First thanks for watching. On this day we used a variety of nymphs and egg patterns. The peach colored egg and prince nymph were the two most successful flies for me on this day. I also caught a few fish on the “twenty incher” which is a tungsten bead head stone fly pattern.

Private water ?

It’s the Nacoochee Bend section of the Chattahooche River managed by Unicoi Outfitters. It’s been a minute but I think the phone number is at the end of the video.

Heres an idea. If you treat the small ones with the care you give the large fish when returning them back to the water the small ones may have a chance to grow big. I know its complicated.

TJH thanks for your viewer hours. We appreciate it. I put some thought into this comment because when you make public content you always have some of these comments that don’t really have context. In this video we are fishing a piece of private water that is stocked with several thousand fish a year and fed a supplement diet to grow large. They get fished over almost every day. The smaller fish in this video are state stocked fish that washed down into this area. That means they got thrown from a bridge at least once in their lives. We did not treat them badly in the video. With that said large fish are older and require a little more care to get moving again sometimes. Even though on this video the water was in the 40’s and all the fish swam off great. But if we are honest as catch and release fisherman, it’s not a innocent beautiful thing for the fish. Regardless of how careful you are some fish die. I netted thousands per year for several decades. Some get dropped on rocks. Some get hooks in the brain, throat, gills. Some exhaust and don’t recover. I have seen them jump and land on rocks and die instantly. It’s part of it. So to summarize, making mean snippy comments on a 10 month old video adds nothing to the sport and only discourages new anglers and others from sharing their adventures. I won’t lose sleep over it but it adds little value to the world of trout fishing. Have a great day and watch some more BLO videos.
