Fly Fishing a Creek with Tons of Trout!! (NEW PB)

In this video my buddy catches a HUGE 25 inch wild brown trout!
I don’t like warm winter weather. That may sound weird to say but from a fishing perspective it can be frustrating. It’s been a warm winter with temps hovering in the 50’s on most days. It’s almost like I’ve been robbed of an entire season. You’d think that would mean I’m catching fish like crazy, but that hasn’t been the case. For the last 3 weeks I’ve been jumping from creek to creek, river to river, and even state to state just to find some consistent fishing. And I’m not going to lie, I’ve struggled.
But finally I have something worth showing off! My buddy and I had a slow day but we caught 2 big brown trout, and then went out the following day and racked up some numbers. Although this isn't how I typically like to put videos together I still felt like those wild brown trout were worth showing off! This is winter fly fishing at it's finest.
Hope everyone enjoys the video!!

The admission of being a mere mortal was unexpected....

It's easy to admit it when I get humbled for a few weeks in a row.. Thanks for watching Larry!

@@hardmanfishing a tree fell on my Bronco. Body work won't be done until mid May. So I won't be at my place in Blacksburg until then. Looks like I'll be warm water fishing through spring.

[@michaelsmith7193]

You’re quite right - it has been a very unusual and unpredictable winter. But it looks like you figured it out very well for at least a couple of outings! Well done - your videos are always enjoyable!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video

Thanks for the video John. Keep it up. I have never euro nymphed in my life, so hopefully watching you guys, helps me learn some techniques.

Was relieved when the music cut out during the fishing. Love listening to the sound of the water and enjoy your narration. Keep on flyin 😎

You guys starting fishing my favorite rainbow creek. It’s unreal the size of bows in that creek!!! It was better last year than I’ve ever seen it. Great video and fishing!! Thanks.

[@hardmanfishing]

Man I've been fishing these creeks for a long time! I just don't make it to that area as much as I did 5 years ago. Glad you like the videos though!

can you use a fly on any rod??? and have you ever tride?

@@smothertheresa5881 depends on what kind of fly you're throwing. If you're throwing a heavy streamer then yes, but any other fly unfortunately not.

[@meyejo]

It seems to me the smaller the fish the bigger your southern accent… “thats a big’un” Thanks for the laugh and the great fishing… too cold out west, a few casts then the guides freeze and you might as well have a cane pole

[@hardmanfishing]

I find that my southern accent comes out when I get goofy, but thanks for watching! Andrew has been struggling out west with all of the cold weather, just finding some good open water without a ton of people has been interesting.

[@davidleimeister5027]

What beautiful fish! But fishing can prove to be confusing at times.

[@hardmanfishing]

Couldn't agree more! But that's why we like it I guess

[@user-kr2oq4rv1b]

[@ottosflyfishingchannel5859]

I've definitely snagged my lower fly and had a fish hit the dropper as I was bouncing the rig trying to get it free.

[@troutowl]

I thought you put together another great video. Plus you both caught some real ones, nice fish.

Thanks man!!

I was feeling a bit sorry for your buddy until you played the clip of the 25" brown. He earned a slow day after that catch! LOL!

[@hardmanfishing]

I agree!! it was a heck of a brown!

Nice..

[@alexstout7834]

Great video! It’s cold up here in upstate ny, 35 degrees at the warmest, but I recently caught my pb brown of 25” on my home town river, I noticed that colder fish really like size 20 nymphs, anyways love your content!

[@e50s65]

Thats exactly the feeling I've been getting in North GA, the fish are confused, zero consistency which fly they take on the days I do manage to catch some

[@capebretonangler]

Hey dude, love the videos. Wondering what kind of rod your using and what wt? I see you got the hydros reel

[@SCYCOFISHINGHUNTING]

I see you use an actual euro line. I use a mono rig. Is there any benefit to the actual euro specific line or is it all preference? Great video by the way 🔥

[@hardmanfishing]

Ehh not really. I actually normally use a mono rig but I'm waiting for a new rod and line to come in.
