I Caught an UNEXPECTED Species in This Micro Creek! (Tenkara Fly Fishing)

[@maggiesfarm7970]

This is great!!!!

[@Droptineful]

Great video!

[@TheFishingNomad]

I don't even watch your videos for the fish, I watch them for the beautiful scenery. You always seem to find the most beautiful places to fish.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks, I try! I'm driven to find the most interesting and beautiful places to fish 😁

[@flyfishingwestvirginia]

Awesome video brother!

[@bradrtorgersen_videos]

In the years I have fished Utah waters, I've still never hooked into a tiger. Tons of rainbows and cutthroats, and even some browns, and a tiny handful of brookies. But never a tiger.

[@TenkaraAddict]

The key is to fish little creeks that flow into lakes/reservoirs that tigers have been stocked in. I've caught tigers in probably 6 or 8 Utah creeks that way.

[@keithstewart2639]

I've never caught a tiger hope to soon

[@tinoyb9294]

Amazing the size of the fish when they don't get hammered.

[@JohnCallender]

I like it when you make a point of returning a fish to the pool you caught it from. Not everyone would do that. 👍

[@georgepretnick4460]

Be careful where there are lots of berry bushes. Birds like berries. Rattle snakes like birds.

[@TenkaraAddict]

I encounter rattlesnakes occasionally. Never had any issues with them.

[@bobcatethan8919]

Such amazing scenery

[@c.p.1688]

Great video. Thank you! I really like how you were putting the fish back into the pools you got them from!

[@TenkaraAddict]

I do try! Thanks for watching.

[@skiddyfishing]

If you want more tigers I have a great spot here in Utah where you can catch hundreds among a few Splake as well. Very creeky. Great video.

[@sullivanivens4387]

Wild tiger trout, you don't see that every day!

[@TenkaraAddict]

I don't think they were wild. I think they were stocked into the lake that this creek flows into.

[@robertnoel2363]

Man, i love your videos. Because of your videos i took up Tenkara last year, made my own flies, caught some great fish in some unsuspecting places. My daughter and i look forward every weekend for whatever your adventure might be. thank you for taking us along, and handing out the inspiration

[@TenkaraAddict]

That's great to hear! Big thanks to you guys for watching 😁

[@ryanmerrill4460]

I was there around the same time! Praise the moon 🌙

[@maxless6655]

Thank you for great videos. Greetings from Serbia.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks for watching! How's the fishing in Serbia? I've been there (I spent a couple weeks in Belgrade) but didn't fish there.

[@maxless6655]

@@TenkaraAddict Very hard to find tenkara supplies. There is no tenkara shop or website in all Balkan (Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Croatia...). But the fishing is great.

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Great little stream to fish! I'm planning to get out all spring to Tenkara Northern AZ. Nice tiger trout!! Such great markings.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Sounds awesome! I've fished a couple of Arizona creeks but not enough. I've got to get back there. Thanks Brian!

[@savvasefsef]

Awesome!!!😊😊😊... many times we get skunked but then comes that one time, full of surprises to elevate our spirit and mood,cheered us up!!!!

[@TenkaraAddict]

Exactly!

[@palscanley]

this creek is truly amazing, that 10incher and the number of tigers,just a scene out of paradise!

[@MrRourk]

Question do you think Tenkara will ever be accepted in America? It's been so many years since I bought my first Tenkara rod in 2009 and I almost never see anyone else out fishing Tenkara.

[@llorylloyd]

Always so relaxing watching these.

[@bobcatethan8919]

OMG wild tiger trout is an amazing catch!

[@clydeshope6942]

Another awesome video well done some really nice fish

[@owenmiller9906]

How fun. Some of the most surprising fishing for me has been on tiny creeks you wouldn’t expect to hold fish. I caught 10 rainbows including a 10” on a 20yd section of tiny creek in Idaho next to a remote forest road. That was some of the most fun I’ve ever had using a Tenkara rod.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Sounds like my kind of place!

[@owenmiller9906]

@@TenkaraAddict Next time you’re near Boise let me know. Would be thrilled to show you a few places.

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Very neat! Don’t know how you find these random creeks, but what an adventure!

[@TenkaraAddict]

I spend a lot of time looking at maps and figuring out where I haven't fished yet 😁

[@rodneybroome486]

Tristan, great job, thanks for showing us this great little creek. I have noticed that you walk in the creek a lot in your videos, could you please tell us what boots and waders you use and how you rate them. Thanks, Rod B

[@TenkaraAddict]

I use the Redington Benchmark boots. I hate them. They don't stick well to slippery rocks. I don't remember if I was using waders in this video or not, but when I do wear them, they're the Chota Tundra Hippies. Great hip waders.

[@jamesgaul3544]

Beautiful little creek!!

[@brianferguson9483]

Seems like a top 3 creek to me

[@TenkaraAddict]

It was pretty great!

[@teslah2997]

I just love watching you fish, Tristan. You are so good at it, and so exuberant.

[@TenkaraAddict]

I still get excited every time I catch fish 😁

[@VUclear]

Thank you. Most other fly fishing videographers waste time on Narcissistic face time, not to mention BAD music! Yours are humorous, entertaining, and informative--with no extra crap.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks! Yeah, I make the kinds of videos I want to watch, and that doesn't include music or anything like that.

[@richardsager7144]

One of a kind find, God blessed you on this. great video! See you buddy…

[@larrybeavens7580]

Great video Tristan…three species, including a 10” rainbow, out of that tiny little creek? Unbelievable. Thanks for allowing an old man tag along with you to places I can no longer get to. Great stuff! 👍

[@TenkaraAddict]

Crazy, huh? Thanks for watching!

[@tenkaraintheiowadriftless]

The sort of creek that is perfectly suited for tenkara…and the feeding fish were a real bonus. Nice multi-species habitat, I’m sure those tigers were a big surprise. Thanks for sharing your experience in such a beautiful place!

[@TenkaraAddict]

Yep, they were a great surprise! Thanks as always for watching and commenting, Gary.

[@AllTackleAngler]

Rainbow trout and brook char can also hybrid and are known as cheetah trout. There is a chance that if browns are absent, then the hybrids may have been cheetahs. Thoughts?

[@TenkaraAddict]

The lake this creek flows into has tigers, so I see no reason why the ones I caught wouldn't be tigers too. Thanks for watching!

[@wilbertolugo8700]

Awesome fishing love the small creeeeks tight lines always

[@jacksoni349]

Do you have a recommendation for a sub $50 starter rod?

[@caguas97]

A Tiger Trout that small must be naturally-occurring. They don't stock them that small, and they certainly don't stock that particular creek.

[@Bneumanns124]

Very strange to catch that many tiger trout and no browns though…

[@caguas97]

@@Bneumanns124 agreed. But looking at the 2023 DWR Stocking Report, they don't stock Tiger Trout in Duschene or Uintah counties smaller than 8 inches... sometimes 10 inches, though there are exceptions. I would be interested to know which lake this was, and whether these were just incredibly rare Tigers that occur naturally, or if they were incredibly improbably stocked trout that made their way up the creek for some reason.

[@fishfoolishness4222]

Tiger trout are put in lakes to try to control sucker populations. They are hybrids that can not reproduce so obviously they do stock them in all sizes. They do get very large in lakes with lots of suckers.

[@jbreezy93.]

@@caguas97 Anecdotal, but here in AZ we also have small creeks with brooks and browns. The naturally occurring tiger trout are so rare to find, but one was indeed recorded this year within a feeder creek to one of our stocking lakes. To see multiple fingerling tigers caught here was really amazing

[@TenkaraAddict]

Utah does indeed stock fingerling tiger trout throughout the state. The lake that this creek flows into was stocked with them, so I'm guessing that's why they're in this creek.

[@fishingthelist4017]

Maybe there are Brown Trout in the lake that spawn in the creek?

[@TenkaraAddict]

Very well could be!

[@blueridgeflyguy9551]

Another great video!

[@pentafishing]

A micro creek, a lot of fun!

Nice Tiger

[@robertkemp622]

Difficult little creek. Skinny fish, hard fish lives.

[@TylerCampbellOutdoors]

Enjoyed the video. Just began trying tenkara fishing this spring. Our local streams mainly have bass and bluegill (in Ohio). Any recommendations for fly? Hoping to get out to some other locations soon. Thank you for sharing.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Literally any tenkara-style fly will work on those guys. Have fun!

[@oldgold5848]

So with the Tigers in there there must be some browns? Or have they been stocked as fingerlings?

[@TenkaraAddict]

I believe they were stocked into the lake that this creek flows into.

[@Steelertubeyou]

Just an FYI, KZbin keeps unsubscribing me from your channel. This seems to happen all the time, and on lots of my subscriptions. I've been watching your weekly videos for some time now, and it's very annoying that KZbin keeps doing this, and it's unfair to people like you when they reduce your subscribers for no reason, while they base their pay scale on how many views and subscribers you have.

[@TenkaraAddict]

I have not control over that. Sorry it's happening!
