Tui Chub Champion! They're thick! Dandy brown that first day! Even the dog on shore thought so! I used to read Foeld and Stream articles about the monster browns at Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Utah. They big boys are mostly nocturnal feeders, with a very short window at pre-dawn and the last vestiges of dusk. They'd troll fast, using 8 or 9 inch jointed Rapalas at night for the trophies. Bucktail spoons took some. OMG! When you hooked those trout the action on your rod looked so awesome! I have a 7 ft ultralight rod but it isn't that nice. It's a Fenwick I got on sale, but it's not bad at all. So it's getting hard to find cork, huh? It had no effect on you with that rod, fishing-wise. Just getting use to it is the thing, I'd guess. Nice starting point with the Panther Martin! Best color, too. And rewarded with a first cast trout! Ever fish Paulina? Just curious. Nice set up with the small trailer and truck. Great video, really enjoyed it! Thanks, Barry!
Thanks William! And thanks for the tips. I had a rapala tied on which I fished a bit, not one bite. Those shallow browns wouldn’t touch any of my metal lures so I grabbed that trout trap and a few casts later, bam! I really like the rod, I’ve never had over the 6’6” rod for trout, but i absolutely love the 7’6”!!! Lastly, thats why a guy with 2 aluminum boats is fishing out of a pontoon 😁, I had to tow the trailer over there. Our little Nash 17K is the perfect size for Janina and I. Fairly light, but a 4 season trailer, easy to tow and backup.
Chubzilla! Those were bigguns! That was a nice brown. At first light I love making a cup of coffee and walk down from camp to the waters edge and watch those browns cruising in 4-6 inches of water. I’ve never seen that anywhere else. Most are in the 14”-20” range. Super cool!
I couldn’t believe the size of the one I spooked out of the shallows. I quickly redirected my location to the bank line. It seemed that’s what everyone else was doing too. I was fishing too deep at first trying to do my own thing, but the big ones were being caught near the bank.
@@jessejames1395 Awesome! I fished Fall River the morning before going to East Lake on Day 2. Such a beautiful river. (I didn’t even take a camera. 😉) and thank you, glad you like the videos.
@@lheftw1376 my grandpa taught me to fly fish when I was a kid, I still enjoy it, but I lean on ‘gear’ fishing the majority of the time, especially for my UA-cam channel. When I fly fish, I leave the cameras at home and just enjoy the experience. 🎣
Like I said in the video, these were the first Tui Chubs I’ve caught, at least in East Lake. Had I known for sure, I would have dispatched them. Maybe I would have taken them back to camp for dinner, 🤢

I definitely want to check this lake out. It looks much better than twin lakes.
Hey Josh! Yeah, It’s got a bunch of different fish in it, a couple campgrounds and Paulina Lake is a short distance away.
I just missed running into you at was at LaPine state park June 20th through the 27th, fished Fall River and did pretty well. Love the videos

@@RAGEFISHINGso you fly fish too? Which do enjoy more? Why?

Brown on a trout trap 😮. I’ll remember that one.
Yess thank goodness is right no more fires
Thanks for handling the fish well and fishing single barbless, not barbed treble.
I do my best, especially when I plan to catch and release. Thanks for the feedback. 🎣
Have you ever tried those Tasmanian devils for brown up there they work really good
@@brandonwalton5068 I have not, I’ll look into them, thanks for the tip!
I bought some from that little store up there they were expensive but they worked great
I heard there’s a fire up near there
There appeared to be one at Paulina Lake, but I think it’s out. Paulina Lake Lodge posted clear skies today, thank goodness.
If you are catching invasive fish, don't return back alive.
