I love watching you catch giant fish, but I loved watching you have fun catching normal fish like the rest of us. Your beautiful cinematography should get anyone excited to go throw some dries on mountain creeks.
Hello Dave and Amelia. Always enjoy your small creek cutthroat videos and this was another great one!! Epic scenery and weather!! Enjoyed it! and always learning!! Thanks for sharing!!
My wife and I usually fish that kind of water with a 7’6” three weight rod and a five weight line. Don’t need to cast far but it’s nice to load the rod early for those short casts. Plus the three weight rod doesn’t launch those little fish into outer space incase you set a little hard. Such fun summer fishing! Great video guys!
They are wonderful little creeks. A 0 wt would launch a 10" trout on 3x so there's no real rule to the trout orbiting club :) But the big reason we used a 4wt is our rule in what we share: we don't want to exclude people from thinking they can't fish these creeks with a 4, 5 or 6 weight, that you have to go out and buy another rod and spend lots of $$$ when the idea is to just go out and have fun with the rod you have! :)
Great Video! Always love watching you guys. Small stream fishing is usually my style. Beatles last weekend was a hit for me! got me some nice size cuties. I have to thank you guys for all your advise and tips, it’s helped me a lot through my fly fishing journey :). I live in Alberta, maybe someday I’ll run into both of you on the water :)Tight Lines to both of you 🇨🇦🤙🏾
Aren't these the great places in life :) Streams and creeks and just poking a beetle into those slots and lies is just plain fun when working those cutts. Browns too, though slightly done differently. :) If you see us be sure to say hi :) Hope the back 1/2 of your season is good to you
Those little cutthroat streams up in the Crowsnest and Castle watersheds are so much fun from August until October! Only danger is that after a great day on one of them, I'm at risk of thinking I've actually got this whole "catching trout" thing pretty well figured out...
Our flows got cut to a trickle for a lot of June, and only just got bumped to an ideal level last week in the south Platte and I have spent the last few weeks/months on the headwater creeks and alpine lakes. I’ve learned a bunch!
haha! I made a comment before I watched Amelia react the same way I mentioned in the comment! She didn't want to mess with the little one! Those fish seem to be in every pocket! No wonder you guys are laughing so much.
You get it! They were everywhere and it just didn't seem fair to set the hook into every one. It was a bit of a "dinks are us" fest!!🤣 But lots of fun and what a gorgeous spot.
How fun! I just fished the upper section of Soda Butte creek in Yellowstone. It was very similar fishing. I had a blast doing just what you’re doing! 😍
I think I remember seeing photos of you there. I actually recognized the area from a filming gig we did for Hubbard's Lodge a few years back where we did a little fishing on that one. Pretty stream. Glad you had fun!
:) Wow. Neat to hear from you! That one I had to just look up on Google Maps as well as watch a quick UA-cam video or two of the brown trout fishing there. Neat looking high country :)
Soooo... my guess is British Columbia. Nice little stream. Video is just like a good day on a Shenandoah National Park Mountain Stream. ... except you catch brook trout ... sizes very similar ... rock is different ... water flow and appearance is almost identical! Yes, we still see days when you pull your fly away from the 4 and 5 inch fish so you don't waste time unhooking them. HOWEVER! I want to catch those cutthroats! What beautiful fish! And cooperative! Thank you for sharing!
That's like 0 - 3wt territory. I only fish streams like those, but that's all we have access to. So a 3wt is considered on the "heavy" side, only used if wind blows, else it's 1 or 2wt's
Yessir it is. We shared using a 4wt because of our rule in sharing content: we never want people to feel excluded from opportunity and by using a 4 wt we simply are sharing that if people have a 4, 5 or 6wt they can fish here and just have fun. The central idea to all our videos is to get people out, to use the rod they have and just enjoy time on the water without the need to "have to" buy more gear :)
A net could actually cause far more damage to small fish - from their incessant flipping and tangling in the net causing longer periods out of the water and rubbing/ abrasion issues. There's zero chance any of these fish were hurt or damaged. Sorry.
@@jensenflyfishing I’m sorry but this sounds silly to me. I use a net to keep them in the water and give them a breath periodically. For me the jumpy ones are big fish. The only part I agree with is the skin gets a bit roughed up if they are jumping so over. I’m sure from what you said you treat the fish well. That’s all I ask for.
@@quantummandavid all good. You might look into the net discussion a wee but more with small, wiggly fish and time how long a fish is being handled/out if the water etc with a net vs without. You might be surprised at what size a net is beneficial vs not, all considered. All the best!

Thanks for watching and your appreciation of this one.😊 There's nothing like the beauty of the surroundings at a creek like that.

Hi Brian, You really can't beat the stunning surroundings on these cuttie waters eh?. Thanks again for your amazing support of what we share.
What a great video. A timely reminder to join and support your channel. Keep up the great work guys. All the best from Scotland. 😊
Glad you enjoyed this one:) We saw you signed up to become a member. Thank you. It means a lot to us to have that kind of support.

Good to get out there and have fun, you guys remind me of me and my wife. We spot for each other and we have a ball down in North Island NZ
We'll be there soon! :) After 13 straight years in NZ it will be great to finally be back home :) Can hardly wait!

It can go that way in a hurry! 🤣

Sometimes when you're pushed to explore elsewhere, neat things can happen and you do end up learning a lot:)
❤️❤️❤️ hearts before watching ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Joel:) That's always a good sign.😍
Strange to see you down to earth and fishing small size fish. Nice stream and video¡¡
Love these ones. We just don't take as much time to enjoy & share them as we used to. But they mean a lot to us still :)

Great Video, thanks for sharing. Very educational content.
Lots of little things embedded into this one :)
heaving hooked fish above surface on line is a no-go
sometimes it happens and you can't much do anything about it. Hope you get that
One good thing about fire bans is there is way less people out in the bush
there is that! :)
this video makes you want to start fly fishing for sure ! beautiful !
most fun you can have standing knee deep in mountain water :)
What glasses do you guys use? They seem good for low light transmission.
They are that - Smith Lowlight Ignitors :)
❤ beautiful ❤
gorgeous little creek there :)
Imo 7'6'' #3/4 weight is the perfect rod for those scenarios
Whatever works well for you is what you need to use.
❤
:)
Is that a WF style line you're using?
No it's an Orvis Trout DT. WF is fine if that's what you have :)
I actually prefer DT but it's increasingly harder to find in the shops these days
@@mikejessmax a dying breed for sure. Orvis Trout in DT, I think SA still makes one and Cortland too
Black Beetle Juice
easy peasy :)
Kyrgyzstan is watching. Do you know where is it 😀?
:) Wow. Neat to hear from you! That one I had to just look up on Google Maps as well as watch a quick UA-cam video or two of the brown trout fishing there. Neat looking high country :)
@@jensenflyfishing yes, we have a mountainous country. And i often fish in the mountains for river trout. I am sorry, my English is very bad 😀.
@@grijgran your English is fine.
You probably speak more languages than the average English speaking person.

Think that one is still flyin.
rocket to the moon, that!
That a new bag? hehe
Yes it is. Available after the New Year.

Where is this?
Alberta, CA
What weight rod is that?
4 wt almost guaranteed.
definitely a 4 :)
Please treat fish with respect. We will lose this if people like you keep hurting them use a net. Yes I know you have a barbless hook.
A net could actually cause far more damage to small fish - from their incessant flipping and tangling in the net causing longer periods out of the water and rubbing/ abrasion issues. There's zero chance any of these fish were hurt or damaged. Sorry.
