgttombailes3380 Год назад

I love the N. Ga streams... I wish I could I fish with you..

@adammead8197 2 года назад

Great vid bud. I love going for browns. Cheers from NH.

@johndoody7526 2 года назад

Seriously great videos..your right up there with Jensen Fly fishing but your videos have something a bit more special.Your work is unique in a way that shows fishing at a bluecollar level..something everyone can do with research and footwork...thank you for the work and dedication you put into providing such high quality videos.very much appreciated

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Yep all of these trips almost anyone can do if you have the time. My only real expenses for a Georgia trip is the gas and whatever food I eat. But I sleep in my car and fish streams I find on google earth or through a bit of research. Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot

@leemowers9395 2 года назад

Another very nice video, thanks.

@alexwest4253 Год назад

Grew up fishing that first stream. Nothing like it was 30-40 years ago. Too many locals fishing with bait(it is an artificial only stream) and keeping limits over the years have really hurt it. It's starting to recover a little but will probably never be as good as it once was. Still lots of good memories fishing it and catching those small browns.

@TheMichiganFishHunter 2 года назад

Great job. We fished Hogue Creek two days ago and got skunked again, this time, right outside of Winchester. Glad to see someone doing well.

@leroysmith8226 2 года назад

Browns are by far my favorite fish.

@thedr309 2 года назад

glad to see you having fun down in our neck of the woods, one day when your down this way I will share a spot or two with you, and buy ya lunch!

@badhooksetguy1999 2 года назад

Awesome video man! 🤟🏽 That creek reminds me of my favourite hometown creek. This gets me pumped for trout opener in Ontario! Much love from Canada! 🇨🇦

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

That's awesome!! Glad you enjoyed and good luck out there on trout opener!!

@FishingWithDamon 2 года назад

It’s been so long since I went trout fishing it reminds of my grandfather he used to bring me in my dad trout fishing at his camp sadly he passed but hopefully in years to come I will keep the tradition alive! I am 16 so soon I will be able to drive back to the camp and make videos of me fishing there!

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Yeah get out there and keep that tradition alive!! I have a few traditions in my family but most revolve around deer hunting. Glad you enjoyed the video

@larryhudson4511 2 года назад

Always fun to see what your doing! I've caught fish in several fords just after being crossed. Ole George said the "waves" stir things up and wash in bugs.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I honestly think that's why I caught that 3rd brown trout. I should've driven my car through there and started fishing it again.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Thank you!

@triplebogeytrio7791 2 года назад

Once again great video! I wish I could travel around the Appalachians and fly fish

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

It's a blast! These trips cost me pretty much only the cost of gas and some food. I keep it cheap so everybody feels like they may be able to do it.

@jshada58 2 года назад

Interesting difference in the brooks. I’ve never seen that before. Thank you. Enjoyed as usual.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I think a lot of people don't notice it because they catch the different strains so far apart. But when you catch them back to back it is super obvious. Glad you enjoyed the video!

@dominicnonnenmacher9260 2 года назад

Great video ! Can’t wait until Alex’s renegade rods release, gonna pick a saltwater series up for striper here on the NJ/NY coast.

@stevedavis4087 2 года назад

Killin it dude those colors were insane clearest stripes I've seen on a brookie nice catches

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed!!

@jwalk9890 2 года назад

There's not a doubt you are a dedicated trout fisherman and the video was excellent. I will be there in the morning but I will fish the evening and then hit Cherokee and lose my money, wake up Sunday and hopefully I can make the morning bite. I've only fished Cherokee once and I was shut out, have you ever had any luck with fishing Cherokee and I will be glad to listen to all the info if so.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I've never fished Cherokee believe it or not, but I've driven by it a few times. Good luck out there!

@LandingwithLandon 2 года назад

Hey there that first stream is some of my old stomping grounds. There are rainbows there, just very few in number :)

@huythiennhien51 2 года назад

Hi friend, Nice to meet you. i just found your amazing channel, including this video! I really like what you're doing. I am here to show you my support, i wish you so much success and happiness in 2022. Stay strong, stay connected. Take care always

@toughluckfishing9970 2 года назад

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

@skylermckinzie1084 2 года назад

Love the video as always. How do you like your waders? I burn threw waders so fast here in western montana! Hard to find a good durable wader seems like. But to be fare we do put alot of hard miles on them in a year.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I love my Dryft waders! And I'm not paid to say that (Although I do get a discount). I had the same trouble you had and then I got these and I've had them for 2 years and I fish probably 200 days a year.

@baggetja1234 2 года назад

Love the small stream and wild fishing content. You should try a tenkara video on a small streams. It is not for everyone but is a great experience especially for top water or tight line nymphing. Hit me up if your in WNC as I have rods you are welcome to try.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I actually want to try Tenkara just for the fun of it. I think it would be cool just to have another tool in the arsenal.

@chesterpielock8824 2 года назад

Would have switched flies after the first miss.Enjoy your vids!

@joshuameade2941 2 года назад

I’ve seen what I believe to be a 20”+ fish in that GA creek. Caught a couple nice ones working buggers/streamers there and some other creeks close by. Would love to fish with ya when you come down again.

@isaachall9126 Год назад

What stream is this? One fellow Georgian to the next :) have been looking at finding a handful of creeks with wild brown and rainbows to fish / camp near

@NonStxpp 2 года назад

I’m pretty early for once thank goodness!

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Love to see it! Thanks for the support

@jimgollach6202 2 года назад

Its amazing how water flows. I know of stream in the smokies that merges into another stream, the two bodies of water are totally different, it's like two different worlds. One stream has a very high population of fish, the other does not. Winter fishing is tough, I would use nymphs, they always work for me. Enjoyed the video. 😀🥶👍

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

That's awesome!! Glad you enjoyed the video

@mountaingoatgreg1691 2 года назад

Micro woollies for the win!

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I know you and T have been on this trend for a while now!!

@mr.robinson1982 2 года назад

Black on purple wooly buggers are completely deadly. I tye all purple wooly buggers some without a bead, but with a small piece of foam so it kinda floats but is within 1-2 feet of the surface.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I've never tried that!! I bet that's killer in the late spring/summer

@chesterpielock8824 2 года назад

Thought you boys were from WV? Georgia is a bit of a drive.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I fish a little bit of everywhere! As long as it's within reason

@leskrug9266 2 года назад

What's the difference between a wild trout & a native trout?

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

Wild trout reproduce in the stream but were put there by humans at one point. Native trout were there before people. So the only native "trout" to the east coast is the brook trout. All of the other trout are either wild trout or are stocked. At the end of the day a "wild" trout and a "native trout" are technically both just trout that reproduce and live in the stream without help, but we give native trout a little more protection/respect because they've been in the creeks since the last ice age.

@MrVegas-vm2kp 2 года назад

@858.... Looks like a brookie not a brown 👍🏻

@bdickinson6751 2 года назад

100% wild brown

@robertjerome1889 2 года назад

It would have been nice to know the town and river name.

@hardmanfishing 2 года назад

I don't want to blow these spots up...

@dominikk8547 2 года назад

Generally the etiquette is to not tell spots, especially in small streams and with thousands of followers, the locals wouldn't appreciate it if hundreds of people went there:)

@badhooksetguy1999 2 года назад

It would have been nice for you, yet, unethical for everyone else. If he were to say the state and river name, I’m sure there’d be at least a few dozen people out of his almost 40k followers who would then know about it and fish it. Social media has a huge impact on fisheries!

@brandonmcdaniel6727 2 года назад

@@badhooksetguy1999 I feel like that and some lack of tree management is what has basically ruined Noontoola. Now you can't go there without a mile of parked cars at the crossroads and every little hole camped in every weekend with spinning gear 😑

@chesterpielock8824 2 года назад

That brookie around 12:00 might be a female!
