It’s looking good so far. Bring a spud bar for good measure. With the 40s kicking in, it could be a little soft on the edges and slushy. But fishing will be at its best with the minimal pressure. Be safe!

@skiddyfishing Thank you will bring one for sure

I certainly feel lucky 🍀 🥹

Thank you! I also have an updated video as well if you want some summer flow advice. How To Fish Rivers With Tenkara #tenkara ua-cam.com/video/3zn2e6qtlU8/v-deo.html

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! 🙏 I am glad you found value over it. 🥹

Thanks Kevin! I had to fast track the fight because it was almost 10 minutes lol. That fish almost made me forget how cold I was 🥶

@@skiddyfishing haha, I'm sure it was super cold in that water! But man, a fish like that makes it worth it! And the burger, soup, sandwich.... Whatever you eat after cold weather adventures is so good haha!

@KevinRapkochFishing every meal after these crazy adventures are the best ones ever 🤣

I will be honest, I feared backlash from this video because it was so different. I want to do more tenkara talk stuff, that’s just kind of casual and something easy to listen to that engages the community in a positive manner. Thank you so much for your time and comment. I’ve actually never fished the sawtooth. Do you like it? TRC knows how to sell it!

@@skiddyfishing Absolutely do more videos like this. Sawtooth is a nice rod, not a soft 5/5 as they advertise, it's a 6/4.

@ 🥹🥹🥹

@ yea I thought that was the case too. I am surprised they haven’t updated the specs but again, rod actions are very gray haha. Thank you friend and happy thanksgiving! 🦃

Thank you for your valued time! I have yet to explore JDM but Nissin seems like the first place I will explore. All fun regardless of brand and reputation! :)

I am thankful for your support and recognition for my channels value. It keeps me driven to provide this content.

Thank you for the support! 🙏

Thanks for your support!

Welcome to the addiction! Here is a setup video for you! EASY Level Line Tenkara Setup! ua-cam.com/video/Qmo5SayVy7U/v-deo.html

Haha I know it’s weird for me too! I will strive to stay 60-70% tenkara based but I’ll admit if it’s a fly, I am happy! If it’s a native fish; even better! I hope to gain audience traffic by including western fly fishing content but not at the expense of losing tenkara support either. It’s a delicate balance 😅

I will definitely check out your videos! Thank you so much for tuning in and cheers from America! ❤️ 🍻

@@skiddyfishing Many thanks.

love those moonlit rods. is that their “base” reel? what was the line setup?

@ It’s actually an Okuma Sierra reel. I love it! It’s a small arbor but the fish in these mountains are hardly large. I love moonlit too! Though I think the 7’6” was just a bit shorter than Id like for pond hopping these lakes. I picked up an 8’4” Echo Carbon for the future Uinta visits but I have still been smacking fish in small creeks with that Umbra. It’s just too dang fun! 🤩

An honor to see you here Kevin thank you! I picked up a longer 4wt rod that is better for these lakes just in time for winter 😭 If you ever come up, ill take you to these waters.

@@skiddyfishing Haha, I'm guessing it's very difficult to get to those lakes once the snow hits! But sounds excellent brother, someday I'd love to check those lakes out. 🙂✌️🎣

@KevinRapkochFishing yep it’s snowmobile and ice fishing paradise right now haha.

@@skiddyfishing keep up the awesome work, brother!

Likewise to you too!

I prefer to wear my coat over waders rather than under but I can wear a light winter jacket or a hoodie under mine. The chest for the XL (my size) is 54”. Thanks for tuning in! :)

Haha yea never underestimate the depth of a creek! Thanks for tuning in!

This is definitely a top one to revisit.

The new boat ramp is 20 years too late but an amazing amenity. As you can tell, it’s not as peaceful with the highway noise, but there have always been good fish there.

This review is definitely a little outdated but after fishing near 40 tenkara rods since this is still a trusty one for me!

Yep! 😁

@@skiddyfishing I havent been down there yet this fall, ill have to go before it gets too cold

@veloctix it almost gets better the colder it gets. I have fished it all the way to icy edges with great success. Braving the cold is the tricky part 🥶

Can you reference the timestamp? I can’t recall saying it.

I have successfully caught a rainbow in this lake on a boat with the T-hunter. The longer rods are better for depth but are heavier for casting thus inducing fatigue so id say T-hunter from WTR.

@@skiddyfishingI'm assuming you weren't trolling?

@johnshelton2402 with the tenkara rod? No I just put the rod parallel with the water so the line was as deep as possible with a wooly bugger and lifted slowly until it was time to recast or I had a bite. :)

Keep me posted! 🤞

that brown is the biggest fish ive ever seen in there btw lol

I think I made it to the Culvert in the road and I stopped there after not seeing any fish for a few promising runs.

My energy was peaked in that moment lol 😂 same here!

😂

Glad they will work out for you! I am still rocking mine every weekend right now in the chilly temps. I will even be rocking them in Yellowstone tomorrow! Thanks for tuning in friend.

You make a great point and I really respect this comment so absolutely no judgment on my part either. I think it's important to discuss this kind of stuff. I have learned that everyone has different versions of trout passion and some of our tolerances of what is ethical are different per angler and like politics it's hard to unanimously agree. For example if you watch a state DWR agent electroshock waters to conduct fish samples, most fly anglers would have a hay day watching them get mis-handled. Also similar to releasing trout by plane hundreds of feet above a lake. This has given me a little more perspective that trout are not nearly as fragile as we probably think. Another example is the number of trout I have caught with bird claw marks on them. We as anglers assume that rubbing slime coat is imminent death but then when it works to escape another animal predator, we see their battle wounds and they are doing perfectly fine. I actually wish the native area for these beloved fish was larger to give some wiggle room to your point but obviously we can't control nature haha. It is kind of silly how we bang our heads against the wall for such a small area with tiny fish. However knowing that you fished the RR's you likely know how tough it is to fish so those little pressured fish probably get more relief than let's say the Middle Provo; which I refuse to fish for the exact reasons you mentioned above. So there is certainly validity to your point. It just comes down to our tolerance and beliefs and it would be better for someone like you to care like this than someone who would mis-treat them arrogantly. I respect that comment. :) Nothing but love from me too and I appreciate the comment. The first episode is likely the Yellowstone and I have it all wrapped up. I want to finish the second episode before releasing them. Thank you for the support! :)

@@skiddyfishing Yeah, totally. Again, definitely don't think there's anything wrong with it, it's just a silly little thing in my head, a funny technicality in a legit challenge that does a ton for conservation awareness in a state that almost prides itself on being against conservation. Definitely no worry about the ethics of it from me, the few fishermen that find them are going to treat them better than royalty. It's just a dumb image I have. Meanwhile a good friend of mine is teaching young fisherman how to back bounce worms in another stream, and people happy to have a new place to fish are jerking natives out of Lost Creek. It's SUPER not my thing and it makes me wince, but at the same time there's people starting the process of caring about it. You have to do that before you start your ethical journey. Right now I honestly think we need more fishermen out there caring about the water. there are way more smart fish in the streams than people think, the problem is the competition for the water. Just like we need more hunters caring about how deer herds succeed, as unpopular as that is. So whether it's a certified fanatic crawling on their belly in the RRs or a hick taking home an 11 inch brownie to eat, well, I'm not the judge. The water and land is under assault from a lot of directions, just as much as it was from polluters back in the 60s. Or even look at the nonsense coming out of Europe about how sport fishing tortures fish. I don't think it's worth castigating other people for crimes against fish like they're a religious symbol, unless they're breaking laws or wantonly destroying fish. People get this image that trout are ethereal and delicate because hey only look at the mystique. Meanwhile like you say the state is dropping them from aircraft. If you only stay in one viewpoint, in one community, you're in an echo chamber where things just escalate and become performative. You probably deal with that all the time. Today it's flyfishing youtube, decades ago it was magazines, etc. Meanwhile half of these people wringing their hands are absolutely interested in shooting a sandhill crane or bighorn sheep right in the face. I honestly haven't even tried fishing up there, too hard for me lol, we're usually just going for a hike. If I go up for more than a few hours sometime maybe I'll drop something in and see what happens. We have a little brittany so by the time we get up there he has to go for so long I never wet a line. I know you probably deal with armchair critics all the time so I'm just yanking the chain a little.

@jcarry5214 ha ha no worries on my part brother. You have so many amazing points and you are right, this needs to be discussed. That’s the inspiration of this series. When I did the Wyoming Cutt Slam, you can see how much of a native area to Wyoming the CRCT has but it’s all arid, dry farmland that eradicates the rivers. You should watch the Bitterroot ranch stories on the East Fork Wind River Yellowstone cutthroat. It’s some of the best preserved water in Wyoming and believe me there’s not a lot of it left. We are growing dry in the west and it’s scary. The Bear River has a similar problem too. Too much water use and not enough return. I don’t think anything that you’re thinking in your mind is ridiculous. 😇

The pun is totally welcomed my friend. Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad it helped you. Your 8’ rod is probably better for the streams with a longer rod being more appropriate for this element or perhaps dual purpose and good for both too! I fish mostly 9-11’ rods for the bulk majority of my mountain streams, even with heavy vegetation. Checkout other videos on my channel for that inspiration too! :)

An incredibly selfless gesture for sure! She is awesome 👏

Thank you Jeff! Im sure I sold my excitement on it 😂

This one is quickly rising to be a favorite! I get overzealous on small fish too so that big one had me nearly jumping for joy haha. 😂 Thanks for watching friend! 🙏

I agree, that creek looks like a blast. And that was the perfect rod. I love pocket water like that, especially if there aren't to many trees overhead so i dont have to bow and arrow cast the whole time.

@@nathanpetersen8428 I am incredibly grateful I stumbled upon this one! 🤗

I think I was using 3x tippet on this with a knot connection to the braid. I chocked it down to a bad knot. We don’t have many pike lakes here in Utah but I think you have some great points here.

@@skiddyfishing I would like you to go to Ohio with Wasatch Tenkara Rods, get some Ohio steelhead from Lake Erie tributaries.

@CastorFamily-i6c maybe they will fund it! I wouldn’t say no 😂😅

@@skiddyfishing i got a 23.5 inch steelhead on the Siyco.

@CastorFamily-i6c I bet that was fun! 🤩

Thanks for the support Neil!
