Great video! One of the aspects I love about fly fishing is how I’ll walk into a river thinking I’ll play checkers, and it turns into a chess match. The trout and the stream make the rules 🤗
As a newbie the learning has been surprisingly enjoyable. Something about slowing down and trying to figure out how to catch fish when you know they should be there has been teaching me a lot. Used to just throw traditional tackle fast and cover water, catching only the dumb ones. Crazy how I can spend a whole afternoon in 100 yards of water now and enjoy it. I guess slowing down comes with age.
hooked in to a very sizable Rainbow trout on an iso dry on Tuesday during a massive bwo hatch. The fish were just gorging for hours, very cool to see fish finning but also frustrating I couldn’t focus on one fish lol
That tune in the intro and the car ride is NICE…. Crunchy tele with a tone of reverb…. Nothing wrong with that. Suits the foggy fall transition. And the fishing content is great as always too brother.
I have a significant amount of respect for you and your intricate mind. A 3D cad designer / cnc machinist coming into contact with such a beautiful and intricate tight lining technique really soothes the overthinking mind. You sir, are fantastic. Always coming back for more of your point of view and thought process. 🎣
Great video! I have a Highlander and am looking for a rod holder similar to what you use in your vehicle. Is it a DYI or is it something commercially available? I’m hoping to find a DYI that doesn’t cost a couple hundred dollars. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thank you. It's the Smith Creek Rod Rack. It's awesome. Been using if for many years. Much better system than a rooftop rod vault, for me. Full video on it HERE. ua-cam.com/video/CETlTQm0YcM/v-deo.html
Thanks for the content. Needed something to get me in the mood to fish. Been in a bit of a funk. I'm not sure if you ever encounter this, but we got a new guy on the work crew that likes to fish. Everyone's like Nick likes to fish, he will get you on some trout. I admit I love fishing, but I'm a bit of a solo guy, and can't exactly call myself knowledgeable. I mostly use fishing as an excuse to not hang out with anyone but myself. How should I play this?

In my neck of the woods, we had a hot dry summer which just means more snow/glacier melt. It's maddening when you can see the flow is great, the fish are jumping, but the visibility is non-existent! Fingers crossed that someday soon I'll check one of our local rivers and I'll be able to see the bottom.
Dom, as a PA guy 1,700 miles away in Colorado, this look back to the Commonwealth does a lot for the soul. Thanks, keep up the great work.
Hey now. Glad to hear it. Have fun out there.
Completely agree..

For sure.

Fall is my favorite time to fish.
Same
Fantastic river, just the size I love. Thanks for the tour.
Right on.
Another interesting, informative video, Dom. And perfect timing as I'm coming out to SC in about a month for a few days of fishing!
Cheers, Mike.

Wonderful content and production! Thanks Dom.
Thanks, Scott. I sincerely appreciate your support, buddy.

Nice. Good call.
Good stuff Guys.

I haven’t been out to fish for trout since the beginning of June. I am ready for some fall fly fishing.
Nice

Very cool comment. Ha. Thank you.
Excellent video as always. I love this video style you are doing. You are looking thin Dom! Baseball season got you down some lbs ???
Ha! I thought the same thing while watching this footage back! Losing a few beer pounds, is all. CHEERS.

Really appreciate your insights. Would you fish soft hackles at this time of year?
SURE

Just fish alone, because you want to.

Give it a shot, maybe you’ll have a great fishing buddy.
These are like episodes of Yellowstone. I don’t want them to end and want a new one everyday! So good, boys. Go Steelers
HERE WE GO STEELERS.
Cheers, brother. And thank you. Josh (Wilds Media) really nailed this one.
And I love Yellowstone too.
What's the tune in the first 10 seconds of the video? Can I find it somewhere?
Not sure. I'll ask Josh Darling . . .
What glasses are around your neck? Whats the setup in your vehicle for the rod holder?

I’m not mad that I only had to mow grass twice this summer. But if we don’t get some rain soon and get some flow going I’m gonna lose my mind.
Right on. We had it that way a couple summers ago. This has been a good water year for us. Tough when it's not. Hope you get water soon. Cheers.

Here's to good rain . . .
Remember to only kiss fish with wet lips
This is a good point that is too often overlooked. Ha.
