[@WildFlyProductions]

How about those Ona Jams?

[@rickverbonach8619]

I am 54 yrs old i do this same type of fishing in Pennsylvania wilds,, I am very impressed with this vid good job guys,,, i also liked how well you handled the fish as not to harm them

[@mattomite]

Great series fellas, and thanks for the inspiration.

[@reidvonrosenberg3273]

This is a great series, I love it! Backpacking in the woods and camping out under tarps, fly fishing each day in wild streams sounds like so much fun and I am hoping to do it one day. Fishing is only half of it, just being outdoors and enjoying it is just as fun, even if the weather is unpredictable sometimes you have to prepare for the worst. I can't believe it started snowing!!! Can't wait for the 3rd one I don't want this series to end but it'll be a great finish to this adventure.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Reid Vonrosenberg you definitely can’t underestimate Mother Nature. She’ll humble you really quick that’s for sure. But we had a blast just being out there and off the grid for the days even with poor conditions.

[@yakinupfish632]

Went there last year. Camped in the same site. Totally understand fighting the urge to put a line in all the way up! Definitely a place I'll be going again.

[@jeditone]

Great video. I backpack to the same site every year. great fishing! way to go

[@cghowell3]

You boys are so green it’s adorable! Lol. Reminds me of my crew and me back in the day. Keep getting out as much as you can. You’ll be leaving half of that stuff you brought up the trail with you at home eventually. The main thing is y’all went out and made it happen. Good on ya.

[@WildFlyProductions]

yeah we learned real quick what we didn't need to bring for next time haha

[@kevintierney1334]

Videos like this are the best. Authentic and well made. Great video, keep them coming.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks Kevin! We've got some fun things planned for this summer.

[@znovosad555]

Now that seems awesome.

[@FishAholicTV]

Really Awesome Video!!!

[@scotthiggins375]

Great stuff again Scotty! Part 3 should be a great finish. All the Afco gear looks great and Sawyer is the best filtration system by far. Nice to see your work being recognized by sponsors.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Scott Higgins you cant beat the sawyer filters and the aftco rain jackets saved us in that rainstorm😂

[@connerhedrick4353]

Hey a little tip from my own ventures. Toilet paper always seems to get messed up for me and takes up a lot of space. I’d try taking baby wipes next time, it’s a real life saver lol

[@allenc5108]

I second that Baby wipes solve a lot of sanitation concerns. In my back pack hiking, hunting or fishing. No stinky butt.

[@WildBlueDiscovery]

Thanks for this video! Good job pushing through the elements!

[@gscotty311]

Pretty country! Always wanted to make it out to the smokies. Come out to the Rockies and fish. You'd love love it! Keep up the inspiration y'all!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Dude we're trying to man!

[@laughtoohard9655]

I've done this in the backcountry of British Columbia. Big Cutthroats all day long. In the middle of nowhere, salmon eggs!

[@dmitri5744]

LaughTooHard epiccccc!

[@jarettyuknalis301]

Looks like a great trip so far! Can't wait to see part 3

[@WildFlyProductions]

Jarett Yuknalis heck yeah!

[@leeshifflett3116]

[@phillyfrenchy6053]

As good as episode 1. Can't wait for the next episode!

[@gtoutdoorexcursions2938]

Thanks for sharing guys, great vid. Ive had some great adventures out there myself chasing after the wilds and native brook trout. It pretty much rains every day at some point in the Smokies!

[@TheSkyeLife]

Absolutely incredible!

[@lukekirby5317]

Phenomenal work! I am a college student in Idaho and am obsessed with fly fishing. Good to see some videos I can relate to! Your videos are captivating and well put together! Keep up the good work!

[@bobbydixon4484]

I love that saying, "a short couple of hours"

[@WildFlyProductions]

intense right haha

[@williemasonjohnson]

Killin it, we did the same kind of trips in Clarksville, GA during my college days with ultralight rods, Nikons and Hasselblad cameras!

[@BULLMAN84]

Another great episode! Pretty excited to see the next one!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Ronnie B you got it Ronnie!

[@walkerbillings6905]

I’ve been looking forward to this coming out. Loved the first one. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@WildFlyProductions]

GC Fishing 👊🏻

[@thefishinbuds7352]

Another sweet video! Love to see the camaraderie and such awesome storytelling. Well done. I’d love to see more backpacking trips from you guys.

[@WildFlyProductions]

The Fishin' Buds thanks dudes! We’ll definitively be doing more of this in the near future

[@thefishinbuds7352]

WildFlyProductions Love to hear that! Got yourself another subscriber, can’t wait to see what’s in store for the channel.

[@terp53]

Great video 👍🏼. Keep up the good work!!

[@MitchBargo11]

Great video. Spent spring break in Bryson City the past two years to fish.

[@WildFlyProductions]

awesome Mitch! That's a great spot to fish.

[@curtisdanner6765]

Good ole Sugar Fork 👌🏻

[@WildFlyProductions]

Curtis Danner gotta love it

[@BrookieBum]

Great video again guys. Weather is the one thing we can count one not being cooperative..lol. but you pushed through. Good for yall. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@WildFlyProductions]

BrookieBum weather definitely wasn’t on our side but we still made the best of it!

[@BrookieBum]

@@WildFlyProductions that happen to us a few weeks ago. Upper 60's got to where we was fishing it was 32 water was 34..lol. we didn't catch a thing. But we made a video anywas.

[@michaelhicks8237]

Next time get a cart. Been fishing hazel creek for 30 years. Makes it better

[@freshairfishing6892]

Nice vid

[@stickbaitandyellerhammers9329]

Awesome vid! So much great walk in fishing here in NC. I will be hitting up my favorite hike in only stream next week. CAN'T WAIT!!

[@lhigdon15]

Love the video.. quality is unreal! Keep it up!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks Michael! Just wait till you see ep. 3...

[@barettamv]

Only having 6.8k subscribers and publishing content this good is a damn SHAME. People need to find you guys

[@WildFlyProductions]

Mason Alexander really appreciate it Mason! Big things in the works ✊🏻

[@cokleecuz4824]

Nice I always want to hike n fish n camp out new to fly fishing but I'm locked on ahaha StAyd hookd

[@adampablodayc]

Great vid,but that poor knife took a beating,thanks for sharing.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Adam W.N.C.Far Away Forge haha I know, definitely was not the best idea but a little sharpening and she’ll be back to normal

[@tcgoggans]

Yeah, that was so painful. I literally yelled at the screen "NOOOOO! What is he doing, why would you do that?!?!" 😫

[@nantahalawildman6345]

I know you guys were fishing but you probably didn't realize there are abandoned copper mines just up the trail. These are the famed Adams-Westfeldt mines that Horace Kephart stayed.

[@nantahalawildman6345]

Oh, and Hazel Creek is usually cold enough to store something like a ham steak, hotdogs, smoked sausage...precooked stuff.

[@tcgoggans]

Really enjoyable video, with some good film sequences! Good on you for getting out there in cold weather. I gotta ask, though: why were you using green wood and live hemlock branches " needles for your fire?!

[@smr9981]

Awesome video. Really hope to make it to Hazel Creek one day, but getting there is an odyssey in itself. Y’all ever fish Deep Creek near Bryson City? Opportunity for good fish but not nearly as remote as Hazel Creek.

[@WildFlyProductions]

we've been itching to hit deep creek over the years!

[@smr9981]

Lower Deep Creek right as you come into the National Park is known to produce some good sized browns. I’ve caught 14-15” browns in the fall right in the campground. You can hike up above some of the falls and get more into rainbows and eventually brooks at high elevations. Don’t go in the summer though, tubers take it over.

[@rbuenafe100]

Wow, awesome video! Could you please describe the type of fly rods and reels you guys are using in this trip?

[@jackdecker4142]

Cool video series! Really enjoyed it, New subscriber here.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks a ton, happy to hear it!

[@flyrodhiker8326]

I’m absolutely loving this trip! Your videos are awesome, I’m going to be sad to see it end. What kind of net is that green one?

[@WildFlyProductions]

Fly Rod Hiker thank you! We’ll be doing plenty more videos like this soon my friend. The net is one of the Catch Cam Nets

[@hillbillysportsman5818]

Awesome video. Beautiful trout. What kind of flies caught the fish?

[@WildFlyProductions]

Hillbilly Sportsman mainly we fished a dry dropper with euro jig hooked nymphs from Due South.

[@jonfogt5207]

Great video guys. What flys are y'all throwing?

[@WildFlyProductions]

Jon Fogt dry dropper mainly. Used a variety of nymphs but mainly tungsten euro style nymphs

[@mitchweber7171]

What campsite did u guys stay at?

[@allan9692]

Great video! What kind of fly pouch is your buddy using that's dark green and hangs on the hip??

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks Allan! And this is the pack m.orvis.com/product/safe-passage-hip-pack/14ZJ?item_code=14ZJ2100&adv=127748&cm_mmc=plas-_-FlyFishing-_-14ZJ-_-127748&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq_vsofi-4QIVVVuGCh1bOgeHEAQYASABEgIozfD_BwE

[@allan9692]

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm just starting out so these videos are great! Tight lines!

[@josephlaudon]

What length rod were yall using?

[@WildFlyProductions]

we were using rods from a 7 1/2 foot 4 weight to a 9 foot 4 weight

[@tennyson23]

this is why fly fishing is dumb, all that effort flicking and swinging around for a tiny puny little fish a mere mouthful i mean whats the point! dumb if you ask me

[@WildFlyProductions]

You see, people like you that don’t fly fish or haven’t done it just don’t understand. And that’s the beauty in it. Hope you give it a shot one day and can understand where we’re coming from.
