@@WhereFishLive I have a feeling this fall is going to be really good over there. With the new business, I'll be lucky if I can make it out that way. Thank you for watching and for the comment. 🙏🏾

Thank you! Thank you! It's so much fun haha. Can't wait to do it again. I haven't fished much this year. Only a hand full of times. I'm hoping to get out soon. As the weather gets cooler, fish start to get active, and you don't have to worry about water temps being too high. How about you? Getting out much?

@@FreeFormFlyFisher Yeah I’ve gotten out a lot more times than last year. I just went to Yosemite and got some dry fly action. I’ve also been doing some steelhead fishing on the American near my house. It’s really easy and the fish are big.

@@thecalfisher I’m heading to Yosemite in two days! Any flies and stretch of water you recommend?

@@brandonsor9949 Tuwalumne meadows is my favorite. Dry flies for browns and brookies in the meadow, then rainbows in the river near the tuwalumne meadows lodge.

@anatoliyzong I have not fished the inlet before. But looking at the map, I bet there are some monsters up there. Right now might be a good time to go too. If there are browns they maybe moving up stream to spawn. Hamilton Branch is such a good stream to fish. I haven't fished up stream in years but I go every year to fish the inlet. I love that place even tho it's combat fishing lol.

@anatoliyzong yes. It's way above Slab Creek tho. This was right next to Hwy50. I haven't fished there since summer/fall of 2016 when this was recorded but I would catch 30 to 40 little ones all day long. Back then I was using my phone on a tripod to record haha. It's good to look back at the old videos from time to time. Thanks for watching.

@@FreeFormFlyFisher your channel is great

@anatoliyzong thank you 🙏🏾

@caleshtcincredibles thank you and I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

@@sonnybedez7040 streams that have this much flow??

@sonnybedez7040 this particular steam is about 4.5 hours north from Arnold.

@@FreeFormFlyFisher yea in some spots yes. But it’s not easy to get to. It’s all bolder’s but you can still fly fish off it

@sonnybedez7040 nice. Any browns? Haha I love the browns.

@@FreeFormFlyFisher at times yes but mostly rainbows

@Swordfishpro360 on google maps 😂 that's where I find all the rivers I fish.

Thsse fish got me going to places I would never go to haha. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

😂😂

@JumbleTronChannel lol there's gotta be some tanks down in those pools. I don't think people fish that canyon area much with how the terrain is. Super sketchy at times. Still fun exploring it tho. I'm not exactly sure when the fire was. Possibly within the last 5 years or so. Thank you brotha. I appreciate it 🙏🏾

Haha true. Thanks for stopping by brotha.

Mahalo 🤙🏾

@chris_ayyye when watching footage after a day of fishing, I realize I say some ridiculous tuff without even knowing. I just had to put that in the video lol. Thanks for watching 🤙🏾

My friend introduced me to snakes when I was 7 and have been in love with them ever since. Used to spend all day as a kid catching them. Thanks for watching 🤙🏾

Thanks man. When I find a deep bucket, I automatically assume there is one in there and most of the time there is. They're not picky on flies but have to drift it just right. You'll get em!

@waikarimoana thank you Tony. I appreciate you stopping by. Cheers 🍻

@Canons_Catch but those steelies tho. Sheesh. Just watched your vids and subbed. You're in Washington state? Gotta be some browns somewhere right?

@@FreeFormFlyFisher Thanks! There are a few places that have them but not to many close to me. Mostly in lakes not in the river.

Thank you for taking the time watch 🙏🏾

@jimarmstrong5868 not sure about low percentage but definitely lower than down stream sets.

Yikes. How do you do that? I feel weezy just thinking about it. Hope you make a speedy recovery.

Hit by a truck while riding my bicycle - honestly I'm lucky I'm not dead! He just clipped my arm right above the elbow joint line and it dislocated from the force of the impact... A few inches further over and I'd have been ground up under the wheels. Yesterday evening I went to the Russian River Flycasters' free casting clinic in Santa Rosa and discovered I have enough function back now to kinda strip a little line in/out now - it's a start. I mainly fish the Truckee between Truckee and Reno, and wading there is dangerous and challenging even when it finally gets below 700 CFM, so I'll need to be able to manage a wading staff in that hand... considering my non-dominant side was injured, and I'm not dead or a piece of produce, I have to feel pretty grateful! Hoping to be healthy enough to go catch some big cutthroats at Pyramid this winter! Anyway, your content is really high level re the cinematography... Keep up the killer work!

@craighamley3669 wow, good thing that situation wasn't worse. Its dangerous out there. Im super cautious when I ride. If there is a side walk, them I'm on it. Even if it's "illegal." I just don't trust drivers. Maybe I'll see you out on the water sometime. Fished pyramid twice and caught both times. Definitely not your normal trout haha. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.

Hidden gem.

Skeeeetchy 😂. Thanks Eric

@@FreeFormFlyFisher Worth it to drift some flies past fish that rarely see them :D

​@driftstone very true

Thanks Colby. I could have gone up stream and crossed to fish from the other side. I wasn't thinking haha. Water was still freezing at the time.

@@FreeFormFlyFisher Some spots take a couple trips to figure out and get a good trail going. Im surprised you don’t catch any smallies in the slower water

@colbymyers6278 I've caught them on accident but I don't even know how to target them haha. I've never seen any in this particular river but in that slow, deep water, there has to be something other than trout in there.

@@FreeFormFlyFisher streamers, crayfish patterns and big dryfly’s catch smallies. Just like targeting big trout but usually in the slower water. That wooly bugger will get them

@colbymyers6278 right on. I'll take my streamer set up next time now that I know where to turn around haha.

Thank you brother. I wish I could have landed that other one. Had it on for a HOT second haha.

@craighamley3669 thank you. I dont want to stress the fish out anymore than it already is. I would like people to simply keep the fish in the water after they net it. So many people hold them in the air for some reason. I don't understand it. Thanks for watching.

@PrimePlayer88 hi buddy. Loving your videos. Keep up the great work. You and your friend keep me laughing 😁

@@FreeFormFlyFisher thank you 😊

@ArtOfAngling Lightning Strike Ball Indicators. I've been getting them here for the past 5 or 6 years. I use the 3/4 size. www.bobmarriottsflyfishingstore.com/ball-strike-indicator At one point it was the only place I could find them so I've only bought from here. For me, the best indicator. Slides over tippet knots. Just pull the tooth pick out, adjust, plug it back, and cast.

@@FreeFormFlyFisher appreciate it brother your really inspiration to my fly fishing journey

@@ArtOfAngling hey, I appreciate that. Do you plan to load videos of your journey? Are you in California as well?

@@FreeFormFlyFisher yeah born and raised in the Central Valley and I have couple of clips of my adventures nothing worth uploading yet

@@ArtOfAngling right on. What fish do you mostly target?

@msorsky1 2016 shad run is when I started fly fishing. I used a 7wt. Still have it. Would fish every single day during the run and would catch so many fish. I was addicted. A couple of bad years in a row and I just haven't been as interested. I'd much rather drive a couple of hours and fish a mountain trout stream haha.

I use a 10ft 4wt rod. Line is WF4F. I've been using Lightning Strike Ball Indicators for years. I've tried others but I think these are the best for me. Oros makes a decent one as well. Just pricey. With the LS ones, just buy a pack of tooth picks. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Opening week, they took anything and everything haha. Went back beginning of June and it was night and day.

This one is a redington rise.

My friend asked "what is that?" I said "that's moisture forming because the ambient temperature is colder than the water" haha. I was pretty cool to see it float by. Thanks for watching Eduardo 🤙🏾

I appreciate the kind words. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment

Man that was frustrating haha. I still don't know what made it do that cause I've fished a couple times since and it didn't do it. My only guess is that it was semi frozen. That salt is no joke. Hopefully you're able to take it apart and fix it. Can we expect a video of that trip?

@@FreeFormFlyFisher There will be a video of that trip soon (if I can get around to editing it). It was really fun and thankfully I was able to land some fish in both saltwater and fresh water. I’ll probably just buy a cheap Maxcatch reel to use until I can get a more expensive one. The only issue with those is that they have an open spool so any drop of saltwater, no matter how much washing with fresh water you give it, will completely ruin it.

I hear ya. Thankfully the flows here were fishable. Lots of places I want to go and can't because of high flows. If you decide to go to this particular river, the fish are A LOT more picky now because of pressure.

Yea, that 5x was not having it lol. After switching to 4x, I was able to muscle the fish in. Super fun day. Thanks for watching brother

I would love to have a reel like that but it might be a while before I can talk myself into dishing out that kind of money haha. I'm sure it'll last a few life times. Thank you 🍻

I appreciate you my friend.

Full of energy and heavy, just how I like em 😂😂 Thank you 🙏🏾

​@FreeFormFlyFisher Oooh Yeah !

The crowds there are unreal now. I need to try the Nevada side haha A back up Piscifun reel isn't a bad idea. Might even become my main reel haha.

Much appreciated brother 🙏🏾. Thank you

Thanks brotha. Flows were just right this year and man were they opportunistic haha.
