Streamer Fishing for BIG TROUT!! Creek Fishing Chaos (New PB??)

Streamer fishing for brown trout is one of our favorite things to do. The crazy strikes and predatory nature of a big brown trout make them the apex predators in small streams everywhere. In this video we grabbed our fly rods and streamers and attempted to catch brown trout and possibly some rainbow trout. I lucked out and caught one of my biggest wild rainbow trout of my life while fishing behind my brother. This gorgeous kyped up male rainbow trout was certainly a fish I will be remembering for some time. And for the fish to come out of a small creek / stream was even better. I hope everyone enjoys!

Man-o-man y'all land some nice fish! That rainbow was a doozy! For grins I did some digging around and found the average mature fish (rainbow) are around 16 inches long and 2 - 8 pounds. The record was a 48 pound rainbow caught in Canada. I thank the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the info. Since my fishing days are probably over, it is sure nice to watch others land some quality fish. Trout fishing was my favorite. Thanks for sharing something wonderful and positive.

Trout do a lot of weird stuff so when they go up the falls and stuff like salmon they will cut themselves up pretty good on the rocks to but but when you see scars on the top of the fish like that one usually a big bird is trying to get it but beautiful fish keep up the good fishing

Looked like eagle or maybe osprey took a smack at that trout, you can kinda see that marks of the talons like only one of the birds legs connected and the fish got either dropped back to the water or never got fully taken out maybe because the bird only got on foot of talons and the fish was to big for on foot. That's my opinion I live near ct river and catch shad that have similar marks from bald eagles and ospreys connecting but not successful.

What a great outing you all had! I have a possible suggestion regarding the wounded brown trout - river otter. Virginia “reintroduced” them about thirty years ago; not sure if West Virginia ever did. In any event, the scarring suggests otter: they try to catch and hold fish by the head (when I was younger, I owned a small spring fed trout pond in western Virginia ... I’m aware of what otters can do). That lovely rainbow? Wonder if it might not have just a touch of cutthroat DNA in its ancestry. Nearly half a century ago, a fisheries biologist with the old Bureau of Sport Fisheries & Wildlife (now Fish & Wildlife Service) told me that several of the federal hatcheries in the southeast (especially) had “rainbows” with some cutthroat lineage, a line going back to the early years of the twentieth century. So, if that stream has had “wild” rainbows for a long, long time and if it had ever received federal hatchery fish, say pre-1960, then yeah a hint of cutt is possible ... notice the light spotting toward the head, heavy spotting toward the tail? That can be a give-away. Love your videos - keep up the great work!
@hardmanfishing
@hardmanfishing 3 года назад
I thought it could be an otter but I've never seen one in that area and I virtually lived there for 4 years. I have seen otters in a different drainage not too terribly far away though so it is possible. And yes those fish have been in there for a very long time. And apparently some people say that there are some long lost cut bow type of hybrids in that system. But others say it is a myth. There are very clear differences in rainbows in that drainage though, so I'd be willing to bet some money on a few different strains of rainbows being introduced at one time. At this point though they're so mixed together through generations of spawning that it would be tough to ever know for sure. Anyway thanks for watching!

More than likely the scars were from a small osprey, an inexperienced yearling or same for a baby black bear. Eagles catch way bigger fish right down here in Ela and Bryson City.

If you're truly using mini dungeons and small stream fishing I'd assume you aren't going for fish much over 20. In which case a 6 wt may be your best bet honestly. We use 7 wt or 8 wts but we also fish much larger streamers and have the chance of catching really large fish.

@hardmanfishing
@hardmanfishing 3 года назад
I mean we use rubber coated nets, wet our hands, nearly always use barbless hooks, handle fish correctly, and only take the fish out of the water for 5 seconds or so at a time. Unless you don’t want to see the fish I’m not sure what more we can do. Anyway glad you like the videos!
@JOHND224
@JOHND224 3 года назад
5 seconds is way to long to have them out of the water. And also you can record and take pictures fish while they are still in the water were there oxygen is. Out of all the fishing channels i am subscribed to you are the only one who needs to have them out that long. Go check out trippin on trout channel. I have learned thing about the harm and much more from him. Plus amazing videos. Im not trying to be a hater but i believe you can fish and handle them alil better. Keep your videos coming tho i do enjoy them besides what i mentioned. Trail on and tight lines
