    What a great series. I recently took a 3 part series on Reading the Water. It was also great and I learned the basics. This video adds to that and really brings it all together. Best part, I am getting the same exact information. Look for seams, hydraulic pockets, pools, cover, etc. I did learn to follow the foam line. Great job. I love everything Orvis and Tom Rosenbauer. I primarily listen on the podcast, but I also love videos.

    OK, this is SPOT ON!!! I fished New Mexico's Red River, for the first time, last week. I came upon a beautiful pool and thought "OK, this looks like fishable water, considering Tom's advice!". I cast a black wooly bugger, from an upstream location, into a seam in approximately 4 feet of water, near shelter, and hooked a 16" Rainbow, within minutes!!! I fished that stretch of river for a few hours and caught my limit! For a Louisiana country boy, who grew up fishing the bayous and had NO IDEA how to fish for trout in cold rivers, I FINALLY feel like I know how to fish for trout! Thanks, Tom!!!

    I moved away from trout last year, I mostly catch walleyes now. They don't really seem to go for nymphs so I cast streamers mostly. I've caught a few goldeyes on a dry flies&nymphs though. The nearby river is freaking massive though, took me a while to find structure, but I found a spot that have a ton of big rocks in the water. I think I hooked a big pike/sturgeon a couple times but I really don't have the setup to catch a 60 pound fish so it broke my line.

  • @manifestgtr
    @manifestgtr 2 роки тому

    Here’s the biggest thing to consider and it’ll help almost every time. What is nature all about? What are trout all about? Consuming the most energy for the least amount of work in the safest way possible. What does this tell you? It means that trout are going to tend toward safe areas where the foam line, etc. will bring them food. Undercuts, areas behind rocks, little eddies in the middle of the river, places where cover is close by. Sometimes fish will do things for fish reasons that we just don’t understand in the moment. They’ll be in funny spots or just not feeding…but if you start with a basic understanding of what’s important to trout, you’ll be in 14665778x better shape than if you’re just shooting into the dark.

    I enjoy your video and would enjoy fishing with you. There are always exceptions. I met my friend at St. Regis MT on the Clark Fork and we went down to the river to eat our burgers and study the action. This is a big river and as we watched we saw big rainbows rising. Very clear water and probably almost 20 feet deep in spots. There was a hatch of uprights, chocolate brown with split 2 inch tails. #12 3x. I had recently acquired some moose mane that look perfect for the match. We went back to the picnic area the I tied a half dozen with the moose mane for tails and body and adams type hackle. Back to the river and waded out in 2 feet of water on a rock the size of a box car. My buddy found a similar rock upstream and I saw he already had a fish on. I saw this shadow arising to my fly and I go so exited I struck too soon. I then caught my biggest rainbow, 24 inches on a two pound (orvis tippit) leader. Perfect spot for playing a fish we ended our business lunch with two fish apiece over 20 inches. Were we to fish together I would introduce you to my gunny sack creel that allows you to lead a big fish up against your burlap covered leg and roll it into the sack full of fresh leaves while you extract your fly. Again, thanks for sharing. Ps there is often a couple of cold Coors in the sack as well.

I bought my first rod, a 7 weight rod and went for a fishing trip, got sunburn on my hands and caught a tiny little brown trout about 5 inches long and felt like a kid again. After I get my AMC entertainment holdings inc payout from the short squeeze that is about to happen, I'm buying a 5 weight rod and I'll be using that I think for the majority of my trout fishing. I like to target 5lb trout because they are good eaters. Thank you for all these videos!
