I FOUND A GIANT TROUT!! (Streamer Fly Fishing For Brown Trout) 

I fish for steelhead and I had those days! One think u need to do is let them peel drag, enjoy the figh of the fish and relax

Thanks for the good illustrations of your streamer fishing technique.

Thank you. Your videos are excellent and show real wild fish. My favorite.

love the passion coming through

What a Heartbreaker of a lost Brown! Well done and tight lines!

I love your videos and dedication to streamers! That colored water just makes me want to be right there with you! I've moved to Florida now where almost all our fly fishing is direct contact fishing, streamers! I fish Red, Snook, Lady Fish, Sea Trout, and Tarpon all with streamers and I'm having a ball. I left WI where I fished for either Browns or Smallies almost exclusively with streamers (except when the smallies will take a BoogleBug popper!!) I do have a slight suggestion for you, from the many guides I have fished with, Keep your rod tip Down, down in the water if possible, making a direct connection to the fly. With your rod tip higher you have a dropping bit of slack in your fly line and this increases the missed takes. I realize your streams and style may make keeping your rod tip in the water not always possible but keep that tip as low as possible and you will increase your hookups! Tight lines!

Awesome video! Your streamer content is top tier! I have learned so much about streamer fishing since finding your channel!

Again another great vid 😀enjoyed 👍👍

Metto il like ancora prima di guardarlo! I tuoi video sono spettacolo🤟

This is really gonna keep me fishing through the rest of my life, even when I have crappy days, this struggle is really relateable to pretty much everyone at some point, so I'm glad you included it in your video and helped me learn more about winter streamer fishing for browns

Hey man great video. Keep slinging those streamers and enjoy the time on the water.

this is a video that feels so relatable, some missed opportunities and perseverance makes the experience of a win so much more rewarding

I just subscribed because I enjoy "your passion" for fishing. The small and midsize streams bring back lots of memories. If you would ever like some help cleaning the banks of those bountiful streams please let me know. Let's leave it better for the next person. Keep bringing us your fishing adventures.

It’s amazing that the attraction is great👍👍

The way you handled the second miss ~7min is super dialed man. Super dedicated to have a morning like that and keep going

Love the streamer videos!

Life experience is the greatest thing, keep fishing and have fun.

Good Lord I wish I had places to fish like this round these parts..

This is why we do it!

What another great day on the water. Great video HFA!

Yes, never give up. Nice video.Again!

The Jesus clip was epic……wicked vid man! Nice shed too….. miss hunting already ☠️

started getting hella emotional there for a sec lmao

Good perseverance. And always tight lines.

What an inspiring video! Always gonna be the best fly fishing RU-vid channel by far. Is that a dungeon at the beginning of the video? (From redds flies) I bought a ton of streamers from them.

Great site. Helpful for a novice fly fisherman on me.

Awesome video😉

Usually like the real colorfull browns best but loved the big dots on that first one.

Sunday happens to me twice on a streamer the first fish-came off cause light hook set and on dry the second cut me offffff... But I regain my focus and make them pay with my trusty scud pattern. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! And never give up!

If I win mega millions I’m fishing with you everyday

Fabulous. Thank you.

The fishing is always good, it's only the catching that slows down from time to time.

I just found your channel. Great vids! Was wondering if you could start telling us a little about your rod reel and line choices for each vid and fly choices too. Thanks!

Those are some beautiful, healthy looking fish! Wish I could find out where this is, I'd love to try it out.

Dope

A fisherman is the ultimate optimist. Just one more cast.....just one more.

I find that it’s always the days that I struggle the most and continue to fish that I am rewarded for my persistence. I might just have to buy one of those hoodies so they can continue to sponsor you and maybe we’ll get to see that giant.

😮 incredible

Love brownies fish a lot of creeks in the Gunnison area

That’s what I’m talking about good one

Man love the vids I hear ya lol your losing big fish and I'm flustered when I lose smaller fish feel like I'm losing my touch as I get older

I streamer fish a lot as well and I run mostly 0x fluorocarbons or 17 lb straight mono. I only had one fish break me off streamer fishing and that was at night and I was mousing. Streamers it’s a game of quality and not numbers. My personal best day of streamer fishing was 15 but every single fish was 18 inches or bigger. The biggest was a 26 inch brown that ate a big nasty articulated streamer

Great catches? What state is this, since I'm from Galveston Tx and what reel and rod do you use?

Awesome fish man! But dang, id like to see the size of the one you lost. Omg… 😅 But something tells be you’ll probably be going back for revenge in the future? I know I would 😏🎣👍

Awesome

For the most part if it’s a dark day dark fly, light day light colored fly

What weight of rod do you use for streamer fishing?

i love you and i love fish thabnk u :)

Great video man! You using the echo streamer x rod? I thought you were about to send it to the shadow realm at the end there😂

When they got that huge Kype as a male they can chop right through the line

I really enjoy your videos and seeing you fish those wild water rivers, I never realised, before I saw your films, that any fish would live in such fast flowing turbulent water. Shame about losing that fish especially as you were using suitably strong line. Appart from your disappointment that fish will probably die, unless it can get rid of the hook which is unlikely. I've often seen dead fish with hooks in them.

do you have a stinger hook in those streamers?

Same

My biggest brown was 36 inches long never weighed him caught in blacksmith frks Utah # 2 red and mepps 6 lb test quick Vaness 110

Try catching an 8 to 10 lbs rainbow where I live in that light tackle setup Lol Rofl Lmao

What fly rod and reel are you using?

If it’s older fluorocarbon tippet it may be brittle and break off

what's your setup for streamer?

Do you use a floating line or an intermediate one for streamer fishing? Im not into streamer fishing csause i fish mostly small creeks but in the spring time i would love to throw some small streamers ona 4#-5#

Man you gotta hate breaking off on a fish you have hooked . I always feel so bad myself too. Because more than likely that fish will die unless someone gets lucky enough to hook the fish soon and catches and releases the fish and takes your hook out. I hope you tried that area a few more times later that week and catch him to save him/her . Also the other thing I always hate is when a big trout totally inhales my lurer and gets hooked in the gill . Worst thing possible when you’re like us and catch and release 99 percent of the time. Only fish I keep anymore is the trout that is gill hooked and bleeding . When fishing for wild fish and if your a good fisherman I tell ya one thing I almost always have at least one get hooked deep every outing because you fool the fish so well they absolutely hit your lure with no doubts about it . That’s why I always take my surgical pliers and also have a good net so many times even with a hook near gill I can manage to get it out without a lot of bleeding and I only release that fish if I’m sure it will make it . I honestly have broke off on a fish before and 5 days later I got the fish to hit the same lure again and caught him and got my lure back 😂 hook was buried deep but in roof of mouth not in gills was able to get lure out after I unhooked fish . The fish looked so happy and chilled in net a minute letting it recover I let it go gently and the fish actually hung out a min near me like say thanks and when I went to make sure it was fine it bolted back into the deep current . 😂 Amazing catch and story I’ll never forget that one and it was only about a 22-23 inch Rainbow that was built like a tank . I believe it was a stocker that basically turned into a wild fish that I’m sure was in the wild over a year and had recently spawned. There is some streams and rivers in my area that can hold fish and reproduce if they aren’t all ripped out by anglers keeping them. This year I fished new creek before it was stocked dnr accidentally posted they stocked it when they didn’t yet last stocking was in May last year at that point and it was tons of browns . I went that evening after work only had 2 hours to fish and I caught 5 real nice fish that lived through whole summer in that stream and also those fish all you could tell had spawned . 2 holes I fish I caught pairs of male/female browns . Other one I caught was way up stream above stocking locations I’m sure more were around and also caught a 6th fish that was a native brook trout . I’m amazed how well those fish did in new creek with how dry it got at end of summer this past year . That stream was a very low trickle end of august. Makes me wish they would make the section above the turn off to Burlington catch & release and only stock it with browns and brooks . I had a big rainbow on that day it got off though so couldn’t count it but it also had survived the summer . North fork of south branch was the same way this past year . All summer long brown trout were all over the river . They survived all summer long and thrived even in late August when it got super low and warm . Somehow I noticed this year the strain of Brown trout they are stocking are able to handle temperatures of water that no one would believe and thrive. They were feeding off the surface in the evenings and everything and I’m sure that water was 75 degrees at least. Didn’t fish those days went mushroom hunting but could easily see them swimming and feeding still. Even in small to medium sized lakes like Dam 14 the fish stocked in spring survived . Me and my buddy caught two of the brooder tiger trout that were stocked in May in early October . Just shows people need to realize these fish are hardier and know how to survive if they have adequate food supply and oxygen . I think their survival through summer months has more to do with cleanliness of water and oxygen levels than temperatures now. If water isn’t as clean the oxygen levels are lower so at warmer temperatures they can’t handle that. The dirtier streams/lakes get algae and that sucks up oxygen and causes them to die . This year had started out pretty well for me and now weather appears to be turning more towards spring so fishing is only going to get better here on out 👍 Good luck in your adventures as well wish you the best keep catching them giants 💯

Nothing is worse than a heavy fish take, that either comes loose or snaps off, that you never see.

Hey Man ... I recogn that you upgrad your setup. Nice rod for sure but maybe a hair stiffer than what you used too 🤷‍♂️ Maybe one of many reasons you lost those fish? But gorgeous fish you manged to net thought. What lineweigt did you chose for this particular rod?

Do you tie your own streamers/flies?

Gotta laugh... much of the audio in this one sounds more like me: "NOOOOOOOOO!!"

Hey I have browns a couple times a year take my streamers and the line will have teeth marks on it, they seem to just bite through the line. I’m thinking of using a short section big bite tippet. Have you tried this ? Thanks, loved the content!!!

never back down never WHAT

I'd rather be in Nature than around Humans.............

Sustainability is used as marketing jargon in what feels like every single product. It's not rare at all in today's world. Also common is RU-vid personalities, like yourself, ready copy (or ad libbing) the same BS jargon and buzz words ad nauseum.

Conservation sustainability enviro friendly nope. Who cares does it work I care. I just like fishin period
