  • FLY FISHING FOR BIG RAINBOW TROUT AND BROWN TROUT!!
    If you can catch a fish in this world famous river, then you can Catch a fish anywhere in the world. Or at least that’s the quote that get’s thrown around by anglers… meaning this is known for being a very difficult fishery. Throwing size 22-26 flies, seeing dozen’s of anglers even on a week day, and watching fish rise on flies you can’t even see is the norm. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that fly fishing doesn’t have to be difficult, it can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be.
    Fly fishing pressured water can be tough, but the idea is to find water within the fishery that either doesn't get fished as much, or to find a technique that allows you to fish it in a way that fish aren't used to. In this instance, we used streamers that looked like leeches to fool some weary trout into getting into our net. We may or may not have unnecessarily risked our lives in the process, but catching few beautiful brown trout make it all worth it.
    I hope you guys enjoyed this video! If you like seeing us fish some highly pressured water then let me know in the comments below! As always thanks for watching this fly fishing video.

    Fished that quite a bit in the 90’s. Tough smart fish in that section. My friend and I watched some dude land fish after fish one afternoon. I finally asked him how he was doing it and he showed me his setup. No fly line, straight mono with a 7x tippet nymphing, no indicator just watching his line for the slightest hesitation. Next trip We offloaded all our fly line and went straight mono, and voala, started having great success. Nice vid!

    That’s my home waters! Where I learned to fish! Upper section is way better than lower and mid! NEVER HIKE THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RIVER! Loose gravel and a long, long way down. You can hike south side until right where you caught that first rainbow. Then only hike the north side from there up! Beautiful fishery! An anglers dream!
