- Under pressure.. You have to know when to hold them and when to fold them. My trips are usually measured in miles and hours on the water. BUT colder days when the sun isn't shining very long means you have to stick close to the truck. Today I was fishing the extremely pressured section of the Current River right below Montauk State Park. We managed to make something happen but it took some serious grind. This is why I love to have a Blue Ribbon plan "B" in my back pocket at all times. Winter is slow. Winter is a grind. But don't let that stop you.

That takes some major self control to not strangle that old man. State parks always bring out the crazy locals.
LOL it can be so annoying.. combat fishing is not my style... But that is kind of what you sign up for unfortunately
@@FLYALLSZN i just started fly fish a couple of years ago however I never waited in the water are water moccasins easy to spot in stream s like that
I was just here last week! Man, I’m always jealous of the fishing access those cabins just below the park have.
I walked past them and thought the same thing!
ditto
Enjoy ur Midwest Vids, Mike .
Inspires this ancient angler !
The Midwest is home and full of great opportunities!
Hey Mike. I really enjoy the videos from Missouri, as I am a MO angler. Keep them coming.
Thanks,
steve
Can't beat the home waters! Thank you Steve!
Hello I want to thank you for the tying video of the minne meat wistle!!! That thing kills the trout!!!
So happy to see a return to the Current River. Awesome video as always.... Jeff
Thank you so much!!
I was there in July and walked about a half mile downstream from the wire without seeing anyone else. Saw a lot of guys heading down to the next access too. Had 12 on the day. I really like that section just down from the park. I saw the biggest brown I've ever seen in my life in the first hole from the wire with the heavy current.
Merry Christmas Mike, both streams that helped develop my fly fishing affliction. I'm heading out that way for a couple days this week! Unfortunately those fellas must have lost their way from the park.
There is really no excuse for crowding there, definitely park anglers! Great vid!
Fly fishing affliction! Ain’t that the truth.. that’s why I can’t be mad at them! Just had to let them pass haha hopefully you have better luck that I did!!
Trout stamps in every state should come with a handout explaining high-holing and how it can ruin another’s entire day on the water. Most folks aren’t being intentionally rude, they just don’t have a clue.
I think the same thing Gary and that’s why I didn’t even bother chirping at them. Just kinda sucks.
Great video, I love the narration and editing. thank you for featuring missouri streams! Blue springs and little piney creeek etc have much less pressure, it is hard for me to fish Montauk due to high pressure. I would love to see videos from 11 point and white river in missouri :) also Beaver bend state park in S. E. oklahoma is a great area as well
Thank you so much Gregory! SE OK has been on my radar for a bit now! I’d love to chase some sooner trout
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Mike. 2021 was a great year for viewing your videos. Can't wait for what you have in store for 2022. Be well.
Thank you so much Steven!! Same to you and yours!
How far from big springs is this?
Kick ass stuff, man.
You're killin' it. 👍
Thank you so much Glen!
Nice day and a great video. People are people and likely don’t know any better. However, there are those few who reason that, “this is just as much my river as yours….” or, “I paid for my fishing license and pay taxes just like you do…..” whatever the reason, it is much better just to let it be. Thanks again for showcasing Missouri’s wonderful trout streams and rivers.
Well said! Not much you can do when that happens on a busy creek
They know better...
I used to throw on a high vis dry before those 20-24 tricos or midges. But had more issues with refusals of the bigger dry then them turning off the trico, drag, wind knots with the larger dry twisting that 7x etc. Have found just a very slight dab of indicator putty on the tippet knot to be the best for me so far. Tricos on the current is one of my faves!
That is a great tip!
I too see tree overhangs and know I'll be catching fish! Another great video. Missouri looks like it has a lot to offer. F those hole encroachers. That's annoying. I had that happen in NM. I was in some rapids and this dude just popped right above me and then never left. He was always 75ft in front of me messing up the spots before I got there. Super annoying. Local or not you don't do that.
Thank you so much! It is extremely annoying but what can ya do? Just one of those things I guess.. that’s why I usually like to go really remote haha
First off - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Mike! I have to say that you handled the inexperience, or indifference, of those other anglers well. I've experienced the same, and instead of gently notifying the other party of their infraction (and eliciting the standard shocked surprise and lack of accountability) I have used the situation to find other water that I normally wouldn't have considered. Sometimes it's a boom, sometimes it's a bust, but at least I get to maintain that state of mellow flow which is a big part of why I'm out there. Keep up the great videos and just being a downright decent human being, and let Karma deal with the rest.
Rob!! Thank you so much same to you and yours! An interaction like this is always tough.. but I couldn’t agree more.. much easier to just find a plan B that’s a little more empty.
I'm in Columbia but have lived in Tennessee and Sierra Nevada's of Cali.... What's the best trout waters nearby Columbia??????????
Another nice video. When the fish are being selective during the hatch it could be they’re taking emergers. I’ve had a few days where swinging a size 18 or 20 starling and purple was able to crack the code. Those Missouri blue ribbon streams look interesting. Hopefully I can try fishing one of them next year.
I thought they were taking emergers too! The camera didn’t show the furious rig and re rigging of the day haha
Man I was there a couple weeks ago. Wish I could’ve met you! I Would Love to learn more about the sport from you. I live in Colorado Springs now, and I’m excited to fly fish all the local reservoirs/rivers! Thanks for the great content!
No kidding?? That’s right around when I was there too! Colorado is so full of great fishing!
Elevenmile canyon is where it’s at!
White River Streamer fishing next???
Big yikes.. the white is a fickle mistress.. I might just go back west haha
Looks like a blue wing olive emerger you had tied on.
I switched up so many times! Between midges and tiny mayflies I threw the sink at them
lucky man! back in show me, eatin mom's home cookin. If you ever get up to western mew york, you have a place to hang on the mighty niagara. steelhead ally. no 3 weights for these chrome torpedos. love the channel and your remote spots. rage on bro, happy, healthy holidays to you and your family!
Being home has been so nice! That is high on my bucket list! That would be amazing!
Not surprised man about the regs stomping through your hole. Can one up you. So recently fishing a “C&R fly fish only” stream here out East and had almost same thing happen by spin fisherman. I quickly let them know how I felt but they proceeded to stay and hook a solid rainbow, and leave with it in their net.
That is so frustrating.. It is so strange to me why some folks do that..
CRISPY
BOI
lfg
Yeah the guys on the current can get pretty greedy man! Still a good home water spot though
You gotta know what your signing up for! I figured something like that was going to happen
Love these videos!
Thank you so much Dan!
Mike you had more restraint than I would have had with that old dude. He and I would have dropped the gloves and danced. Must have been a stupid spinner fisherman.
A big portion of the current river blue ribbon is heavily pressured unfortunately. Whenever i go there's always dozens of fisherman scattered around each hole. It can be frustrating but there's still good fish to be had.
The cost of doing business on a popular stream unfortunately
Ya ever go to Crane?
Awesome video, man! What mirrorless camera do you use??
Thank you so much Paul! I’m using a canon eos m50!
I'm sorry, but if someone was fishing in New Zealand (where I'm from) and that dude at 3:38 just walked right through the hole they were fishing, they would get punched in the throat. There is no excuse for that.
If I was in NZ I might do the same.. but here in the states that just happens sometimes.. hard to be mad when technically he has just as much right to be there as I do.. just would be nice for a bit if common sense/ decency on the water..
@@FLYALLSZN Agree, I live in Indiana now, I fish from here to the Smokies. Thankfully most people do have a bit of decency. I am new to your channel and I am enjoying your videos.
Do you ever go to the access that is downstream of the one you went to? Good stretch of river and tend to see less fishermen as well.
I have before and that would have been a better move than right under the park.
@@FLYALLSZN Have to fight with the horse riders sometimes to walk on the trail but a nice change nonetheless 😅
If winters a grind for you in Missouri you aint been to roaring river 50 fish days are slow days and if you dont catch at least one over 3 pounds it’s surprising
I love RRSP. It's where I learned to love fly fishing and, yes, you can have some epic days all year long there. But for me (and I think for Mike as well) there is just something about the intellectual challenge of catching wild rainbows in Missouri's blue ribbon waters that is a much more spiritual experience that can't compare to the parks. Don't get me wrong...I love Missouri's trout parks. But give me just one 6 in. wild rainbow in complete solitude on a small blue ribbon creek in mid-MO any day over 25 14-inchers in a trout park with spin fishers 50 feet from me. To each his own.
@@rickwright3046 thats why we fish the catch and release season there and in the summer its harder to catch fish there than any “wild” type stream ive been to because they see so many lines every year especially the big ones those fish are the most line shy ive ever seen shit most of the fish in taney are damn near wild and they arent as shy as the fish at RRSP but im not the new style fly fisherman either i dont care about being sophisticated or pretentious about how i catch my fish personally but like you said to each their own
That river is horrible when it comes to people. Ive had people fish my hole while i was changing flies. Theres no common courtesy.
Good on you not to say anything with those guys …..kill them with kindness
Ya know it just didn’t seem worth it!
