- Quick 4 hours before the heat came on the farmington today ... one bruiser took a 12 red dart, two browns on a 16 pliva, and one fiesty little native (?) brown smashed a 12 red dart also ... fish were hungry early and turned off quick which I guess is deep summer fishing.

Gave me anxiety with the net on that STUD. Well done my friend.
thanks for watching!
good luck geese, love to see it.
Brownie at 10:40 was impressive my friend ! Net job gave me chills ! Nice vid again my friend
Thanks for watching ... I almost fainted myself when I missed him the first time!
Man I have spent my entire life on that River I grew up right up above Satan's kingdom the opposite Bank of puddletown and recently moved back to my childhood home as there was nobody living there at the time anyway I was just commenting to compliment your fish that was a beautiful brown I have never seen coloring like that and even with all the fish that I pulled out of that incredible River or any other River for that matter but keep up the good work I love the videos enjoy the fishing
Thanks for watching! You are lucky to live right there that is awesome. So many healthy fish in that river system. Good luck.
@@fly-f1sh140 thanks man same to you I am very lucky
Great Video , Love that monster Brown you caught . The pattern on it was absolutely amazing ! Tight Lines !!
Thanks for watching!
Good luck geese! Great videos,. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
Nice! That brownie was a serious pig of a fish. I’m a big fan of geese and ducks as well!
Thanks for watching ! If that big brown was the fish I caught when the geese came by I would have fainted!
Wow beautiful pattern on that monster brown. Good stuff.
Thanks for watching ! It was really unique wish I had another hand to take some awesome pictures of it.
Nice video. That big brown looked different than the 1st. 2. Worm like spots like a brook/brown hybrid. Maybe?
Thanks for watching ... it was definitely a strange colored fish surely something weird in the genes.
That spot where you were at can be feast or famine but can hold some serious browns. A lot of people spin cast there. In the fast run at the end of your video I pulled a 20” brown out of there. 2 years ago it would be rare to see anyone now it’s packed.
Great video!
Thanks for watching ! I love that spot for ease of filming from the side I fished and I could not believe I only saw two more people in 4 hours. I need to do a lot more exploring without camera and find some more good filming spots.
@@fly-f1sh140 there’s a couple good spots that are filming friendly just a little more north of where you were. There’s a decent spot that would be the same just north of Church’s Pool but there’s always like 3-5 people fishing that run
Nice video, I was thinking about trying the spot by Callahan park. Do you think it would be good this time of year? Or is it too far down the river?
I think give it a go early morning for sure. Its pretty deep in there.
Yikes ! Nice job and a pig of a brown 👍The Farmington is such a great river, fishes well all year long and any fish you get into can be a tank ! Try and hit it twice a month! Pulled some good ones at the spot you fished , which is hit hard regularly! These fish will feed regardless, it’s just a matter of giving them what they want ! Love the content, keep the videos coming!! Tight lines
Thanks for watching! I love that spot for the ease of filming but they can get picky quick there.
Im new to fly fishing but what do you mean "red dart" is that a fly pattern. Dont chastise me guys just trying to learn. Thanks
Thanks for watching ! That is exactly what I mean when ever you hear me say "he took a red dart" or "got him on the mop" . You can google any of those patterns and places to buy them and videos on how people tie the flies will come up.
Google Lance Egan red dart - fly fish food you tube channel does vids on how to tie them yourself and they also sell them - Egan works for the shop
Derek u mentioned you didn’t like the micro leader you tried can you explain the leader system you went back to. I’m in the process of setting up a dedicated euro reel with euro line just looking for a simple
But effective leader set up. I don’t think the micro leader would be the way to go for me either at least not yet. Thanks
Definitely ... So far my current favorite rig is 20 feet of 14lbs Cortland Euro Nymph Nylon (any 14-15 lbs you like really maxima, amnesia, etc) right to 18 inches of .013 sighter. that gives me a 14 lbs to 12 lbs drop. My next attempt will be to a 12 lbs to 10 lbs drop I think. My shortcoming is that when I drop below 10 pounds I snap the leader in the middle usually from a snag or just not paying attention. I also prefer to have the least knots possible so I sacrifice some casting ability for that by not building a taper to the end. My rig is more of a hard hat lunch pail style.
@@fly-f1sh140 thanks for the reply. I will give it a try as I dig my way through this maze they call Euro Nymphing
Please can you tel me the spat’s I just move to America e very wanna catch trout :)
Start from the bridge over the Farmington and go up stream. Every parking spot will have fish. It is not easy though and it will take time to learn.
Why not work on dry fly fishing?
Good question ... primarily because I have limited time to fish and I want to go with the strongest hand possible. I spent a good 20 years trying to fish both and had some success here and there. When I made the decision to focus on nymphing with a tight line rig my success shot through the roof and I did not have to rely on surface feeding fish. I kind of never looked back. I should incorporate more back in for sure and I probably will when I can fish any day I want to. For now though, I can take my tight line rig to any trout stream in almost all conditions and be successful. From Maine down to North Carolina the exact flies and techniques in this video have produced many fish without the need of knowing any hatches, having specific flies, or being there "at the right time".
@@fly-f1sh140 I totally get. I have been fly fishing for almost 30 years and just recently purchased a tight line nymph rig. I’m looking forward to putting it in action at some point. I’m having surgery today on my wrist so it’s going to be a little while.
@@alanstrober6296 good luck! stick with it and watch and read as much as you can and when it clicks for you I can guarantee it’s going to be surreal
Great Video, What's your go-to tippet size you go to on the Farmington.
Thanks for watching .... I always start with 5x Cortland Premium Flouro, If I struggle I will drop to 6x. If I see fish feeding or rising all over and I am not catching anything I will reduce bead size and tippet size if that makes sense. I only go to 7x when I want to torture myself a bit.
Tiger trout not brown
I think you are right.
