Sorry for the lack of content the past month. The Conditions have been poor and my fly fishing skills still need some work, so I haven’t had many video worthy days recently. Content will be more consistent in March when the temps start to rise again. Thank you all for watching!
Great video and looks like fun. I need to do more of this. If I may, a roll cast is your friend. You won't break your arm casting. If space permits, try a double haul. Its more difficult with a weighted nymph but worthwhile. Thanks for the video!! Tight Lines
Great video, I love relaxing fishing videos like this. I’m from PA, could you disclose the approximate area you were in by chance? I’m in southeast PA and I can have a hard time finding spots near me and usually have to drive a minimum of 1.5 hours to get to somewhere worthwhile, if you don’t want to disclose it’s all good I understand.
I prefer foggy, misty, spooky places here in PA...especially if it keeps the city dwellers away.......spooky is a state of mind. To me the cities are creepy not the woods. Good stuff man!
Although beautiful, with that fog, it wasn’t creepy, it was darn right scary! Good for you getting out this time of year. And you’re not a bad fisherman at all. Thanks for taking me along.
Nice video and nice scenery Thanks Old time backwoods New Englander fisherman here and some advice when traveling thru woods with a fishing pole is hold the pole backwards and low so you don’t get the rod caught in tree branches.
Pull a bunch of your fly line out of the reel and stretch it to straighten int out before you start fishing. It will be much easier to manage the slack that way.
Nice job on the video and in a beautiful location. I enjoy fishing streams like that, in solitude. Can’t normally find that here in Berks County. You’ll enjoy the Orvis Clearwater setup. I have two.
Beautiful scenery and great fishing. For those natives, try pinching the barb down with forceps. Keep the fish in the net and simply remove the hook with the forceps without touching the fish. Thanks for the nice video.
I've walked 4 miles down a gated forest service road in the Northern part of Clearfield Co. Pennsylvania, just to fish a Class A wild trout stream. Barbless hooks for catch and release is how I roll. There is nothing and nobody around, and no cell service. The Mountain Laurel is very thick, and there are boulders that sometimes have rattlesnakes sunning themselves. There are also black bears and occasionally big bull elk which are normally not dangerous, but the potential is there. It can get spooky even in the late spring or early summer. I make sure I'm outta there well before dark. I always have a pistol, a water bottle, and a first aid kit. In my opinion, bug spray is not optional! There are lots of beautiful little trout that make it all worthwhile.
Hey I’m in Lackawanna 🔥 I subscribed bro ! We are always out in Allegheny national forest . You deserve so many more subscribers . This is excellent quality . My long format sucks . This is Great 🔥
Love to see people getting out on the remote small waters catching native fish! Keep your rod tip up higher when you hook up. I was taught how to fly fish by a guide with 40 years of experience, he told me this. Your arm should look like the statue of liberty holding the torch, that rod should be pretty damn near vertical when you are fighting a fish. You won't lose nearly as many fish with this technique. Also, learn to false cast less, pull out how much line you need plus a little more before you even begin casting, and only let your line hit the water when you are ready to fish it, if you miss your target spot, fish that cast, don't pull it out and cast again.
Great video - really appreciate you sharing a beautiful stream with wild brookies with us. I know when you go through the trouble of producing a vid you then have to deal with lots of advice…but I’ll throw in some more. From someone who fly fishes a lot: invest in a better fly line or put some treatment on yours, it shouldn’t kink up that much; go barbless, especially on those little wild fish, they get torn up from big ‘ol barbs; keep netted fish in the water for as long as possible, only a few seconds out of the water at a time. You’re doing really well for just starting!
Beautiful area. Looks like you’re casting with wrist most of the time. Try using your elbow instead and your casting will improve. Agree with others about not trying to get these small fish on the reel. Great job! Keep it up.
Yeah you definitely have to get far off the beaten path, those are 3 dead counties. Been fishing Huntington my whole life, even the pa interactive map shows limited class A water and natural reproduction.
As someone who has quite a bit of experience with a fly rod, I'd give you the advice of trying to play fish more without putting them on the reel. Unless you're hooked into something that'll require the drag system, it's easier to pin the line to the grip with your rod hand and maintain tension with your line hand.
Don’t be afraid to use small streamers for winter brookies!! Small water wild trout can’t afford to be picky with food, so I find they work great on wilderness streams on the western half of the state. Best of luck man!!
I used to do a lot up north of the state of pa where we're you again stream looks big compared to what I'm used to fishing the beginning of you video I couldn't hear where you we re fishing great footage love the area your in!
I was up in Sullivan county I don’t like to give the names because it upsets people, I’ve learned my lesson on previous videos lol thank you for watching!
Just a suggestion. Try stretching your flyline when you set up your rig. You will eliminate some of the memory in it, causing the loops around the reel. Great video
great video. sure is nice to be in a remote area with no flatlanders. work on your presentation, small streams you need to fish each cast and not keep false casting so much, the less waterswirls the better. no need to use your reel either just strip it in and keep the rodtip high. word of advice get yourself some better flyline that doesn't curl. and a color not as bright. keep working on it, your doing better and better each outing. thanx for the video.
Beautiful footage. Why bother putting lil brookies on the reel? Just strip lone and pull em in. Watched you lose a few when trying to reel in your slack.
You need to stop making getting line back on the reel so important, it isn't!. Concentrate on stripping the line back in to land your fish, leaving the slack off the reel. Also, try to keep your false casts off the water, you'll spook less trout.
Nice video. But you uploaded this one from winter 2019? So almost 6 years old..... I think you better let this babies alone in their hard winter survival.
How can that beautiful forest be scary?seriously.also there are no indigenous native trout at all in pennsylvania.closest specie you can find indigenous is a cut throat which is a fine fish native and indigenous to the state of pa.actuall a salmonoid as far as specie.if ya didn't know any better you would definitely think it's a trout.now there is water in pa that may allow trout spawn like the upper deleware river between ny and pa not indigenous however maybe best trout fishing on the east coast.

Love streams like this. Low hanging fruit.
I can’t believe you walked right past that creature and didn’t see it.
Beautiful stream! Nice video!
Thanks man!
Thanks for the video. Missed you buddy!
It’s not like you reminded me every week lol
Lol just lol simple people think its spooky that is bs but a great place to fish or hunt so well done get those brooks so much fun to try to catch

Thank you man, my videos still need. But more work imo but i appreciate it alot!
@ no doubt 🔥 I’m glad to find Pennsylvanians ! Uahahaha
Sweet place to fish.
Nice video. Interesting to watch your transition from spin fishing to fly fishing. Many fishermen have followed that path.
I feel like you can only go so far with spin fishing while fly fishing has much more depth to it. Thank you for watching!

Pull out the line you need and stretch it between your hands. Gets out the coils@@ACupofJoe0303
Imagine being out on a flintlock hunt and watching someone talking to themselves and fishing.
I talk to myself all the time while I am fishing. Sometimes to the fish but usually myself.
@ in flintlock season we are silent

Thank you man and I just purchased an orvis rod set up. 9ft 5wt Clearwater
The fog was crazy this week! Nice content man, from the catskills here👍🏼
Thanks man!
That place is awesome.
Beautiful area. Looks like you’re casting with wrist most of the time. Try using your elbow instead and your casting will improve. Agree with others about not trying to get these small fish on the reel. Great job! Keep it up.
Thank you much appreciated
Same...fishing the deep woods in counties like fulton, franklin and huntingdon in PA are great native experiences
Yeah you definitely have to get far off the beaten path, those are 3 dead counties. Been fishing Huntington my whole life, even the pa interactive map shows limited class A water and natural reproduction.
Happy New Year! Like the channel and content. From southeast PA
Thank you and happy new year as well!
Just met this guy he’s very hospitable good guy will be subscribing to see further content 👍💯

New sub greetings from venango county! Nice catching!!!!

Thanks for the tips!
Warrior out there in December.Im in Southeast Pa and I’m always looking for new spots to try.Great video.
Thank you!
It looks cold but it's a very nice place!
I used to do a lot up north of the state of pa where we're you again stream looks big compared to what I'm used to fishing the beginning of you video I couldn't hear where you we re fishing great footage love the area your in!
I was up in Sullivan county I don’t like to give the names because it upsets people, I’ve learned my lesson on previous videos lol thank you for watching!
@@ACupofJoe0303 You're right about not naming streams. No future in that. lol
#658 glad I found you !!
Wow! Such a creepy forest
👊 i thought i was alone out doing these remote creepy pa. Back woods trips. Head on a swivel alone in the Pa mountains is no joke. Stsy safe, new sub.
Thanks, much appreciated. Stay safe out there too man.
carry everywhere
Nice adventure
Congratulations CUP OF JOE on 500 subscribers 🎉
he’s gonna get famous and forget about us
I am us, silly
I think using a strip-set and then immediately stripping in line a few more times will greatly improve your conversion rate
Just a suggestion. Try stretching your flyline when you set up your rig. You will eliminate some of the memory in it, causing the loops around the reel. Great video
Thanks for the tip!
The woods are safe then the city. I grew up with no phone in the woods. The only thing dangerous in the woods is your mind especially in PA
What part of Sullivan County were you fishing?
Use barbless on those fragile brooks - nice stream and fish !
With your line coiling like that it’s cheap line if you get a higher quality line with less memory and coiling ability you will get better hook ups
I just got a whole new set up ordered. So next video I should be out with it.
No cell service my kinda place to be
great video. sure is nice to be in a remote area with no flatlanders. work on your presentation, small streams you need to fish each cast and not keep false casting so much, the less waterswirls the better. no need to use your reel either just strip it in and keep the rodtip high. word of advice get yourself some better flyline that doesn't curl. and a color not as bright. keep working on it, your doing better and better each outing. thanx for the video.
Appreciate it man
Sasquatch wouldn't let you near the river in the deep woods 😂😂
How long have you fly fished?
Maybe 2 months😂
fishing with a fly rod and a 9mm especially in Pa. 😀
I’m just here for the Sasquatch structures “X”
Oh no not a haunted forest😮
Beautiful footage. Why bother putting lil brookies on the reel? Just strip lone and pull em in. Watched you lose a few when trying to reel in your slack.
I’m trying to break away from spin casting so sometimes old habits kick in lol
I appreciate seeing you lose a couple fish. Makes me remember that other people do it too!!!
Am I the only one who is bothered by his line being twisted around his rod? Or is this some fly fishing secret? Still a nice spot to fish.
You need to stop making getting line back on the reel so important, it isn't!. Concentrate on stripping the line back in to land your fish, leaving the slack off the reel.
Also, try to keep your false casts off the water, you'll spook less trout.
What state are you fishing in
Pennsylvania
@ it’s looks beautiful but cold being I’m in South Carolina
Bigfoot beware, if you feel like your being watched
Get out
Nice video.
But you uploaded this one from winter 2019? So almost 6 years old.....
I think you better let this babies alone in their hard winter survival.
Rock Run?
Bro be careful. A lot of that land on each side of the creek is private. Guts get arrested where you are all the time.
I was up in the state game lands
You do need practice. You lose a lot of fish just like I do.
How can that beautiful forest be scary?seriously.also there are no indigenous native trout at all in pennsylvania.closest specie you can find indigenous is a cut throat which is a fine fish native and indigenous to the state of pa.actuall a salmonoid as far as specie.if ya didn't know any better you would definitely think it's a trout.now there is water in pa that may allow trout spawn like the upper deleware river between ny and pa not indigenous however maybe best trout fishing on the east coast.
That’s 2 wt water….
Dude, with fish that size, you don't need to get them on the reel. Just strip it in. You'll lose less fish.
Gotcha man
You need to stretch your flyline before fishing it will deff make your casting improve
Nothing better then brookies 😉
You got that right and I know lol I gotta keep practicing
Quit worrying about the slack, they're tiny fish. And theyre in a tiny creek.
You really need to practice casting before trying to film
Your line looks crusty. Is why you're set is jank.
Fish barbless for natives
My purple prince was barbless but my other prince wasn’t. I thought it was
