No problem. Thanks

Yes beautiful fish

Yes they are!

Hard to beat. Great scenery and the fish are stunning!

Cool man. Itd be fun to fish over there sometime

Nice. All great baits for browns and brookies

Thanks!

I am no expert on the subject believe me. But a good net really helps

Thanks man!

True that!

Absolutely

Thank you

Was a great morning. Still need to get down that way and go after some kings!

@@CrouseOutdoors plan to get out a couple more times hopefully! Then I’m planning a few trips north to get them vertical jigging!

Thank you

Thank you

Yes it was

Thanks man!

I know! What a great state we have!

Same here!

Agreed. Just watching them swim in the current in their natural environment like that is really cool.

Thank you. She was a beaut

Thanks

Are you in the UP, or Northern LP? Either way, here are the names of river watersheds that I would think of to find browns in upper Michigan: Paint, Fence, Sturgeon, Yellow Dog, Ontonagon, Otter, Rock, Escanaba, Fox, Au Train, Manistique, Pigeon, Black, Betsie, Platte, Jordan, Manistee, Au Sable, Rifle, Big Sable, Muskegon, Pere Marquette, Little Manistee, Little Muskegon, or the good old Rogue. Most tributaries to these rivers should hold browns as well. Hope this helps!

@@aaronhoyes1781 I'm in the UP, the escanaba is where I catch all my brookies. Love that river. I'll have to try some of those, thanks!

Get any rain yet?

@@CrouseOutdoors not yet but it’s meant to be this week the water in my local river is far too low and it has been hotter than usual so I don’t want to harm any fish 🤷🏼‍♂️👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks give it a try sometime

Good!

Have you watched my video on how to select a river?

There are several great rivers on your side of the state including the Manistee and the Pere Marquette. Employ these techniques and tactics There and you will achieve success. Anywhere in the big wash pool below the dam and Anywhere in between. Tight lines!

The DNR website has stocking reports that show the history of fish stocked in each body of water , it's a good starting point . Don't overlook small streams . Find a guy that will take u under his wing

Do it! Heading to the UP today as a matter of fact!

@@CrouseOutdoors what river is this at.

@@iancameron198 🤐

Yeah they do cause some carnage

@@CrouseOutdoors crimping barbs and even going to single hooks will help lessen mortality rates of the big dudes!

Good luck!

If it is a designated trout stream once you have an access point you can fish as far up or down from that point as you want. You just have to stay within the banks of the river. You need an access point though. That could be public land or you could ask permission from land owners to access the water. That's the best way I can explain it. It is a confusing topic with a lot of grey areas. I need to make a video explaining it to the best of my understanding sometime.

@@CrouseOutdoors Thanks for the info and Yes Please make a video on it it would be of Great help. I know say Texas and a few other States if it is Navigable Water you can fish it as long as you are in the High Water Marks or River Bank.

I jus go ask them and offer em a few fish or 20$$$

Where in Michigan is this.

That was a rapala cd 7

I run about the last 150 feet of floro. I have behind behind it

Any luck?

had good luck with panther martin #4s and blue fox #3

Yes they do

Lots of guides for spin fishing. Check out dream drift guide service

@@CrouseOutdoors I appreciate the feed back I will check them ouy

Lol I am a taxidermist

So I actually put it up to my rod to get an idea. It was 22.5" roughly. Typically I carry a bump board and 2 tapes.

😂😂😂😂

This stream is in the lower peninsula. That's about as specific as I'll be online

I agree 100%

I never say. Don't want to put extra fishing pressure on these small creeks

@@CrouseOutdoors Makes sense ! I'm in Grandrapids currently but am missing the small creeks I'm the U.P. pretty bad. Those where some Beasty Browns man... lol

I’m looking for the same tips lol

🤐

Couldn't agree more. That's why I baught another camera. Check out my last video.

Nah The fly is deadlier than any known method if it is the hands of a fly fishing expert. What do you think if a fisher said he could catch salmon and sea tout with a completely bare hook...... Not silver either and it matters not about the colour so long as the hook behaves to give the predator 'the illusion of life' and also if the 'lure' (bare hook ) is seen by the fish as if escaping. The fisher must have had the experience of getting the fish to take a bare hook from his /her individual experience...... Once the knack is mastered ,never forgotten.

Thanks sir. I have not flyfished. Just haven't had time to try it yet

Cool story

@@CrouseOutdoors Dude, your releases are clean, and you don't over-play them. Chuck all that noise from Bryan. Can't wait for some new trout videos. I'm sure this year is going to be interesting with the weird winter we had here in Michigan.

His methods are perfectly legal and (aside from all the treble hooks that really could be replaced with singles to reduce damage to the fish) his handling and releases of his fish are cleaner than those of many a fly fisherman I've seen (and I say that as a 25+ year Michigan fly fisher myself). Secondly, any fly fisherman that gets a brown like the ones in this video on a #16 fly needs to be buying a lottery ticket because he's having the luckiest day of his life. You might be able to pull that trick once a year during a blizzard mayfly hatch, but those browns will eat those plugs every day of the week and twice on Sunday. 🙂
