Night fishing is tough for the first night. Once you go mousing you will understand the level of fish activity that happens after the sun goes down. The biggest fish are most active after the sun goes down and when you hook one on a mouse it sounds like a big toilet flushing. Nice video. I especially like the comment about drifting by a lodge catching big fish while the dry fly guys are sound asleep. Let the purists rest up while you are hooked up!
Ya I tried mousing and all I could do is get them to bump it. Might have been bringing it in too fast. Switched to streamers and killed it. Might try it again watching this video. Love night fishing!! The big ones are out and other fishers are sleeping 😂
Every big brown (25"+) have personally caught or have seen caught have been at night sans a 26" Brown caught around noon my my eldest brother on Utah's East Canyon creek in the Summer of '84. He caught his limit before 7 AM and always had his alloted two 20+" fish per regulation. The grandest brown I ever saw taken was on the Beaverhead in Western, MT in 1977 by a fellow who said he was a fireman; he helped rescue my brother who walked down the Clark Canyon Dam spillway after it rained needed rescue. The sun had dissapeared and he was fishing mid-river and was soon surrounded by everyone with a monster brown that came up to my seven year old armpits.
Have you done a show going in the opposite direction? Fishing mountain streams that you can piss across for brook trout that spook to the shadow of your flyline?
I fish little pine creek in pa. where I fish is exactly 50 feet wide,I put a knot in my fly line at 49.5 feet,use a mouse to catch monster at night. the knot will stop by slight finger pressure at exactly the same place every time
Still awesome after 8 years! I always use these old Hook Shots episodes to get me primed for fishing season. Definitely my favorite series of all time. Cermele is still killing it too.
I love Hook Shots, great show! How much do think the lunar cycle affects night time fishing? Do you happen to know the cycle the nights you shot this episode?
Missing strikes? Dude when mousing set when you feel the weight! Half the time these browns are porposing and drowning the mouse. Dead drift if you don't feel weight after the boil and wait for the take after submerged.
Would honestly like to know: why do people who make fishing videos, regardless of species or location, insist on including either bluegrass or heavy metal (or similar) music? Have we had enough yet?
Dave Wheelock I so agree with you! I've seen so many fishing channel vids on UA-cam that are ruined by this frigging head banger music. They think it makes their clip more exciting and cool with that added. They couldn't be more wrong, considering that more older folks, like me, are watching!
so ive been getting into fly fishing and i know the rod i need/want (fenwick) and im wondering what reels to look for any help would be much appreciated
honestly i kinda need help with everything ive been using an old cabela's reel that was handed down to me and an old rod too but im not very good at casting and i dont really know how to improve
First off, there is nothing wrong with old gear :). However, if you're looking for new stuff, I would ask your local fly shop for any gently used rods and reels. As for brands, Lamson makes awesome reels that are relatively inexpensive. Redington and even Cabela's makes good stuff as well. Definitely don't buy anything online without testing it first though. Second, if you're looking for casting tips, UA-cam is a wonderful place to start and practice makes perfect. Go into your backyard and put a piece of yarn on a leader and go through the motions. A bit of practice everyday really does go a long way and helps keep the knots out when you're actually fishing. Anyways, definitely talk with your local fly shop. I've found fellow fly guys are some of the nicest people around and are always willing to help new guys. Cheers :)
If I could go back I would re-prioritize what I invested more in. The order would be 1. fly lines 2. rod 3. reel 4. Buying lots of flies. The temptation is reels. They get a lot of attention. Then flies.....(or maybe that was just me) I have been fly fishing awhile now and just upgraded my fly lines and wow! Casting is so much better!
you're probably lucky to fish a river that's exceptional. A 29" brown is literally the fish of a lifetime in most locations. Also , if you're using spin gear you have a slight advantage in some ways. Either way, you should be grateful you caught a 29" brown. With any gear in any location that's impressive.
Primarily I fish on the fly, and most my trout 25"+ have been caught on fly rod. The creeks I fish are nothing spectacular, just some small spring fed systems snaking around the panhandle of Nebraska.
I've caught big browns on small creeks as well, but those creeks feed into very large rivers like the St. Croix and Mississippi. Browns will winter over in rivers traditionally too warm for them and then move back into the creeks in the summer. Not sure where exactly your at, but you might have a similar situation.
do you not understand the definition of the word wild? .Native and wild obviously mean two different things. A Wild brown trout is a brown that was born in wild..... Many trout in North america haven't been stocked in over a century. They are breeding on there own in the WILD. Thus they are WILD fish and no brown are not native to north america Heres the definition of WILD ; 1 (of an animal or plant) living or growing in the natural environment; not domesticated or cultivated. 2 (of a place or region) uninhabited, uncultivated, or inhospitable.

Never had a issue catching brown trout with a headlamp on it actually attracts them. at least in colorado.

Great comedy in the vein of The "Stooges"! These boys are only beginning to learn this type of technique.
Ahhh, yes we do ! I've been "mousing" there since 71, caught some of my biggest browns out of the upper. Just saying.
Nice Fish! Mouse imitations are also deadly for big largemouth after dark, trust me.
Did I happen to spy Joe wearing a Fly Fishing the Ozarks T-shirt?!
Great video and love the mouse tip at the end!
Siiiiick was joe a guide who took you out that late! That’s a dedicated boss of a guide. There’s a lot of meteors...wow

Maybe the brown trout are planters.
I love mouse lures man that is bad as a good job!!
I fish little pine creek in pa. where I fish is exactly 50 feet wide,I put a knot in my fly line at 49.5 feet,use a mouse to catch monster at night. the knot will stop by slight finger pressure at exactly the same place every time
great idea
".....and Bass be hittin' like ............SNAP!!" be like I gotta try this!
Great vid guys!
Nice, like your style!
Joe we fish at night for them here on penns creek with mouse flies and swing the big meat for them
I do this very often, but I wade in the stream and I can't find anyone to do it with me.
Same here
This is a great video! Deserves way more than the 4,000 hits it currently has.
this aged well... it has 162,000

Wow I’d give anything to fish with this group haha
Coolest video I’ve seen
Sweet going to try this.
I love Hook Shots, great show! How much do think the lunar cycle affects night time fishing? Do you happen to know the cycle the nights you shot this episode?
The video was posted a day after a full moon. However judging from the video, it was either very cloudy, or shot during a new moon
I definitely need to try mousing on my home river the Cohocton
That was Awesome!
Missing strikes? Dude when mousing set when you feel the weight! Half the time these browns are porposing and drowning the mouse. Dead drift if you don't feel weight after the boil and wait for the take after submerged.
Good advice.
Were in your home pool bruh mousing it.
Fuck ya some glass jaw in a fishing video that’s a first
We don't need a weed guard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where does one find these "Lovely Ritas" band?
No one goes there just to mouse??? Gotta try talking to the lone guys who avoid the others and don't talk to many either.
Nice wee video👍🏻
Nice video
Hook shots challenge brown trout on frog
Was that as blood runs black?
Matt Keating yes
Its not the night....its proximity to the ramp....thats where the fish are!
this vid is a good example of why fishing shows are dying and fishing youtubers are thriving.... half way thru the ep and nothing has happened lmao
Epic

I fly fish to get away from head bangers.
I'm a local to that river system what month or water temp where guys gishing
What is a good rod wt for mousing?
Try red color lights
What wt rod are you guys using
Would honestly like to know: why do people who make fishing videos, regardless of species or location, insist on including either bluegrass or heavy metal (or similar) music? Have we had enough yet?

What kind of music would you recommend?
Joe Cermele Use some Reggaeton bro. What time of year was this?
Good question. It sure sucks on this one.
Big fish
cmon play some dammmmm blues
JOE LOOKS LIKE CLOONEY
so ive been getting into fly fishing and i know the rod i need/want (fenwick) and im wondering what reels to look for any help would be much appreciated
MRKnifeTotingFreak If you still have questions, I'd be happy to help. I always love getting someone new into the sport.
honestly i kinda need help with everything ive been using an old cabela's reel that was handed down to me and an old rod too but im not very good at casting and i dont really know how to improve

Good Lord! Turn down (attenuate your gain) for that intro fanfare. I live in an apartment.
Plus its shitty music.
How is it the guide's biggest trout on a major river system was only 27"? I've caught 29" browns from a creek less than 3 feet wide..

is it true that the hardest part about fly fishing is telling your parents you are gay
With all of the hours you guys put in you sure didn't catch much.
not wild browns. browns are native to Eurasia.

Was going to watch but the music turned me off in 15 seconds.
@Email Account metal sucks forever. Sounds like chainsaws. Gaga sucks too.
Damn! So thats what Seth Rogen does when he's not acting!
