The Kettle Creek Experience - INCREDIBLE PA Native Brook Trout

Having flown under the radar as one of PA's premier Wild/Native Trout Streams, my first experience on Kettle Creek was incredible. Fishing a section of this stream surprisingly near my family's hunting/fishing cabin, I managed to catch 7 or so Native Brook Trout up to approximately 13 or so inches (which is a NICE Native Brookie in PA). This was by far one of the most remote, beautiful, and productive stretches of PA Native Brook Trout water that I've fished in the great Keystone State. Lot's a wildlife (and bear scat...)

I'm a fond fly fisher. But I like your spin casting techniques. You're introducing me to a new world and experience through your videos. At the age of 61...I have learned to appreciate everything!

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Just happened to see your video. I was on Kettle two weeks ago and also caught some amazing brook trout! I was fly fishing and posted my video a couple days ago. It’s definitely a great stream for catching natives.

[@Brep17]

Welcome to Kettle! Great video, I just got into fly fishing in the last two years as well. MadRiverOutfitter KZbin videos are some of the best in learning to cast

[@GWrex1skip]

Awesome video!

[@evrencetin4824]

Great Video; I got to get up north so I can catch beauties like that

[@cheezhead6007]

I fished that area back in 2005 Potter County is God's country that water was perfect for spinning I need to head up there again

[@roncarlsonblackwolf2463]

Awesome video I enjoy watching it and I am a new subscriber

[@AlphaScouser]

Good video man, amazing what catch and release regulations do for the size of the fish right? Those were some tank Brookies for PA 👌🏻

[@tightliningmd]

Does a beat crap in the woods? Apparently so. Nice video. Cool to see all the brookies. Nice work!

[@cpsclan2447]

I’m camping here in a few days I’m currently camping at a lake And now I’ll be going here next Saturday Can’t wait for the fishing

[@tedyoh7394]

I 've been told to check the "freshness" of bear crap, you need to put about a tablespoon in your mouth to "see" if it's warm.

[@lensherlinski9273]

I very seldom watch spin casters being a fly fishermen for over 50 years, but this video got my interest. Your the first spin caster I have heard say he crimps down the barbs of his hooks. I like the way you handled those prized gem brookies in our NC streams. What else got my interest was the fact you said you were going to take up fly fishing, I have subscribed to your channel to keep up with your progress, and had to chuckle at your first outing with your Clearwater fly rod. May I make a suggestion? With the comments you have here, you should make the effort to answer each and every one only if to say thank you for viewing...Tight Lines...

[@TravelingTroutCo]

Thank you for the comments. I am attempting to handle trout better overall (wet hands, net, barbless hooks, ect). With a family cabin on a Pine Creek tributary, I love and respect this area. Interestingly enough, as we speak I am in Waterville with my first fly fishing video trip planned to the Pine Creek Gorge tomorrow. Fly fishing is difficult, but I look forward to the challenge. I genuinely appreciate your kind words, thank you.

[@anthonyfoulkrid908]

Are you dropping in at leidy by the bridge? Awesome beautiful video though great fish

[@troutmiester7441]

Great video, and first!

[@GWrex1skip]

What area were you fishing? Its very beautiful

[@seanoconnell2123]

Nice Trout! Nice Stream! Be careful of the 2 and 4 legged creatures! Open Carry PA!

[@jasonmausteller2488]

What bait were you throwing?

[@rodneyschneider1080]

The bears like the skunk cabbage when it is young like it is in your video.

[@mikeysfishingfuntime5070]

I heard kettle Creek is fly fishing only? Camping at old bull in April , was hoping I could use an ultra lite

[@TravelingTroutCo]

There may be sections of Kettle which are FFO, but definitely not the entire length.

[@Osnyfishingadventures]

Awesome video man! Always wanted to go fish kettle creek upstate! It’s a good drive to get up there but boy are them creeks loaded with native brookies! Tightl lines and keep up the great work!🎣💦

[@josephmannix5120]

I love your content I'm going to recommend you to all my freinds

[@TravelingTroutCo]

Thanks dude, I appreciate that!

[@bahamajim1998]

Bro .... U tweek?

[@jonathonkersting9043]

Kettle creek is amazing. Going up this week I hope. Let me know if you want help fly fishing. Been doing it for way to long haha. Below the dam is a great spot to learn/practice

[@barrydelmar6765]

FYI that bridge access from which you entered is posted land now

[@TravelingTroutCo]

Ouch. That's too bad. I'm hoping its not because of videos like this. Albeit there are other state forest access point (but harder to hike into), I didn't mean for that. Maybe change of ownership?

[@pauljabbour9792]

Nice video, BTW, where’s a bear supposed to shit?

[@05c4r6]

What County is Kettle Creek in?

[@TravelingTroutCo]

Potter I believe...

[@GWrex1skip]

Now wait! Don't trash my NATTY Light!

[@hillbillysportsman5818]

Been fishing for over 40 years trout, bass, whatever. I have been fly fishing for trout about two years. The only way to learn to fly fish is to bring Only your fly rod an just do it.

[@1pcmedic]

Its easier if you water ski the fish to the net rather than use the bungee method.....LOL Should have taken the stream back if you are worried about bear, they eat skunk cabbage. You should have looked around to see where they were feeding.....

[@thebesthunter69]

I was supposed to fish there 2 weeks ago and never got to go. Let’s go fishing together I can help you grow your channel!

[@user-nm3pl8vy3w]

Lock Haven doesn't want you here.

[@TravelingTroutCo]

Funny, I have family in Lock Haven. I've been going there for over 30 years. Sorry you feel that way. It's too bad I don't show my face or say my name because maybe I'd run into you.

[@TarzanNippleMan]

@@TravelingTroutCo As someone that's been fishing in the area for quite a while, don't listen to this weirdo. Much love brother keep up the good work!

[@user-nm3pl8vy3w]

Ya don't touch the fish

[@Couchgaming761]

like the video but 4 minutes of talking isn't interesting

[@007attaboy]

Learn to fly fish!!
