Michigan Trout Fishing - BIG FISH Day - Brown Trout and Brook Trout 

I volunteered with a Michigan chapter of TU (in the lower peninsula) some years ago. We performed an electroshock survey in the home stream (a small river; I would call it a nice creek, very similar to this stream). Caught, measured, clipped a fin, and released. All browns, 4"/6"/8" but... we pulled two 20" browns out of that particular section. I would never have believed it if I had not seen them with my own eyes. Nice job Crouse. jc

OMG that take by the big Brown under the log was awesome! They can sure scare the crap out of you when they pounce like that! Great video, thank you!

I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun I had and enjoyment watching this video! Thank you for taking the time and effort to share this with us, I know it means a great deal to me, thank you again and happy fishing!

Good job. Your lack of pretentiousness is a fine quality. Good luck and keep releasing.

What a beautiful stream, you earned that first brown. What a tricky cast.

Great video. Nice fish. Looking forward to another summer of trout fishing in Northern Michigan

That was so sick!!

The scenery and the sounds...and the fish...thank you ever so much for sharing with us! That was truly a moment of Zen for me you took me away from the 107 heat index here in Florida today...much needed relief. Again, many thanks and stay healthy!

I have fished the same log jam at my spot for the last 5 yrs ...I've never landed a fish out it , but have hooked some dukes . THIS YEAR IS MY YEAR !!!!! 😂

This video is still fun to watch.

Nice. Brown under that tree. Great called shot

COOL!

What fantastic footage. Well done!

You can catch some nice browns using size 0 or 1 too! Never think the lure is too small. Sometimes micro fishing is the best way

Nice video!!! On gold blade spinners... Take a black Sharpie and add some black dots to the blade. Trust me.

Unreal! Freaking fantastic fishing!

Beautiful fish! Can’t beat the west side of the state.

Awesome video! You’re a talented fisherman

Great outing, that Brookie was a darn good one! (not that the Browns weren't) 👍

That was insane man!!! Big fun!

I'll be lucky to catch one like that around my part of Michigan

I’ve started to get into fishing by myself over the last few years as no one else in my family fishes or anything like that. I live in Michigan and normally just bass fish but fly fishing is something I’ve wanted to get into since there are a lot of small creeks near my area. To be honest, I did not know you could catch trout in small creeks with spinners so I will definitely be trying this the coming week.

Where about in Michigan are you from? I live in holland and there are a few cold water streams that are about 15 miles south of me that hold browns, brookies and steelhead. But I haven't had much luck finding new water....

That hog you hooked from less than 6 feet away was CLUTCH! Did you figure it was worth still going for because it was in such a tough-to-fish location that it probably was less pressured by other anglers?

Omg wow. My brother and I just got back from trout fishing and didn’t catch anything this big.

I fish small creeks in the Cadillac area with worms and spawn but never have your luck. I think I’m going to try the panthers after watching your videos

If you haven't yet get that gold panther Martin with the yellow and red rooster tail on it. It catches trout, more so then the black and gold one I think

Do you ever fly fish these tiny creeks? I wonder if a downstream presentation of a weighted streamer on the edge of structure would work.

What net is that? It looks pretty nice. I don't know how big a net you can use on a trout stream but I'm guessing that net is pretty close to the maximum.

I notice you handle the line with your left hand on each cast. Can you explain why you are doing that? Thx

Niceeee😎

Just subbed. 👍

How far up these creeks do you normally wade?

Can you tell me what country your in ? Or by

this looks like an area that i know of... kalkaska county? state land? ausable? Manistee?

How much do you fish the muskegon River!?

Is this LP or UP? Thx

What are the jerk baits you use the most

Interesting but not a fan of treble hooks on trout. Sorry dude.
