WINTER TROUT FISHING FUN!
With temperatures finally running up into the mid 30's for the first time in weeks, I was able to get out and find some open water. The fish seemed to like the warm up as much as I did and I caught a ton of native brook trout! The dry dropper won the day over and I was even able to coax one brookie into eating the dry fly. After several weeks of struggling in some brutal conditions it was nice to get out and not freeze to death and actually catch some fish.
I hope everyone enjoys! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Just remember folks, if you are catch and release trout fishing in temperatures below freezing, try your best to keep the fish in the water. In that instance, the water is actually warmer than the air, and a trout’s gill tissue can begin “flash freezing” right away.
@hardmanfishing
@hardmanfishing 2 года назад
Yep you should always keep the fish out of the water a minimal amount.

There's a hatch today and tomorrow here in Cherokee NC. It's in the 50s during the day. It will of course be chilly in the morning and you catch well but about 2pm to 4pm you will catch great. Just trying to give you a heads up. Tony

Great video. It's easy to drop stuff in the cold 🥶 weather and snow ❄. It's also easy to retrieve it with a small fat magnet. One out of the back of an old microwave works really good. Harbor Freight usually carries some on the end of a telescoping rod. Really enjoy watching you be successful. Lord willing I'm going in the morning. God bless you and always, tight lines.

I don't spin fish are much now just because I don't enjoy it as much. Fly fishing is challenging and makes me think. I'm sure I'll be doing more spin fishing videos in the future but it probably ever be as common as it used to be! Thanks for watching and for the support over the years!

When exploring new streams, how many times do you fish it, or how much of it do you fish, before determining that there aren’t any fish in the creek?
@hardmanfishing
@hardmanfishing 2 года назад
Usually I'll fish a creek once and move a ton of water (fish a mile or so if I can). If there are any number of wild trout I'll at least spook one. If I don't then I move on to a new creek because either there aren't any wild trout, or so few that it probably isn't worth my time.
