This is the second half a fly fishing trip where I took my float tube to several lakes. The action was slow at first, but I ended up getting into some fat brook trout.
Thanks Jon. It's definitely time consuming as far as editing goes. I recently built a new computer that is quite a bit faster, but it still takes a good chunk of time.
I have my go to patterns that I typically start out with unless there's an obvious hatch going on. I don't change too often unless I can actually see fish denying certain patterns. If it's really slow i'll pump the stomach of one--assuming I catch one and change up accordingly.
I did catch a 5 lb brook years ago stripping in a big leech which is essentially a wooly bugger. Most of my bigger brooks have been caught on scuds and micro leeches though
I got gloves on amazon. The brand is "Extremely Cool" They are no longer available unfortunately. They are basically just sun gloves made out of synthetics which is a bonus. Gloves made out of organics like cotton can have a negative effect on the fish. Gloves made out polymers typically don't harm the fish like organics do.
Hey so I’m very lucky to have a lake full of 5+ pounder Brook trout I’ve only got lucky with spoons with them but what do you think the best fly is for those big guys?
It depends on the time of year and the area. There is no one magical pattern that will always get the eats. The closest thing to a magical pattern that works most of the time for me is a micro balanced leech tied in either Canadian Black or Bruised (black and blue)
Well that was a great fishing trip and great day to be on the water.Thanks for a great video, thumbs up from Down Under,, Tony.
Thanks Tony. I finally got into some fat fish.
Thanks for sharing, that second lake is a special place. I visit it often.
I agree---it's special
Beautiful scenery, water, and brook trout. I always enjoy your fly fishing adventures. Thank you so much for sharing your fun with us!
Thanks Steve. I have a fun time making the videos.
Man those are some beautiful brooks!
Yeah, there's some nice ones in there 👍
Always enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mark, I appreciate it.
Awesome adventure! 👌
Thanks Nathan as usual
Great action
Sweet! Way to turn your day around.
That second lake can be skunky too, so I'm glad it worked out.
I was worried I was going to get skunked the second day but I got into a few fatties👍
Congratulations Kendall on another stellar outing - live in the state, and still on the hunt for some decent size Brookies.
They're out there to be found. There are several lakes holding nice brookies
Wow Dude! Chunky Brookies!
Loved it. Keep up the good work.
I got into some chunks. It was fun.
Love the video my friend!
Thanks Luciano 👍
trout howler RULES!
YES! I have fooled at least one person 😁
Them fish can be picky on that mtn! Worth it to put in the work for a chance to get into some nice fish.
They are picky there more often than not.
You don't have to bribe me. I'd be watching the video anyway. Great stuff! Yea I'll comment for the flies. The ones I'm using aren't working.
Haha, I appreciate you watching Mark. Good luck on winning the flies. Very few people tried to win my last give away
Love your channel, great content and I'd imagine a lot of hard work editing and the like.
Thanks Jon. It's definitely time consuming as far as editing goes. I recently built a new computer that is quite a bit faster, but it still takes a good chunk of time.
Love to see the “Chunky” Brookies!
There are some healthy guys in there
Awesome video
Thanks Draino
You live the life man!
Sometimes haha
Always catching huge fish
Not always, but sometimes I luck out haha
Enjoying tying some bugs as I watch. Only tied a 1/2 a balanced damsel fly nymph in 15min lol. Nice healthy fish!
My videos are boring enough, so you're not too distracted from tying haha
Looks like it was a fun fishin’ day
It was slow at first but ended up being fun 😀
It went from dire times to firing! Those were some chunkie Brookies!
From dire to firing--I like that 👍
Another great video. I’d like to see a video with a closer look at the flies you use please.
I show most of them at the 1:55 mark of this video ua-cam.com/video/eB23J7QRgrs/v-deo.html
Good thing you kept hunting. Found some pigs.
I finally got into a few--it took a bit
Wowzer! Chunks!! If you want to get the fish closer to net just get a 15’ rod…😅
Not a bad idea with the 15 ft rod. I like it haha
Heck yeah!
ooohhh yeeeah
Happy about that!
Me too, haha
Nice Bud!
Thanks Mike 🤜🤛👍
How long do you go without catching a fish before you change things up? When you decide to change what are the first few things you change?
I have my go to patterns that I typically start out with unless there's an obvious hatch going on. I don't change too often unless I can actually see fish denying certain patterns. If it's really slow i'll pump the stomach of one--assuming I catch one and change up accordingly.
Let’s goooooo
Hahaha, i do say that waaaaaay too much
Hey have you had any Brook trout over 5 pounds on the Wollybugger?
I did catch a 5 lb brook years ago stripping in a big leech which is essentially a wooly bugger. Most of my bigger brooks have been caught on scuds and micro leeches though
I didn't know Utah had that big of brookies
There are some decent brook trout in Utah.
Wow that’s Awsome is that on grand mesa
No but oddly enough I was recently up on the mesa
Awesome brooks! I noticed you’ve been using those gloves for a bit now would you recommend them to others and if you would what brand are they?

Total toad male with hook jaw. Good perseverance.
It eventually paid off 😁
It didn't look like a lake you were fishing. It looked like a small pond.
Most people don't consider Utah lake small 😁 haha
@@TroutHowler What does Utah lake have to do with that small pond you were fishing?
@@davidbentley8092 I guess you didn't find that as funny as I did. It was meant to be a joke. It was just a pond
