Justin I’ve been enjoying watching you get into the trout game! I know I’ve sent you pics on IG bout the big browns we chase here farther east. Excited to see you learn the fly game! Can’t wait for you to fall down the rabbit hole with streamers! Hope you go to Galloups Streamer School sometime! Rent a boat and throw jerkbaits, streamers, spoons & flies toward the bank next time you go! Oh and can’t wait til you discover the White river!!!
Also at 34:27 those are redds from spawning trout. My guess is if you see trout up shallow in groups or pairs, they are either prepping to spawn or are on redds. Unlike bass fishing, fishing for trout on redds is considered bad form & looked down upon in the trout world.
So cool to see the legend LFG here at our home stomping grounds. The Ozarks are definitely a sportsman paradise and if we’re being honest we kind of like how much of a secret that is sometimes lol. But regardless it’s cool to see one of our favorite creators taking a trip to our backyard.
i really enjoy your fly fishing videos over all other fishing vids you put out. I tie hundreds of flies each year and would love to send you a fly box full. Thanks for all u do
My dad lives in NW arkansas now, always enjoy hitting the tailwaters of these lakes. Going back in Feb, to fish the shad kill. Glad you can enjoy day of fishing with your dad as well
Hey LFG!!! What in the H$!! was the this? Relaxing, educational, great scenery, family time with your dad and making memories, and catching some great trout on special baits!!! Probably your best video so far! Rangers... Lead the Way!
Taneycomo is my favorite fishery in the world, fished it a lot with grandpa and dad and use to work at the hatchery there My best is 27 inch, 10.3 lbs brown trout
Loved the LFD clinic on day 1. 3 consecutive casts! Also enjoyed the two different techniques. The quality of trout was just fantastic. Happy New Year! ...and thanks for sharing.
listening to you talk about fly fishing for trout, the walk to the trout river, the calming/relaxing of the river, fishing with your dad, I get that every time I go fishing, and you get it now. Be careful, that's a sign of maturity and we can't have any of that, lol
All those fish at your feet reminded me of when I went to Oklahoma for my first attempt at trout fishing. I was working hard with my fly rod and caught one. My phone had taken a swim so there was no picture. I came back up to where my wife and kids were swimming. My son had caught one with his bare hands while swimming! He was more than happy to rub it in, too.
I bet it will be at least 4 of ya but hoping all 6 of ya sooner then later. Thanks for sharing the awesomeness that some of us can only enjoy these days because someone like you and your dad would share it with the world.
Love that river, used to fish on the other side near the hatchery in the summertime when I visited my grandparents. It is really nice to wade in the summer when it is in the low 90's!!! And Tablerock is right there!
That little islet at 17:47 is where I caught my PR Rainbow, and I'll never forget it. 26" caught in August of 2022 with a brown/green hopper, floating down, right off the bank, literally inches from the shore. I love my local Taneycomo!
Definitely love some fly fishing and trout fishing content. Love all your content. Can’t wait for some spring crappie catch and cook. God bless! And tight lines
Nice to see you getting into the fly fishing. I'm from the Northwest so I've been doing this for years. Next you need to start fishing streamers and maybe move into a trout spey rod setup. Swinging flies on that river would really get you hooked. Wish I lived closer so I could show and teach you some other fly fishing techniques. The floating line and sinking leader to a fly, would have been great in that shallow water. Great videos really enjoy your channel.
Just think you we're only hop away from Bass Cat factory. Was such a good time it looked like, was surprised you didn't fry up a couple 20+ in a frying pan! Amazing how you can just scoop up a fish with the net! That's a truly game rich environment for sure. God has truly blessed you 🙏
Great timing for this to drop. I was just steelhead fishing the other day and I needed some good trout fishing content to get my fix today. Haven't been able to get back out yet.
Man you will be amazed how many big rainbows are in that stretch of the White! Summer and fall are best. And the pressure is high, but if you know the exact spots……😁 And the boat is critical lol.
LFG love your channel and all your content! You were the first Googan I found on UA-cam and I got hooked!!! I'm from upstate NY and I think it would be an awesome video if you made a trip up to the salmon river in Pulaski NY!!
That’s awesome! I just got done building my first fly rod today. I had fly fished when I was a kid with my dad but I guess ended up growing out of it or got busy. Now it’s time to go practice for when it’s time to teach my boys. I was trying to get my wife to go over to roaring river over the holiday but I didn’t do a good enough job of selling it.
Awesome video, I will be down at Taneycomo at the end of January, have to find some slurping spoons(sold out on Googan site). My favorite part of my state of Missouri is Table Rock/Taneycomo
Have you ever thought about trying the little Missouri in Arkansas? Or even white river. Both are excellent for trout both rainbow and browns as well as smallies. Love to see a video of you there.
1/16 or 1/8 ounce PJ’s finesse jig in olive brown tossed into the eddy. Slow drop so be patient. Trust me.😁 Caught the two biggest rainbows of my life in that exact stretch using that method. Oh, and 4 lb is the heaviest I would even thing of using. I prefer 3 with a reel that has a very good drag.
I actually live about 5 minutes away from where you guys were staying at trophy run. Would have been cool to run into you I fly fish the other side of the river off a trail through the woods when the water is down.
LFG! love the content man! Been watching for years. You should hit the South Holsten River in TN! So similar to this with the water coming out being so cold!
Looks like you’re at trophy run. My family went down there two years ago when my dad was renting a place at trophy run. Caught several trout off that same bank.
It's the White River technically but the stretch below Table Rock is called Lake Taneycomo because it is held back by the Powersite Regeneration dam 15 miles downstream and portions of Taneycomo are deep even when it's low flow at pool level. When it's cold, good flies are glo bugs, and San Juan worms since the temperature puts the fall spawners in egg crankin mode and you also should always have assorted colors of scud imitations and midges size 18 to 20 which it looks like you covered. Slot limit is 4 fish per day with only one over 20 inches, all others have to be under 12 inches, and only one fish can be a brown trout which would count toward your 20 inch fish since they cannot be harvested under 20 inches.
Correction: first 3 miles have the slot system (only keep rainbows under 12 or over 20) rest of river you can keep any size rainbow and no limit on how many 20+ inch bows you can keep, just the only 1 brown and it having to be 20+
You should have joind the knuckle heads below the hatchery foul hooking 12 pounders lol. You'll see the biggest tour of your life with an orange glo ball stuck in his tail haha
Welcome back to the Outdoors in 24!
Let's go 👊
You should do a ice fishing video
Missouri is such a hidden gem! That place is loaded with submarines. Fish it long enough and you’ll smoke one

The excitement with your dad brought out a child side of you that every kid dreams to have with their dads. Brought a tear to my eye.

The outflow right beneath the dam is the best spot. Sometimes a lot of people but that’s where we always go. Fish everywhere
i really enjoy your fly fishing videos over all other fishing vids you put out. I tie hundreds of flies each year and would love to send you a fly box full. Thanks for all u do

Good to see you and LFD on the river, and especially using the fly rods again. Keep it up!
My favorite trout lake to fish. The fishing’s only getting better too
Hey LFG!!! What in the H$!! was the this?
Relaxing, educational, great scenery, family time with your dad and making memories, and catching some great trout on special baits!!! Probably your best video so far!
Rangers... Lead the Way!
Taneycomo is my favorite fishery in the world, fished it a lot with grandpa and dad and use to work at the hatchery there
My best is 27 inch, 10.3 lbs brown trout
Writing scripts and reading voiceover now? I kinda like it. Feels more professional like a TV show.
Loved the LFD clinic on day 1. 3 consecutive casts! Also enjoyed the two different techniques. The quality of trout was just fantastic. Happy New Year! ...and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your family with us
Only halfway through the new video lfg I like the long videos a plus it's cool seeing you spend time with lfd
Best intro to a video ever.

Old Elk FTW!!! 🙌🏼 40:24

the dad magic. take your dad or grandpa fishing they bring in thier limit in like 20 minutes and you get skunked haha
I bet it will be at least 4 of ya but hoping all 6 of ya sooner then later.
Thanks for sharing the awesomeness that some of us can only enjoy these days because someone like you and your dad would share it with the world.
Great way to wake up in the cold early morning with a new baby girl. Just calm but exciting lfg trout fishing video. Thanks for the video
One of my favorite places to fish I have a really good buddy that guides on that lake it's a really good time
Love that river, used to fish on the other side near the hatchery in the summertime when I visited my grandparents. It is really nice to wade in the summer when it is in the low 90's!!! And Tablerock is right there!
Love the Ozark area! Especially Branson, hopefully y’all got to explore the city and its beauty.
That little islet at 17:47 is where I caught my PR Rainbow, and I'll never forget it. 26" caught in August of 2022 with a brown/green hopper, floating down, right off the bank, literally inches from the shore. I love my local Taneycomo!
heck yeah! Taney is always my go to when we are in Branson and Table rock is slow.
More LFD in 2024!!!
Love trout fishing and this one was a little more technical. One of my favorite videos in a long time.
Thanks
Love the family videos especially with your dad

Definitely love some fly fishing and trout fishing content. Love all your content. Can’t wait for some spring crappie catch and cook. God bless! And tight lines
Best kinda video to start the new year! God bless your family
Welcome to my neck of the woods! I learned to fly fish on Taneycomo! The fish down there are so beautiful!

I live in Missouri your on the best water system around this area love it rhere
Just think you we're only hop away from Bass Cat factory. Was such a good time it looked like, was surprised you didn't fry up a couple 20+ in a frying pan! Amazing how you can just scoop up a fish with the net! That's a truly game rich environment for sure. God has truly blessed you 🙏
Black and yellow panther Martin and Rapala countdown Mini jerk bait work great there .
I was fishing there one morning and I got got to watch an eagle catch a trout , fly up in a tree and chow down ! Pretty cool
I think it’d be a crime for Kuiu to not ask to use this video. Absolutely love your content and your heart for the outdoors and your family!!
Loved the narration great video LFG .
Welcome to the Ozarks, I fish the headwaters at Fall Creek usually late January and early February! I live about 2 hrs. north of Branson!
Happy new years lfg. Love the channel man. Big time fan 😊
Great timing for this to drop. I was just steelhead fishing the other day and I needed some good trout fishing content to get my fix today. Haven't been able to get back out yet.
Happy new year to you and the family hope this year is blessed for all
Hope you all have a very blessed and Happy New Year.
Comming up this weekend with LFG on TNN @ 10am! Lol! Just after Jimmy Houston.
Great video, great edits. Felt like I was watching something on the Discovery channel. Great job
Congrats on your PB trout! Happy New Year!
Heard there's some pretty nice lake trout down there too.
Man you will be amazed how many big rainbows are in that stretch of the White! Summer and fall are best.
And the pressure is high, but if you know the exact spots……😁
And the boat is critical lol.
awesome vid, recomend getting a line basket for wading and fly fishing
I still need to plan a trip up there and do some night time streamers! Giant browns lurk in those waters.
Awsome video my man!!! Trout fishing is special, it’s always been my favorite type to go after in the wv mountains!
I was there at the end of summer and caught a 24in brown. I’ll be back soon!
Happy New Year, fam! Hope you and yours had/are having a great holiday season!
Same to you!
LFG love your channel and all your content! You were the first Googan I found on UA-cam and I got hooked!!! I'm from upstate NY and I think it would be an awesome video if you made a trip up to the salmon river in Pulaski NY!!
I grew up fishing taneycomo. I love it down there. And I live close in Springfield, mo.
That’s awesome! I just got done building my first fly rod today. I had fly fished when I was a kid with my dad but I guess ended up growing out of it or got busy. Now it’s time to go practice for when it’s time to teach my boys. I was trying to get my wife to go over to roaring river over the holiday but I didn’t do a good enough job of selling it.
Awesome video, I will be down at Taneycomo at the end of January, have to find some slurping spoons(sold out on Googan site). My favorite part of my state of Missouri is Table Rock/Taneycomo
Up in my neck of the woods. Check out Roaring River state park and Bennet Springs as well for great trout fishing in the Show Me State.
Have you ever thought about trying the little Missouri in Arkansas? Or even white river. Both are excellent for trout both rainbow and browns as well as smallies. Love to see a video of you there.
Dang only 4 hrs from me. Awesome video as always! Happy new year LFG
1/16 or 1/8 ounce PJ’s finesse jig in olive brown tossed into the eddy. Slow drop so be patient. Trust me.😁
Caught the two biggest rainbows of my life in that exact stretch using that method.
Oh, and 4 lb is the heaviest I would even thing of using. I prefer 3 with a reel that has a very good drag.
WOW! What an amazing fishery!
If still in the Branson area go trout fishing at Dogwood Canyon Nature Park. Keep the content up and be safe in 24.
I would love to see you make your own fly and catch a trophy on it. Love the trout fishing videos!!
Happy New Year LFG & LFD. Nice Fish..
Great video Justin.
I actually live about 5 minutes away from where you guys were staying at trophy run. Would have been cool to run into you I fly fish the other side of the river off a trail through the woods when the water is down.
If you ever have time you should try some of the wild blue ribbon trout streams in MO. Challenging but rewarding
Love the intro
You and 1 Rod should do a New Zealand tour
LFG! love the content man! Been watching for years. You should hit the South Holsten River in TN! So similar to this with the water coming out being so cold!
TN on the list!
You should make a trip up in the summer and fish for bass on Taneycomo. It's known for trout fishing, but it also holds some mondo bass
Can't believe you didn't give your Dad a swig of the good stuff !!
Happy new year to you and your family 🎉
Looks like you’re at trophy run. My family went down there two years ago when my dad was renting a place at trophy run. Caught several trout off that same bank.
You need to take the family to the copperhead mountain coaster in Branson while your there.
Just fished below table rock on taney caught over 30 browns and 200 bows between 3 of us
It's the White River technically but the stretch below Table Rock is called Lake Taneycomo because it is held back by the Powersite Regeneration dam 15 miles downstream and portions of Taneycomo are deep even when it's low flow at pool level.

Way to Go LFD got to show your son how it’s done 😂 beautiful place would love to have a chance to go there
You should have joind the knuckle heads below the hatchery foul hooking 12 pounders lol. You'll see the biggest tour of your life with an orange glo ball stuck in his tail haha
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOUR FAMILY LFG 🎉🎉🎉
Same to you
Love your channel
Happy new year justin to you and your family!!!
Same to you!
Happy new yearLFG. I hope all is well.
Happy new year!
Happy new year!!
Those trout were actually feeding around his feet. 🤪
If you're wanting a shot at a giant, go West my friend...Wyoming or bust!
You and LFD need to come to Idaho 😎🤘
Ya should get into making fly hooks and other fly fishing material
Come back and let me show you a good time out on Taney 🤌
LFG correction... It's the White River between Table Rock and Bull Shoals is "Lake Taneycomo"
Happy new year 🎉 can you do some ice fishing videos .
You need to go to the river San Juan river in northern 4 corners New Mexico
