[@tylerfarmer8806]

Gonna need that explanation soon. That camper is awesome.

[@liammattson90]

Currently I live in southwestern Maine, always have, and I’ve been to Rangeley many times in my life, might go there again soon for some brook trout fishing. Sweet channel, Jesse! Subscribed!

[@johnloschiavo3531]

If you close your eyes and listen, it sounds like Tom Brady talking about fishing. You'll never un-hear it

[@brandom5138]

I think he looks a little like Tom Brady too when he was younger

[@geckogod4083]

Literally 😂😂

[@maniachill3069]

I live on this river further down stream, nice to see it get the respect it deserves.

[@rustydaley4302]

One of my favorite rivers to fish!

[@COB506]

Wow love that fly box man, looks good! Looking forward to the bird hunting video's, that's what I love to do the most here in New-Brunswick 👍

[@hookandreel2211]

Always A1 content Jesse love all your vids man!

[@TheMaineWoods]

You put out a lot of good information in these videos i learn a lot from them

[@INFJEmpath]

You should check out Tunk Stream campsite.

[@mmsfishing]

I was just fishing that spot on that river! One of my favorites for sure.

[@perrybrantley6188]

Enjoyed the video.

[@MountainStateAngler]

Good videos buddy. Fan of your personality and presentation. I hiked to 11k feet here in the Colorado Rockies for some beautiful Brook trout!

[@frankhunt5018]

Great stuff, thanks for posting.

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bigron8346]

Nice boxes. I was at the Kennebec river last weekend we did alright. Next time we are heading east.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Beautiful place

[@mattholden5521]

Fished this same river about a week and a half ago. Everyone was nymphing and catching fish while I was swinging Wet flies and streamers and getting skunked. Going to focus on nymphing next year in early and late season.

[@Rangeley]

Well done.

[@nickfr1997]

Just went skiing out around Rangley this last winter, the rivers and streams all throughout that area look prime for Brookies

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Great video Jesse a different truck!! I will be In that Same area the last week in September 2021 30 years of so in That area mostly fly fishing and some Deer hunting 🎏🦌 The Vermonter

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Those mini pats look amazing they would be killer out here in the PNW. I always enjoy your vids dude.

[@kbigfish1396]

Nice catch 👌

[@robertkemp622]

You do an excellent job with your videos, and you seem to be a thoughtful person. I'd really like to be one of your first clients when you begin guiding. It will be worth it.

[@coney207]

I love this.....I live in maine

[@Asymmetrical-Saggin]

Hope to see some new videos soon Jesse! fellow life long Mainer.

[@PopHebert-uh5zx]

First time visitor. Great video. Excellent commentary. I want in the worst way to fish the Rangeley area. Especially the Kennebago. 🐟 👴

[@markie871]

Ill be heading up there next week. Ive been looking to find a place to take my boys brooke trout fishing. We usually go through oquasic. We stay on the island in Rangely lake.

[@donutdude7561]

Amazing video. just checked out the website, it is soo cool how it is easy to navigate. I was wondering how did you create the website.

[@calebsrccrawlers]

I was fishing that river about 4 years ago with my little sister and this dude next to us had giant Brooke swallow his strike indicator and it was full on down pour too! And the guy landed the fish it was a 20+ inch brookie.

[@bobbygreen2291]

Jesse ,,look up the Davy knot ,,it’s not the strongest but it is the smallest knot on earth and very fast to tie

[@JP-dz7zu]

Hey bro, I’m gonna be in Acadia next week. Any good brookie streams in that area?

[@BraydonLemont]

😮

[@DaveHyde]

That’s my fav river ☺️

[@thehaymanator7320]

What river is it?

Brookies are good eating. While caribou hunting in northern Quebec, we caught hundreds of Labrador brook trout, and were surprised to see they were pink meat, instead of the off white color we usually see. I was born and raised in Vermont, and have lived here in southwest Indiana since 1966, I miss my trout fishing, I’d have to drive about an hour and a half to fish for rainbow trout here in Indiana.

[@jorent7613]

Great video! I’ll be up that way this weekend. Planning on any ruffed grouse videos this season?

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Thanks! Oh yeah plenty to come this eye at when the season starts anyway

[@mbassett221]

Another great video! Thank u :)

[@higgins8112]

I've been fishing up that way most my life while camping. I love getting on a wheeler and just hit Brooks ppl don't really get to. Hope I got my email to you in time sry I only get on KZbin CPL times a week.

[@TheNeoMetric]

It's frustrating being new and prospecting for productive spots. Turns out I was here twice this summer, in May and August, and I had no luck. One tree in the vid gave it away. The August visit I knew was too warm but also, it was raging and flooded. But, now I know where to start. Really, I want to blue line in the region for very small trout but information is not available.

[@CharlieGlover-gl3lj]

What river are you on?

[@crooz_beast4992]

Hey If you don't mind could you tell me this river name

[@WanderCampesino]

Hat! How did I miss the hat giveaway!

[@user-nm3pl8vy3w]

Wasa good hook up

[@peterplanz2310]

A few LDRs in this one!

[@BendItFishing]

Awesome video!! Was that filmed the day before?

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Thanks the day after actually

[@thomasgoldman7403]

Haha!! #1

[@jackstraw207]

Never seen that river so low.

[@dalerash6285]

I used to walk a small brook for about 3 miles for brown and brook trout in Vermont, Windsor Vt.

[@racerex340]

Hey Jesse, I'm curious as to what your take is on handling catch and release trout, especially Brook and Rainbows. I thought that it was universally accepted to avoid picking up any Salmoninae by the jaw or gill plate, but it was also drilled into me for years to never handle a trout with dry hands, and minimize handling them in general to limit inflicting damage to their protective mucus layer, as any spots with thinned / removed mucus layer will likely result in a fungal infection which can kill the fish. So, for me, it's always been fine net if possible, or gentle wet hands under belly and tail if necessary. Is this all still best practice? I've seen anglers picking up trout by the jaw like a largemouth, and I often seeing people picking up salmon by the gill plate even before they know whether t's a legal keeper size. Not that I have any issue with the methods I've been using my entire life, I'm curious if most of the anglers you know also do the same.

[@kevincraig6407]

I cringe everytime "most" of theese youtubers handle trout, wet your hands! Or just get a pair of hemos and don't touch them at all!
