Thanks for watching! Yes, we try our best to keep the fish in water and ready for the release!

Thanks for watching and tight lines!

Thanks for your comment. Hat Creek has always been a popular spot, with or without my videos. Try telling some of the guides to take their clients elsewhere, it's a tough creek to catch trout anyway!🤣

Hat creek power house 2 is world famous dude has been forever. I have multiple books that tell you exactly how to get there where to park and what rigs work best. Her video is just fine, and I enjoyed watching it.

I had I guide get pissed at me for showing up in the parking lot last weekend 😂. Like dude it's hatcreek ph#2 it's a popular spot. I don't mind you or your clients out there, you shouldn't mind me either.

@@thedanceingbear Thanks for your support!🙂

Thanks Dave! 🙂

Thanks for watching Paul!

You made such a beautiful for me Matt, well worth the wait! 😆 Works great, love the sleek handle fits me hands perfectly. Thank you!

Yes, Uros is a fantastic guide! Bistra is a nice river with good fish. Fishing Slovenia with Uros again later this year, can't wait!

Thanks for watching Lyman! Yes, Tenkara fishing is effective in the fast water, or uro nymphing will be also an excellent option.

Thanks for watching Dave!

I do use barbless hooks, thank you! Did you not see one just got off by itself?

I don't. I flyfish to eat and put food on the table. Plus, barbed hooks increases the land rate. Only time I don't pinch my barbs is when it's required.

Thanks for watching Henry! Hat Creek is tough, fun that morning and the next day no activty.🤣Winter fishing is not that great at Hat Creek, only for the die hards.😆

Oh? I thought you were. I stand corrected.

@@dmosull1 no worries i used to be and might be again

Thanks for watching Dave! Baum Lake is good in winter, lots of browns if you hit it right. Weekends there are very busy, so go weekdays if you can. Tight lines!

@@dmosull1 Yes if I go it will be a weekday for sure.

Yes, it is good fishing in winter. Thanks for watching!

Yes, my version of it worked well too!

After the dead drift initially, I let it swing with small short strips. That's when the trout would grab the dropper, very effective! Thanks for watching and tight lines.

Thanks for the advice Bill! However, it's not always possible to get the line back on the reel to fight the fish, I have lost fish trying to do that and I just strip the line, if it's not a really big fish. The LTS Finesse 4wt rod makes fighting those smaller rainbows a lot of fun, although it has handled 20+in fish really well too. Hat Creek is definitely tough at times. Thanks for watching my video and tight lines!

Thanks for watching! :-)

Dunajec is a fantastc river, some big fish there! Thanks for watching and tight lines in 2024!

Hi Reid, there are not many spots to fish from the shore. You can fish at the riffle that comes into Baum Lake from Crystal Lake, or right off the car park where you see me in the video. You need to be careful of the mud when wading there! Best way is to have a float tube or water craft, you will have access to way more areas for fishing. Good luck and tight lines! Week days are better for less pressure.

Thanks for watching Paul!

Thank you and thanks for watching the video!

It is the upper section of the Soca River not long after the descent from the mountain. If you are thinking about fishing there, you can contact my guide Uros Kristan.

Glad you hooked a big one, they're in there! I fished below the bridge and didn't go any further since it was getting late. Not sure I know where the intersection is?

Thanks for watching John! Uros is a fantastic guide and really nice guy, I really enjoyed Slovenian rivers with Uros.

Yes, thank you!

Thanks for watching and tight lines!

Thanks for watching! Actually I do tie my own flies and used a few there, got some takes on them. However, the guide has the local flies that are tried and true, so we used his flies mostly. As for netting myself, I have on another river. Why not use the guide and his expert knowledge on flies when he is helping me? That's what we pay them for! :-)

I don't know, that's what the guide said. Could be stocked...but there are some huge rainbows in that river!

It’s not stocked it’s all wild

Uros is absolutely amazing as my guide, I would recommend to anyone who wants to fish in Slovenia! He can spot every fish in the river!

@@dmosull1 👍

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed the video! One needs to take time to enjoy and fish the Dunajec! There are huge fish there, of course some luck and hard work is needed :-) Tight lines!

Which part of the dunajec is this I'm planning on going In September

Thanks! Glad you liked it, I certainly learned a lot from Uros about the karst system there.

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for watching!

Thank you and thanks for watch!

Thanks for watching the videos! Good luck and tight lines up there.

I live in the Bay Area, long drive to Hat Creek about 4.5 hours!

@@dmosull1 Oh my goodness. I had it in my head that you lived in Burney or Cassel based on how comfortable you are on that water. I have gone from impressed to blown away. If/hopefully when, I catch and quickly release a fish next week I will think of you folks and say..."thank you."

@@daveschlom4033 I have fished Hat Creek a long time, allbeit driving a long way! Have contemplated about buying a home there, but still undecided, considering climate change and wildfire risk!

@@daveschlom4033 Best of luck and hope you get some nice trout on Hat!

@@dmosull1 Those are considerations for sure. But if anyone is meant to live there...

Dave, the flow have been high throughout the day recently. If the flow is low then fishing will be better. When flow is high, better to try Baum Lake or Cassel. Good luck and tight lines!

Thank you. I have always fished upper Hat and always been intimidated about the Wild Trout section. But I feel like I know enough now to fish it. Might not catch anything but I want to at least wet a line there. I have a deep love for the history there from 1915 on.

If you ever drive through Lassen Volcanic National Park I hope you check out the audio road guide. If I see you and your red fly rod I will venture a greeting. So glad you fish there regularly. Nice to know that nice anglers are on that great stretch of water!

@@daveschlom4033 Thanks so much! I have fished Lake Manzanita some years ago, hopefully that is still good! I probably be back at Hat Creek early August or the fall. Look forward to meeting you sometime on the river!

Thanks so much for watching Dave! The red rod is the LTS Complete Graphene 9ft 5wt, it is our latest and greatest fly rod series. Very light weight and easy to cast! Actually this is the 1st time I fished it and it felt great.

Thank you Dave, Hat Creek is special indeed in my heart!

@@dmosull1 It definitely shows in these videos.

Thank you very much!

Thanks Matt, eager little brown 🙂

Glad you enjoy them and tight lines!

Thanks Matt! It's been fun to fish with you too, and learn from your !

Yes, was guided by Alysia Littleleaf. Biggest steelhead I ever hooked, so exciting just to play that monster for a few minutes! Next times.....
