Wading a Rocky Clear Creek...

Another summer time creek wading day with a couple buddies, trying to get them on some smallmouth bass. Had a great first day wading then the second day kayaked up under a huge Tennessee waterfall.

This was a TON of fun thanks for taking us

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes sir, glad you got to make it

[@garyspangler5546]

Enjoy your youth young men! It is absolutely fun watching your video's. Reminds me of my younger days. Thank you so much. 😎

[@christianentertainmentoutdoors]

It's great to see you fishing with the young-uns, lol. Bless you, Brother.

[@kennythurston57.]

That water falls was awesome 👌 caught some nice smallies also. Thanks for taking us along and take care

[@maryannegreenslade78]

That waterfall was amazing, good fishing day 🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@ericharrison8950]

Wow, it's literally "peak" season for "Creek Fishing Adventures"! Went fishing today in my favorite local pond and caught many perch, 6 large enough to clean, but zero large-mouth bass. Been a tough year to catch bass this year for me. Had a great time as I fished 5:30 am to 8:00 am - enjoying the l-o-n-g days!

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

Love the waterfall very Beautiful 👍

[@synaptik111]

Wow, what impressive views! The waterfalls look amazing. Thanks for sharing your trip!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Anyone else been creek wading this summer?

[@CreekStumblin]

Heck ya!

[@blakemiller9037]

I wish I was bro 😢I had spinal fusion surgery about 2 weeks ago so I’ve been down. I haven’t waded a creek in like 6 years 😂 the creeks by me are loaded with creek chubs and rock bass that’s about it.

[@GoVentureTexas]

Absolutely!

[@juniorafry]

Oh yeah, jonesing to get back out there too.

[@bermchasin]

I think Im gonna go check out a small creek this afternoon around nashv. Its hot and low water but a stroll in the water seems like it might yield a fish or two.

[@JeffB1961]

WOOOOOW ! what a majestic water fall :)

[@randyblevins9489]

Looked like a good trip ! It was super that you took those young guys out with you and helped them learn some new techniques. They will have these memories for many years! That's why we all love your channel. Boy Howdy, when you fell, I think we all felt the pain ! We know because we've all been there, with scars to prove it ! I hope I haven't jinxed you, because I always try to say "always be careful" . Great view of the waterfall ! I was in Cookville on the 14th-16th. Family reunion in Smithville. Someday I hope our paths cross. Would like to buy you some Mexican food....... I think you MIGHT like that style of food ! 😄 Pap Blevins

[@jasond7978]

Wow, what a waterfall. That spot was awesome.

[@danflores8445]

What a great spot. I’m in my late 50’s and I grew up fishing creeks in central Tx. As a U.S. ARMY Retired Veteran, I fished all over the U.S. and I still love creek fishing. Thanks for sharing and Fish On!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Looks like a lot fun, I'm sure it felt good with it being so hot, a lot great catches, beautiful creek, thanks for sharing!🎣👍

[@christianentertainmentoutdoors]

That waterfall area is bloomin' gorgeous!

[@michaelfredieu-ec6we]

Good job on researching and putting these guys on some fish! You made their day! God bless! I'm moving to Arkansas from Germany and can't wait to get back to some creek fishing!

[@mikeboyce584]

Thanks to your experience and technique the reasons you catch a lot of fish. You have come a long way Pilgrim. God bless.

[@perrylongjr7478]

Great video, can’t beat wade fishing this time of year.

[@jimfenstermaker400]

Awesome smallmouth, keep catching and hopefully I'll be getting plenty of my own fish soon.

[@RichardKeith-l4j]

Wow, any day fishing like this is amazing! God's Blessings on Your Journey!😊

[@wrightackle1]

Very cool that you swapped outfits with your fishing partner. He just didn't have enough line on the spool and thirty pound braid is way too much. I am sure next time he hits the creek he will put the knowledge he picked up to good use. I love the creek wading vids. It was interesting that when I saw the notification it said uploaded 57 seconds ago. I thought dang I might be first to comment but eight people had already commented. You have quite the following.

[@jaredyork5166]

Awesome video. Beautiful smallies... woo love it..Fish on

[@machinaxarxes7646]

That 21:20 fish you caught was a take home fish for dinner one that size hot damn.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Amazing looking creek buddy!!! Glad you weren't hurt by falling!! That part scared me for a second

[@brianathern9154]

Glad you got Elijah and Aaron out for some creek fishing. That place looked amazing again. I'm a sucker for waterfall ambiance. Blessings brother

[@The_Riddlesmith]

Thanks for the video! You're the reason im out fishing every day, despite my hectic schedule. You got me hooked on using smaller bait and lures. I always look forward to seeing that you've uploaded something new. Glad that spill wasn't worse.

[@panthers2029]

You really need to take your kayak out the Illinois river around the northwest Arkansas Oklahoma border. There are public access points spread out along the river. The best way is to float from one access point to another. Lots of big smallies, some spotts, and largies. Me and my friends have caught tons of bass over 2 lbs just this year. If you just want to wade a lot of the river is shallow enough to do so. They fight super hard in the current!

[@Sigma_3213]

Yes there are some awesome places in Tahlequah Oklahoma. My profile picture is a 5 lb smallie I caught in early march under a bridge right outside Siloam springs in Arkansas

[@mcfaddenoutdoors4640]

I have been watching your videos for probably a year or two I have really enjoyed them and I absolutely have a lot of love and respect for any man that gets out in public and brings up God more people need to be like that Jesus is the only way

[@christianentertainmentoutdoors]

I'm loving watching you fish that Fenwick. I own their Eagle in an UL. It's the best rod I own. I'd love to have another in medium, but they are literally double my budget at this time. But I can live vicariously through you by watching you fish that HMX, lol.

[@clearlycaribbeanreb2895]

Awesome to see how your channel has exploded since I first started watching it way back when. You’ve got the life brother!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

I appreciate that!

[@MegaBassbite]

Do you want to stop falling on rocks glue some carpet on the bottom of your shoes some old shoes and you'll never slip on rocks again... the green indoor outdoor carpet works good

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video looks yall has a blast fishing it

[@markbrooks5278]

Id like to see you and Richard Gene team up!!!that old man has forgot more about fishin than most of us will ever know!!

[@3LLOut]

I have a couple of creeks I like to wade in Mid Tn which are cold, spring fed waters. It feels great to wade them on those 90+ days!

[@GoVentureTexas]

Thanks for making my favorite form of fishing absolutely cool. Just placed my order for a cap, shirt and sticker as well. Adventure on!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@flolyfer]

Happy Friday everyone!!!

[@BoNdzY]

We had an awesome time fishing with you!! Creeks are a little bit of a learning curve for me but enjoyed trying your tips and tricks.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

we had to put in some work but glad it paid off

[@jeffandtammyharris7988]

That reel can handle a dunking. Looks like a Stratic fl, I use one on the surf here in Texas. Your content is great and I mostly watch you and Chris.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Your right it’s a great reel

[@MatthewEdson-fx1xe]

@@CreekFishingAdventureswhat’s that reel called??

[@melbrooks100]

I went yesterday. Tore up the redbreast and got a nice spot and some small redeyes. Went early and got out before it got too hot. Been in the 90’s down here in SC.

[@leemowers9395]

Thanks for sharing, John

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Nice video John. I plan on doing some wading in the upcoming week. Hope I can get on some good smallies as well. 😊

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i still want to meet up for those pickerel

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

@@CreekFishingAdventures Right! I will go check out that location and contact you within the next week or so.

[@creedadams]

love the vids bro, i fish and wade creeks here in middle Tennessee and love watching your vids to get inspiration for baits and spots!

[@xSlumV]

Love the content! God bless you!! The waterfall was a beautiful sight!! …I want to start creek fishing but don’t know how to go about it!!.. Next trip can you use the BFS setup!?

[@zachturner3443]

Awesome video man 🔥🔥🎣🎣

[@MushyFishing]

Love your vidio, rod and reel looks compact size for fish catch

[@bayman49]

that waterfall is super cool...

[@adammcgeorge3538]

Well since you took my boy Elijah fishing, I guess I had to subscribe ;) nice work on some pretty streams, the boys really enjoyed it!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Awesome thank you!

[@swiperrt]

Our Bass season opens today, here in Zone 16 Ontario CA. Had some rain yesterday so the river may be blown out. Going to give it a shot anyways. 🎣🤘

[@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714]

Great video! My last time out I took a fall on some rocks and cut my hand on one! Hahaha definitely happens

[@agib1368]

I’ve been wade fishing a few times already. My absolute favorite way to fish. It’s how I learned to fish

[@thekernal0318]

Man I’m so jealous of the smallmouth fishing I’m ready to move to Tennessee

[@backroads_gb]

relatable content when you fell in the creek XD

[@williamandrews4251]

Jon,how about trying a small Rapala for those smallies chasing minnows.l am no expert,just an idea.

[@Paul.Casteel]

Them smallmouth fight hard.

[@williamandrews4251]

30-pound test seems a bit extreme.What pound test are you using? You would make a great guide.Have you ever considered it?

[@stonefly69]

How many knew John would start with the hellgrammite???? Yuppers!!!!!

[@Mark-rg1qh]

I live about 10 miles from this spot, I wade fish where you put in quite often.

[@Astigos]

Please do a flea market challenge! Try to find old fear at a flea market or yard sale and catch fish!

[@NickAshmore-ze3yd]

Yes turkey creek in Joplin mo 0:49

[@davidarwood6264]

Maybe Turkey Creek in Morgan County but I don't think so.

[@unf8able01]

Great video. What would be a good jig head for plastics between 1.2 and 2 inches?

[@canebrakerelics9391]

Have you tried felt sole wading boots for slippery rocks? I bought a pair recently but haven’t tried them yet. My legs were scabbed and bruised from falling the last time I waded for smallmouth.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i have felt boots but they are heavy, they do grip better

[@dougaranda6187]

Do you use actual wading shoes, or just old sneakers? I would have to use a walking stick if I try it. Those waterfalls are beautiful.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

usually water shoes, columbia water shoes also just got some crosskix

[@colbyhuntarfish]

Just curious what backpack you use and also your footwear? Thanks

[@fishing4claimers0622]

nice little outing John. Thse smallies look so healthy in that creek. Thanks for sharing my dude i really enjoy your adventures. Quick question...best artificial bait for crappie in a small lake? im heading up to my sisters next weekend for like 4 days and want to target crappie. problem is there are tons of blue gills and largemouths. thanks man ..your buddy Gerry from NJ.

[@adammcgeorge3538]

At 12min it looks more like swimming than wading ;)

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

haha, might of been a little deeper than expected

[@adammcgeorge3538]

@@CreekFishingAdventures at least he wasn’t in waders, filling up your waders is not a good feeling at all ;)

[@rexbronzbackhero2373]

John great creek fishing video. Will you tell us and me what kind of hooks works best for hellgrammite and what weight size were you using at this video? Be careful on the rocks hope ur knees are okay! Hey thanks again for this beautiful Tn creek outing till the next one!

[@carsonw7229]

Awesome! Which creek is that?

[@cachemasterT]

Great video brother. Get you some felt bottom boots or some felt soles to add to your shoes. Makes an amazing difference on those slimy rocks. Romans 8:18

[@TheHemiphil81]

I have a big creek near me that I fish. I have caught small mouth and large blue gill and big red eyes.

[@NetNathan1]

which freshwater fish do you think tastes best?

[@brianmartin5044]

I noticed you do some Oklahoma fishing, know any decent bank spots around central OK?

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

I thought that Fish at 10:24 was WAY bigger than it was!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

You know how those smallies hit

[@tylobylo8310]

@creekfishingadventures I want to start using spinnerbaits are there any you recommend? Preferably from Lurenet, lurenets awesome lol bless you my friend

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

war eagle ones are my go to, 3/8 or 1/2 oz just keep it simple. white or chartreuse

What hook are you using with the Nikko Hellgramite?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

that one was the bass pro tungsten offset 1/16

[@juniorafry]

@CreekFishingAdventures thanks brotha. I love using nikko hellgramites. Been smashing with choppo 90s also

[@BodeKissner12]

best ultra light setups on a budget 70-100 bucks

[@adrianthayer4591]

Carry a staff man. Put a lanyard on it to hook to your belt. Quit falling.

[@ronjones842]

John, do you get run by property owners much? I live app 15 miles from crazy horse on the Buffalo river in Tennessee. Lot of small creeks but property owners will not let you get on their land. If you go in where you have access , you will be walking on their property. It makes fishing the creek not worth the trouble.

[@franchise3363]

The Niko hellgramite 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Hey, no one said there would be math today. 45° to 90° 🤦🏽‍♂️
