I like this channel because, unlike the glam chans with their guides and elite waters -- you take us to places I can visualize myself fishing. It's a channel for the 90 whatever percent. As is @EricLeslie. Feels like watching friends fish. Very inclusive and relatable.

I like the narration interspersed with fishing action. You and I have a lot of similar reactions. You are good natured when you loose fish and I tip my hat to them as well. They won that round. Also I get cold (I never used to) but when I catch a nice fish suddenly my feet and hands are warm as can be. I think it's the same elevated heart rate you mention. Sometimes I get enough adrenaline I actually shake a bit for a while after dealing with a big fish. Great video.

Far from “best kept secret”, I don’t even fly fish and haven’t been to this creek to fish and know what it is. If you’re in eastern wa there’s plenty of small creeks, irrigation drainages, and wasteways that hold large trout if they actually try fishing them.
