Fly Fishing for BIG Brown trout and BREAKING an Expensive Rod! 

I broke my last tip looking over the side of a suspension footbridge and walked it right into the tower 🙄

I swear ya'll just get bored and have to find something to get upset about LOL

HAHAHA Something like that!! Thanks for watching

LOL

That's a crazy different perspective then we have in the states. Brook trout, cutthroat trout, and rainbow trout are natives (west has native rainbows and cutties, east has brookies) but browns have taken over. We love browns but sometimes they're put in areas they really shouldn't be. But then again they're so fun to catch that not many people complain.

I did that last year on closing day 😭 I was so excited to fish the last hole of the day and as I parked my truck I instinctively rolled up my windows and *CRUNCH* 😭 Both my 3wt and my 5wt gone just like that... the ONE time I was too lazy to break down my rods too

I had a buddy do this before!!

Nope it's an Adams

@@hardmanfishing looks good! I didnt think there was other rod like this , ty!

I'd say they're all over the US, although NC isn't that far flung. Thanks for watching Larry

Hi from the UK. We have the internet over here now too. Big fan of your videos.

Agreed!

Yep!

I use a mono rig, but my leader in floro

@@hardmanfishing do that for salmon and steelhead but haven’t taken that route for trout yet…hmmm have me thinking now.

No doubt!!

I crushed it in the car door a few months back!

Please tell me about your leader and tippet set up. It appears that you were stripping monofilament rather than the flightline. I’m relatively new to this type of fishing as I just moved to the mountains of North Carolina. Would love to know more about how you set up. Thank you.

That’s blatantly false. Would be interesting to check back on this stream in 10 years and also compare it to how it was before browns were introduced to it. I’m Not one of those guys who is screaming for mass removals of brown trout, but there’s no reason we should tolerate brown trout in the same watershed as brook trout. It’s not just about a fisherman’s point of view, it’s looking at the ecosystem and realizing brown trout cannot fill the spot brook trout can. Btw brookies used to grow as big as some of these browns, before the browns were introduced. I think the scientists would know more than someone who just cares about the size of fish they catch

I don't think that's true.. imagine how many / big the brookies were before the browns were introduced.

Thanks for watching!!

Definitely not his first!

That's awesome!! Congrats

You and me both!!

Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoy them!

Couldn't agree more!

Gotta love it when you get back on them!!

Glad you enjoyed!!

Glad you enjoyed!

Glad you enjoyed!

Adams XZT

I wrote that while watching and a couple seconds later you hooked another big brown there . That log is boss bro

I can say with pretty good confidence that my brother did not catch a fish out of that log a few years ago 😂

@@hardmanfishingI don’t know I feel like your brother was throwing steamers in the same whole and caught a monster I remember that.

@@tedtresco5283 No I'm saying I know for a fact he didn't catch a fish there because he's only fished this area once and never on video LOL
