Tiny Stream Fishing & Foraging for Trout, Crawfish & Mushrooms! 

Arran and I went out on a second trip after this and had even more success!! Check out Episode 2 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1QF6p0Dx8z0.html

WE NEED A PART 2 WITH AARON Let’s thumbs this up so Ace can see :)

Aaron seems super knowledgeable about the area. Exactly the kind of guy you want to take along on an adventure like this.

Can we just APPRECIATE how COOL Arran is, this man be going full on bow and arrow-like style, and he also can cook RAMEN. This guy is a legend.

Man this kind of video is my favorite. I love just getting lost in the forest like this. Can we take a minute to admire and appreciate how scenic this place is? And NOT flooded with trash and empty beer cans? What a concept!

Part 2 with Aaron. He seems so nice and fun!

All mushrooms are edible. Some are only edible once.

One of the Practices of many Native Americans when hunting or harvesting is to only remove One of Three. So if you see 6 fish in a pool you would only take 2. Awesome Show guys.

Will happily watch this again! Love these videos

Aaron needs a RU-vid channel. This was amazing ! The experience , I’d love this !!!

this looks like the life of a peaceful man. fishing for meat, getting mushrooms for added nutrients, staying curious while learning and exploring in the outdoors in its natural wonders and beauty. super nice!

The coral mushrooms that you found are an edible coral mushroom species called Crown-Tipped Coral Mushrooms. They tend to grow directly on dead wood, especially aspen, oak, poplar and willow trees. They are edible and have an earthy, mild, woodsy flavor with a slight peppery aftertaste, but with a word of caution. They can cause gastrointestinal upset in some people, but not often. When trying them for the first time, eat just a little and see how your stomach reacts. There are only two colors of Coral Mushrooms that are edible. Tan, and White. The toxic look-a-likes are bright orange and purple. DO NOT TOUCH THEM! I REPEAT: DO NOT TOUCH THEM! They are HIGHLY poisonous. But, when picking the edible Crown-Tipped Coral Mushrooms, I suggest picking the whitest ones possible because they do brown very quickly once you pick them. I mean, if you enjoy mushy mushrooms, then go for it! I hope this helps!

That person, Aron's fishing technic is just like south asian, In Bangladesh we catch fish like that and the fishing rod is call "Borshi" in Bangla, and we used to make this rod using thin bamboo and nylon thread. Good to see people from abroad using our traditional fish catching technic

I could watch this straight even if it's 3 hours long, this is relaxing af. 💖

I live in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. I love going up the small creeks in these mountains. A ten inch trout is a monster when you fish these tiny creeks. Now these creeks will have some deep pools ever now n then. You have to hunt these fish as well as fish for them . You have to step soft and easy. You must make sure you don't cast a shadow on the water. These fish are used to small animals trying to catch them. Most of the time it's ruff going. Laurels are thick and hard to move in. I go up the mountains sometimes and drop off a ridge and hit the top of the creeks. At the top of these creeks you will catch what we call " Mountain trout" .they really are Brook trout .when you get down low where these little creeks are about to hit the bigger creeks you will start catching rainbow or brown trout. These are the offspring of stocked trout that are put in the bigger trout.its some of the best fishing times I ever had. But beware you will run into things that could hurt you. Bears . Cats and even wild dogs. So have something to protect yourself

I have to say I love the second channel and it’s focus on the long form content and decreased editing, it really is the closest you can come to delivering an accurate experience without live streaming. Keep it up I love it!

I'm just gonna tell you...I've never sat though 46 minutes of video and been so happy about it...I love this guy

Duuude you need to go fishing with him again he’s amazing

Ace is such a great guy. The fact he goes fishing with anyone that is truly awesome. What a great guy

Oh so that is why. Alright, will gladly watch it again

I rarely ever watch RU-vid videos this long but I couldn't look away. Beautiful scenery and food. I'd love to go on an adventure like this

This is my idea of absolute of heaven, if I only had one day left to live this is what I’d do!!!

I just found you and really enjoyed the video! You treated the young man with much respect all day and it was really fun to see you gather mushrooms, catch crayfish, and catch trout while trying a new style rod!

Hi guys! Some of the mushrooms you are picking as chanterelles are Not. They are either Chrysomphalina or Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca.

This place is exactly what am looking forward spending life embracing nature.

I wish I had friends like you guys. All my friends moved on or moved away and I haven't hung out with someone in like 6 years like this.

No problem watching the video again, love it!!

You're one with the forest! Feeding off the land is precious!

Arran is such a cool dude. Perfect fishing buddy.

Dude this spot looks so nice, wish I lived near an area similar, I would go fishing and foraging every day!

Aaran is an inspiring young man. That fishing technique is insane!.....His outdoor knowledge is awesome as well.

I have never seen anyone cast in such small pools that was awesome

This is one of the best videos i ever watched those mountains are paradise. I wish we had more spots like this that got better each year. We need to praise the Lord for what he has given us and make rational decisions for our future.

When I was young my mom always tell me don't talk to strangers. But If u talk strangers u always learn something new and fun.

The red mushrooms on the tree are reishi mushrooms. Great for making medicinal tea.

The trout from these small streams in the mountains are very good. I've had them before while camping up there.

One of my favorites when you go mountain stream fishing . I love seeing videos of your walks through the mountain . Simply beautiful and awesome . Thank you so very much .

@acevideos2 this was by far one of your most coolest videos especially making it special having someone guide you and also catch and cook for you! Really amazing and loved watching you guys forge for mushrooms. Also glad you guys didn't run up on that massive yellow jacket nest!

not a problem to rewatch, i love your mushroom hunting videos with catch and cooks

I'm going to have to say this is been the best RU-vid video of yours I've seen but somebody who wants to learn Japanese fly fishing does the young lad have his own RU-vid

My boyfriend and I just love your vids. We just throughly enjoy watching them. I actually wait for you to post and get excited when you do. Keep up the good work !

for about 8mins i thought i was going crazy and that im either experiencing dejavu or something. im going to watch it again anyway. it was a pretty awesome video the first time. ace it would be great if you picked up a tenkara combo (and sponsorship of course) and have a few more day trips with arran. this type of fishing is something that a major youtuber like yourself could capitalise on. you could get your bro to tag along and me ancient with his 30 year old MREs with the funky pudding

Just as a bit of feedback this is my favorite video of yours so far. I love going deep in the woods and I love foraging

When I was a kid we fished like that. Only our streams were very narrow but deep. We where taught to sneak up on the stream very slowly and quietly. Without looking over the edge we would then slowly lower a leaf worm on a small hook into the water. The instant the worm touched the water....it was fish on. It was like hunting fish. Those were great days in Wanakena NY.

- 2:47 Psilocybe Weraroa, not edible. - 2:50 Oak-loving Collybia Toxic - 5:19 Looks like a Vermilion waxcap, edible but not popular or culinary value. Loved for photographers because of its beautiful color! :) - 22:19 White Coral mushrooms edibles! ;) - 24:26 Fish was saved by its beauty privilege 🤣 - 28:49 Artist’s bracket and alies (Ganoderma) - Check my videos in my channel 😉 * 15:25 I would always carry my Benadryl, and some actived charcoal just in case of allergies and poison bites 😉

we need to see arron again!!

Both of y'all are my kinda people. I wish I had friends like you guys 😅 Edit: What an absolute epic set up he has. His style of cooking matches the overall epicness of this trip.

When I go Creek fishing in the mountains I generally don't bring a fishing pole just some string a small hook find a nice 5 ft stick, tie a hook to about 10 ft of line.... Then I find some worms and hike up above the pool and throw it in the creek and let it float down the little waterfalls into the little nicks and crannies underneath the logs and behind the rocks

25:30 Dang that cast and retrieve right into the net was clean af

The old mountain people used a fly rod ,like a cane pole. Tiny streams are my favorite places to fish. The first trout I ever caught was a little speckled trout, in the Smokies. Above 4000 ft. I have found many bees, mostly yellow jackets in trout. Those panther martins are very good. Black or brown rooter tails are also excellent. It is much better to never touch a trout you are putting back. Use pliers, hold eye of hook and flick it off over the water. Anyway, great video!

I don't even care that I've already seen it 2 times, I'm watching again

It's common practice to wear gloves when identifying mushrooms and avoid rubbing your face and eyes. Also you should give the caps a little flick before picking so you can release spores, and hopefully spawn more mushrooms.

- 42:47 Wow! This guy will survive in the forest by a fancy way! 😆

Dude Aaron is like a fishing guru

I don't really watch fishing videos all the way tru ..but yall guys have my respect..nice

I know this is an old video but i personally enjoy watching you get together with your subscribers and fishing random places like this.

Stunning vid of those gorgeous deep mountain rills, beautiful photography,just follow them streams,and see where they take ya,,,,nothing like it!!😎

I love your channel! Such a fun guy with great vids keep it up!!!!!!

Damn I thought I was about to watch round 2!

Did you guys happen to notice that fish caught at the 25:35 mark was a tagged fish? When you catch a tagged fish you're supposed to read the info on the tag and report to the local DNR/Conservation Officer where and when you caught it, along with it's size. Helps them with population info and growth rates. BTW, that fly fishing line is braided in the same fashion as a traditional bull whip. It's braided in a series called "plaits". Those are NOT old puffballs. They're actually a species know as "Pigskin" puffballs. And they are toxic. And the "coral" mushrooms are actually edible. And yes, those are/WERE good ones that you tossed away. Except for "Yellow Tipped" and "Jellied Based" corals. and by far the best book I know of and own(and I own many)is the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms. It actually teaches yoou how to identify mushrooms and their characteristics. BEST mushroom book I own and know of. And words of wisdom...If eggs float in water...they're way beyond their "best by" date and you shouldn't 't eat them. Word to Aaron...Stick with the Kikoman soy sauce and start making your own Chili oil. FAR better than those lousy store bought sauces.

26:23 Looks to be a Suillus or Bolete, most all are edible and some are very popular. 5:18 A Waxcap, not poisonous to my knowledge but they are not eaten. 1:32 Suillus species, edible. 2:51 Is an Amanita, which is the group that contains the two deadliest mushrooms in North America along with a good amount of quite poisonous and psychedelic and even some that are choice but are rarely eaten because they are hard to ID.

Best youtuber out here. Not “best fishing youtuber” Nah BEST RU-vidR OUT HERE!! Keep it up! You never disappoint!

I love to hear these words from ace: "what's going on guys"

That is one of the most beautiful places I've seen! Thanks for sharing !

Arran in this Video make a lot more interesting to watch 👏 👏👍

That was so different than anything I have seen on RU-vid. Awesome! Definitely subscribed. Thank you so much, Ms Pat from southern Indiana 🌹

When ace posts you know it’s gonna be a good day

This video was super awesome. Fishing out in the forest and then cooking a 5 star meal!! Insanely cool!

I have been waiting for your videos to come out

I didn’t even realize I watched this full 45 minute video. Great movie bro

Those were some slow crawdads..I had this method where I'd slowly remove the rock and place a net behind him and scare him from the front with free hand. They swim backwards so they'd always end up in my net.

Enjoy your saltwater episodes but this is a great change of pace. Nice Japanese telescopic fly rod. Beautiful country foraging for chanterelles and rainbows. I’m thinking Aaron should have his own channel I would certainly watch. Very interesting content.

I absolutely love the first 5 minutes of this video so far. That traditional style of trout fishing blows my mind.. love it!

a 5 star kind of adventure

The puff balls you threw away weren't just old....they were poison puffballs....always make sure they are completely white on the inside lol I believe the coral mushrooms were crown tipped coral mushrooms....but you have to be careful with corals even the good ones cause stomach upset for some people

When I was a kid we had a trout camp in Pennsylvania and my absolute favorite thing was fishing spring fed streams just like that. You could step across it, full of native Brook trout. Me and my German shepherd. Best days of my life!!!!!!!!

Foraging + Catch N' Cook= Best videos!

Great video. I’m a fan of mushrooms, fishing and cooking. Only thing id have done different is cut the heads and add them too the soup base. I’m so hungry now!

Wow. I really enjoyed this video. What a Cool Friend you Made out there. I really enjoyed watching his technique for fishing and cooking. Great Video Guys :0)

Aaron is extremely knowledgeable. My brother and I used to do this every weekend in Pennsylvania. We would find a small wash that was running down to the stream and work our way all the way up to where it was bubbling out of the mountain. Found newts, some of the best native brookie steams in the eastern us. Looks VERY similar!!! What a blast...

Very interesting, as l watched through to the end, l was very impressed an loving it too, FISHING!!! Lol, that’s exactly got my attention, well,it was COOL, thanks 🙏 boys, blessings 🙏🙏👍👍❤️❤️,

The water is crazy clear

THIS GUY NEEDS HIS OWN CHANNEL!!!!

16:44 I love the after catch shakes. Had that adrenaline going after netting that beautiful Brook Trout. 👍🏽

Love the adventure you guys did......wish I could join you two......

What a beautiful fish

Hey Ace i caught my limit on rainbows at Salmon damn yesterday and they wanted me to tell you hello. Cheers!! i'm eating Idaho trout with yah right now.

The mountain creek fishing is so much fun , especially in a light rainy day.

LOVE this forage, catch & cook!

This video is underrated on Ace’s channel

This is my first ACE video, insta-sub. Love the content already I'm excited to dive into more of your videos. Love that you're not ashamed of God and display your love for Him in your vids man!

Awesome job guys. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video guys. Remember being as young as ten crawling through laurel thickets up small streams catching those natives. No trail beside some of the streams we use to fish. What I wouldn't give for one more time with my brother catching and eating a few of those fish. We did this 50 years ago my relatives 50 years before that. As long as people do like these guys and keep only what they need and the larger fish 50 years from now people will still be catching those "mountain trout" as we use to call them.

So good I'll watch it twice.

one of your best videos enjoyed every single bit would love to see more of these in the future 👍🏻

Love everything about this video! This is how I roll, except I use a hobo real. Love it. Especially the filter for the spring water!

Used to creep up on small streams like this when solo camping. Had line spooled on flat cardboard. Always caught small trout this way and ate well.

Cut chanterelles at the base when harvesting. It leaves everything intact underground so it will keep growing. You’ll end up cutting that part off when you prep them to eat anyway.

Probably the best video I’ve seen of you yet!

I like your adventure in the valley to catch fish & getting the mushroom and cook and then to eat.
