You are definitely the best KZfaqr out there! Love hearing all the orioles and warblers singing in the background. Most KZfaqrs ruin there videos with background music. Just hearing the water and natural sounds is music to my ears. Please don’t change a thing.

Came here because another channel said this channel sucks but this channel is far better

Driftless area! Your back! Awesome!

You're living the dream! Awesome little stream in such a beautiful countryside.

Those were some nice trout. Fryin' pan size, as they say. The stream looks like modest trout water with modest cover but some nice runs and channels. Best of all? No trees to impede the backcast! Thanks Drew. From Michigan, 4/12/24. Sixteen days until the Michigan trout opener. Headed to camp with the same 6 guys for 25 years. Is it time to go yet???

You got to love those days on the Driftless when the Black Caddis hatch is on. You're so right about keeping your shadow off the water on these clear water spring creeks. Trout can sense large black moving objects very well and one shadow can spook an entire run. So glad you found that first stream on the second day - it's one of my favorites. My PB Brown Trout was caught there, along with several Tigers. I've scored a Brown/Brookie/Rainbow trifecta there on multiple occasions. Further up on that stream there are some big Brookies hiding out under the banks. Another great video Drew!

Man I love it when they're looking up. Another good video, Drew!

U got The spirit!!!congratulations!!!💪👍✌️

Wow - those are some awesome wild Browns!

Love the good vibes! Great place to fish too!

Little stream,nice trout! Splendid fly fishing. Thanks mister!❤

Loving the long videos and that dry fly stretch at the end. Picture perfect stuff!!

You caught more in a day than i do in a year

So perfect...The stream...all of it...good for you Drew...

Awesome. Reminds me of some PA spring creeks I used to fish - but never caught that many 😮. Has me itching to break out the old 7.5 3 wt. Those were some beautiful brownies, Drew. Thanks.

U r amazing. Love your videos. Keep them coming

Drew --Thanks for spending time here in the Driftless and dropping money at Turbo's ... someone mentions a hash brown burger, we know where that is. You may have fished some of my regular haunts. Tight lines!

Great video Drew.

Crazy browns,,dry flie browns so good,,I never hit browns on top,,but that's why I watch the master,to see what it looks like,NICE!!

That was magic! Thanks so much. This small stream was just like some Scottish Border burns but the trout were much bigger.

Thanks Uncle Drew! Living vicariously during the week through your videos…here to be your 2nd set of hands/film crew guys if you need one…always enjoy your natural “song for the ride” videos. Keep up the inspirational videos

That looked like a blast!

It reminds me of the Driftless! Great place to fish!

That take at 13:48... So subtle. Well Done!!

That pool at 14:30 was full of trout. Awesome video

Love your videos, so peaceful the places you visit and fish. I also learn a lot watching your vids. I wonder how you determine if streams are on public land vs private land? I don’t want to trespass.

those are some beautiful browniesa!\

cool dry fly action spring creek style

It's looking like the Wisconsin driftless basin has one of the greatest densities of trout and trout of size, while the Milwaukee harbor has world class trout and a good salmon fishing.

Drew i know where you are. They changed the regs, and yes it used to be catch and release. The DNR rebuilt the stream across the road and its very nice, all public. Next time you come this way, let me know Ill give you some tips on more places to go.

I love the Driftless. I might return someday.

the stream at 7:40 is great water......you hike downstream about 3/4 mile and fish back to the bridge. bug bows and browns there.

They’ve changed a lot of these creeks that used to be CR only to five under 12” because so many have huge populations of 10” fish and they need some harvesting. I wouldn’t walk past water because I didn’t see a fish either, they’re there even if you can’t see them barring a fish kill.

Looks like a great way to start the day. How did you brew the coffee though??

Really enjoy your vids. Great job! Thanks for not adding some audio camouflage in for form of canned elevator music.

Great video. The burger shot after fishing is quite familiar. Thank you.

Love all your videos. Love the Driftless. But how do you avoid the cow parsnip while wet wading?

Beautiful fish in such a small stream... What Sunglasses / Model do you wear?

I’m new to the area, I have a feeling but want to check.. 4x leader with 5x tippet, 6 or 7x for those delicate presentations? Pretty much the way to go for those size streams?

I just started fly fishing and im absolutely hooked, just so much fun and challenging! Do you have any advice on stopping smaller fish from swallowing dry flies, because I dont want to keep the small ones. Thanks for you for your inspiring videos.

The problem that some of our smallest driftless streams have is that they're subject to winter kills and farm runoff that will knock a stream down for a few years. A stream that was great last year may not have any fish the next. Some of my favorite streams aren't what they used to be. The good news is they usually rebound within a couple years or so.

What kind of indicator are you using?

Hey Drew! Was wondering what fly line you have on your superfine. Setting up a creek rod myself right now and looking for ideas. Got my eye on the IMX-pro creek 379 from g Loomis currently.

Do you know anything about WV trout fishing, there is so much to learn and it’s confusing as I’m the only person in my family that fishes let alone fly fishes. Some of these trout are the most gorgeous fish I’ve seen.

Anglers…they are a sponsor of Whisper Flyte…..great coffee

What shoes do you use for wet wading?

What is your nipper lanyard made from? My daughter wants one and I was just going to use paracord or old fly line and braid it.

Bro loves to chit chat lol

jaysus... how many fish can be in one hole?!

You don't rap a hackle around your dry caddis?

What week of the year was this?

Did you not even wet a line in the first two streams?

I’m sure you’ve answered this before but what chest pack are you using bud?

Ever run into an area with all stocked fish and can't get a single one to bite a fly?

Do you actually see the fishes in the water before casting or are you just exploring the spots?

When you say you didn't see any fish did you even wet a line? Not all fish are advertising their location. I fish the Iowa driftless and somedays I only catch a few after a couple hours. Somedays I catch 20.

What is the brand of pants you use again

Where ru drew? You Idaho?

Stressed and over pressured drought fish.

I hunt, and therefore eat....

Don't get more 'Merican than tossing dozens of trout back and chompin away at fast food afterwards. 🎉

I understand your enthusiasum, but please, when you are talking, S-L-O-W....T--H-E....H-E-C-K ....DOWN. It will make watching your videos so much more enjoyable. Thank you for doing what you are doing. Keep it up!

Nope, too much walkin and talkin. Then at 8 minutes you take off driving. Sorry but I don't like the way you blabber so much and don't fish, just my opinion...

Enjoyed watching drew, to me small streams always fish better and hold quality size fish. I have a question, I love fishing what we call Blueline streams, which is mostly what I fish. Those small streams you were fishing, are they considered Blueline streams? Tight lines. 👍
