Catching MONSTER Brown Trout out of Small Creeks!! (Fly Fishing)

  • Fly Fishing for Big Wild Brown Trout is one of my favorite things to do. There's something about those huge head shakes that make your heart and mind race.
    In this video I spent 2 weeks looking for a mega wild brown trout. Finally after hours on the water I was able to hook up with one of the biggest brown trout of my life. The fish hit and I initially thought I was stuck on the bottom of the creek, but after walking up to get un-snagged the fish took off and a crazy fight commenced. I was even able to catch 2 rainbow trout at once on the same day!
    I hope you guys enjoy this video! If you want more videos like this leave a comment below.

    I really enjoy your videos. I wish you would share your setup with us, such as line weight, tippet size, rod weight/length,, and the flies/nymphs you use. You mention people should be using the right gear for these big fish, so it would be helpful to know what you're using. Thanks!!

    man you are very inspiring. Every time when I don't feel like going out and fish/film or don't feel like editing, all I gotta do is watch your videos and it gives me an extra fuel. Would it be possible making a few more instructional videos? maybe shopping your set up, explaining the flies you are using for certain species, etc? thank you for what you do. Cheers!

    Greetings from Australia, great vids bro. I’ve only ever seen one very dedicated guy casually catch fish this size, he’s spent countless years chasing trout, he easily sees fish in a stream without Polaroids.. I really enjoy watching your vids, the respect you have for the sport, the magical scenery, makes me wonder why I’m not out there right now! Thank you for sharing.

    The reason you couldn't see her at first was that she was and is used to hiding well from large predators using the shadows and being able to blend in her surroundings. She could be laying beside the shore but if you can't see her you'll walk right by her and then she'll subtly dive where she know she can't be caught by the coon, bear, or eagle. She's been caught once before and her taking you to that rock where you thought you were stuck, she was waiting for you to get impatient and make a mistake where she could break free from a more inexperienced fisherman. Fish know just like other game when they're being hunted. Know your gear, know your waters, know your fish and respect for all. Very proud of you Jon and the Fisherman you've become. Enjoyed this video thoroughly. And always tight lines.

    Pretty crazy how good of a trout fishery WV is between the wild browns, rainbows, and native brookies.
