Dave is a freakin bad ass. He talks to all of us like we understand what he is seeing but we have much to learn. I’m watching this video pumped as hell and wishing someday I can be as good and understand fly fishing like he does. I’ve been at this for years and I often have to go back to the basics to make sure I’m ok with my casting. I feel like this sport is a relationship between God, us, and the fish. And there are many signs in nature we often miss as a lesson to understand how the fish think. Keep up the good work because you both are the best I’ve seen!

Well... thanks for that. The kick with our channel is that I don't want people to feel postured nor spoken down to... nor that any of this is hard - it just takes time to understand what's happening, why I'm going at the fish the way I may or may not be. It's the subtle stuff in knowing fish behaviour and what we can get away with once we get to the intermediate+ stage. And, really, once at that stage and consistently so, there is little in the mechanics of fly fishing that separates anglers, it is far, far more to do with knowing fish behaviour and what you can get away with, when. Thank you for the kind words! Dave

If only 20”+ browns presented themselves that far away from structure in Wisconsin my tactics would change slightly. Slower movement upstream, spotting fish and very few casts between hook ups on quality fish is awesome to see, but I cannot duplicate. Browns here are almost exclusively so tight to timber, wedged in undercut or too deep to see at any time of day and any time of year. Post rain relaxes them from cover when sediments are more present but visibility is compromised and fish turn more blonde. You two are a great team and I’d say professionals at the sport. Excellent handling of fish as well. New subscriber.

:) Normally we'd reply by saying that we bet $10 that the trout in your waters would do as the fish in the video do... as there's a universality to trout behaviour and at some point in the season they'd do as the fish in the video do. And... if you had a fine gravel & sand stream they would do exactly as they do here because they couldn't do or be anywhere else. But then to compare your streams and ours in Alberta where the wood, undercuts etc reign supreme... well, that's a different type of stream to discuss altogether. :) The way these fish acted, well, they had nowhere else to go given the impacts of in-stream alterations, so to speak. :) Neat thing is just to look at the fish behaviour in this video in that regard. Welcome aboard :)

@@jensenflyfishing we often forget that these algorithms are driving what we see, do, and even our taste. I fish, but I video edit too and started going down that path, making faster edits. But, if you you really want to be informative and educational you have to have a patience, guided approach. The number of subs matters less now, than engagement (currently happening right here!), so you’ll have you’re audience. I love it, and it helps me work on healing my attention span really.

You guys are amazing!. I have many small creeks like this one around where I live (Ontario, Canada) and your video was really educational for me. I am in no way as experienced in fly fishing as you are so I will be trying these techniques in this upcoming fishing season which will be opening soon. Great video and great catches.

I'm pretty sure you would be surprised what you can find in this kind of a creek if you were to fish it electricly. I have witnessed that myself in a creek of similar size when we were catching fish for our hatchery. The mere fact that you can't see the fish and that it's shallow does not necessarily mean that there are no fish.
@jensenflyfishing
@jensenflyfishing Жыл бұрын
In many cases you'd be right except for this one. Literally the undercuts no longer exist due to a backhoe literally slicing the creek into a trench. The only hiding places are the downed woody debris... but that comes with this caveat: we fished this reach 3 times the past 6 months and engaged the EXACT same trout each time with only 1 trout outlier. In other words the habitat is as it is and allows only specific lies to occupy trout. At that there may yet be 1.3 or maybe 1.5x that number of fish, but the outlier would most likely be due to the transient nature response of summer warming movement from the top end of this stream out to the main river it flows into. Hope this makes sense.

As a mainland Aussie, I refuse to travel to NZ anymore. The selfishly myopic views, policies and actions of the land owners/managers, the local fishing fraternity and the authority will come back to bite them. In the meantime, I travel to Tasmania - it's far more to my taste, in that wonderfully and beautifully wild place.
