[@anthonysmart6181]

Creeks & river

[@kevinoshea4980]

I like both but I love running up and down rivers for trout or steelies.

[@chrisraybruce7185]

Lakes are fun but there's nothing like finding wild trout in rivers and creeks.

[@evanelev3n257]

I like lakes better

[@philhildebrand9266]

Love walking small creeks for trout. Dmallest spinner in silver and gold i can find, and a pack of power worms for the ones the take bait...always fun.

[@Sad7Statue]

I love fishing little rivers like with this with just a hook and worm. Even without a sinker, just drop it in and let it drift naturally with the current.

[@dankcoyote]

A lot of places like this don't allow live bait. I always check exceptions for each water body here in Oregon because odds are that live bait isn't allowed.

[@Sad7Statue]

@@dankcoyote Yeah fair, always good to check before. We have plenty of rivers around here that are fly fishing only for example.

[@JhaeMo777]

I love creeks, streams ,and rivers, the sound of the water, being out in the woods.....love it

[@reelphatties6426]

I love the panther marton spinners for fishing trout in rivers

[@neonblack6]

Been putting your teqniques to the test, caught 10 trout last weekend, one of the best trips I've ever had!

[@jenniferfielding4656]

I'm just learning to fish and your videos have been a wonderful help! Thank you!

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Good info, but I think the most important thing I learned is that I must be a trophy trout, cuz I like to find a comfy chair and stay in my feeding lane, some times for days

[@tonysmallen]

Just went on a trip up the Lochsa River in Idaho for a few days to do just this thing. I was able to outsmart a few fish with a 6'6" Ugly Stik and a handful of Panther Martin spinners. I love fishing small creeks like this because I feel a close connection to the fish I'm chasing. Love the trout tutorials by the way guys, keep up the good work!

[@badprogramming2486]

I just got myself a tarpon 120, and I've been fishing for a month...i love the Nehalem, and all it's little tributaries, for trout. I've only landed three keepers, so far; but I've got some Perch, and lots of bullheads. This channel has made the learning curve much less steep. Thanks guys, please keep making great content.

[@5966975]

streams and rivers for trout is my fav

[@jimgallagher5785]

I can't get into the river anymore, due to balance issues, so using spincast equipment allows me to still fish and keep up with my younger brother who still fly fishes. I'm so glad I tuned into you! Thanks

[@lordspride3927]

Dang I looked up how to fish in Creeks and streams and I really enjoyed this! I learned alot from this vid. I've been using worms and eggs for the streams and it's been working.

[@yabaodorigo2337]

Super helpful! There is this small creek near my house and I’ve never known how to fish it, thanks for the great tutorials! You’re the best fishing channel on KZbin

[@forrestwhiteman9400]

Love fishing small rivers and creeks with a nymph and indicator

[@justincristallo2081]

One of the most effective things I’ve learned is drifting and twitching a small unweighted plastic swimbait. The 3” rage swimmer seems to work the best for me. It’s a very versatile way to catch fish.

[@Robert1337_]

the unweighted might be key

[@Pnw-outdoor]

It was nice meeting Jordan, marlin and Cameron at the sportco in fife. And the Movie was sick can’t wait to watch it again.

[@Bocker67]

Real good tutorial Jordan,I like using 1/8 oz jigs tied to mimic different bugs in smaller creeks.But mostly use my 2 wt flyrod and beadheaded nymphs.

[@360fishingadventures8]

Creeks and rivers hands down. Favorite spinner is a panther martin.

[@twohandsprobaseballsoftbal1976]

So awesome brother, just moved back to Oregon from LA, all I want is to be on the river and show all my baseball and softball teams how fun it is to be outdoors fishing. Thanks guys I’ve learned a lot from you Jordan and Nick. My name is D.J.

[@jbellamy33]

Thanks again Jordan you really are "Trout Man"! Your tutorials are the best man. I picked up the fly rod again and carry the extra spinner pole with me as I work my way down stream

[@curtisballer688]

I’m a fly fisher and this was a great vid!! Topic/talk thoroughly done! When I was a spin caster blue fox/panther Martin for these little streams. I like the knowledge of how to pick the streams apart as well the stealth like topic. Keep these kinds of vids coming dudes!! Not always the catching as it is being out there enjoying!

[@j.d.bushard1321]

Jordan, you're the man brother- keep doing what you're doing. This video is just what I was looking for.

[@darrendrake3222]

Small creek and river fishing for trout is my favorite. Its the perfect activity for hot summer days. Its all about small panther martins or little cleos. Funking love it. I go to the head waters of one of the rivers in my area every Sunday and catch tons of cutties

[@saxtron3000]

Really love these videos. This is the exact type of fishing I've started to practise during camping trips up here in Québec. Super useful videos and I really learning a lot. Thanks and keep 'em coming!

[@nate5799]

Tiny soft bead and a chunk of crawler is my go to in creeks.👍

[@BeeChan_]

You guys should be over 100K subs by now! Keep the videos coming! Always learning something new from you guys, I love creek fishing.

[@alexn8795]

I have learned a lot from this channel so thankyou. I caught my first trout on a spoon in my whole life two weeks ago thanks to this channel. My preferred method for small rivers and creeks is Tenkara. I either use a dark Kebari or a elk hair caddis. I have had people laugh at my setup then watch me catch a fish 5 min later. What I like about it is the minimalism. I got tired of hauling all the tackle to the backcountry spots i like to go to. I can fit all of my kit in my pocket and the rod telescoped down to about 12 inches. Obviously I don't use this setup on larger rivers but I have been researching getting a larger tenkara rod that is designed for large rivers, it is done in japan.

[@brodyw.1307]

Thank you guys so much for this video. I live in Portland and these tutorials reignited my love for fishing. I mostly enjoy fishing in lakes because I have a hard time navigating Rivers without getting snagged, but I took notes and am excited to try them again.

[@travisrichardson8016]

I’m also in Portland and after buying a kayak these guys have really hooked me back into fishing. It’s all I want to do on the weekends anymore.

[@d.wilson1402]

Jordan another great video man! I dig that you are doing trout videos. It makes this channel way more versatile. Keep it up!

[@michaelkolanda9093]

Creeks and rivers are by far my favorite and it's always more of a thrill for me to catch them on a 4 or 5wt fly rod with one of my hand furled leaders tipped with about 3-4feet of 4lb mono and a 2 fly setup with my hand tied caddis or mayfly dries and a small hand tied nymph.

[@imagingconcepts]

Each present their own challenges and really it’s the challenge that I enjoy most, but if I had to make a choice it would be creeks and rivers.

[@team1ton]

I'm super new to trout fishing and found these tips very informative! Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to get back out and try these tips out..

[@Iwasthinking01]

Love your straight forward explanations. So much info I had to pause to take it all in. You can't catch fish every time, but I'm going to try it this weekend. Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@saltyjoesfishing460]

I love your tutorial videos, thank you so much for the info! I'm in south central Oregon. I usually fish for trout on the local fork river or the feeder rivers for local lakes. Minnow imitation crankbaits and giant nightcrawlers seem to be the ticket for big trout in my area. 2 to 3 lbs rainbows most days if you know what you are doing👍

[@brettd530]

Good video. A lot of good info. I've caught more trout with my panther martins than any other lure, definitely my go to. I prefer creeks, rivers with beaver ponds 👌

[@Stittsy1963]

Very informative! Thanks for showing us how to use more than just power bait to fish for trout! :)

[@thundarpheeshy]

I love it when Jordan takes me by the hand

[@michaelcoleman4700]

My all time favorite small river/creek spinner is the 2nd smallest gold/black panther martin

[@davidworthen6104]

I like using a Mepps Anglia spinner, for me it is the most productive spinner on the market. Brass works best for me. I also like using a fly with a single split-shot, the smaller the better about two feet above the fly. Doesn't matter if the fly is a wet or dry. Nothing better than mountain creeks, away from crowds , the fish are aggressive and fight like crazy. Good video.

[@rawr6306]

David Worthen Awesome. Another Mepps Agila fan! I use both brass and silver and tend to use #1s. Always carry 0-3 however in both colors and a few skirted. I’ve nailed decent size rainbow in fast tumbles using size 0s simply because it’s so much lighter I can cast upstream and let it stay above the rocks whereas a 2 would ride too deep and snag. I also like to use single hook models of these which are hard to find sometimes so I’ll just buy extras and switch hooks. Sure you’ll miss/lose a few fish but in the catch and release areas it’s so much easier and quicker to get them off the hook. Even trickier are the barbless hook regulation areas.

[@The66Leadfoot]

Never fished for trout before, but now live in the heart of midwest Ontario where I'm surrounded by trout rivers, and really appreciate your videos. You're teaching this old dog a bunch of new tricks.

[@jerry13626]

I love fishing creeks but I usually use mini jigs. Those usually work really well for me. I would love to see you guys do a video on those.

[@acon2834]

Mostly a bass guy, want to expand into trout, these vids are awesome! I have a creek near me looks just like this, cant wait to get out.

[@PeterNordBushcraft]

Great pole, reel line tips thanks for that and the inspiration to go fishing!

[@kiwi_comanche]

This is easily one of the very best channels on YT. Superb content as per usual.

[@shyloholden2137]

Thank you for the video. I am a beginner fisher and I am trying to catch trout in the Gunnison river in Colorado. I always learn something when I watch one of your videos so thank you.

[@shanedogaviation]

Great videos. Just getting into fishing and the videos are definitely giving me a lot of information. Thanks

[@davidbriggs8733]

I’m so glad to have found this channel. It’s helped my wife, 8 yr old son, and I get on way more trout this summer! We just had a killer weekend on bows, cutthroat, & brooks. I like a Joe’s fly as well in this type of water bc they maintain action at almost any speed.

[@troutwardbound]

outsideliesmagic need to change your lure for something more flashy?

[@MrMilk5hake]

Great info, can't wait to get back out on the water next weekend and try these techniques out.

[@MigelDelgado]

Living in Boise I have found that wading in the water upstream a good distance and working the water column proves best. Mixed with some overhanging branches adds to some interesting catches. I have more success with spoons thanks to the mentorship of my buddy.

[@Carolinafishingtales]

I enjoy fishing streams and lakes fir trout. Thanks for the tips.

[@collinmc90]

I'm dying to get out. finally got all my work wrapped up for now and off to go adventure and fish for a couple weeks. Thanks for making these videos they are really helping me refresh on technique and gear.

[@brycemorgan2381]

I've applied steelhead fishing to my trout fishing and have done really good. Also this video is awsome great Info and demonstration you guys out on. Additive videos about even more addictive fishing!!!!!! I really want to come up their and try out steelhead fishing someday I've never caught one or even hooked one. Just little river trout in creeks where I live.

[@charlessciascia8755]

This was the best info I have seen. Lots of good stuff. Thanks

[@ericdowney6374]

Great vid Jordan! Slinging iron is always fun. I also like drifting a single egg or bead and a tiny split shot a few feet behind a corky, thingamabobber or other strike indicator.

[@thomasflickinger1949]

Good video on spinner fishing streams. Love fishing spinners.

[@randysteele6741]

Kudos for a great video and concept. So many trout fishing videos are simply a couple of yokels casting somewhere with no explanation of where or how, what they use and why, etc. Your video is interesting and informative. I fish the small streams of the beautiful driftless area of far northeast Iowa using my own style of homemade, in-line spinner. I catch a lot of fish and have a ball. Your knowledge of small stream fishing is spot-on. Keep up the good work!

[@joet81]

My absolute favourite type of fishing! I also have great success with a #3 or #5 brown trout pattern Rapala countdown. I almost always start with one! Great videos guys!

[@kilig9767]

I'm glad you posted even though you didn't catch seems like most of these fishing vlogs always have to have a catch

[@jeremysims4838]

@@teba5113 thanks man I really appreciate that

[@jamiea291]

im fairly new to creek and river fishing for trout and would like to know more about how i should be fishing stocked trout vs wild. im north west of philly and have some creeks that are loaded with stocked trout but im having difficulty catching. i have a light rod setup, use fluorocarbon leaders ad spinners that are 1/16 - 1/8. ive tried all colors but dont know what im doing wrong.

[@frenchyangler935]

Jordan you’ve helped me out a lot learning how to fly fish! Thank you for the tutorials! Just wondering if have you guys ever fished in Alberta Canada?

[@rippatrick1]

great video and info. appreciate the assistance - going to try some of these variations now.

[@mikebenavides7708]

"Catch a few more" must have missed that part of the vid. J/K. great video keep it up!

[@BigJimsFloorsIncBlueRidge]

Being in the mountains of north GA, se TN, sw NC; really enjoyed the video. Would like to see more actual fish caught. Keep up the great work!

[@Richard4Torah]

Thanks for the instructions in basic language, fishing the current river just down from Monatuck state park mo

[@crocholiday]

Great video. I may have to try the braided line. Mystery solved as to what my problem with crazy reel knots using light spinners might be. Being in the PNW, there's no shortage of streams to check out.

[@jfowler7604]

That stream is much like the ones I fish in the Sierras. That is by far my favorite type of fishing. I'll fish lakes sometimes but usually, it'll be just about like that one. I'm also a spinner guy and will usually start with a #4 PM in black/gold which it looks like what you were using. I have others of course but that's my usual go to at least for starters. This year, I am experimenting with dressed PM lures, but it's too soon to make judgements. Too much late snow and the streams are still very high and cold. Going to go downhill about 1000' in elevation this afternoon to see what happens.

[@greglucero8714]

Worm under a bobber, or panther Martin is my favorite way Or Sandshrimp.

[@bangsdagong]

this guy knows his stuff! i moved on looong ago to flyfishing....but this takes me back and i caught HUGE trout on pink roostertails, spoons, and my favorite...panther martins!! this dude knows his stuff! even the clothing. i would sometime crawl on my belly to get to casting position on small creeks! biiig fish followed!!

[@assaultprepper9263]

Really appreciate all your how to videos. Helps me get back into fishing (at 58 years old), while learning new things and re-learning tricks and techniques I never knew. Thanks so much.

[@jdisdetermined]

Your name is awesome, very clever. 👍

[@mindipelletier8634]

I fish a lot spots like that in Oregon. When you can use fresh bait, I love just a big worm and drop it into those holes. Most creeks don't allow fresh bait though. So, the little spinners are the best.

[@murdamoe6876]

hey Jordan. These videos are awesome. Great info. Im from walla walla but in Twin falls id now. there are some great areas here to fish. Ive been watching your setups and what to use. Im a beginner but very excited to go out and use you techniques. I appreciate the time you spend and how you make things make sense. ill be out catching me some dinner as soon as i can get some gear together. Thank you again and happy fishing.

[@kurtkarj]

Just found you guys. This is great. Love trout fishing and you have some great ideas.

[@waldemarrozalski2040]

I def love drifting mice tails or trout magnets on small streams

[@gregoryk.tanaka4285]

Wonderfully detail in how to understand and then address the terrain in the water.

[@mudpuddle8333]

I'm going to put you to the test... Im 54, grew up fishing salt water in Long Island Sound... but I have never caught a trout. I've subscribed to your channel, and Im going to start watching your videos... and then Im going to try to use what I've learned to catch one... Then.. I will report back.

[@Caesar185]

I'm interested to know how you do too..good luck buddy, hope you catch a mess of them! Best of luck from South Carolina, let the rest of us know how you do!

[@randyeggleston7138]

Most of our creeks are off limits but the ones that are stocked during the summer we use anything from a single egg to a panther martin. Keep up the good work.

[@brycecollins7695]

I use different patterned tassie/Tasmanian devils and they work a treat

[@Godlobber]

For the PNW where the trout aren't usually so picky I like a 0 - 2 wt fly rod and a size 12 or so stimulator. I fish it upstream from me to keep the drag off of the fly.

[@stevetilk4926]

I just discovered your channel and I’m glad I did. You share great information and I appreciate your content. Thanks and tight lines.

[@jasonturgeon195]

My preference for streams like that is a 6'6" - 7' 3w fly rod w/a royal coachman (me being in the northeast). Or something that's hatching.

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

Love small streams, and creeks.... its relaxing, a break from the the hard core terminal gear for the big boys, get away from people.... ultra light, 6lb test... 0 mepps , gold or silver.. 1/8 ounce... YES! the Thomas lure! 0 mepps,,for the real shallow stuff, Thomas to wobble down in into the deeper stuff, and more current....🎣

[@jeraanderson8173]

One of my favorite types of fishing is just like this vid in the Doe River in eastern TN. Small spinners are deadly rigged as Jordan shows here. Alternatively, fishing a 4" watermelon/red lizard rigged Carolina style will work for both trout and small bass in the much deeper runs.

[@bobbycolemire2500]

Thanks for the tip! Carolina rig was just what I was wondering about

[@jacobhernandez633]

I love fishing trout in all the rivers around Western Washington.. Blue fox vibrax spinners, Panther Martin's & rooster tails always work really well for me, sometimes I will even throw a small piece of night crawler on the hook end of the spinner & slay the fish 👍🏼

[@ih8usernames85]

I actually like drifting a fly with a small spitshot. Caught some nice trout and a 15lb steelhead in Molalla River doing that.

[@justin3594]

I’m glad that you don’t just handpick shots where you’re catching fish making it look so easy. I love that you’re out there and sometimes aren’t getting anything.

[@AddictedFishing]

We like to keep it reel!

[@Tsaustin1]

as a lifetime bass fisherman that is trying to get into trout, I find your videos very informative. I learn a lot from your stuff-thanks!

[@learningtofish7036]

Lots of bass knowledge crosses over. Drop shot with a 2.8 kietech easy shiner is a bass technique crossover.

[@learningtofish7036]

I really like your topic. Water clarity, temp, light all effect bait presentation almost identically. Trout fight differently, usually in more open water where bass run for the bottom or cover. Bass are different as they are a bit more organized coralling bait fish at certain times.

[@edskinner845]

Love using a flout with a worm on the end. The trout love it

[@thelandlord111]

Yep. Drop it in the rapids and let the current do the rest.

[@dericmorris2585]

Used to live within a half mile from a good trout stream and really got into the creek fishing on that. Personal opinion but nothing beats a hook n crawler, that being said I started building my own spinners about 3 years ago and rarely do I use crawlers anymore. 1/8oz down to 1/16oz frenchies or inlines on 4-6lb line. I've never bought braid but I'm thinking the the next time I get line for my stream rods I'll switch it up and give it a shot. You guys obviously seem to like it and I've been getting tired of re-lining every 2 months due to line memory. Great video!

[@downtoadventure4395]

Braid is the way to go. I've run the same line set up as him for a long time.

[@davidromo1407]

this is such a helpful video!

[@jamesgasowski5056]

your videos are great!! ii have fished since i was 14.. now at 65 Ive started again!! ..

[@Austin_Torres]

I've added additional swivels on mine I get too Much line twist whenever I cast into a river

[@bobfish3176]

fish jump 12'03 at end of white water. after tackle a good pair of polarized glasses is a must for spotting trout and your eyes.

[@ACoolBlueR]

Great vid but you should show yourself catching some fish as a sort of proof of concept!

[@jcat5150]

With that gynormous gear he's using I wonder if he ever has hooked one...lol

[@izatafactnow]

a a naw we all have our days when nothing bites.... no shame there, the technical stuff was sound and the vid was well shot and the dude ( sorry my first video of this individual) is way cool and has great demeanour That said; blue fox and mepps spinners are my go to for stream fishing Cheers

[@loganhill2713]

Mike Lee I’m sure he’s hooked more than you have guy

[@Brandonv5280]

ive been thinking the same thing in all these past tutorial videos

[@timrush5994]

You sure got that right buddy.....to much talk and no enough action!! LOL Should have scouted that creek to make sure there were fish in it!! LOL

[@trayvonjackson8442]

Thanks for helping me be a better fisherman.

[@johnsurf509]

All the video's good!!And fun to watch!!Ive watched them all I can't wait to fish fresh water!!
