Really appreciate the kind words & compliments my man! 👌🤙😁🎣

Thanks man….. appreciate it! 👌😁🤙

Yessir, unfortunately Mother Nature can be brutal to some of our favorite fishing spots & habitat! Ugh😔😔😔 Best of luck with that endeavor though! 👌🤙😁

My pleasure Boss, Glad you’re enjoying & Best of Luck once you make it out!!! 👌🤙😁🎣

Appreciate the compliments, my friend‘s and yes, I was rather astonished when I found that caliber of fish living in that small stream! I’m fairly certain that there are more big fish in small streams than people Realize, they are just really smart when they get that big or bigger! 🤙😁

Yessir, man after my own heart 👌🤙

Thank you very kindly for the follow & the Love my friend….. Glad you’re enjoying!!!☺️ I try to bring as much excitement as I can! 🤙

Many many Thanks boss! 👌🤙😉😁

I Thank you kindly sir…..😊 Going to have to agree with you on the net! Lol👌😜

Yeah I agree Mepps is all I use as far as spinners go ✌🏼💙👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yeah most of the streams I fish have one or multiple beaver dams in them, which do very good at producing big fish as in they are loaded with small bait fish which these bigger fish just thrive on and become giant…..then when these beaver dams break out these fish have to go someplace! 👌🤙😁 I am in total agreement, there is no better freshwater fish to eat than a walleye…… Crappie, perch and bluegill are definitely a close second and I do also enjoy catfish, but I like to throw these big trout back so I can build a history with them! 🤙😁👌🎣

And Bud, that’s honestly how I started out & what it’s all about……. Exploration & the outdoors…… once you start figuring things out though, it’s like a snowball effect of success just starts happening and before you know it you’ll be catching nice fish on a regular basis! Tight Lines my friend 🎣

That was with worms. Rarely use spinners or streamers, but I guess I'd better start!

They mainly eat baitfish like chubs, shiners & sculpin & also crayfish!

I’ve definitely been considering the single hook….. but have been pinching my barbs for the last cpl years…… helps immensely on deep hook removal with minimal damage!! 👌🤙 Thank you kindly for the follow & glad you’re enjoying! Tight Lines😊

No you’re mine! ☺️😎

Greatly appreciative on the follow….. I actually bounce around all over the state boss….. I’ve found bigs in every region with the exception of the southeastern corner….. just never put much time in there!! 👌🤷‍♂️😁

union county penns creek is a great spot🤫

Lol…. Yeah man I slammed my tip of my Berkley Cherrywood in the door breaking off the front section of it & from that point forward I’d break that section off of a brand new rod because I got used to the length reduction & how much better it worked for me & most importantly how much more accurate I was at casting….. all from an accident lol….. The streamers are a homemade pattern that my buddy makes for me, he doesn’t really like giving information out about those but they are 1/4oz. 👌👍 Appreciate the love too man👌🤙😁🥰

Hey no worries, I’m new to streamers so I wouldn’t know the first thing about it anyway ha. Is it like a wolly bugger? I thought that was you with the rod, what length do ya do then? This creek really won’t allow for a very long pole it doesn’t look like. Thanks for the reply

Yeppers….. the Mepps Aglia are my 💯 go-to for a spinner….. I’ve had several lifetimes of success on them already! 👌😁🤙

​@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620what size agalia and color..do you use with or without tails

@@jameymoats3627 i basically run all plain gold 2s & 3s in the Aglia!! 👌🤙

Thanks man🤙

I run Shimano, I run the 500 & 1000 series….. doesn’t really matter on the model…. They all work good! 👌🤙😁

@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 Thanks for this response!

Yessir……. Two years in a row put her back! 👌🤙😁😎

In this particular video, I was using a Berkley Cherrywood 5 foot with a 500 series Shimano reel, 8 pound test always! I have recently started using, in the past year, a St. Croix Premier 5’6” though!

I spool 8lb Stren mono

Males have typically a bigger longer head with a hooked bottom jaw once they get real big or the technical term “Kype”…… where as the females have a shorter more rounded head and mouth! The big males will typically look more aggressive, like a alligator, musky or pike when they get 20+ inches! 👌

@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 , cool! Thank you! . . . Yeah, earlier, I caught myself laughing to myself: while most of us are trying to identify the species, Dusty is identifying the gender of the fish. I'm like, "What the heck?" 😆 Although I will catch and release most of the time, I would like to catch a nice meal once in a while. With that said, releasing the large females would seem to be the most vital -- but, of course, releasing some males too.

@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 , also, in one of your videos, you had mentioned that come July when the water temperatures rise to 60 or 65° F you stop fishing. Would you expound on that? . . . What are some of these unwritten rules of (trout) fishing? What are some of the ethics?

@@matthewmcdermit8744 well essentially when the water temps get 65 degrees or above it’s unsafe to catch & release trout….. they basically have a super hard time recovering from a fight & are at grave risk of dying so it’s best to just NOT fish at all under those warmer water conditions! 👌

Appreciate it boss….. glad you’re enjoying! 🤙 In this video I was actually just rocking a 5’ Berkley Cherrywood….. I’ve since graduated to St. Croix’s since then! 👌

Really appreciate it man…🤙😁 Yeah they’re homemade, actually a good buddy of mine makes them for me! They’re essentially a marabou jig! 🤙

Amazing videos and trophies Dusty! Great camera work too!

I pretty much hunted for big trout for most of my life, a lot of trial and error and exploration was involved along the way, pretty much keep your ears open for people that talk about big fish streams and maybe try those…. The bottom line is most streams. Have big fish some streams have bigger numbers of big fish…… put the right amount of time in & you’ll find them! 🤙😁

Thanks for the response. There’s a couple of promising streams off the beaten path I am planning on hitting in the near future that I know hold wild browns, I’m going to throw some big streamers on my fly rod and hope for the best. your videos have me hooked! Keep it up!

Yeah man, you give ‘em an inch sometimes they take a mile in that structured water! I run 8lb. Stren mono, I’ve saved a ton of big fish by horsing them a bit right out of the gate to keep them from running hard into the structure! 👌🤙😁

Legit lol….. i’ve actually thought about trying to get a bigger one with a bigger longer handle but truthfully the bigger the net the harder they are to carry and the more they get in the way, especially in the thick areas that I fish! 🤷‍♂️

It’s a homemade design/pattern….. my good buddy makes them

I get all around the state….. there’s quality water in every region 👌🤙

In April huh!? Lol

And most of my earlier videos I am using a Berkley Cherrywood 5’….. then I started using a St Croix Premier in a 5’6” Medium Power, Fast Action & a St.Croix Legend Tournament in same👆

Do you mean out of all of my videos or just this one?

I would consider them to be ultralite, I am using two different rods now the Berkley Cherrywood 5’ and the St. Croix premier 5’6”

My set up is a very reasonable priced Abu Garcia Devil spin rod UL with a Daiwa Legalis been using the same rod since I started spinning for browns 4/5 years ago I’m on my 2nd rod after snapping the top off on my way out on an early morning session £80 for rod & reel over here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ✌🏼💙👍🏼

I wish I had discovered ultralight spinning years ago I always bait fished it was by accident I got into spinning 🤷🏼‍♂️ I found a tiny Panther Martin in a tree & caught a load of fish that night never looked back since also use Rapal & Salmo lures but for the most it’s Mepps spinners for me ✌🏼💙👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Appreciate the follow boss….. I’ve got a Ton more content archived to get out there yet! 🤙😁🎣

I actually just run 8 lb. Stren mono….. let’s me horse the big one just enough to keep them out of the structure…… for the most part haha🤙😂

Streamers & Spinners as of Late! 👌

😂😂😂 They’re on their way lmao

Yep

Negative my friend

I honestly catch them all over the state…. With the exception of the southeastern corner! Just cause I have really given that region much time yet! 👌😁

All Wild 👌🤙😁

The ones in PA Brotha 👌

You can’t go wrong with any water in Central PA….. big or small it all quality water for the most part! 👌😁🎣

@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 thanks man, are micro jerk baits n spinners straight n woukd i be better on mono line or is light braid fine. sorry last question not gonna blow you up

@@hunterphillips9754 yeah man either of those options would be good and honestly, I would alternate baits a little bit just to see what’s working better on that particular water…… I prefer mono myself never really got into braid, but if you have luck with it, it is definitely stronger! 🤙😁

The great state of Pennsylvania

Thanks for the tip…… I CLEARLY don’t know what I’m doing……😂👌😂☝️🤣

@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 standing in the middle of the creek... You are one of those folks that catches a few fish(in a bathtub sized Creek) and thinks they got it going on.. 🤣 👏 The fish literally cannot leave.

@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 CLEARLY 🤣 🤣

@@emilymiller1853 I’m just trying to figure out your argument here…. The main reason I walk in these small streams is to navigate them since the surrounding terrain is very thick, brushy or inaccessible…… aside from that I fish upstream casting & making my presentations up ahead of me since the fish always are facing upstream…… I never spook them approaching from downstream, even if I’m in the middle of the stream! 🤦‍♂️😂👌🤙😁

I’m actually going to try to get that info out on my next video…… keep your eyes peeled for it! 👍👌

It’s So funny how some people think apparently that taking photos of fish is going to make them spontaneously explode & most certainly die…..🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I take pride in my big fish catches & certainly have respect for these fish but do also like to take a good photo of the big ones, seems like out of 4 or 5 photos you only get one that’s really good, but holding them out of the water for a few seconds per photo then putting them back in the water doesn’t hurt them one bit…. The only time this could ever even be a possibility is if the fish was hooked deep & bleeding or the water temps were north of 65° & I don’t fish when it’s that warm & I try not to even take them out of the water if they’re hooked bad ensuring a quick release! But thank you for the compliment! 👌

Thanks for the advice 👌🤙 I’m new at this!!!

😂😂😂

PA

All over the state…. Lol👌

@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 lol.... Sweet spot man! You ever wanna talk about your adventures on our podcasts hit me up. It's a ton of fun

I am not!

@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 My brother has a friend named Dusty Rhoads. What a coincidence!

Pennsylvania 👌

All of my videos are from Pennsylvania 👌😊

Im in NW PA and this fishing is great. It’s all on PUTTING IN THE WORK!!! I love watching these slobs being caught and released. I keep if they swallow the hook only then we eat them.

I 100% catch and release all of my wild trout no matter how big…..👌

Thanks for the tips!……. Yeah those 25+ inch trout should be just way more docile and easy to handle…… I will keep my eye out for an educational & instructional video from you on how to properly handle them big ones!!! 👌😁 Thanks in advance

​@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 no reason ro be a sarcastic prick. I wasn't sure if you knew how to handle a fish or not. 90% of people that trout fish dont know how to handle one.

You chill in your videos where you’re catching 25+s out of small streams! 👌👌👌 I promise I’ll be eagerly anticipating them😂👌😂

I actually get around to most regions in the state in these videos with the exception of the southeast corner! 👌🤙😁

@@chasingthewildwithdustyrho2620 ever hit up McKean and Elk Counties? I know of a couple streams around here that hold some really nice wild browns.
