Breaking Down a TINY Brown Trout Spring Creek - PART 1

[@JP-dz7zu]

Man, you guys fish the most amazing places…. Not fair! 😂

[@jensenflyfishing]

well, you can work heaps and make a living or live by scraping by and living heaps :)

[@AnglingAlchemy]

I all but live on blue ribbon water in western Montana, 2 minute drive, and striking distance from rivers people dream about, and they make me jealous. 🤣

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@AnglingAlchemy the most important thing is to live near and get out on trout waters :)

Best Fishing Channel on YT! Thank you for all you’ve done

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you for the support! Glad you love the channel and our direction 😊

[@michaelwoehrl1746]

The look on Emilia's face as Dave goes on a rambling babel-fest is priceless! Great video!

[@jensenflyfishing]

:) ah, babble.

[@evanhammond7305]

When Amilia said, "It's a dink rising over there" I had a chuckle

[@jensenflyfishing]

life is so relevant, ain't it??? :)

[@evanhammond7305]

@jensenflyfishing just funny. You guys seem really suburban 99% of the time. The odd time something like that or Dave dropping a f bomb, no your still typical Albertans. Lol

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@evanhammond7305 that's funny, really. AJ is the worst when it comes to language when she's set up on a fish or something goes wrong. I am always too keenly aware of the camera and the audience to let loose and talk like I would otherwise... and on days like yesterday I end up editing the color with either bird song or music ;) :) Not sure even the internet is ready for Alberta speak ;)

[@evanhammond7305]

@jensenflyfishing I corrected the spelling lol

[@straubdavid9]

@53:41 Gorgeous gorgeous fish .... it is about the colors and patterns for sure. Congrats on that catch Amelia (sp?) .... that is about as pretty as a fish ever needs to be.🐟🐟🐟✌🏻

[@jensenflyfishing]

tune in to next week's video and you'll see it again :) Stunning fish, that one :)

[@Bneumanns124]

It’s a relief finding out you’re human, just like the rest of us, Dave 😅

[@jensenflyfishing]

Ah hell yeah. Heat stress, sleep - uggh! :) Now go watch the follow up session, same creek, 2 months later... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHaaaGSImceYkNU

[@griffinlind5987]

I love it when you guys fish this stream! It always makes for the best videos!

[@jensenflyfishing]

well, wait til the next one coming up next video - Dave goes from strike out to all home runs :)

[@briljantje9583]

Superb quality video and superb trout. 👌

[@jensenflyfishing]

glad you loved it :)

[@Vaoutdoorsmen]

Awesome Video Gorgeous Brown Trout

[@jensenflyfishing]

A stunner caught 7 years running :) And again in our next video when Dave gets a little retribution :)

[@Vaoutdoorsmen]

That is sweeeet really amazing 👏

[@obie_8214]

maaaaaan that's the clearest water ever!

[@jensenflyfishing]

It really helps in sharing what we're looking for, where :)

[@big1dog23]

Even on a big productive river like Montana's Smith there a single large brown that my nephew and some of his friends have caught. Usually in the same prime feeding spot in the River, it's been fun to see it on Insta, FB ...over the years.

[@jensenflyfishing]

and that's really the point we were trying to be subtle about in the opening... we're all literally after "it" - a literal "it/one". They are unique and special buggers! :)

[@jackkingsborough1898]

Waiting for the next video 🫢 awesome video guys ❤

[@jensenflyfishing]

it's a great one :)

[@al-ho1by]

great stuff as usual 👍👌

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thanks for the visit :)

[@ChangkongFishing]

Nice video bro ! thank bro for it ! 🙂🙂🙂

[@jensenflyfishing]

glad you enjoyed it

[@svitkofishing]

you guys need to come to Slovenia for 30+inch marble trout

[@jensenflyfishing]

if anyone knows how to raise funds to make that trip happen, we're there :)

[@Pephers]

⁠@@jensenflyfishing do a fundraiser on, say Kickstarter, for a video about Sloviean marble trout. I’d love to see your approach applied on the tributaries of Soča.

[@MuskieBeLove]

I’ve actually caught the same brown 3 years in a row, and watched him grow. Haven’t caught/ seen him in 3 years now 😢 I also caught the same Muskie less than 14 hours apart this past fall haha!

[@jensenflyfishing]

it's neat when we pay attention to this kind of thing and it really drives home just how few of the "fish we're really hunting" there are, how population pyramid dynamics have never really lied about carrying capacity & ecosystem productivity. :)

[@AleksandrKopchenkov]

Спасибо!!!!👍👍👍👍

[@jensenflyfishing]

:)

[@kenlloyd5195]

for some reason comments for episode 2 have been turned off, one word Brilliant

[@jensenflyfishing]

Oops!!! Thank you! All fixed now

[@scotthiggins1706]

With that kind of intense focus on the water. You must have a scary bear story or two . Ever sneak up on one ?

[@jensenflyfishing]

not on the water, actually only on hikes or bikes in - big bull moose obsessively stalking me about was the one that really is unnerving!

[@axelg4263]

Hi ,you know when orvis replace the helios3 by new model ? The helios 3 is on sale on many site, i was thinking it's for 2024

[@jensenflyfishing]

hiya - we know something is in the works but never are too privy to launches, etc.

[@SithLord_66_80]

Out of pure curiosity, how close is the nearest stream for you guys? My nearest is 2.5 hours away. Which also happens to be my favorite.

[@jensenflyfishing]

for us about 30 seconds to our creek, 7 min to a river. we do roam a little tho!

[@AnglingAlchemy]

2.5 hours is a drive. What state are you in?

[@dankochanek8056]

So being out in the middle of nowhere, do you ever run into bears, moose etc? Do you carry bear spray when you go?

[@jensenflyfishing]

not as often on the water, actually. More on the hike/bike in/out. Air horns and spray are always on board with the grizz territory. :)

[@keithelliot3772]

We don't have Bears, Rattlesnakes or Wolves here in Scotland to worry about, but if you hit a cloud of Midges they would drive you insane 😊. Tight lines. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@skyiswomb1]

I was flyfishing in the middle of a river, looked upstream, and there was a bear swimming across about 50ft upstream. Thankfully just a smaller black bear, but it freaked me out that it blended in with the river noise until it was that close.

[@jensenflyfishing]

​@@skyiswomb1​@skyiswomb1 it's incredible how close we can be and not hear or see animals! We had a lab back when we owned Fortress Lake retreat and day I'd been digging a grey water pit, walked to the lake and come back when the cover had come off. I leaned down to pick it up and my dog bolted about 8' to the other side of the willow and chased a decent sized black bear out of camp. Just crazy close. Thank goodness my 70lb lab had my back! 🤣

[@skyiswomb1]

@@jensenflyfishing 8' is a little too close for comfort haha and God knows how many mountain lions have been watching y'all each trip

[@MrMrdave1966]

Lol people need to spend some time volunteering electro shocking. Its a sobering time. You will learn how few fish inhabit our tiny streams.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Funny story about this creek... it has exactly the mature fish in it that you see in this video plus two others that were more transient to the main due to the severe drought. Guess how that's known? More people need to spend more time observing and getting to know what's really going on. 🍻

[@kenlloyd5195]

your thought promoting opening to this video is challenging to those jurisdictions that oversee our fisheries, ecology vs numbers and sensitive waters it disappointing when your national body promotes the fishery as a food source with out giving attention to the variety of waters and their ability to support fish life, NZ 2024 its a worry

[@jensenflyfishing]

It was a very deliberate topic of inclusion here to hopefully gently lead people to consider their own waters and make realizations to. If Amelia & I so dedicated ourselves I am sure we alone could literally fish out most of the fish in the vast majority of the streams we fish in a calendar year. The elephant in the room of the whole #rewildnz campaign this year is the deliberate blind eye to carrying capacities of the majority of trout streams in NZ. We'd say the day of reckoning is here & now for NZ trout given the devastating turn to trout eradicating floods and droughts/heat waves the past few years. Between human impact/consumption and the shift to devastating habitat shifts in the environment and land use impacts, there may very well be a static ability for trout to continue to produce at current levels. The threshold to downward change is extremely thin here and we may just be beginning to see its impact.

[@samuelbrenner3352]

I feel like you fish too small of waters...I fish West Coast Oregon fish and its very different almost like you have an advantage that's not to me fishing...they don't have the chance..I'm sorry it's just not the same to me

[@jensenflyfishing]

Hmm, so on one video you misrepresent and don't hear the discussion regarding spawning as it was presented and now you don't like that we fish small waters in some our videos. We're us and love what we do and share that and do a diversity of waters and engagements for interesting moments and engagements with trout - if you don't like it why post negatively? Maybe learn to appreciate and enjoy what we do and share or take ownership that maybe what we do isn't for you? All the best.

[@robinflower38]

Great response.

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@robinflower38 thanks - it's hard having a large audience on various social channels to truly decipher intent or angles of some responses while always trying to be kind in reply! :)

[@samuelbrenner3352]

I don't ever target spawn, I'm losing faith in your channel

[@jensenflyfishing]

Huh? Learn to listen better??? Jeepers

[@daniellavoie333]

Right, because browns spawn in the peak of summer…

[@hudsonflyfishing5785]

Poor Dave! I’ve never seen you so frustrated. Get some sleep mate.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Yeah, heat wrecks me... add smoke and a drive... ah well. Next time.😊
