The thing about secrets is not to tell them, that defeats the point of it being a secret. #themoreyouknow
"secret" is a loosely used term when talking about the Clarion.
To northeastern fisherman, it is known, but it doesnt need outside pressure. We’d like to keep it around for those who care about it before its turned into the Lehigh or upper Delaware.
@@Cj-fw7up Don't get your waders in a twist. There is plenty of river to go around, it'll be alright.
Looking forward to this video. The headwaters of the Clarion are about 25 minutes from where I live. Anxious to see what section of the river you will be fishing since this river is about 110 miles long.
Nice! We need more episodes on Eastern and Great Lakes area streams in the USA.
Looking forward to fishing the Clarion. I think he should practice proper handling of fish. Dry hands aren't how you handle fish. Hemostats would be better.
I love the Clarion, and grew up in Erie. You will lose every-time fishing underneath those trout when they’re up like that. I’ve seen a lot of good anglers stumped by this. Fishing upper to mid column with soft hackles, cdc nymphs works a lot better. That’s a lesson that river taught me. Looks like it got you folks too. Pennsylvania rivers are not for the faint of heart, they will stump you time and time again. Greta river, that doesn’t get a lot of attention. Tough fishery at times. -tight lines. P.s. When they’re up like that especially with low surface activity during sulfer season, a cdc pheasant tail fished one to two feet below the surface will do justice!
Just happened upon your video and it was definitely a great video. Lived in ridgway my whole life. Definitely a beautiful place to grow up. But sadly to say the fishing on the clarion river isn't as good as some may say. As you can see in the video that's how the fishing is most of the time anymore. It's a beautiful river and I'm not opposed to anybody enjoying the Great Outdoors but in the past few years theres definitely been alot more use of the river and It like anything. Sadly Eventually lt take its toll. Well at least that's been my experience of it. anyways.
I'm really interested in any data or insight into how a video likes this positively benefits the river, fishery, or even the local economy. It feels like the host and channel is the only one benefitting through views and clicks. Also, this seems like a missed opportunity to highlight the history of the river and its significant improvements through environmental action. Instead, the host talked about learning to cast with your non-dominant hand... when he obviously has challenges casting with his dominant.
Bryan, sorry you were disappointed in this show. We had horrendous luck in terms of the weather and struggled to put something together. The year before we wanted to go but then there was a drought and water levels were exceptionally low, so we did not come. We do hope to come back and do more including info on the history of the river, the great work done by TU and volunteers for the brown trout fishery and more. Maybe even see the river at normal water levels, good hatches and more. However, despite the issues, we know this river and the surrounding area are incredible and we look forward to having another chance to fish it properly.
@@newflyfisher news to me on the TU front as the local TU President on much of that section I have not been contacted or put in the loop ever.
@@newflyfisher Nothing wrong with a realistic look at fly fishing. Who hasn't had a tough day on the water?
As a UA-cam creator in pa that creates fly fishing content, I can say you nailed the video! You did an incredible job showing the beauty of my home state from the small mountain streams to our larger river systems. PA is an amazing state for fly fishing for trout and has a rich history around fly fishing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
agreed! Pa seems to be a slept on state for fishing
Outstanding video! I'm a Elk County native and live about 20 miles from where they were fishing. We have big water and some super tributaries loaded with trout. Gotta check out the Clarion River Lodge sometime. I hear a lot of great comments about it. Nice job John (Straitiff)

Clarion River Lodge is worth seeing for sure and Vic and Marisa are top notch hosts. This facility will do well.
Never fished the Clarion, but it looks like some wonderful water🐟🐟🐟Take care👍🏻✌🏻
Glasses and a full brim "cowboy" style hat helps with not hooking the head as bad. Plus... they just look cool and keep the sun off you better.
I've been Flyfishing 56 years never hooked myself in the head! 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe it's your casting!!! 🤔
@@timbillings6884 it must be the casting thing. I'll work on that.
My old stomping grounds!! Fished the Clarion River way upstream in Elk County!!! Best place to grow up!!
That’s my backyard I’ve fished the same exact waters in the video my whole life and will be for the rest of my life
Where exactly is this location?
I am glad to have found this video.
In the 1990s, I was involved in the effort to have both the Clarion River and Mill Creek included in the Allegheny Wild and Scenic River legislation as Study Rivers, through a lobbying effort that saw the House version of the bill pass as an Amendment.
In 1990, I began researching the exceptional characteristics that were given consideration in deciding whether or not these portions of the river might qualify for inclusion in our nation's Wild and Scenic Rivers system.
On October 19, 1996, the United States Congress finally decided that a 51.7 mile segment of the Clarion River would be included.
My focus was mainly given to the last 9 mile section of the river that runs from just below Cooksburg, down to the slackwaters of the Piney Dam reservoir; it was recognized with a Scenic designation due to it being relatively undeveloped and inaccessible.
While the area has become a favorite vacation destination for padding the river, I see that anglers also have some awareness of the rivers opportunities for fishing as well.
It was nice to have watched the many overviews of the rivers entrenched meander flowing through the beautiful wooded valleys.
No place like home! Great video. My man Vic is a great guy. The Clarion River Lodge is absolutely beautiful and top notch. I recommend for anyone who's in the area visiting to check it out.
Stayed at the Clarion River Lodge many times in the 90s. It was true gem then. Looks like the new owners are doing a great job. Gonna have to plan another trip there. My son and I have kayak/camp/fished from Johnsonburg to the Cooksburg bridge many times. Wonderful section of river with lots of camping along the shores.
This looks like as really nice place! Very cool experience!
Loved it! I grew up about 30 miles from the Clarion River and fished some of its tributaries. Had to cross it every time we went to my grandparents' house.
So much for following the code of ethics of best practice. In the beginning, on the tributaries, you spent too much time fumbling around trying to hand land the first two trout, when you should have used the net you had on your back. On the third trout, you were jarring the mouth trying to get the hook out, when you should have pulled your hemostats out and clamped on the hook to remove it to minimize jarring the trout's mouth trying to get the embedded hook out with your fingers. Disappointing from The New Fly Fisher.
Grandfather lives a few miles from where you filmed this. Headed back up mid October for some browns. This was prob the best summer fishing there I’ve ever had.
just wish the dry fly fishing on the Clarion was better, it would be nice to see early and late season BWO.. or a sulphur and a brown or green drake hatch.... that being said its still a great river to fish
Great Video! I love my homewaters in PA.
All the fish are gone they moved to bull creek.....dont waist your time thx
Like the Joker said... Wait'll they get a whiff of me! Go fish below the paper plant! Whoooo.
Or the Crayola factory in easton!
This is great looking country I would love to wet my line here I have few boxes of dry flies just waiting perfect setting great content
Great video; especially the instruction on the streamer (mix up the retrieve if you are confident that fish are in the area)!
Very good episode. Ya'll should go to Michigan sometime in 2022!
Pretty sure that small stream was one I grew up fishing.
Look forward to seeing the new lodge! 👍💯
Best kept secret? Not any more!
One of my favorite streamers for trout and smallies is a Black Ghost with a white maribou wing, with about 4 strands of crystal flash on top of that wing. My other two are the Nine Three, and Royal Coachman. Oldies but goodies🐟🐟👍🏻✌🏻
So amazing! Been waiting for this one.
Great episode, Rob!
Great job Rob
Probably should’ve just left this one on the editing bench
Дед слишком сильно давит кумжу руками, травмирует её 100%.
Нахрена такое вообще представлять... 👎
Great video but you definitely chose the wrong river to highlight. This one should’ve stayed lips sealed
Why’s that
They didn’t even catch anything , why you worried lol
Good stuff!
Looks like a beautiful area!
someone give this guy a net
Come on down to the southeast
Awesome job Rob!!
Bom dia pessoal parabéns pela pescaria um abraço fique com Deus.
Hi, I grew up in Allison Park and started with a 9' split bamboo rod when I was 9 fishing on Pine Creek. A few years later the Wildwood Mine ruined the creek and everything died. Today I have heard that it is again a good trout stream. So, anyone out there: have you fished it and was it great again, let me know and thanks.
Game changer. Looks just like a big Zonker in the water, TWENTY times the work tying it.
I dident know tying was work!!!
Looks like a nice river!
I live right on the Hoosic river in North Adams MA!!!
Best Flyfishing around the north east!
Been out west 22 times fishing the big rivers!!!
Yellowstone!!!😊
Grew up fishing the Battenkill in VT when it was good fishing 56 years ago.
Never hooked myself ! 😂
If you are ever in south east PA, hit up the tulpehocken. nice keystone select creek. There are other creeks not too far that have wild trout. Will say the cover around our rivers and creeks can be something.
thanks for the info
