Fly Fishing Desert Lakes for HARD FIGHTING Trout! Fly Fishing Lake Lenice in Washington

[@Multipleization]

My company, Troutlodge, stocks that lake and many others in Grant County. Glad to see our hard work paying off and making people smile!

[@FlyFishDan]

Definitely put a smile on my face on this day! That is awesome - thank you for sustaining this lake. Any plans to place Browns and/or Tiger back in the lake?

[@Multipleization]

Not as far as I know, we only deal with rainbow trout. I would love to see those back though.

[@bobhammond8067]

Knuckle bustin' runs!!

[@FlyFishDan]

Very well put!! So much fun!

[@OverlandPNW]

Some very nice catches ! Love the underwater release footage !

[@FlyFishDan]

Thanks! I need to invest in a GoPro exclusively for the underwater stuff...always screws up the iPhone mic for at least an hour...Lol

[@andy1or2]

Your video's are getting better & better each time ;) Great drone footage, great explanations of tactics and just great to watch ...keep em coming ;)

[@FlyFishDan]

Thank you! It’s certainly been fun growing and producing better content - thanks for supporting me along the way. Cheers!

[@doncamp1150]

I enjoy your video, Dan. You fish the places that I have fished or wanted to fish, and you show the country that surrounds the lakes and streams as I remember them. I am no longer fishing. Heath reasons. But these bring back pleasant memories that go back more than sixty years.

[@FlyFishDan]

Thanks for being a part of my channel Don, I appreciate that!

[@flyguy3827]

Great video FlyFishDan - love the intro...well done!!

[@FlyFishDan]

Thanks so much!

[@elisjournal4435]

Nice ‘bows! Never a bad day when it’s full of rainbows!

[@FlyFishDan]

Agreed! Thanks Eli!

[@AdventuringthePNW]

That’s some beautiful country side. Wow. What a great day. 👍👍

[@FlyFishDan]

Yes it was! Thank you!

[@ryanward58]

Great video. I too would’ve bailed once the mosquitoes took over. Keep them coming!

[@FlyFishDan]

Thank you! I am like a magnet for those pesky things - Lol

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

I really love the drone footage on this one. Great choice of shots! Especially while you were fishing, so cool to see the lake structure

[@FlyFishDan]

Thanks Mark!! I’ve always been curious about what is above that ridge. The layers on the hillside, I can’t even imagine the history behind that. The dark rust color and defined line of white. What is that???

[@teamlosi11]

Hey Mark! I agree 💯 with this comment. Incredible scenery. What a state we have to explore 🔥🔥🙏🙏🤯🤯

[@WyomingOutofDoors]

Good video friend

[@FlyFishDan]

Thanks!

[@tmaddrummer]

I have many fond memories from fishing there with my son and some of my very best friends, sadly some are gone now. I had many fine fine fish I remember on an opening day on chironomids when there was snow and ice, and damsel flies did the trick when it started to warm up. What a great set of lakes, I sure miss them and especially my dear fly fishing friends. Thanks for the memories Dan!

[@FlyFishDan]

You are most welcome and thank you for taking the time to watch and for your comments. I do appreciate that! Cheers!

[@keepinfly4496]

Just there the other week definitely one of my favorite spots I grew up fishing. Cool to see the drone shot over the ridge.

[@FlyFishDan]

Thank you! I as well - first time for me at this lake was 17 years old back when Browns and Tigers were all over the lake. Miss those days! The drone does add a nice element for sure!

[@tbutowicz]

I haven't fished that lake in decades. For sure some big trout in there. My best bud and I were tube fishing early in the season dragging nymphs, he was day dreaming when one of the big ones hit his rod so hard he almost had his rod taken out of his hands! Fish ended up breaking him off, but the bend in the rod indicated it was a big one. Will have to go back. Thanks.

[@FlyFishDan]

It's not like it used to be back in the day, but it's stocked regularly, and you can still get into a 2-3-pound trout.

[@FishingWithDamon]

Awesome I am a kid and I love fly fishing nothing better then nature I also have my own channel right here 😊

[@FlyFishDan]

Nice!

[@briankelly6113]

Now we're talking! Nice Eastern WA lunkers. Nothing more fun that having a fish rip the line from your reel. Have not fished this lake yet but it's on my short list.

[@FlyFishDan]

You got that right! Love that sound - cheers!

[@teamlosi11]

Holy Wow this place is BEAUTIFUL and your drone footage really enhanced this one 👌

[@FlyFishDan]

Glad you enjoyed it - I am getting a bit better at piloting that crazy little machine. It does enhance the video experience for sure! :))

[@jjniuamoa8557]

I’m watching these videos 2yrs from now lol it would be awesome to fish with you Dan! I’ve just started my fly fishing career last year and though it’s expensive I’ve had so much fun catching rainbows that I’ve ever had before! I live in Cheney area for school but in Tacoma for the summer would be awesome to fly fish with you if at all possible ! Blessings!

[@teamlosi11]

Your energy, enthusiasm and delivery are consistent Dan. So excited to fish and collaborate one day soon!!! fIsH oN!!!

[@FlyFishDan]

Thanks Joel - I always appreciate your support - Cheers!

[@WarWolf926]

Hey FlyFishDan do you remember me I was the kid you met at that lake

[@FlyFishDan]

Of course I remember you - I told my wife about how we met! Thanks for subscribing to my channel! I am working on that video as we speak! FISH-ON!!

[@WarWolf926]

Thank you fish on

[@TheKrazykris]

I live in Grant county, and I LOVE the fishing out here. There are a lot of great fly fishing lakes.

[@FlyFishDan]

Well said - love the dessert lakes too!

[@KambizNazir]

Mosquitoes in that area are down right rude. I never go without my deet spray.

[@FlyFishDan]

A Thermacell works well without the chemicals that can melt your fly line (DEET)

[@michaelholland4967]

do people also hunt deer and elk there? This'll be my first season here in Washington I'm not familiar with the hotspots

[@FlyFishDan]

They sure do! Lots of great hunting in WA
