FLY FISHING for BIG River SMALLMOUTH | EPIC Bass Fishing

In June, I made it down to Alabama to meet up with my 2 good buddies, Adam and Steve, from Blue Line Flies. They had been raving about the smallmouth fishing in their area, for a while, so I figured it was about time to see what all the hype was about. We spent 4 days getting after it and the fishing did not disappoint!

As an Alabama native and fly fishermen I’m always super happy to see some home waters getting fished! Can’t wait for short bus Episode 2!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Northern Alabama is a special place!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Biiiiig fan of this

[@kingfisher4941]

Do you fly fish?

[@Reptiboy54]

I don't know how you don't have +100k subscribers already... Editing is on point, everyone is having a damn good time. I love your videos, keep it up!!!!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks dude!

[@jogger1987]

I think the same thing every time I watch a trip.

[@jodohead]

“The kayak hatch”... Love it!

[@cliffy2107]

Smallmouth video was great to see. Love the videos with the Blue Line Fly guys.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Yessir!

[@wp8767]

Brings back some memories. Spent a few years in east AL, the fly fishery there for bass is epic and largely unknown. Miles and miles of clear, rocky creeks absolutely loaded with spotted and largemouth bass. 50+ fish days wet wading with pretty much anything you threw were the norm when water wasn't blown out. Ya'll cracking me up talking about coming up with warm water patterns... A Clouser, Wooly Bugger, Deer Hair Bug and a Popper will catch more bass than you have time in your life to catch. River bass, especially Smallies and Spots would probably hit a bare hook with a few strands of krystal flash on it in most lightly fished places.

[@skawah1995]

I rarely enjoy a video as much as I enjoyed this one. I love the background music, it really captures the peaceful nature of fly fishing.

[@ccmusic2249]

Yes. All the yes. I LOVE smallmouth fishing. Im in the South, not far from Northern Alabama and I didn't think there was anything like this within hours of me! I would love to discover this River and catch some smallies! Thank you so much for bringing us on the adventure!

[@calebfisher7690]

I found you guys a couple of days ago and I haven’t and can’t stop watching these videos! I love every single aspect of these videos and their just amazing, keep up the great work!!!

[@timmcarthur9220]

You guys never fail to entertain and teach me something. Love the soundtrack to this video too. Good job guys!

[@jeromedamian5740]

Thats a Awesome opportunity for fly fishing because you have no pressure from others ,what a gift.

[@DuvalHitting]

Adam is the Danny McBride of the fishing world and that’s about as high of a compliment I can think of.

[@mikehulsey4813]

Awesome video guys, loved it. Made me want to hit the river with my son this weekend! Hits ya n the feels man

[@jasonvenesky2438]

I’d definitely fish with these guys if I go to Alabama. Great flies and video.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Man your skills are incredible! Story, sequence, filming and editing.. I'm trying to learn from each video you do from a film making perspective! Absolutely love your channel! It has literally become my favorite channel!

[@EMAN-cv6rx]

You need to come down more often, go for some Redeyes on our skinny water. I started watching your channel about a year ago, keep up the great work! Oh yeah...more Blue Line guys!

[@joshalters3940]

More smallmouth vids would be great! How about a short bus trip to the upper Midwest, we got great opportunities for big smallmouth.

[@asagrimmr1459]

interesting what you say about needing a gun. I and my brother almost ended up in some trouble while hiking up to a place to fish in West Virginia we were fortunate to have brought a pistol.

[@ryancarel]

I’m a little behind as I just discovered this channel but I really appreciate content like this and what the blue line fly guys are doing with targeting the warm water fly market bc that’s definitely pretty much all of what I fish but I still enjoy fly fishing. Good stuff 🤙🏼

[@mikedelis1872]

More smallmouth videos. Love it. Creeks for smallies would nice too.

[@stuarthoopfer963]

Great colours on the bass! Love the Gar fly!

[@WildFlyProductions]

The gar fly Is a must have 👌🏻

[@fatmaninayak1264]

Love the small mouth fishing. Love the videos and the short bus. I kayak fish and love the moving water. I have ordered a couple flies from you guys. I'm new to the flyrod world and it will making our Virginia new trip this year and I hope your flies will bring me luck on my 1st trip with my flyrod.

[@christianchildress6947]

Y’all were the ones who got me into fly fishing

[@santosramirez5531]

Great video guys keep up the good work and have fun at it to.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Small mouth , trout , Gar , it’s all good . Love they way the smallies hammer the flies streamers or top water . Great video . PS to hot just fished the Missouri up by Craig Montana 100 degrees 😓 but caught some really nice fish 😈 really like the raft setups could have used a motor on the MO wind in your face slow water , great for building shoulder muscles 💪

[@jordangrant488]

you need to get ahold of Donavan clary in northern Oklahoma. he guides out of the lower Illinois river for Neosho and trophy small mouth along with trout and hybrid. look up anything oklahoma flyfishing even with the wildlife debt and youll see him! would be a video of epic proportion.

[@donniebogle-boesiger8265]

Best line of the video - "The kayak hatch is a bit more than we could handle today"

[@reubenmarlowe6667]

more smallmouth videos, could watch an hour of this, plus smallmouth tactics

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks dude! We’ve got one more smallmouth video coming to ya soon👊🏻

[@Charsept]

I'm just over in Georgia so I know all about having to fish warm water. I have to drive for hours to get to trout water so fly fishing for bass and bream is basically on the menu all year round

[@a.j.2670]

Awesome video, I live in north alabama, good to see someone taking advantage of our waterways. nice little boat also

[@danielpage2149]

Super cool vid, grew up on warm water, love seeing some smallies and largemouth caught on the fly!

[@darrelbaillie7829]

Awesome fun guys. Keep having fun. I have never caught smallies before- mainly large mouth. But in the Western Cape we get a few in some of our rivers.

[@alexhendrick8288]

East bound and down to catch smallies! Great video

[@thomasdalton7987]

Really thinking about taking a fly rod with me for tough days when they're only eating bugs and stuff off top water but not touching lures ..be pretty damn handy I believe

[@Strawsjc]

Let’s see some more smallmouth action! Great stories you thread into the videos.

[@robertclark4509]

I really love the carom shot with the fly in the fishes mouth to see what you guys tied....Cool

[@jewelled0]

More warm water! I live in S.C. and trout is just not an option most of the year.

[@jonathanrudd5348]

I second this. I would love to see them do more warm water fishing.

[@johndavis8746]

I can be a third on this cause I live in southern Michigan and to find really good trout you gotta drive at least 3 hours north of where I live

[@abaddon2479]

Southern Indiana and ask about trout and people are like “ what’s trout”...lol

[@johndavis8746]

@@abaddon2479 that's what I'm saying lol. Trout aren't easy at all

[@Petey347]

More smallmouth videos for sure. More bass in general....

[@tightliningmd]

LOL I was howling at the scene when he cast into the trees and you hear "did you get that on film"..... "yes" lol. Funny he wanted him to look foolish on film. Never have caught a gar, but have been close to a few. Not a species I ever want to tangle with. I actually just did my first smallmouth on the fly experience. Very cool. Nothing compared to this on a float, with good dues, great flies and awesome fishing. Great video as always. Congrats on being the sponsored video of the week on Natives Fly Fishing/CatchCam. Glad you all are linked up. Two great companies/people. Keep up the great work Scottie!

[@dankochanek8056]

I'm not going to put something in your box that I'm not going to put in mine. Thats a great line at a bar at 1am !!!

[@Swamp-Fox]

Always enjoy your videos! More smallmouth fishing is always welcome.

[@adamxiong1817]

You guys need to come up to Minnesota and fish the river channels of the Mississippi River. The smallies here are trophy size during spring spawning. And they hit hard and often. There are also Trout spots in the southern areas of the state.

[@robertreedy9490]

Just watched the video. You guys were only a mile or so from my house when you crossed from Ga to Al. Dude! You should’ve called me!😎

[@dustinhinds1999]

Excellent production! Love the warm water coverage.

[@Charsept]

I like the "cold start" to the video. No intro or anything. Just start talking 😆👌

[@kingfisherfd2]

I love flyfishing for trout, but in the heat of the summer bass seem way more willing.

[@hookinhogswithhenry9845]

I just went fishing with my dad on a guide with Nick, we caught a bunch of bookies and rainbows +1 brown.

[@larryohara6513]

Love smallies!

[@millerbrosmediaoffgridflyf7767]

Great Video Boys! Ya'll need to come up north to the Upper Midwest to experience our Smallmouth :)

[@WildFlyProductions]

DUDE I know. It’s a trip on the list!

These videos r so addicting I have been watching for the past few hours

Really well done videos

[@tareramen6372]

Bros definitely loved the smallie fishing,I go on multiple float trips a year to the jacks fork in the ozarks chasing the bronze backs,they are definitely in my top 3 species to flick a fly at! Thanks for all your work on these episodes I really enjoy your channel and your style.

[@johndougherty5960]

Great video! Smallmouth fishing is mostly what I do and it was great to see a video from you. Can't wait to try some of those flies.

[@andyhsong]

7:53 “Oooh that was sick” sounds like you’re a soul singer on the beat!

[@scrook056]

More warm water fishing, bonus points for more Alabama. I'd like to see a redeye specific trip with Drew Morgan from East Alabama Fly Fishing on the Tallapoosa, or Matthew Lewis who literally wrote the book on redeye bass. Great video work, as always.

[@shootthebreeze8169]

Subscribed. You guys have me building streamer leaders at 1:00am. Will definitely be aiming to pull out some cold water Largemouth in the morning. Well... this morning.

[@roydenny1076]

Keep up the warm water videos. Trout is only one of the many types of fish out there. Kentucky boy here and smallies are what keep me in the water most days. But would love to see you guys do a trip to Cumberland River for the great fishery below Wolf Creek Dam.

[@reedhines3829]

Good on ya! Love the style

[@letsgofishingboys8756]

Amazing video I loved every minute

[@eamonhenning745]

This is the highest quality fishing video I've ever seen

[@stevegausch6682]

Solid video. Smallmouth are the best fly rod fish bar none. Keep 'em coming. Oh, and don't fuck with Hobo Steve

[@andronomisneltron3231]

that bar fly tying setup is the way to go. i wonder what he does to have such a rad place.

[@exoticknots1539]

Weirdly enough even from a young age I’ve always thought of small mouth like a more trouty large mouth and I can’t ever get enough of them

[@paytonsnyder]

Hell yeah! Love the warm water fishing here in the Deep South.

[@briannelson1057]

I'd love to see you guys come up here to Minnesota and float the Upper Mississippi or St. Croix Rivers for huge smallmouth all day long.

[@regularamericandad340]

Awesome video man! They just keep getting better and better!

[@LukeHopkin]

This looked like some RAD fishing. Love the patterns

[@mikemillion3757]

Keep the videos going. Love watching them. You guys are awesome

[@neillee4406]

great video! just placed an order. looking to try out the cooter brown. Cheers!

[@johmakiola]

Agree with a lot of these comments. Nicely done. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@casper9256]

Loved the video no one really fly fishes around here for anything they all take trips to the mountains of nc for trout. i got haw river access in walking distance and they say there are trout in the river but ive never seen of met anyone who has caught any so i usually just go for panfish, and smallmout/ anything that will bite but leanring alot from you guys. Just broke my fly rod when closing the tool box on the truck so definitely need to get another so i can get back to the river. Keep the videos coming

[@_JimS]

@@WildFlyProductions We have a "Tuber Hatch" frequently on the Oconaluftee River in Cherokee NC. They're like Locust Bicyclists.

[@Michael65429]

@@_JimS That's why I quit fishing there plus I don't like the cost for the permit. I get over to the Nantahala where that dam release is nice and cold. The boating traffic doesn't mess up the fishing either but you might have to dodge a raft every now and then.

[@_JimS]

Michael Has m done with the Nat, ever time I go they just released the dam water and it’s too dangerous. Gonna head to New River soon from smallies and musky/pike.

Awesome stuff!! Enjoy watching all the adventures. Need another trip out west. Stop in Colorado.

[@rickliles7048]

I personally believe the small mouth is the greatest fish that swims in freshwater. You guys are obviously in north Alabama somewhere, and I understand why you are not more specific. I am curious about rod weight line type and size leader type and length?…Love your presentation and your friendly style. I’ll be ordering some flies and steamers from you. Thanks.

Your videos are the best! No joke. on a side not, what kind of fly line were you guys using...sink tip, intermediate, floating or a mix of lines?

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks dude and a mix of both. We’ve got another video coming out soon that’ll go over all of that
