I especially like how u set that big brown on dry grass most def killing it later.. way to go CHUD tf.. dnt name these small spots.. ur clearly not local.. also wheres ur fly rod

Hey! I haven't seen any of your videos lately. Hmm... OK, I subscribed. It's always nice being in da U.P., eh? Ever thought about tossing a crawler? There's no shame in that. Especially in these little streams. Thanks for posting. sw

I think I saw some Cutthroat trout on that riffle !!

Beautiful scenery

Beautiful stream!

Nice fishing

Im always watching ur videos that maybe ann is there😅i miss her so much..

Hi dan,this is lorna childhood bestfriend of ann,say hello to her😊

What access was this section in?

Grandee?

Thanks for a great update and enjoyed the drone segments. Saw some familiar stream sections and looking forward to revisiting the Conejos during the summer of '24.

That’s a cut bow not a rio cutt, for sure has a lot of cutthroat in his genes

Headed there next week! Cant wait. Great video! Subbed. 👍

Lighter line smaller than 6lbs is not good at all for me lost to much fish with less. Learn my lesson and ben fishing for 30 years. Because of a branch or big rock the fish can go to and hide and brake the line. Not much open water much. I've had a fish brake it in the water current alone snap it but less with 6 lbs line.

Thank you great idea on this.

I want a new one two piece like my old ones. I want to see if they can be better than the old school one's. I will order one. Thank you for the video.

You stated fly fishing on a spinning rods what year was that. Because my granddaughter told me about it and ben using one from the late 80's it has no name on it no more. I can put both reels on it and the spinning reel goes on it with rings. I'm in New Mexico. I still use it to this day. So nice to use one rod for everything.

Fish the Alabama rig with 6 flys to 10 fly's best for me. Your saying the spoons don't spin 🤔 I'm a big Red Devil spinner guy still. But getting into fox spinner for both in one. Nice or put a different fly sometimes on it.

This place was untouched 20 years ago when I started going. Sad.

2:43 That's seems to be the standard in the U.P. I've sure seen it enough.

Nicely done!

Enjoyed your video as always. Great to see the comments on, I'm always bummed when they are off. You are a great ambassador for the sport, hate seeing you catch flack for promoting it. TIGHT LINES ALL

I think those 2 fans went to Poudre High School! Fort Collins

Thanks again for these! I always enjoy the great camera work, information and comedy!

Yep, those two guys are the best. That's all they could talk about after meeting Dan. "Dan Coppersmith! We met Dan Coppersmith! How awesome was THAT!"

Great video, as always. I'm envious of all the natural beauty you experience. You're famous in my eyes!

That is really cool they recognized you. Seemed like nice guys.

Love your videos!

Streams like this I usually skip because they are way too shallow and clear to catch browns consistently. If you can see the bottom, the fish has already seen you. Very rarely do you have the advantage, they even get spooked from casting with dry fly line. During the summertime when the rivers lower slightly and vegetation increases, it's almost impossible. I would highly recommend checking out other streams that have deeper pools and bigger runs. They will hold bigger browns, nice rainbows, and even a few brookies. Some of my favorite streams in the driftless have pools over 5ft deep - great for mousing in July and August at night!

Upper Gooseberry is pretty good! Got a few 12-16in brookies up there - lots of great sections for em and deep pools

Outstanding video! Great ideas, logic and scientific approach. What leader did you use for the dry flies? Mono or fluoro? Thank you!

Beautiful nature and landscape! Awesome video! Thank you for sharing! I was hooked on your video - how to fish flies with the spinning rod, floating crankbaits etc. and was laughing seeing you giving up and switching to the fly fishing gear! 🙂 Good luck and God bless you! It would be awesome if you would share the list of the equipment you are using under every video, I suppose that would be of a great value for the viewers and followers! Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant video! Your thinking logics and out of the frame is just inspiring! Thank you and God bless you!

Man, I absolutely enjoyed your experienced and thoughtful approach! Thank you very much! Subbed and belled!

Can the music

I've fished it many times and have always been driven off by heavy monsoon rain. Hell with getting struck by lightning, I was more afraid of a flash flood up in the canyon! Great fishing, though.

Thanks for ideas I haven't seen

Did you carry a real compass too? Could you realistically have left a trail markings path? Something to guide you out again!

I tried this place before and the water levels were too low. Will be trying again. What month did you film this?

It is a spawning stream for larger fish from the north branch of the oconto.

Affectionately known to Antigo natives as Shit Crick!!!

Yeah I’m surprised it’s that navigable me and my brother went fishing the pine creek and got lost we hiked 20 miles through brush and sticks and trees and everything inbetween before we saw a road

I don't think a lot of people understand that you should be concealed as much as possible when fishing for trout in smaller streams. I find that I caught a lot more when I'm hiding or blending in.

I fished the stutts probably 20 years ago. It was the best Brookie fishing I’ve ever experienced.

Hi sir. Im thinking about this today. Thx. We have few offers of fly f rods in Brazil and are so expensive and poor warranty. I will try to use carbon spining rods with fly line and reels. Do you have a idea to 8wt number? I will try saltwater.

That is cool that you found a place remote enough (by the Cow Creek trailhead) where you were able to have success with spinners. But I take it that you would recommend fly fishing almost everywhere else in that general area? Like in most of the snake river watershed?

This place is no joke. There are secrets to navigating it from the old natives. I've been deep in Delirium. The mosquitoes will eat you alive.

Your voice sounds exactly like PBS's Rick Steves. If you have not heard him, look him up
