I'm falling in love more and more with these shallow rivers. So much fun to fish, so nice being out in the mountains, and good fish to be had. If you guys wanna see some more fly rod action let me know....it was super fun and I want more.

Confession - I look forward to your videos more than anything else in my daily. Your positive vibes have given a different outlook on life. Keep it up Matt.

[@SBFishing]

Thanks CT! Appreciate that man. Just stay as positive as you can in every given situation, and you'll be feelin the same my friend.

[@ChadLeton]

That Pelican is a sweet set up for the fishing in this video! Looked like a real serene place to fish. Action days like that are a blast. That Ven Rig was on point. Breaking off on the fly was a bummer. That was some distance at 11:58 :)

[@bradhenderson4949]

Wow it doesn't get much more beautiful than that river. I can't imagine fishing water that Gin clear. Great video once again Matt keep up the hard work. We all appreciate it

[@TravisJohnson-uw5fu]

Really like the drone shots! I don't think I could watch many other people just fishing, but your so chill and positive that its infectious. Keep it up Matt.

[@SBFishing]

Thanks Travis! I really appreciate that. I love what I do!

[@eddieluvski4499]

Great to see you are into smallies now bro. You are a natural at fly fishing! Smallies are basically warm water trout. They live and act just about the same. Be careful, fly fishing is addicting!😁👍

[@zubertish]

Great to see you try fly fishing. It's easier for the ladies since they already get the concept to NOT muscle the casts nor the hook ups. It's an art form that takes years and one is always learning, progressing. Keep at it and fly fishing will gift you experiences like no other. 👍😉😆🐟🐟🐟🌍🎣

[@nicopatch89]

Ok seriously wtf is going on with either the youtube algorithm or your viewers not subbing?? How are you still not at 30k already. Your edits are so fire!!! Love it

[@SBFishing]

Thanks Nicolai! I’m working on 40k though! I have 38k now!

[@HighPoleGuide]

B Roll 🔥 ! Smallie took the fruit loops & left lol. Thanks a ton for letting people know about the boat giveaway!

[@YaboiSpooby]

Water was super clear and beautiful, would love to fish that river

[@BlueRidgeMusky]

Heck yea doing it up on the fly rod !!! Strip set that sucker !! Haha great job man 🤙🏻

[@SBFishing]

I’m the worst 😂

Congratulations, beautiful fishing. Have a great week and lots of fish on the line. *Hug!* 👍😊

[@Fragniac]

Damn been waiting on this video refreshing all day sike nah dope ass video as always bruh

[@ppplll1122]

You were probably a little kid when I was stationed at Ft. Meade and "The Greaseman" was the morning DJ on DC101. I was there from 1988 to 1991. Good memories. I enjoy your show. Keep it up.

[@brandonvictor9388]

Your b-roll is so dope....that river is so awesome! You could wade that whole thing if you wanted to

[@RhinoVenturesOutdoors]

Wow, that river is beautiful. May have a little road trip in my future.

[@stephenkapushoc3201]

That soft plastic at 4:51 looks good. I need to give it a try, I am always throwing the same old tubes when fishing for smallies. I need something new.

[@BravoBassin]

Nice! Just got some small mouth action today myself on the James river! editing the video right now while I am watching your video lol!

[@ryanpainter7695]

Love this stretch of water, nice ledges primo smallie!

[@SattaBoysOutdoors]

For your first time fly fishing, you did awesome!

[@russnicholas6796]

Nice to see you trying the long rod at last fella but you need to be careful it's like fishing equivalent of crack ! Once you get a taste there's no looking back , it'll screw you up forever Cracking vid as usual ! And what a nice place to spend your day 👍👍👍

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video man lol those smallmouths look really fun to catch. cool location u were fishing at too.

[@DevinDFishing]

Dude that place is beautiful! For it to be a good fishery too makes it that much better. Good job killin em man 👍🏼 that smallie he caught at the end was a nice one!!!

[@nic85marty]

Watch Lefty Kreh’s lessons on fly fishing. Search lefty fly fishing on you tube and a series of his lessons will come up. Then go get a inexpensive 6 wt combo and practice in your back yard. You will learn how to cast in no time. It is a ton of fun. You could probably reach out to some of the rod companies and see if they will give you a pro deal since you have a channel. Love your channel, keep up the great vids.

[@ColoradoBass]

Gotta love them smallies!! I was catching some this morning!

[@matthewbean9645]

Lol, it’s north down the river...Out west anyways. Awesome work, keep it up.

[@Slormer]

That Pelican reminds me... Get on some bass with Cornell again!

[@Quagmire88]

If you want to fish some shallower rivers for decent smallmouth and possible Musky, come check out PA. The Susquehanna is big on smallmouth.

[@fiveforfishing2366]

Badass video. That place looks great.

[@FloridaBoyGrizz]

You did really good for your first time fly fishing man!

[@mnypit]

Shenandoah is my local river, those pools behind the ridges pay fish every trip I take. Spin fishing and fly

[@bradhamilton1126]

Seems like you’ve been having the same trouble as me with landing fish on the ned rig lol. I always get a ton of bites on them, and get good hook sets but they always spit it right at the boat! Anyways good video and keep up the awesome work throughout this challenge!!

[@2xBrando]

Did you not see those big fish swim by at 12:14 in bottom left corner turn brightness up if you dont see it Love the 30 day challenges keep it up

[@SBFishing]

So many catfish dude!!! Big ones too

[@moment1900]

Sick intro my dude!!! 🤙

[@SBFishing]

Thanks man!!

[@fishingmasterawesome]

Love fly fishing

[@SBFishing]

Can’t wait to do more of it.

[@gmanlipripper]

I gotta get you some of my mdtom lures Matt. and I got a few creeks we should hook up and fish. in your area. keep after them and be safe

[@billysmith3513]

Just subbed. Great video and well edited

[@jonesinforfun]

That boat ride would be so fun

[@ultralightfishingguy]

Fly fishing is the shit!

[@tylerweaver36]

Coincidentally, I’m fishing the river tomorrow, nice vid btw

[@TwinCitiesOutdoors]

A beautiful fishery!

[@Msufisherman]

Little tip all you need in a river like this is a ned rig you will catch numbers and big ones

[@MMARON1982]

What part of the shenandoah river where you on? The water looked amazing.

[@Paddydanks14]

Hey Matt, been subscribed since you had 2k, watched every video you posted since. It’s crazy your almost at 40k keep it up! Also I listen to DC 101 every morning too. Where you the guy that caught a tiger musky on a dead squirrel? Last thing I live for 30 day fishing challenges!

[@SBFishing]

Wasn’t me must’ve missed that! Thanks for the support!

[@maxj3163]

In Maryland and I got the truck ready where do I pick up my new boat!? Lmao 😂

[@xexoticx5748]

In austria it is normal catfish eating ducks - doves and even swans the realy big cats. If you feed the ducks behind my house at same time you feed the catfish with ducks. But we have one of the biggest growing catfish here silurus glanis and silurus gigantus

[@BroncoOn40z]

Hell ya Dc 101

[@jmvmike]

Not bad for the first time fly fishing.

[@jeffanddeb06]

Love me some EITM!!!

[@killakacti]

On your spinning setup where you using braid straight to lure or where you using fluro or mono leader?

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

Really want to do some smallmouth fishing

[@jonathanholler5149]

Where did you put in at? I live on the Potomac river in shepherdstown.

[@jeremysteward941]

Smallies!!!

[@johnsamsky6253]

There are 22 rivers in the U.S. that flow north, including the New and Shenandoah in Virginia. Just because they flow north does not mean they flow "up". If you're going with the current you're going downstream, no matter which way the river flows.

[@scottbenhart7852]

Hellllll yeaaaaaa

[@jordanbishop922]

12:21 look in the water

[@GabooNx]

Neko hook, snelled and nose hook a fluke..twitch twitch hold on...

[@mustardtiger_0]

Why didn’t you go to ICast?

[@SBFishing]

not cool enough

[@SBFishing]

I mean I'm not cool enough. I will definitely go next year!

[@mustardtiger_0]

SBFISHINGTV well I’m not cool enough either so take me with you lol!! Can’t wait till next time you fish Westbranch, that’s my favorite Muskie lake

[@ridinggravity703]

My cousin is an avid fly Fisher I can give u some tips if u want to keep going with it.

[@jeffanddeb06]

Go to Orvis and pick up an Encounter 9' (5 or 6 weight) $169 great rod to start with. Keep some smallie fly fishing vids coming. Awesome vid bud. If you do check out BigYflyco.com for flies. Always have great deals and fast shipping.

[@timothymcevenue]

sick

[@gilsolo6202]

Nice

[@SBFishing]

thanks gil! Nice to know you're still watchin

[@gilsolo6202]

Everyday homie

[@SBFishing]

Appreciate that my dude.

[@lizlovesfishing8688]

No shameless plug 😢. I was expecting Elliot to ask you if you'd take his kid fishing.

[@misterbud3332]

Talking about largemouth not coming back, buddy I had one come on and crush my Bangolure 3 times in about 6 seconds cause I kept missing the hookup. What can I say, when they want it they want it...

[@SBFishing]

I mean after hooking them, and fighting them for a little bit first to have them come back and eat immediately after. That's pretty rare!

[@misterbud3332]

So was it a hungry fish or just your astounding skill? Let's just say it was skill, right?👍

[@Nate-pu7iq]

And strip down and pull over to set the hook

[@ohbeazley]

at 12:15 are them all smallies

[@greggd6833]

Shoot me a message if you ever wanna try fly fishing or just fishing with a fly fisher. I'm in manassas and I fish out of a Jackson mayfly

[@HSisk-wk2nd]

went rafting on the Shenandoah … almost drowned

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Catfish eating ducks? Would have loved to hear that conversation. Why do I get the feeling that some idiot called and said something to the effect of, "We must kill the catfish to stop them from eating the cute ducks." Yeah, I can see you getting into fly fishing. Next time you see Sam ask him to try a fly for muskies. I've only tried the long wand once and wasn't very good with it.

[@SBFishing]

That’s the goal

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

This has been a good 30 day challenge. Would love to watch you freak with a big muskie on the end of a fly line. I think you and Sam have a good goal.

[@cesarruiz968]

Seeikeep upwithu

[@SBFishing]

Thanks Cesar!

[@thomasoutdoors8658]

Muskie fly fishing please

[@Nate-pu7iq]

To pop it you just strip it

[@SBFishing]

Learned that after 10 mins. 😂😂😂

[@Nate-pu7iq]

SBFISHINGTV if you would have used a small bug imitation like a wooly bugger or a little minnow imitation you deffinetly would have got a bunch, I don’t know why but a little flashy minnow fly will catch about anything even if it’s lock jaw on a traditional lure

[@guthy1675]

Ayoo

[@SBFishing]

Woooo

[@CULLCREWKENNELS]

First!!!

[@SBFishing]

ayeee

[@patchj3776]

Not exactly a fly on the thumbnail😂

[@stephenkapushoc3201]

First

[@SBFishing]

[@RuHunterX]
