FLY FISHING FAILS

[@danclark7195]

“Catching any?” Classic! Good timing on getting skunked... My Midwest “mud puddle” fly fishing season is over.

[@brandontaff8587]

Actually, this may be my favorite of your "Fish w/ Me" videos. I liked hearing your thought process when youre just not into them seemingly immediately. As a 2nd year, still beginner its nice to see the seasoned ones have outings that look a lot like mine. Cheers!

[@andrewmorgan3203]

just midway through my first year on the fly so i couldn't agree more

[@swampgingergaming]

Starting my Second year fly fishing I agree. I feel way better. Tight lines

[@Wrk4Peace15]

" I'm like a mountain goat." hilarious. Dude great video, fail videos can be some of the most enjoyable not all about catching fish, it's about getting out in the wild and enjoying it.

[@AkRambler]

Showing failed missions let us ALL feel like Huge fly fishermen. Thank you for the failures as well as the successes.

[@wesleywillard]

Yes!

[@jtobiassmith]

Definitely like hearing your thought processes and rationales on things you change when the fishing is tough.

[@1776PonySoldier]

I don't know man. This wouldn't count as a fail in my book. River trip and a hike in the mountains? Huge win imo.👍

[@mattachtemeier5296]

Haha the way you admitted to resorting to a Wollybugger truly captures the spirit of what it mean to be a huge fly fisherman

[@1990mbreen]

The FFBI hat made this awesome video 100% more awesome

[@fishinwithmikey6690]

I just love any content you post man. You’ve turned a huge bass fisherman into a full time fly fisher guy I try but hey. I can almost say I’m a huge fly fisherman!

[@lucastans2571]

I appreciate these videos! Keep them coming! It's helpful to hear how you proceed with your plans when they aren't working.

[@richardfrench1515]

appreciate the honesty...see video clips of catch after catch...then I go out and lucky to catch two or three... and so the beauty of EDITING... but for a newbie.. good to know I am not alone.

[@MrRobDMarks]

This video was honestly super helpful for me to learn some strategies and lessons in patience because far too often, my fly fishing outings are fails

[@undergroundchuckeytennesse2526]

Hey, its better than being cooped up in an office! Enjoyed, thanks for sharing.... 11, 000 feet... you could have at least pretended to be breathing hard... dang man....

[@cliftonmcroy4567]

The segment that shows heavy construction equipment in the river brings up a question. Does that state have water quality standards for turbidity?

[@loetscherpeter4567]

"Catching any?" loved that!

[@mkanyuh]

Sitting down drinking a beer and fish are swimming every where...standup ad they are all gone...I don't get it.....ummmm....sit back down. From the looks of your shadow....yer stickin out like a trout fisherman standing on a rock. LOL great video

[@mercertevyn]

I enjoy your videos a heck of a lot more than your rowing! Thankfully you weren't in a drift boat. Keep up the great work and positive attitude.

[@travisrolando8205]

Stay HUGE as always Ben! Love the videos!

[@keithnavarro2930]

Awesome. By climbing on those rocks, you made my new (3 weeks old today) left knee hurt. Thank you.

[@farmerbob4554]

Don’t mind a fish less video at all. Lord knows I’ve had more than my share. Surprising that trout in an Alpine lake would hit a woolybugger but I’ve had success doing exactly that. One wouldn’t expect leeches or forage fish to be present but I guess cutthroat aren’t the most selective of game fish. I enjoyed the video even if you didn’t bring huge numbers to the net.

[@WhiteMambas]

Great stuff! Doing this you made many many people feel better by knowing that even huge fly fisherman sometimes can't catch a fish he sees :) Thank you!

[@jonasweathers8688]

You did NOT list tenkara pole under things I use ...dude Im dying 😂😂😂 Great vids Ben, stay HUGE

[@Ethan-qe8pe]

"catching any" to the excavator had me dying

[@tarpy07]

less than 10 seconds in on this video and i subscribed due to one line "im like a mounting goat". I just could stop laughing if this is how you open a video i need to watch more of these XD

[@geraldg7420]

I enjoyed that. I've had days when just being there was enough. I spent some time up in the Selway in Idaho. The alpine lakes usually didn't have any fish because they froze top to bottom in the winter. But, they sure were beautiful. As to the float; There sure was some beautiful water you flew through. That is the trouble for me when on a guided float trip. I want to stop and dredge all those great pools, and we just keep on zooming down. Frantically slinging at the scenery as it goes by. Like I said to begin with; I enjoyed that.

[@L0rd0fTh3N3rdz]

I thought fly fishing was supposed to be calm and peaceful. Liked and subscribed. Funny stuff.

[@kjellakjella]

Domb question, do you walk to lakes with waders and wadeing boots?

[@alexanderc988]

I just moved out of Colorado a month ago. I never got to fish a alpine lake I got to fish the south platte. But I normally fished these pond/lakes by my old house I am just a kid. And have you ever climbed the manitou incline? It is bad.

[@brentonsaks-rudd7332]

Fun video man! Just wondering why you don't bother for brook trout? Thanks man!

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

I have several videos with brook trout.

[@derekhallman9770]

the old rich guy J park float eh? caught my biggest CO trout out there. Great country.

[@eggdudeguy]

More rafting videos man, those are sweet

[@nahsud]

Set my alarm, absolutely worth it! Huge love

[@robertwilcken8431]

You looked more like me today :) Dry flies are my favorite also. I have yet to go to a high alpine lake. On the schedule for next year. Stay Huge Ben.

[@driftstone]

You're definitely supposed to go over the rapids sideways and then backward! 💯 true

[@NathanielDickison]

If you ever want to come out to washington and run some whitewater and get into coastal fish lemmie know!

[@victor.randolph]

Sorry for the newb question... but why don’t you want to catch a Brooke ?

[@JimmyJoyful1]

Ah I totally struck out yesterday so glad to see it isn’t only me !

[@aa-ron.]

Anybody know what kind of pontoon rafts they are fishing out of? Looking to become a HUGE fly fisher myself and this looks like a good size raft for two dudes...

[@jeremylee8958]

That ffbi hat is sick🤙

[@bryanlevesque1012]

“as soon as I stand up, there gone.” Typical Bigfoot issue. I know these things, I’m from Washington State. Blue Lake is my home waters BTW.

[@joeg5414]

I once dropped my pipe in the river and didn't know it until I went to get it. I was highly annoyed. About an hour later I'm wading along making my way back to the car and sitting in about 2 feet of water is my pipe! I wasn't even looking for it - didn't know where to start lol.

[@Charsept]

Hell, most the time I go fishing I hardly catch anything 😅

[@kymerdeth]

Hey, your in a kataraft in first part, I've seen your raft setup but haven't seen this raft in vids, I'm trying to figure out which I want to go with, I'm a ww kayaker, have 3 single person katarafts, but want to step it up to 3 person, mostly one person fishing, but the ability to take 2+1 on oars. Thinking 14' or even 16'. Your thoughts in what you like dislike of katarafts over raft?

[@Hftimes2]

I’d like to see the failed trips. Only because I can relate to that more. lol

[@sylvifox6868]

Sunday night that’s extra huge

[@billyeastman7144]

Question?!?! What you got against Brook Trout?

[@scottfuhrer7488]

Ben, You are so F-ING KOOL Love the boat videos catch or not. Thank you.

[@imnotbinky]

I enjoyed this video quite a bit.

[@johnathonarnold9070]

That heavy equipment in the river made me do a double take.

[@stonefly69]

FlyFishers: always remember the two basic rules of catch-n-release: 1. Leave the fish in the water and 2. Don't handle the fish. An underwater camera helps with pictures when you leave the fish in the water and a Ketchum Release type device helps to release the fish without ever touching it. Tight lines!

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

ComMentors: don’t believe everything you read on the internet, especially in KZbin comments. It is possible to handle fish safely v

Best fishing channel on KZbin, not even close. TIGHT LINES!!!

I like the failure too it make us human. Was great video!!!!

[@MyPancho1]

As it happens... I am known widely for having Mad Skillz when it comes to failing hard on fishing missions... Hey hand me another larruping Pearl.... I'm on it! Thanks

[@ebenmayer2586]

It's a crime not to watch this on monday😳

[@tinoyb9294]

That's what I'm talking about. Bust your hiney into an alpine lake and still refuse to go ugly.

[@pfgeddes]

This is an awesome video! Givr!

[@danjohnson1809]

That is quit the 1 dollar foam trucker cap!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

There not fails there adventures, hiked to Blue lake in mid August one year with my girl friend to show her some nice cutthroat trout fishing . It was still frozen, didn’t bring my auger along :-(

[@MrStyamamoto]

You need a Huge Skunk hat for sale in your site

[@tronner_the_awesome]

Failed missions are great. Makes me feel better. Not that I am better, I'm still worse - waaay worse.

[@jessepyle5409]

Man if you want more failed fishing videos contact me!! I did have an awesome week in Summit county last week and one great day on the Arkansas on the way home. Other than that though.....😂😂😂 I am a Huge fan and huge fisherman!!

[@milanoman19]

It's funny when you know that this is not Blue Lake nor in the Gore Range 😂🤫

[@troutman1951]

Loved it!

[@stuartlowe2280]

Kapam kapam!!🤣

[@georgepretnick4460]

We are well aware of your 'strong opinions'. If some comments are 'strong opinions' that are contrary to your strong opinions, you'll understand. Like that float toy you call a boat. It's not a boat. It's a beach toy.

[@loosieclocker]

Nice hat

[@Mike-ck6yk]

"Wanna come with me?" LOL. Thanks for the beautiful scenery and fish!! Cross their eyes...

[@gregsage1605]

If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your thing.... (Sums up my season).

[@AndyStJean-bj8mj]

I wish you caught more fish in this video

[@unfitforpurpose6422]

Why is it that all the fly fishing videos coming out of the states always has small fish..do your trout suffer from lack of food or some sort of short person syndrome

[@derekhallman9770]

hatchery put and take agricultural mentality and management to our fisheries instead of a biological approach.

[@cosmiccharlie8606]

With as much fun as its to see you catch fish its good to see you not catch thanks for your time

[@bigbodyalan7054]

Stay huge

[@gnb3472]

It's ok Ben, I'm fat and out of shape too, no matter how many miles I walk to fish.

[@dennyterrio1942]

If it sucks you have a six mile excursion to get back to a regular toilet

[@grizzer9870]

Good thing it is OK to fail, that is what I do most of when fly fishing

[@erehwon777]

Feel free to post fail videos any time ... just don’t get too carried away.

[@JohnSmith-bn8hk]

"Also we only throw to meat"

[@silkyjohnson4208]

Shout me out in your next video bro I swear you will catch more fish, you're welcome.

[@Aartnak]

Hey buddy! Love the videos, subscribed a year ago... Me and my buddy are "HUGE flisherman" heading up to Pagosa Springs October 19th through November 3rd (we have a time share) if you want to come fishing with us, we'd love to have you join us... I don't know where you live but from the rivers I've seen on here it looks like you're in Northern New Mexico/Southwest Colorado... So if you're in the area and want to join us let me know buddy (I'll provide the beer) 😁

[@man-of-fish8165]
