I have watched this a dozen times... Great stuff I agree with everything cj said. Used some of his tactics on local river and had even more streamer success. What a great resource
I listened to this podcast all the way through last week before I went out on the river and smashed into a 19 inch rainbow. Definitely used a few things I learned from this podcast! Keep it up man!
Started fly fishing about a month ago because I recently moved to a house on a stocked creek. I was listening to this podcast while fishing some new runs, and right as you guys were saying no water is too shallow, I tossed a nymph 8 feet out in front of me definitely not expecting anything to be there, and I pull out a 12” brown. Too hilarious. These little guys are tricky.
I actually started fishing with fly tackle and then started enjoying a spin rod, I can attest that using jerkbaits on the conventional gear has greatly improved my skill and confidence with streamers. Last time I went fishing this week I had zero luck with my nymphs and got two beautiful but small brown trout in the little creek I was fishing.
Was watching this while working today. I have a question when searching for waters holding large browns: Are hatchery supported streams a decent place to search? Or should I steer clear? I've always assumed hatchery supported waters to be too warm most of the year to support large fish year round, but some of the creeks Mr. Lord fishes look to be too large to *not* be hatchery supported or DH.
Great question. I would recommend checking them out. Especially if they touch a lot of higher elevation streams because big wild fish like to move into those regions in the colder months. There are lots of hatchery-supported streams we fish that hold good wild fish if you know how to find them.
At 51:00 about the big fem brown he missed, same thing happened to me a couple of days ago on what could have been the biggest of my life if not the second for sure. Super turbulent water, was wedged in front of a boulder, lunged straight up for my bait. I catch 20 to 25 inchers. This fish was in another class. 28+ with a massive hump back girth, kyped male. I bet from his belly to his back was 11 inches. Never saw him again after 100 more casts.
@@canadiangemstones7636 Hilarious. Hows the lockdown goin up there for ya? Shut down any more churches lately? I wonder how the outdoor tourism economy is doing up there.
@@snowyearound Depends on the river type. On some rivers people catch fish like that on nymphs, not often but it will happen. But usually you’re either moving them at night or on a streamer during the day when the stars align. Fish that big are usually nocturnal though.
I remember fly fishing before beads you either fish dry or a streamer. There was literally like two nymphs out at the time. In the 80s you fished streamers 90% of the time and dries for a small window. the original streamers had no body Mass to them. Today's trout streamers are like saltwater tarpon flies used to Chuck. . These fish are hitting for a meal they're pissed off. The best streamer fisherman know how to piss them off often Credit to CJ bunch of locals I know that will cast all day for one potential monster. Takes a lot of patience.
Clickbait on that picture. No fishing in this video. Not bad thoughts on streamers. If you are interested in streamer fishing read kelly galloupz book. On streamer fishing for trophy trout. There's even a sequel he wrote. This is pretty much just touching on kelly gallouops ideas on streamers. Still cool. Glad people are talking streamers. Also, mousing is fun and will catch trout in a lot of situations. Rainbows and lake trout will take the mouse too
I would like to know what he considers a fish to be "big". Where I'm from "big" is 27"+ and 9+lbs. I don't even bother with those under those dimensions.
Big in our region is over 20 inches for trout and small mouth bass. Not all geographies are the same and your expectations have to be adjusted accordingly. Being in a geography that generates large fish in densities is great for you but is not a reality for everyone in every geography. That though does not take away from the success of individuals that catch big for their region. In the end its about having the experience and adjusting your expectations based on where you are. One is not superior to the other in my eyes.
There was an issue with this episode when it first came out so I had to re-upload it. Apologies for the inconvenience. Hope y'all enjoy!
I love the sound of the frogs in the background

I am just beginning to use streamers, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Curious, where did you get the yeti cup with the trout on it?

Awesome podcast 👏
My best carp day ever I caught 8 on a shenks sculpin tied on a size 4 hook. If you can see a carp tailing and can cast near it, it will eat.

@@WildFlyPodcast Awesome! Thanks for the fast answer! I've got a list of a few creeks now to definitely try.
Enjoyed this!

I feel the only way to move a fish like that is with a streamer... And you only get one shot.
I lost a big one too! I figure it was 11 inches. Between the eyes.

Where did CJ get that trout yeti tumbler?
Any info on that yeti cup?
Where does one get that yeti cup
