BIG BROWN TROUT ON THE FLY!
In this video I went out fly fishing in an attempt to catching some big pre spawn brown trout. I started out streamer fishing during a thunderstorm and had some great luck, but nothing too large. After several hours of fishing I was lucky enough to land one of my biggest browns of the year in a tiny creek. The clear water made fishing tough but I was able to coax a big one into eating my nymph around mid day. The clear water and close quarters made landing the fish a challenge, but in the end I was able to get it to the net.
To land the big fish I used....
Rod: Risen Fly 23PS Nymphing rod (10 foot 3 wt)
Reel: Risen Gideon 5/6 wt
Fly line: Cortland Euro Nymph Mono core
Tippet: Cortland 4X Florocarbon
Net: Catch Cam Pig Series Net

Mad respect for this one! Not just for catching big fish but being an angler who cleans up trash. I've been doing that ever since I was little and now my two older kids do it too when I take them fishing.

Those were some impressive fish! But I think I’m equally impressed by your cleaning up litter along the stream. Too few anglers, unfortunately, show that degree of commitment to their sport and the environment. Well done - and keep up the great work!

Big thumbs up for picking up the trash. It starts with one person who cares. The difference between takers and givers. Respect for the places we learn to care about. Awesome fishing too. May those fish always bite! One other thing. I really like the idea of the biggest ones as breeders, not trophies. Smallest ones live to grow. And those in betweeners are the eaters (within limits.)

That first brown is actually the reason I love fishing for brookies. They’re big fans of that “WEEEE!” style attack…so much so that they often miss it because they’re also goofy and have mediocre aim. Luckily, they’ll often come back for round two if you don’t stick em.

Awesome video beautiful fish I love the fact that you cleanup trash at those areas me and my uncle would do that at these beautiful leases we would fish. It just upsets me that people trash some of these places and our favorite lease got shut down because of people leaving trash and owner got tired of it and shut it down. Very frustrating takes that one person to ruin it for everyone else. Thanks for the wonderful videos

Nice Trout. But grabbing and pulling on your rod above the handle is an excellent way to break it when fighting a larger fish. Puts stress on the rod that it's not designed for.

What a beast of a fish. Loved your video and I think it's great that you and your friends clean up after others. Maybe the "Others" will watch this and feel guilty enough for littering and spoiling a beautiful place like that creek but I won't hold my breath. I tend to think there are two sorts of people who venture out into places like that, those who truly love the outdoors and those who just go out and say they love the outdoors but don't take notice of nature/wildlife or their surroundings because they weren't taught to appreciate it from a young age. Those are the dangerous ones who will throw their trash down or leave it behind. Hopefully videos such as this will educate them.
