I live in Seattle and finding streams like.this shouldn't be too hard at all around the cascades... It can be hard to know where to start besides the web. I google map the rivers and look for tributaries, then research those. I end up fishing major spots instead. Btw, that was insane from the fact that big of a slab was just mellowing in such shallow water, landed it on 3w glass, and almost took him down fighting. Epic catch.
@scottiemcpherson3466 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment Luke; It is all about That Thin Blue Line. Heading out and exploring. What you didn’t see in that video was the massive Log Jam just up stream that if the fish went upstream; it would have been a whole different story. Many hours bashing through Scruby bush and steep valleys along with ant, spider and leech bites. Rewards like this brute of a fish are the rewards 😊👍

We call it “The Nunya” I don’t give out the names of small waters. I used to but found that there are a few unscrupulous people out there that follow these posts and then head to these waters and show little if any respect by killing fish and leaving rubbish. Just get out and explore. The techniques used in this video are the same you can use on almost every water. Good luck and tight lines. 👍
