Thank you! Glad you enjoy these. :) With the support of our Patreon Members we are able to produce these videos www.patreon.com/jensenflyfishing :)
Great stuff guys. Love that kind of intimate fishing, slow stealthy stalking in a beautiful little creek. Judging from the size of fish, I'm guessing NZ.
These are the best kind for sure. While NZ it could as easily be Alberta with those browns. So similar to one another 😊🍻
Brava Brava Brava fantastic angling….the play by play summary at the 41 minute marker was amazing….i would have been out breath! Thanks for sharing!
Wasn't that fun? Glad you loved it too! 😊🍻
wow, you two are crazy incredibly talented learned flyfishers and equally competent and brilliant videographers, thanks

that first hookup!! beautiful fishing guys!!!
risk it for a biscuit!
Loved that day 😊
Fab video, thanks for letting us join your trip....
That stream looked almost identical to my local in North Yorkshire. I say almost as our trout aren't anywhere near as big 😮💨
That's really fun water no matter the size of the browns tho. Getting in and lining up on those buggers, hoping they don't spook is the fun stuff 😊
that first fish was sick with all the navigation of the foliage. Excellent work even if the fish wasn't landed the take was incredible considering all the things you had to navigate to get it.
These are the ones we love, certainly! :) Always give it a go - good things might happen :)
another great video. best videos about 👌
Glad you think so! Glad you're here 😊🍻
You two do an amazing job with these videos. Appreciate the effort you all do on them. I know it has to be hours and days to capture these fish feeding . The rise videos are awesome. So crisp and clear. I think the best trout videos I have ever seen. Great job.
Thank you. These particular style of videos are the future of our channel, tbh, as they are our passion and that's all we want to focus on. We have to be careful in some of it though as while thos video was one day of fishing it winds up being two x 12 hr days of editing to bring it to where it is as shared here. Heaps of time and work from a day of passion! 😊🥰🎯🍻
This is just a spectacular video. I could watch trout feeding all day, it’s something we just don’t see much here in southern Ontario.
Thanks for watching. We offer a lot of trout feeding on our channel. It's a big part of what we capture.
Hey there Richard Gere😎👌🏻
;)
You should do a video on wading / approach techniques to show you can get pretty close to even sizable fish
We've covered that in detail through the chapters of our Fly Fishing Trout Streams Master-Course - a stand alone or part of our Patreon channel: www.patreon.com/jensenflyfishing/shop/fly-fishing-trout-streams-master-course-36596?source=storefront
Epic Rumble in the Jungle, Amelia!
Heaps of luck, patience, luck, fun, luck... 🤣😊🍻
Good video ❤
Thank you! 😊🍻
Hello dear friend, I haven't heard from you and Emlina for some time due to work conditions, I wish you success and well-being 🙏🏻🌹❤️💯
Thank you very much - hope life treats you well moving forward!
Beautiful🔥🔥🔥👍💪
Thank you! Cheers!
Just found out about you guys a few weeks ago, even tho I've been fly fishing for more that 10 years. You guys sound Canadian! Great video.
Welcome to the channel and thank you, so glad you enjoy what we do and share 😊🍻
On that first hook up couldn't u wade up past that bramble and work him out that way? Love your guys content. So positive, skilled and technical. Great stuff ❤
Not sure if you mean prior to fishing or after the hookup but in both, my reply would be no. Wading into an upstream position pre-casting is a non-starter as I'd have long spooked it; trying to run upstream after the hook up to get position is also a no as that fish was under cover quickly - I was playing the different odds of trying to work it under and through. No matter, you lose a % of those fights in these waters :)
@jensenflyfishing I meant after hook up but I completely see what u mean. Love the channel! Tickles Me when I hear Tim Flagler saying Jensen is making fun of Tom Rosenbaur on their tie-offs. I assume that's you? You're all great. Fly fishing community is great for the most part :)
I just love how well the photography is done , and those close up releases are as good as it gets ..well done.
Can you possibly let me know what net you are using with the scale combined ?
Thank you
Mike
Great to hear you enjoy our camera work. 🙂
It's called a McLean Angling short handle weight net.
Wow. 🤦♂️❤
:)
37min in holy epic
Pretty crazy fight - that one found the hazards, one and all! 😊
@@jensenflyfishing that was crazy you did well. So good to watch 🤩
@@jackkingsborough1898luck goes our way now and then- it has to otherwise wave goodbye! 😂
I suspect 99/100 anglers would have lost that fish. I’m not sure there’s a better fish fight on YT.
Really good content!
Sebastian from Bann flys put me on to you .
You have lots of huge fish, the water must be very rich, do you have lots of small fish? Regards.
Hello and welcome 😊 The waters we fish tend to be no more productive, just having limitations to carrying capacity that minimize the fish numbers but allow size growth. No typical trout water ever really has that many more kg/km of water as mother nature is quite universal in production on these types of waters globally, it's just how those kg of trout are distributed by those carrying capacity limitations that make things interesting re: sizes 😊
@@jensenflyfishinginteresting comment. That absolutely makes sense, less competition which allows access to more food and prime holding spots when water warms.
If you don't wanna spook em just take about 3ft of braided dacron and glue one end to your fly line end best 9x5
Then super glue other end to say nice 5x tippet
I used t use that brown glue comes in small jar at fly sop so guides don't hang up line smooth in n out
It's impossible to "Splat a dry fly with braided dacron as the fly "Alights" every time no matter how bad you cast
Unreal advantage
45 years flyfishing and my early mentor in Idaho theater great Kenny Mcgee taught me this
Was one of my best kept secrets
I quit year ago
Why?
Don't wanna hurt them anymore that hook is sharp
Bye now from Oregon
That's good stuff. The hard thing to do online is reply to good comments that aren't really applicable given the difference of situations and conditions. The "splat" happens with EVERY single presented fly when examined at 300 frames per second video. Even the most delicate presentation that is delivered to a trout in flat, gin-clear water (ie, not just practice casting to be perfect but real-life scenario) is going to have quite an alarming "splat" when shot and reviewed. Add a dropper nymph with tungsten and it's incredible to see how much of a wave the "plop" of the smallest bead makes. Do that with a 9 - 12' leader with the required line speed to turn over on these fish? Nope. Ask any veteran New Zealand guide how the fish respond - they watch that every day as they host N American anglers that think it will work. Again, your method is sound of course, just not applicable here.
Love the tips, but since the NZ trout have almost no predators, other than us, they will sometimes let you almost step on them before you drop your fly. Other times, from 50 ft and 5x they will refuse a tiny fly for an hour of casting. Seeing them is the key, as you say, but sometimes it doesn't seem to matter whether they see us.
I think you just described brown trout about anywhere we've ever fished them if your approach is perfect but the angling pressure is unknown... until it's obvious if they've been pressured or not. The kick is that we're targeting specific trout in how we fish and those are the exact same fish no matter where we travel and they are almost always as easy/difficult, no matter if Alberta, Montana or NZ. The only exception is Patagonia, where the hideous wind keeps them essentially unspeakable if your approach is sound
What polarized glasses are you using?
Hiya - Smith low light ignitor lenses. Get 'em! 😊🇨🇦
Do you two ever fish Fiberglass for these small streams? Any reason why you prefer the graphite?
We definitely do and have since I was a kid, off and on. Modern graphite is just so much more reliably accurate and light is the reason. But there is nothing like the feel of glass and its weight/flex ratio. 😊
I never will fish a creek with fish that size. Im from upstate NY, i may catch one 19in fish a year. To me thats a trophy, a decent fish is 16in.
Exactly why we'll always reply to people that size is only relevant to the water fished and the angler fishing... and that fly fishing only means something if it means something to you. :) All the best, hope you're having a great season.
Is this Canada 🇨🇦 ?
😊
Which Orvis line do you two use? Taper?
Hydros Trout Double Taper 🎯🍻
@@jensenflyfishing I’ve been using a Orvis WF trout line for years, but I hear that a double taper can yield a more delicate presentation. Do you find that it can turn over dry - dropper rigs ok. Also work good in close? I fish the Driftless here in Wisconsin, spring creeks. It must be a good line, as it appears to a go to line on a lot of the videos I’ve seen. Thanks for any helpful perspective here. Tight lines and cheers. I also want to purchase and watch the the pheasant tail box video, as I believe variations of that pattern are mostly all you need to trick a trout 🤙😄
WF lines vs DT for us come down to how long a leader do you fish? I'll be bold here in saying this: if you are going to go and purchase/watch the pheasant tail nymphs video, simply subscribe to our digital membership as that video is included in membership. SPECIFIC to the dt question... in the digital membership is a DETAILED explanation of why we use DT lines vs WF on short casting with long leaders, specific discussion on long leaders and casting them... all in our Fly Fishing Trout Streams Master-Course that is also included in that same membership. I could give an overview here but it sounds like you want to specifically learn in detail and that is where we have that detailed information. It will help immensely. 🍻
@@jensenflyfishing Cool. I’m gonna check that out. I appreciate it 😃
@@joshteague8904 def look into the Gear section and casting sections of that. It will help immensely, covering how we do things. Cheers
What size net is that? McLean?
Yup - think thr short handle trout weigh net, medium? Just replaced it so think that's right? 🍻
Thank you! Hope you guys are doing great!!
Very nice video, guys, but why are you fishing with #5 rods? 😱😱
It's clear from your videos that these rods are too soft.... These fish should be fished with a #6 line...Try for example the Loomis GLX 9 feet#6 in two strands, you'll understand why it has become a legend...🙂
Funny, we gun the 💩 out of our rods because of where we fish and someone projects we need different rods. Sure. 🤣
@@jensenflyfishing Well, yes. Your rods are too soft for the fish you catch...and it shows in your videos...after... If you don't accept comments...Merry Christmas to you!😘
@@sauvonsledoubs the internet never ceases to amaze us with its projections.
@@jensenflyfishing Oh yes.. You never know who you can talk to on the Internet 🙂Don't be stubborn, if you don't want to change your rod model, try fishing for a while with an Orvis Helios 3D (the 3F are too soft for this type of fish) in no 6. You will gain a lot of comfort when fighting... Which will more than make up for the fact of having a "harder" rod when casting... And you will also have more control of the fish in crowded places... Happy New Year to you both! 🤗🤗
@@sauvonsledoubs jeepers. We fish how we fish. We have zero interest in upping wt classes nor a stiffer rod given how we fish - little fly line and long leaders on short casts. There is zero feel in the other rods you suggested in this kind of scenario. If you took the time to inquire we'd have shared that and more with you- hence the trade offs. Maybe ask first? 🎉
Brilliant! What camera are you using?
I think the GH5 on this one. :)
Love love love this one. Very similar to my local creek. Except the fish in this video are twice as big as mine and I spook 100x more fish than you! Brilliant footage and you explain things so well. Love what you do.
So glad that you loved it, connected to it and appreciate the methodology of our try 😊 Hopefully there are little helps along the way 😊🍻
