Fishing TINY Creeks for Fall Brook Trout!!

[@patjordan1955]

Amazing fall colors!

[@patjordan1955]

Great job not giving up!

[@garykolanda5208]

A few wild trout & amazing scenery always make the day.

[@hardmanfishing]

No doubt! Thanks for watching!

[@jerrycolleenmoore2799]

You inspired me to fly fish thanks

[@jimgollach6202]

Catching brookies in the fall has a special magic to it. I like how you were sneaking up on them, I have caught them before crawling on my belly. All in fun time. Enjoyed the video, thanks!👍👍

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm glad you enjoyed!!!

[@evans1982]

A lot of times brook trout move up into small feeder streams or beaver/spring ponds to spawn in the fall. At least in Michigan where I live that’s what happens. So it doesn’t shock me that you found more fish in a small stream. One thing I would certainly recommend is that you get out some maps and look for some spring ponds in the headwaters of some of these creeks. I have some secret spring ponds in Michigan that hold massive amounts of large brookies, and some have large browns too. My guess is that West Virginia is no different, you just have to bushwhack a lot. Good luck out there!

Do the miles, get the smiles!

[@hardmanfishing]

Some of these creeks do have brook trout year round, but you are right. Usually if there are big fish up the tiny tribs then they more than likely moved in! Thanks for watching!

Back when I had extra leisure time, I loved those hard to get to brookie streams in N GA. A great way to spend the day.

[@henryleslievermont6004]

Can't get over how much it looks like Vermont :) Enjoyed Thanks

[@patjordan3267]

Love the fall colors!!!!! Thanks!

[@davidleimeister5027]

Wow, wow, wow! You live in God's country brother. If that's all fo this season what a way to end it. Beautiful!!!

[@hardmanfishing]

No doubt!!! Thanks for watching!

[@Davidt2115]

So glad I came across your videos. I just moved to the Smokys from the Midwest and have never fished for trout. I watched your walmart vid the other day and decided to go out and grab a set up. Looking forward to learning a ton more!

[@michaelsmith7193]

It’s always exciting to fish new waters. Some lovely streams and your excellent videography indeed did them justice. Thanks for sharing this great fall adventure!

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It was an awesome day for fishing.

[@cooltuber1404]

I give you credit for fishing some of those creeks and some of the spots on those creeks ! Myself, I probably would not cause I'd be spending more time "de-flying" the bushes, trees and myself ! Also, I'd probably be outta flies very quickly from all of them I lost cause of those snags ! The scenery was beautiful and thank you for your dedication !

[@dynamicphotography_]

Pretty looking creek and fish! Fall colors looking great! 🙌

[@hardmanfishing]

No doubt! Thanks for watching man!

[@markdavella7477]

Beautiful video.

[@lucaslylesyt]

Man those streams on the east coast make the west coast Sierra Nevada streams over here look so basic and small!

[@krzysieka2871]

I love your videos bro. Its very nice watching fishing video and learn language. In Poland we have many beatifuell rivers and creek, but they are not as fishy as yours

[@rhyswerner8749]

0:16 awesome shot of an amanita muscaria!! Gorgeous mushroom but don't eat it 😂

[@teamcoff]

Always an epic intro! Great video and way to get into em💪🏽🎣

[@FishingWithDamon]

Awesome trout fishing they were so beautiful and I just loved the scenery I recently did a trout fishing video it is so peaceful especially since I have been distracted with school love that bait that you use I have the exact same one my favourite is the lucky strike spinners thought anyway have a happy Halloween!

[@appleseeD552]

Great vid 🙂👍....I don't see any "fail" as an utter failure....you ALWAYS learn sumthin, ya know?🤷‍♂️ From what I HAVE seen in these vidz isn't anything short of success bro...you're outside, in GORGEOUS country, able to stop and fish where you feel like....all good stuff my friend....not to mention the catches😳...STUNNING😳👍 Keep em comin and thanks for makin this. Peace ✌😎

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! But you're right... I don't consider days like this a failure but it's worth mentioning that every day I fish I don't catch a hundred fish or even a big fish.

[@drewbaumann8026]

Dallas: “They’re spooked dude, you’re never gonna catch em” Me:*throws 12 casts anyways

[@smilingbob6708]

I think it helps to wear a lot of camouflage but you still have to be really sneaky and try no to be seen, but I could be wrong.

[@daantheeuwes8249]

Maybe try Some fishing challenges it would be very entertaining

[@hardmanfishing]

I will have a bunch of those coming for the winter!

[@jshada58]

Great video as usual. Quick question, what type of net do you use ? Thanks.

[@jeffprice4611]

I quit fishing for Brook Trout from mid October to January. They usually start to spawn mid October and I don’t want to take a chance with them or their eggs.

[@zacklemon4195]

Noice first!

[@drewj6837]

What kind of sunglasses do you wear when fishing these small streams

[@vanjanfishingandcomedy1438]

I have a question what is your favorite fly for brown trout because ime thinking about going brown trout fishing

[@yohanleecreatives]

I love fall fishing! Can I know what camera and mic you use?

[@wbrady8208]

Just curious what state do you live in and also keep up the good work

[@bigskyoutdoors4232]

i found a realy good local creek

[@h4ze180]

If you wanna catch some big salmon I live by an awesome small creek where giant salmon spawn every year its in South Milwaukee Wisconsin. If you could make the drive there are tons of giants.

[@hardmanfishing]

That sounds awesome!!

[@TheXeniaman]

Gotta love the native brook trout. We have them where I live in small streams, but I have not fished for them in years. What is your leader set up for these small creeks?

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm usually running a 5x leader, it's nothing special because it really doesn't have to be for these little guys.

[@clanman8278]

Hey man, can you tell me what rod and reel your using. I'm looking for a small stream rod and reel, but im looking for something on the cheaper size. Recommendations

[@jimgollach6202]

Check out cabelas, I have a 5ft 2wt. Tqr, tight quarter flyrod I bought a few years ago. I already had a small reel I got from my grandfather. Check it out, fun,fun.

[@marksmith9194]

What rod length, line weight, fly, and tippet length are you using on these small mountain streams?

[@jeffprice4611]

I use an old Sage SP 0wt and 5x-7x tippet for small streams myself. Appalachian Brookies are smaller then Northern strain Brooks. Usually catch 1 fish per hole since they are very skittish and others will spook and shut down. If you walk with a heavy foot, they can actually feel you walking over boulders. Flies can be size 12-18.
