Appreciate the last part about recognizing the fact scouting places means you’ll hit dead ends. I’ve spend spring making 8-10 trips to new areas in hopes of getting a good new spot + catching fish. Doing both same trip is hard, and I’ve had re frame my mindset to “this is about scouting, not about fishing”. Looking at the water, area, access, etc. Thanks for the video and tips! Helpful!

[@TIWN_12]

Another cool thing you can do when scouting for bridges and near by roads is street view. It's a good way to see the water with another perspective.

My first year river fishing and it actually blows my mind how dynamic it is. Stacked up fish one day, dead section of water the next. I think I enjoy it so much because of how you connect with everything around you, especially when wading. Man wading is fun. No electronics, just basic information like flow, water temperature and time of year to go off of. It's just me against the fish, a battle of wits.

[@Enrichie]

Brought so much value into my life. Thanks!

[@timmcarthur9220]

Great educational opportunity! Thanks fellas!

[@unsungangler3575]

Great Video as always. As someone new to videography and KZbin, your videos are very informative for me with my own projects. Keep doing all the great things you're doing!

[@swordfish9921]

Number one question has to be how did you get Kenny Powers to join your fishing gang

[@brandonjanness9886]

Thanks for the great videos! Looking forward to the Alaska video! What tablet were you using to wiz through Google maps on in this video?

[@keithwebster5909]

OnX is a great tool to figure what is private and what is public. It also gives the landonwers names on private ground.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Sweet, I’ve heard of that but never used it. We’ll give it a look!

[@johnd.8004]

Love the basics in North Carolina! Great tips

[@7Wolf2k]

Just watched this video and used the tactics Adam showed off. Found some nice places in the Eastern Sierras to check out. Marked them all up in my new Fishing Spots map. When are you guys gonna come out and take on some real fishing? The Sierras are the place to be. You've got alpine lakes, desert streams and plenty of in between out here. I'm telling you, the Owen's River will make you happy. Upper, or Lower. Rock Creek is amazing. Heck, go skiing in Mammoth for a winter trip. It's all out here in California.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Stoked to hear that, Doug! We want to get over there, don’t worry. It’s on our list!

[@mikekrol7485]

Good intel. Still working on choosing a favorite drone shot. Life gets busy. Keep the vids coming.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks Mike!

[@wagr9824]

New subscriber - just found your channel. You make amazing videos. Keep up the great work.

[@Daniel_Loveland]

On X changed my whole approach this past season. Definitely helps with access issues.

[@wcdunn]

I've thought about getting this. How much money have you spent on maps?

[@anthonypope5830]

On X is good but not always accurate. It is wrong about my property lines that I have owned 20+ years

[@baot.5770]

Where did you buy the heavy duty raft? Thanks.

[@georgeberger9546]

Saw that crimson & white pompon behind the bar...that was the first clue. Needed the Blue and Orange up there too-#WarEagle.

[@hillbillysportsman5818]

Really good info! Thanks!

[@wiston_-dd5td]

great video guys you killed it

[@michaeltaylor1590]

Flint River Georgia; South Georgia shoal bass , it’s gonna be great this summer😎

[@OscarOverlanding]

Thank you!!!!

[@benhubbs9489]

Can you do a vid on overall good smallie flies? Thanks

[@WildFlyProductions]

Way ahead of ya dude. We’ve got one on the way!

[@rogerholsapple5521]

Great video!

[@projectpat0]

Looks like stephen was doing some additional scouting on tinder haha

[@WildFlyProductions]

Hahaha

[@leachy_]

Thanks for the help man

[@WildBlueDiscovery]

Thanks for sharing!

[@silenthvi]

I live in Huntsville! I go up to Trumbull creek and a few places just into TN. Would love to hear your favorite local places!

[@Bradyshandmadenets]

Stache I looking good man!

[@santoray9517]

I have one question have you guys fished the San Juan river and if you have what flies would you recommend?

[@jyoung1024]

May be a stupid question, but after you find a spot and float down the river, how do you get back to the truck? Are you paddling or motoring back up to the put-in?

[@WildFlyProductions]

We shuttle. We leave one car at the take out (downstream) and then once we’re off we drive up and get the other car to bring back down.

[@adventuretimefishinghunting]

Those are some great tips!

[@MikeGowan-xo9yv]

Didn’t know Adam was a Bama guy…I went there in the 80’s…Roll Tide!!!…

[@quadesherwood8881]

Great tips! i gotta get a raft

[@WildFlyProductions]

Do it!

[@mainHERO88]

Scouting Google Maps for rivers and camp sites is what I do when I'm bored at work lol

[@rileyvetter9653]

Who makes that raft frame?

[@amber-rosevallone7041]

Was Adam in east bound and down?

[@BackyardBassin]

Self-guided trips are the ticket! Takes a little effort up front, but it opens up so many possibilities. We were actually guests on a podcast to talk about some of the methods that we use to find water to fish. Figured if people were watching this video they may find it interesting and useful so here is the link - www.bugsandbeardspodcast.com/episodes/episode-16-diy-fishing-trips-with-backyard-angling . Great stuff as usual by the way. Keep it up!

[@rileyvetter9653]

Another helpful tip is to just get out there and do it!

[@koldham3797]

What kind of rafts do you use?

[@Michael65429]

They look like 14' self bailing Sotars...

[@BlueLineCo]

He's right, 12-14' Sotar

[@FishingWithDL]

I realized after watching this video that I need to "GET AFTER IT!!"

[@dominicsinopoli4379]

Great video, been binging your content - really enjoying. I recommend checking out OnHuntX which is a great app well beyond google maps. Shows satellite imagery but also tells you land owners and provides some way point info along with other topo details.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Awesome, thanks!

[@garrettnorris7541]

What type of tablet is he using?

[@WildFlyProductions]

iPad

[@clogwog84]

I just found out about your YT channel, really like it and learned a lot. But... 3 ad's within 7:45? :')

[@Beastmode1206]

What glasses are those

[@qpzeecally8371]

U guys have a nice thing going on here 🤔VET

[@cowboycrna2811]

Has anyone told Adam that he sounds like Danny McBride?

[@uluacom]

🔥

[@fkylw]

ROLL DAMN TIDE!

[@ryanrivera3637]

Bro sound like Danny Mcbride

[@chocrow]

how do you grow a mustache?

[@WildFlyProductions]

No idea

[@mattbehnke5065]

I find it really hard to believe these fellas cannot justify an OnX membership!

[@pullmyfinger5127]

I am using the maps technique on a river not far from me. I wanted to know your thoughts on pointing out other features of the rivers such as falls, rapids, bank structures. Also when on the river do you add to your maps. Things like strainers, fish caught, kayak hatches, low water stretches and other things that you might want to be reminded of.
