I Found a Trout Honey Hole! (Tenkara Fly Fishing) 

Thanks for watching! Here's the green UV yarn I use in this video: flytyingyarn.com/collections/flora-and-fauna-farm-yarns/products/vibrant-green-uv-flora-and-fauna-farm-yarn

My bucket list fish is the trout ....I think I've caught everything from Sunnie's to small mouth bass.Plus everything that is in the water,(fresh water) , except for trout.. Thanks for letting me tag along!🕊️

These vids are my latest RU-vid addiction

Idk if it’s just cause I’m deprived from fishing but there’s just something about that creek that makes it stunning Awesome video my guy

Those clear water streams ouf the high desert/ Rocky mountain foothills are Tru treasures. I have fished the San Juan in New Mexico. The quality waters there hold browns that make grown men cry

Beauty of stream!

What a beautiful stream with beautiful fish! Thanks for the video!

Beautiful landscape! So peaceful...

Love the quiet,small areas,love it!!!

Man this video makes me super excited to get to Vernal UT for the 1st time ever tomorrow. Hope I can have just half the success you did in this vid!

Wow. What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful stream. It’s hard to leave the fishing! I know, been there done that!! Wonderful video. Thank you!!!

What a dream Stream, a fisherman’s fantasy come true.

Reminds me of the Owens River in the Eastern Sierra.

Really enjoyed the music at the beginning of the video. It was a nice little addition!

What a fun day and beautiful stream! That big brookie was stunning ... both in size and color. Loved the look of the stream above the culvert! Awesome video dude! Heading out myself to fish a really small stream here in Colorado ... hopefully I can find some fish in the high water!

Love watching your videos 😊

That is a fun creek!

High Desert fishing! What a great stream!

Wow, what a jewel of a stream - and what a beautiful high desert valley! Thank you again for these outstanding tenkara adventures!

Great video as always, thanks! IMO I think Brookies are pound for pound the best fighters.

I have never had more than catching small lively trout on a fly. Sure a big one is nice but the steady fun of a lot of smaller fish is far more satisfying.

Haha Thanks buddy!! Great creek and Glade you enjoyed it!! Let’s go again sometime! I think the creek northwest from there might have what your looking for. I got my eyes on a new place I’m going to try this summer. You probably have already fished it haha!

I’ve fished this creek twice it’s a real hidden gem with some surprisingly large trout. My son caught a 14 inch brookie out of this one! We were definitely surprised and delighted with his amazing catch! I enjoy your videos a lot and love to see the awesome trout fishing in Idaho getting some air time 👍🏻!

🙂Love the "White Arrow of Hookness". Fish on T. 👍

lovely little spot there.

These views man!!!! What a fly fishing utopia.

Nice looks like you had a great time. GOD Bless you and your families

You catch more trout in 1 day then I catch all season!

That rainbow jumped on the fly with both pectoral fins!

Too cool!

I used to fish the streams like this. I really tried not to walk in the water to protect the spawning beds, leave an undisturbed pool for the next guy that may be behind me. Some areas you had such tight brush, you had no choice but to walk in the stream. If you were looking for a Brown in that pool, they would have been in the overhang in the pool and not out in the middle like the Rainbows and Brookies. Remember a brown is looking for the right sized Rainbow and/or Brookie to eat! The diet is generally different for them, but I have caught some very big browns on some tiny, tiny flies! I have gotten used to lake fishing and when the smallest fish I catch is 14” but the common size is 19 - 22”. In the end, my best was 28” and a jumping fool!! We fish with 7-8 weight rods and reels. I prefer stripping and trolling from a very slow moving boat, but have started to get into indicator fishing as well. The indicator fishing can produce better most days. We are in really windy country mind you so sometimes, if you challenge the waves, dead trolling a fly at somewhat slow speeds produces very well!! The action all comes from the boat and the rod tip bouncing around erratically. I use a 10 foot Jon Boat, Marlin brand. They are nice and sturdy as well as very stable for their size. 40 lb thrust electric trolling motor transom mounted and away I go. There was one time when I came in with the boat, I had about 8-9” of water INSIDE the boat!! Hahaha. They are positive floatation, so long as you don’t do something stupid like cut out the foam in the seats for more storage,,,,,,. I have seen that too often and it’s the reason I wound up buying a brand new boat vs used. So many had been altered. In the conditions I’m willing to fish, I want as much floatation as is possible!! Hahaha. Some great memories triggered watching you.

I was catching fish like this in the upper mill creek in California by Blackrock in the Ishi wilderness.Caught some beautiful wild rainbows there.

looks like the creeks east of Hart mt Oregon. my dad and his buddies would fly fish these tiny desert creeks. so much fun

A grasshopper would do really well here 😎

I dig these off the beaten path locations. Very cool. You might also dig The Lateral Line guys page too. They are in New Zealand catching King Fish!

Great video, beautiful fishing spot. I have a question I'm somewhat new to tenkara and I've been using furrled line since my first rod(dragontail shadowfire) came with it I recently bought a nissan pro two way and was considering putting level line on it, I was wondering what are the benefits to using level line and is there more of a learning curve with casting it?

i dont know where your fishing , dont let those shallow narrow creeks fool you, i caught some mighty impressive fish out of those types of creeks

As soon as I saw your video, I subscribed to your channel. It was the first time that on youtube I saw someone fishing with this technique of fishing with a fixed rod, without a reel and I wanted to ask you. Do you know that in Italy, where I live, a similar fishing technique exists or rather existed, which is no longer practiced by anyone? It is called the Valsesiana technique and was practiced with a rod similar to the one you use, but with 3 submerged or emerging flies to fish for grayling especially in the Sesia River and other rivers in northern Italy. I will continue to follow you and see the beautiful places that host your fishing trips. Good boy!

Huge flyfisherman here. Never tried tenkara. Think I might just give it a try. Living in Arizona now and can see a big advantage to this method on the skittish water I now fish.

I'd find it interesting to know more about the locations you fish. Time of day and weather conditions. Also, do you remove barbs from your fish hooks? Thanks

A reel would just get in the way? Although I gotta say, you are damn good at flipping those fish into your net.

what pattern are you using may i ask?

Great vids, grew up in North Jersey fishing for natines in the early 70s, interested in that rod,would appreciate a link n description for purchase,thks Nick

It's the Honey Hole Hideout, me want Honey Hole!

im not sure if this has been asked before or if its taboo but.. is there a hybrid tenkara rod w eyes and line tied at bottom? i dont need a reel, just stuck to old ways pulling the string and pinching it.

Is this stream in southwestern Wyoming?

Can you share what app you use to ensure you are on public land? Many streams in the west are essentially surrounded by private land until you get to NFS.

What was the target species? A variety of cutthroat?

I'm from Maine fishing is great and so is hunting

That's crazy. There must have been a swarm right there.

Just curious. I've watched a few of your videos.. do you always fish facing upstream?

any time those little creeks go through a metal culvert it washes out a big deep hole that is always full of fish.

Looks almost exactly like one of my favorite creeks to fish with my micro ultralight gear. Though I typically stalk the fish from the banks and stay low to avoid spooking them. 🎣

Do you wet your hands as you taken your catched fish out? In Europe it is common to do so to prevent/ protect the fish.

You will find that in a fair sized stream the larger trout are closer to the head of the hold.

8 inches? lol that’s why there’s so many 20 inch fish

👍👍👍

Do you sell any of the flys you use in you videos?

I need that net! Do you have a link?

The target species could be anything, Brown, Cutthroat, Golden perhaps even a Yamame or Biwa Trout !

what makes for a too long line?

I wish that finding brook trout was that easy here in the South.

Pretty parr marks! 👍😄

Hot fly. Honey hole indeed.

tributary of Green River??

Lake Chester California now theres 4 7 pound trout i was catching on gold cast master realing slow jiging 7 a day

Red Band your target?

About any time you have a culvert and sufficient water you'll have fish

Pregunta todos los peces en tenkara son pequeños???

Where is that located at?? Looks super pretty and would definitely wanna take the kids camping there.

What state is this?

what kind of tenkara fly line you use?

I don’t get what tenkara offers that fly fishing doesn’t

You'll find big trout in the undercuts of the banks in those narrow creeks. Hard to cast to them though.

Do you keep any of them

Your videos alway get me excited to hit the water again! I see you like to fish allot of places I also like to fish. In the future if you’re able and willing I think it would be cool to connect and fish a stream together. Is there a way I can get ahold of you via Email ?

Do you ever do a catch and cook as part of your RV channel?

You have to tell us where these areas are??

You dont eat them?

Great video 9.7 out of 10.

golden trout?????????????????????

Cryptozoology with a fly. Bull trout?

Where are you??

Nevada

Euro Nymphing (tight line) and Tenkara (dapping) is not fly fishing

Lake Chelan 24 pound trout

wtf was the target species?

Not using a reel may I ask Why not

Perhaps sharpening your hook between catches might help you connect a lot more.

Maybe I missed it by why did you not mention the species of trout you were aiming for. but great fishing anyways.

If you are after goldens, let me know, I can put you on ideal Tenkara streams with lots of California Goldens. (you would need to come to California) just got back from there a couple days ago. its going to be a really bad low water year unfortunately.

New subscriber, state?? Thanks..
