  • AMAZON TROUT FISHING CHALLENGE - FLY FISHING EDITION!!
    In this video I went onto Amazon and found one of the cheapest fly rod combos I could find, and then went fishing to prove a point: Fly Fishing Doesn't Have to Be Elite!! I spent less than $120 and I got more than enough equipment to catch some beautiful native brook trout.
    I made this video to show someone who might be wanting to get into fly fishing an easy way to get started. It is always nice to have the newest and greatest gear. However, having all this expensive gear is not necessary to get out on the water and have a great time! I think sometimes people get so caught up in the gear that they forget the reason that they started fly fishing in the first place.
    Thanks for watching!! Don't forget to subscribe, like the video if you enjoyed, and leave a comment!

    I’m an old fart that’s been fishing my whole life and I really enjoyed this video. You broke it down really well and spoke some truths (like presentation over fly selection) that don’t get talked about as much as they should. If anybody out there is wondering if they can do it, you proved that they can. Find a little piece of water that you can get familiar with, get the bare minimum of gear that you need, and work on approaching the water and presenting the fly. The fish will eventually take care of the rest. (ps - Please exclude me from the giveaway - I’m set!)

    John, I've been watching your videos for about 10 months now. I'm still fairly new to this incredible sport (and art). I learn so much from your videos and appreciate your love and passion for fly fishing. It's contagious. Thanks for your enthusiasm and willingness to share your knowledge!

    About three years ago I made a good friend who was obsessed with fly-fishing. He was from Montana where there are tons of lakes all within a very close distance of his house. I wanted to find a nice video to start to learn how to and this was the first one I came across. Thanks for making it.

    My dad always fished with his fly pole and he passed away 5 years ago. I regret that I never had him teach me the art. One of those regrets that will last my life time.
    Watching your videos brings back days fishing with him. I saw him catch a native Brookie in a lil spring fed run that wasn't 2 foot across at it's widest and no more than 12" at it's deepest spot.
    I love to have that fly rod today.

    The first good fly line I purchased as a new fly fisherman blew my mind how a good line could make such a huge positive difference in my fishing. I think any of the cheaper combos are more than fine but they really lack decent line. I’d rather fish a $70 combo with a $100 fly line than a sage esn with a $20 line. Great video and content!!! Thanks.

    Thanks for the vid. I really enjoy your vids since I'm new to the sport. I just got a Amazon rod and reel for Father's Day so it's encouraging to see you don't have to throw down a ton of money to get fishing. I've been up to one of our epic AZ creeks but it was muddy after a summer rain so was a raging torrent. Didn't really know what I was doing and no luck but like you said, just beautiful being there.

    This was a great intro video from start to finish. From the initial set up , how to properly handle fish to be released, to reading the water, and showing that you don't need an equipment layout of thousands to get into fish. That first brookie you had looked like it had some beautiful coloration in the brief glimpse of it we got. You also do a great job of promoting the sport. Your ending statement about counting your blessings and enjoy that you can be out there, whether you catch a fish or not, was spot on. Thanks for the opportunity to win this outfit as well. Take care and God bless. 👊🏼🇺🇸
    P.S. No offense, but I'll take100, or more, of these beautiful fish over that orange fish you had in the last video any day of the week. 😉

    John, Love your videos!! I’ve done a little fly fishing in the past but then I got married and had kids and all my free time was taken up. 25 years later my kids are grown up and I just got divorced so I’m looking to find a hobby to keep me busy. I live in eastern Pa where there are a lot of good trout streams and spring time is here. I currently don’t have any gear but will be looking for or winning some soon. Thanks for the Great videos!

    I've been loving your videos, I'm always blown away by the quality despite being a relatively small channel. Keep up the great work. I don't have much in the way of good fly fishing where I live but I've been planning a trip to some trout water this spring with some friends who have never fly fished. I'm sufficiently equipped with my own fly fishing gear but I'm trying to come up with some more for my friends so they can have a great first experience and hopefully continue fly fishing. This setup would really help us out so I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring. Either way I'm looking forward to your next adventure!

    awesome video.......been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now and I have to say that they are pretty doggone good. I have watched lots of other fly fishing videos and I think yours is right up there in the top 5. You hit the proverbial nail on the head in doing this challenge. You o not need to spend lots of money to go fly fishing , and it is also very rewarding way to fish. Anybody can catch a bass or catfish......kinda like hauling a sink out of a lake........but having to fight the fish on such a small tippet to me is the real challenge. Some of these smaller trout in these small streams is the real challenge of fishing.
