Fly Fishing for INCREDIBLE Trout!!

[@AmateurFloridaInshoreSportsman]

Thank you for not editing or putting on music. The sound of the rushing water is better than music. Your consideration is greatly appreciated as well as the fun fishing adventure👍

[@wnctarheel9626]

I enjoy hearing the sound of the water and birds chirping in the background. I like the music you usually play as long as it isn’t to loud to drown out hearing the creek or you talking. Another great video. 👍

[@davidleimeister5027]

Nice creek. I will watch anything you post. Keep up the good work Jon.

[@roberthutson8054]

You have all the musically made with a sound of the running water that was a great video🎉

[@humphlc4]

These what you call simple vids are great just the sound of the stream and the forest with lively pretty brook trout are all a fly fisher needs

[@michaelsmith7193]

Beautiful stream. Really a nice approach - loved the natural sounds. Thank you again for your excellent efforts!

[@gergorethy7561]

Yes I would love to see more videos like this one. 🎉

[@hillbillysportsman5818]

Love these types of videos….no need for music, drones, or fancy stuff…just good fishing content.

[@user-xj5mq5ln2g]

Back to the basics! Love a good brookie episode.

[@BB-bv6uq]

I could watch a small stream native brookie video everyday😂 thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@richardjones2129]

Nice fish and the setting was so serene. Thank you for sharing this voyeuristic adventure of creek fishing. God Bless n Fish on!

[@tamicrist2865]

Thanks for the awesome video...again!

[@renaudbonneville]

I love videos like that! Winter time for me up here in Canada so I can’t go fly fishing. This takes me back to it.

[@hardmanfishing]

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

[@renaudbonneville]

@@hardmanfishing your videos are now parts of my daily routine before going to work. Keep up the good work 👍

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

Love this video of straight up fishing. Beautiful brookies and the hatches. That fish eating that caddis was a treat and a good teaching tool to add to your repatoire. I really enjoyed this video and always tight lines. Tony

[@JRegerWVOH]

These videos give me life bro.. thank you!

[@wvlongshooter3912]

Perfect and very enjoyable. I think I like it without the music. The sounds of the nature is music to my ears, thanks!!! Beautiful fish!!!

[@nancyblanchard8489]

Enjoyed the video. Keep em coming !

[@joabe_cesar]

Keep up the good work. God bless you

[@larryhudson4511]

Love the small streams!

[@WildBlueDiscovery]

Nice stream! Simple is fine! Tightlines

[@martinford76]

[@matthewwidmer47]

Nice one love trout

[@obozomustgo5449]

Jon, sportin the Doc Holiday stash!

[@yutakaimai4265]

Thanks for this. I surprised there are too many flying insects.

[@jkvoot]

Nice video😎👍

[@briljantje9583]

Nice video John.

[@TipoftheHook]

Small fish, but so much fun to watch anyway, loved it 👍! Keep them awesome videos coming! I also fish and film in my home country Kazakhstan, but nature and fish are slightly different here than yours🤷‍♂😉😬

[@carlosthethird-ix7nq]

awsome video mate!

[@charlesjohanesen1651]

yup, more like this one would be good for me.

[@edwardrolle7723]

I’m a big parachute Adam’s guy. I live up in NY and fish a lot of the Catskills streams. People ask what I’m throwing and I tell everyone you can catch trout anywhere up here if you just throw a #16 parachute Adam’s like two feet above a weightless #16 soft hackle pheasant tail. Yesterday I fished a couple different creeks after work. Got a dozen or so brookies in the one from 6-10” and the other I was fishing some new water down from where I usually fish. Usually I catch sub six inch brookies there so I was throwing my 2wt glass rod on 6x. (Yeah we need some rain up here too the low water is miserable) Well I was a bit surprised when a 18+” brown sipped my Adam’s haha. Fought him for a couple minutes and he broke me off half in the net. I guess I’ll back for that one. I did get a nice 16” brown a couple pools later as a consolation prize but… man that big one is hard to get off the mind hahaha. Lastly, if I’ve been getting skunked in a very likely looking hole I’ve been taking off the dry dropper and throwing a little micro bugger ive tied. It’s like a size #8 maybe #10. Small enough that even though it’s a beadhead fly it hasn’t really been spooking fish in the low water but also big enough that it’s a decent imitations of the sculpins and darters around here. I tie it in brown and gold. That’s actually what I got that 16” brown on. Anyways, another great video man!

[@charliesutphin3808]

Hey I’m heading up to the Catskills in a couple weeks and actually trying to find some brookie streams because I’m just into small streams and less pressure, but yeah I know of fir brook off of the willowemoc creek but that’s about it, any other suggestions would be great

[@edwardrolle7723]

@@charliesutphin3808sorry man I don’t give spots out to just anybody, especially in a KZbin comments section. A lot of these streams quite frankly don’t need to see the pressure. But I’ll give you some tips… there’s a lot of big popular trout streams in the Catskills that everybody knows about right? You’ve got the Beaverkill, willowemoc, esopus, neversink, and Delaware they’re really the big 5. There’s more but I’d say those are the ones that see the most pressure. Spend some time looking at a map and follow these rivers looking for tributaries coming off the mountains. A lot of these creeks hold state land too. You don’t have to look too hard to find them. I caught wild trout out of 29 different Catskill streams last year and natives in 18. I’m already at 16 this year and a lot of them are new creeks. I’m sure there are few people as obsessive with mapping these little wild gems as I am but hey trust me theyre out there. Besides, I’m the type of guy that gets just as much enjoyment in finding the fish myself as I do in catching them. It makes the whole thing that much more rewarding! I’m actually going out to check out one new creek and one awesome creek right now. Good luck

[@edwardrolle7723]

But hey anything can be bought I’m 25 and broke… if somebody wants to pay my rent this month I’ll happily sell you my list of about 40 Catskill streams, where they have public access AND what you’ll catch there. 25 brookie streams or your money back guaranteed. It’s not cheap putting gas in the car to get out and fish 2-3 times a week XD

[@charliesutphin3808]

@@edwardrolle7723 lmao I hear you, and you all good with not naming any creek I get that, but thanks for info on the tributaries and etc, but definitely will dive into some maps and stuff thanks again good luck too you on that new stream

[@northeasternfly]

Good luck trying that on the upper Delaware 😂😂

[@pyro9013]

You inspire me to explore new waters thanks man. Great video i like both film styles. Maybe mix it up time to time.

[@SkonrokkenTV]

Cool that you can fish in such a tiny stream! Well trout not huge but well done. Where was this? East coast, NY? Or similar? I guess trout are too spooky for micro-spey and creeks too small. Don't need music or fast cuts, fine the way they are. Fished the creeks around Ithaca as well, no results, but similar fishing. Now in Norway, also lots of piddlers. But in the mountains 500g-1kg fish (but very difficult on fly, mostly on spinners or earthworms). Amazed you can flyfish in such tight bush, amazing you can backcast at all. Tight lines! Keep up the vids!

[@stevensimons-b9y]

It was great show more please

[@realnatureadventures]

Amazing 😊😊

[@GeorgeSemel]

I live in CT and lt looks like another low-water summer going into fall. Last year it was dry fly fishing heaven on the West Branch of the Farmington. Water temps will be an issue. Small flies and long leaders. 6x and 7x will be the norm.

[@howler_bros]

Nice work amigo ⚡⚡⚡

[@BlackRail33]

More of these please.

[@leehjones]

I enjoyed the no-soundtrack, even as a change of pace. There's nicer sounds than a trout stream, I guess, but I've not found one yet.

[@brandenswartz5591]

What is that blue landing net that you use? Does it click into a holder or something?

[@craigwampler8301]

What scent did u use

[@elijahlexplore346]

What floatant do you use and which ones would you recomend

[@gregwatts6735]

Gink, Orvis, Loon, or any of them. They’re all the same.

[@ccmusic2249]

I loved the editing. Maybe think of the hea ily produced stuff more towards advertising and this type if video is for relaxing, slowing down, and enjoying nature.

[@fishingwithmakarony7]

Hello! What rod do You use?

[@merlehall9208]

You said you added lotion to the dry fly? What is that? and why use it?

[@hardmanfishing]

It keeps the dry fly floating

[@adams13f]

Would it be possible to show us some how to stuff? Casting, stripping, techniques?

[@curtis2600]

Where are you located I grow up in WV but now live in Iowa

[@SlabCampOutdoors]

Jon, I would love a video on the gear you use to film your adventures. Is it simply a go pro with a chest harness? Your videos are so high quality and immersive. Thanks!

[@Tim_extreme]

What camera did you use?

[@curtis2600]

I would love to learn to fly fish

[@pigsgobroke9889]

How refreshing not having music! KZbin videos over use background music. It sucks.

[@henryleslievermont6004]

Enjoyed 😀Do what is best for you 👍

[@georgialltheway6156]

What mountain area were you fishing at trying to find some new places?

[@mandovapehater6988]

The one with a creek in it. Nobody wants to answer that question. C'mon man!

[@S1978b34o]

That's BS, I never care to tell where I fish at. There's plenty of waters for everyone to fish. Being a good angler is sharing the wealth with everyone that wants to enjoy it. Keeping areas to yourself is a douche bag move and selfish.

[@mandovapehater6988]

@@S1978b34o maybe but I ain't the one asking where to fish. I don't think there's a dang thing wrong with keeping secrets. Especially from outsiders. Wanna tell me and the whole world you're bank info? Didn't think so.

[@Flies_the_limit]

Out of curiosity do you tie your own flies?

[@jasongreen5470]

Jon-what size fly do you typically use?

[@gregwatts6735]

With these low and clear creeks now, it’s tough to get more than one out of a hole because they’re all bunched up so tight in anything deeper than 6”.

[@jeffreyl7355]

like it simple

[@frankaurelio435]

Bro those are like bait sized. And what did you spend 500??

[@hardmanfishing]

Spend 500?

Something is different about you….🤔 Looks like you have added a big Wooly Booger on your upper lip 😂. Someone has a new look in the water

LOL Yep!! Had to change up the looks for a little bit
