Fly Fishing a Creek with Tons of Trout!! (NEW PB)

  • In this video my buddy catches a HUGE 25 inch wild brown trout!
    I don’t like warm winter weather. That may sound weird to say but from a fishing perspective it can be frustrating. It’s been a warm winter with temps hovering in the 50’s on most days. It’s almost like I’ve been robbed of an entire season. You’d think that would mean I’m catching fish like crazy, but that hasn’t been the case. For the last 3 weeks I’ve been jumping from creek to creek, river to river, and even state to state just to find some consistent fishing. And I’m not going to lie, I’ve struggled.
    But finally I have something worth showing off! My buddy and I had a slow day but we caught 2 big brown trout, and then went out the following day and racked up some numbers. Although this isn't how I typically like to put videos together I still felt like those wild brown trout were worth showing off! This is winter fly fishing at it's finest.
    Hope everyone enjoys the video!!
