The Little Creek with Big Fish! (Tenkara Fly Fishing) 

Yep, it was!

Thanks Ethan!

Thanks Rafał

Thanks Johanna!

It's the best 👍

Thanks!

The videos are delayed a bit, I've actually finished all of the Utah counties now 👍👍

They've been stocking tigers and splake since the 1950s.

I agree!

Thanks Caleb 👍

Yep, lots of great fishing there! Thanks Grant.

I agree! Thanks Ben

Thanks Allen 👍

Yep, great little spot to fish

Thanks Robert!

Thanks Andrew!

Thanks John

I wish I had it closer to home!

Davi

Thanks!

I just moved to Utah. Do you know what stream this is or it's whereabouts?

@@lifeofdanno8494 Yes, I know this stream. My suggestion is to read Flyfisher's Guide to UTAH by James B. DeMoux. Good luck!

It was a really fun place to fish!

That info is always in the video description 👍

Nah, I've never really cared for prescription sunglasses 😁

I'd rather just eat a peanut butter sandwich 😁

I would have been happy catching all 10 inchers in this stream too. Nothing wrong with that at all!

🇮🇹🌲🌳👍

Thanks 👍

He is in Utah, the state just south of Idaho.

In some places, yes. Thanks for watching.

Tenkara rods are a lot of fun to fish with. Give it a shot!

Usually tigers are planted

I prefer not to fish in the dark, do it was an easy choice to turn around. Sorry, you'll have to look elsewhere for more warm water stuff. I'm a small stream trout guy.

Nah, not my favorite. It's a good one, though.

It's the only way I fish 👍

I think the creek is spring fed. It seemed like very clean, clear water. Thanks Steve!

Thanks!

Usually my line is the length of the rod, and the tippet is a few feet longer

Thanks man!

I'd like to fish up there some time 👍

How do you know you prefer a reel if you've never tried tenkara? 😁

Tenkara Addict I don’t know. I’ve never banged a dude before, and I know I wouldn’t like that. I guess it’s kind of like that.

Tenkara and kishu aren't the same thing, but thank for watching!

I don't live in Utah

I hike in my hip waders (Chota Tundra Hippies) and lightweight wading boots (SoftScience Terrafin). More info about the gear I use is on the "Gear I Use" page on the Tenkara Addict website.

Interesting! Yes, I found out afterward that this wasn't a native BCT drainage, but I figured they'd been stocked there anyway at some point. I've caught a lot of YCT, and they all look more golden/yellow than this. But I suppose that's where the hybrid part comes in. Thanks for sharing 👍

@@TenkaraAddict I tried to submit a fish from this stream as my CR cutthroat for one of my Utah Cutthroat slam submissions but it was rejected by DWR for that reason.

Thanks Logan

Exactly! I much prefer smaller streams. Thanks Michael

What is considered "small" stream? I recently fished arkansas river in colorado.....the parts i fished was about 30 ft. wide. I used fly rod but felt like i could have possibly done just as good with tenkara rod

Yes

If I may add, Tenkara as practiced traditionally in Japan is with almost 100% wetflies. Even the stiff hackle kebari are fished wet. Why Wet primarily? Location, location, location. Japan has alot of fast flowing mountain streams. Lots of turbulance, lots of pocket water. The dry fly just wasn't practical in that environment at that time. Each fly design the Japanese have has a specific manipulation technique associated with it. Its a fascinating subject and learning the techniques has the potential of improving your catch rate exponentially.

@@arictelian ...thanks! I do a lot of Nymphing and I used to have a Tankara style ...not brand...rod. It broke and I got into Euro Nymphing. At some point I may get another Tankara style rod.

@@WildBlueDiscovery you're welcome. Tenkara is more than what it is painted as here in the States. Back in 2011 when I first heard of it, I just continued to use "western style" flies with Tenkara. Dead drift was about It wasn't until I fished with Japanese trained anglers that I finally started to realize that divorcing the rod from the flies and the flies from the techniques was only hurting my own success. It's a whole system. I encourage you to try it again.

@@arictelian ....some good advice! Thanks! Have a Happy New Year!

It's a fun place to fish, for sure 👍

The glasses are polarized, if that's what you mean, but not electric. Thanks for watching.

Sorry, I don't reveal stream names 😁

@@TenkaraAddict I live in NW Pennsylvania and assist with the stocking locally. We put several tiger trout in every year. My understanding is that they can't reproduce since they are a hybrid but they sure are unique. I just ordered my first Tenkara rod and am anxious to put it to use

Utah stocks them pretty regularly in certain lakes. In this case, I believe they were stocked in the lake that this creek feeds into. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

I will at some point. Thanks for watching.

No idea, sorry.

Tenkara Addict ok thanks for the response

Nope, generally a strike indicator is not used in tenkara. You basically just watch the end of the line.

Yep, I finished with each county last year 👍

@@TenkaraAddict where'd you go? South Willow Creek?

It's called tenkara. It's a Japanese form of fly fishing made for going after trout in small mountain streams, and that's the focus of my channel. Tenkara has really only been practiced widely outside of Japan for the last decade or so. Thanks for watching.

@@TenkaraAddict very interesting , thank you ps I love how you're frothing about "BIG FISH" when they're tiny 😂 It's all relative I guess

Check the video description 👍

He said it's in Utah

Huh?

Lol

Check the video description

They're by Streamworks, and I'm not entirely sure that company is still around.

Well dang it. I will look into it. I really appreciate you taking the time to Reply. You have a wonderful day.

I feel like the tiger trout have to be stocked

Sorry, I don't give out creek names or locations.

They were stocked into the reservoir that the creek flows into.

Sorry, I don't share specifics about the streams I fish

@@TenkaraAddict great! I fish small streams in AZ and same principle applies

Google "tenkara hand lining." It's part of tenkara. Thanks for watching 👍

He has a point though. If you ever get the chance to attend the Oni School near Salt Lake City, you will see Masami does not go for his net with his left hand until the line is under control and the fish is under control in his right hand. So, for instance, when the fish is close enough to sieze the line, you make one circle swinging motion with your left arm. It automatically catches the line. The right hand now comes in to take in more line, tips of the fingers only. This allows you to release if needs be, especially on bigger fish. Once the fish is in range, and your line is in your right hand, then you move to grab your net. This is the Japanese method. Cheers.

@@arictelian Ah So!

I don't give specifics about the streams I fish. Sorry!

I enjoy this type of fishing. You do whatever you enjoy.

Tenkara Addict true

Nope, sorry. I don't give out creek names or locations.

​@@TenkaraAddict Thank you for keeping the location a secret. It makes it fun to try and figure it out for me and others. People need to get out and explore on their own.

I don't share creek locations, sorry.

I do

@@TenkaraAddict excellent! Keep up the cool vids!
