Rainy Day Mayflies - Fly Fishing Rainbow & Brown Trout During the Pale Morning Dun Mayfly Hatch

Fly fishing for trout and mayfly hatches go hand in hand. At first blush, new fly fishers might think that tiny insects like mayflies can't possibly catch big brown or rainbow trout. Nothing can be further from the truth. Learning the various mayflies and their life cycle and habitat preferences, fly fishers can be extremely successful catching large rainbow and brown trout during mayfly hatches. In this video we focus on spotting rising trout, sighting trout holding just subsurface, and focus on great approach to the water and targeted casting during a mayfly hatch.

Thanks!

I'm not trying to cause conflict but 31K subscribers and 4K + views and only 60 patrons - really people, these are hands down some of the highest quality most informative videos produced out there. for the amount of time that we all spend watching these - everyone is going to be incredibly disappointed if they didn't support their efforts while they could - stop being cheap - flyfishing is an expensive sport - if you are flyfishing, then you can surely support their efforts before they disappear or go to a format that you will wish was cheaper when you could support or afford it. Wiser to maintain what you love and enjoy then take it for granted. just my $0.02 or should I say $5.00.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you for as you have shared. Hopefully the support continues to grow and develop. We certainly appreciate all the support to date as it takes a LOT of time and $ to bring these around to the full productions. The two of us certainly work 6 or 7 days a week and usually 15 to 18 hrs a day on keeping everything going at the levels we've established :) Thank you for supporting us! Dave & Amelia

[@michaelstagliano2253]

Hey Amelia and Dave. New to the channel. LOVE this video. What water are you working? Where are you?!? I have to bring my Dad and brother out there! Thanks for the high quality filming and instruction. On ti the next video! Haha. Hope I get to bed before 2am 🤣

[@jensenflyfishing]

Welcome! Great to heave you join our channel and join in :) We are in Alberta, Canada. Really many of our rivers from the Red Deer R to the Bow and south and west fish similarly here. Hope the binging didn't keep you up too late ;)

[@michaelstagliano2253]

Thank you! Love it. Already text my fam about a trip up there next year. 🥰

[@manifestgtr]

It’s always hilarious to see rise footage with their little faces popping up out of the water “boop…boop…”

[@jensenflyfishing]

I get what you're saying. "Now you see me, now you don't!" 😄

[@bssaassin1900]

6yrs in a row! Seems like spotty is a gullible fish. Wonder if he has a mate named dottie

[@jeromedwojak918]

Love the beautiful video, the spectacular trout rises. Those little morsels of may flies contribute to some beautiful takes. Thanks for sharing with us your experience on the water!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thanks for your appreciation and for checking in again with us here. There sure is something so beautifully about watching those fish surf the subtle waves of the seamlines.

[@teamlosi11]

5 seconds in and taking a moment to say thank you guys for being true to your passion and putting your heart into every video.

[@jensenflyfishing]

You're welcome Joel! Thanks for seeing and appreciating what we do. Without passion it's hard to stay keenly interested in the amazing places we find ourselves.

[@FishingWithDamon]

Trout fishing always reminds me of my grandfather 😢 he taught me how to fish when I was 4 and only 12 short years ago he passed away but he made me the fisherman I am today and fishing KZbinr!

[@jensenflyfishing]

well keep at it and keep the perspective of time - both in his passing and in what you can accomplish on YTube :)

[@Riverbugger]

Excellent video! 5-1 ratio eh Dave. Amelia did an excellent job on all those fish and your camera work was top notch! Your brownie at the end was incredible! Great fly pattern as well!! Thanks for the great time. Felt like I was on the river with ya!!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Always just go with the hot hand! But then was it the hot hand on rod or camera? When you see it as a toss up between rod and camera you get what our values are ❤ love the being out there in these events 😊

[@jp-pesca]

Fantastic video once again and the prof that conservation works. Great job you two💯💯💯💯

[@jensenflyfishing]

It sure is a positive when you can go back to a section of river and catch the same fish a number of years running. Thank you for watching:)

[@FlyFishMike_]

Wow! An absolute clinic Amelia & Dave. So great to see some higher water in our rivers. Well done! PMD mornings?

[@jensenflyfishing]

Beautiful water and fish... and it's coming back around again soon! :)

[@angiekelley693]

That last fish was a big brown! 😳 Worth crossing the river to get in better position I would say. Do the browns favor different parts of the run than the rainbows?

[@jensenflyfishing]

Definitely worth going at that one from that side, based on the best drift. It's not an absolute, but browns for the most part are lazy, so they quite often favor the tail-out or more edge water. The slower seamlines versus the main, slightly faster seamlines is where they typically like to call home.

[@alexsoukoroff9409]

One of the best runs out there. Nice to see "speckle jaw" again too. He has lived in that run forever

[@jensenflyfishing]

amazing how variant his weight has been - a perfect representative of the flood/drought cycle on that one

[@Chrisowen1948Newbury]

Have to say you make beautiful fly fishing videos, I was mesmerized watching the trout eating PMDs, thank you, tight lines

[@jensenflyfishing]

Nature has a way of sharing its beautiful side and we love to be there to capture it:) Thank you for your appreciation of our work.

[@roderickcampbell2105]

Great country, great water and great fish. Oh, toss in the camera work and music. Thanks very much.

[@jensenflyfishing]

We're glad you enjoyed it:)

[@marcharley6465]

Your knowledge of the fish and their environment, your skill and enthusiasm are always a joy to behold. Thanks !

[@jensenflyfishing]

It encourages us to hear this and hopefully it inspires you to get out and find a hatch of your own to enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to watch it:)

[@djTorchLive]

"Nothing too Big" 😅 If I hooked something that big I'd have a parade lol Gorgeous Fish!

[@jensenflyfishing]

size is always only relevant to where we fish, isn't it? A 14" N Carolina brookie would get the tickertape parade! A 4lb brown in New Zealand would be a "shake it off so I can go after the actual fish" to some Kiwis. All in perspective! :)

[@djTorchLive]

@@jensenflyfishing excellent point! I fish heavily pressure streams in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I've caught a lot of trout but they are "minnows" in comparison to your fish. Is there certain water conditions one should look for to grab larger fish in frequently pressured streams?

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@djTorchLive usually where the waves turn to chop/dancey water or 2/3 through the out-turn bank :)

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Another awesome video! Thanks for sharing this great trip and information!

[@jensenflyfishing]

You're absolutely welcome. Thank you for watching again:)

little bit to much conversation , take a example of the language of fishes.

Love finding the engaging fishing! 😊

[@rookstorm1]

Why do people cast with their right and hand over rod to left to reel is beyond me?

[@jensenflyfishing]

have you ever looked at the rod tip loops in the line of someone reeling on their non-dominant hand?

[@rookstorm1]

@@jensenflyfishing not a clue what you mean

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@rookstorm1 if you look at people that reel on their unnatural side you'll see a pulsing of the rod tip that bobs and places uneven pressure into the line during the fight that the fish responds to. By reeling on your dominant/natural side you avoid that. It shows up unmistakably in high frame rate video and can cause far more issues in the fight than it's worth. Switching hands to reel as natural, on the other hand, causes zero issues. Cheers

[@shanecouch8328]

Hey?

[@jensenflyfishing]

?

[@jonpovey6301]

Right handed with the rod and right hand reel retrieve? Seems odd to keep swapping your rod hand so you can retrieve line.

[@keithelliot3772]

That is how my father fished and seemed to be the way it was done back then, seems strange. I fish right handed and retreive with the left, makes more sense to me. Of course some people must prefer it that way, maybe more comfortable for them!

[@jensenflyfishing]

if you try to do something not natural or force something, you get errors. When we reel with our left hand it causes bobbing motions at the rod tip and that in turn causes issues in the fight and the trout's response. In taking ownership of that, we do what is smoothest and easiest and most effective for us. It matters not one iota in the result. Cheers

When you've been doing it ALL YOUR LIFE = not strange at all. Those who haven't been doing it since childhood are more prone to industry marketing claiming what THEY do is God's wishes...
