Wipe off your feet, grab a seat, welcome to the FishHaus!
This is day 2 of my end of summer fishing trip, decided against fishing the Yellowstone River because of time restraints. Looks like I was a few weeks early to the fall trout run but I did manage to hook up on my PB Brown Trout. I'm not really happy with the lack of content in this video and all the failed hookups, but that's what I get for bringing only my 7 wt with a sink tip 5 miles into Yellowstone wilderness.
If you liked the video consider subsc........you know what, this isn't the video you should be subbing for, check out my other stuff first, you should dislike this video in fact.

Love YNP and especially the Madison, Soda Butte and Lamar. I’ve found that a 4 to 5 wt works best with a Floating Line (no sink tip). I’ll use my Orvis Superfine Carbon 8 ft. 4 wt. on Soda Butte and Lamar. And my Winston Boron IIIX 8’6” 4 wt.or my Scott G2 8’9” 5 wt. The Lamar can get windy and the Winston works best in the wind. I’ll use my Orvis Superfine Touch 7’6” 3 wt. on some of the smaller streams like the Gibbon and Galiton. Favorite time to go there is in September and almost always use a hopper with a gold ribbed midge dropper. Nice vid! Always dry fly fishing there for me. Tight lines!

Don’t feel bad. I landed maybe 25% of the hopper bites I had in Yellowstone last September.

@@JP-dz7zu Thanks for the support! It was such a long day and it took me some time to figure out what they would eat. I'm planning on going back up there this Sept. maybe I'll see you up there. Going to the most northern part of Idaho and will fish Yellowstone on the way back, as long as Yellowstone doesn't tighten their fishing regulations even more.

Invest $25 into a net that fits fish worthy of a net ... fished that area a few times and u did well getting those eats.

@@glencamblin Yeah I need to take a bigger net with me when I go to Idaho/Wyoming, trout are built different there.

When did 17-18 inch browns become huge fish? Another googan

@fishhaus2644 2 жыл бұрын

lol, average brown trout in Utah is 7-14". Not everyone lives where trout get massive.

There’s nothing bad about a 17-18” Brown. Most of my favorite days fishing is catching 12” McCloud Rainbows at Crane Creek in MO. And even smaller Brookies in New England. Sometimes just being on the river is enough. At least for me. Been fly fishing for over 50 years now. Still haven’t had a bad day on the river.

@@kgm4368 Absolutely, my favorite spot here in Utah holds 8-12" cutthroats, with an occasional brown, but it's not the size that matters. The spot is secluded, water is calm, only sound is birds and the wind rustling the grass and trees. I'll take a day there over any packed blue ribbon fishery pressured with dozens of other anglers.

It was a big fish for him! My first Big Brown was caught in the Lewis River Oct 1990. It was a fat 18 incher. It was 'huge' to me at the time.

Yeah it's not very classy, but Honda is a solid manufacturer. Formula 1 racing pedigree, highly rated reliability in consumer automobiles, largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, and some damn fine lawn care equipment ;)
