- When Things Go WRONG.. and Right! - Mountain Brook Trout
Fishing trips rarely go as planned. So when things go wrong you gotta role with the punches and make the best of the day. Being surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and streams certainly helps 🙂
I hope you enjoy this small stream solo mission for native brook trout!

It’s all about perspective.
Look where you were, with a beautiful stream to yourself.
If that’s a bad day, sign me up!
Can’t wait to get up there this weekend.
Well done!
EXACTLY!!! I am blessed to have these opportunities not far from where I live! And there are so many of them it is mind blowing! I wish I could do this kind of thing as my full time job! 😂 Exploring these streams is such a passion for me.. I will take what I can get!
I had to delete the previous video and upload this video a second time because RUclips was not processing the original properly. If you left me a comment on the previous video but didn't see your reply please leave your comment here and I'll get back to you!
Another authentic fly fishing day on the stream. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Many won't even realize how much work there is in putting quality content out there. I did photography for a few years, debated starting a channel and your frustration is exactly the reason why I chose not to start a channel nor carrying a bunch of camera gears with me. Worth mentioning I've been working with advanced tech and computer all my life. To me it's not worth the hassle to drag my day along and create content. I'd be thrilled to share knowledge and experience with others but I enjoy fishing too much and it's my way of escaping from work and technology. At the end of the day you still pulled one very nice video for your audience!
Cheers!
It's funny... I never imagined myself doing this... it just kinda happened organically. And the more I got into the creator side and the real filming... the heavier my bag got and the more time I spend "Capturing the Experience". I enjoy the process but sometimes it can get overwhelming and I rarely get out just to fish for myself. I left the cameras behind a little last year and had some great days that helped me recharge. I used to be passionate about the fishing (and I still am)... but it has grown into more than that. I am passionate about sharing the experience and helping others through the channel. One day I hope that means early retirement from my actual work where my wife and I can travel, fish and film our adventures.
Well I love these little brookies, it's so easy to spook them so when you land them it's fun because you work hard for it and a day on the stream will always be better then one at work dude. Keep up the good work, appreciated.
I don't spook fish often. I can get pretty close to them in water like this if you come up from behind them. I always work my way up a stream. if you work downstream you'll spook a ton.
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany I always work, up stream to, but in the very little one, the one i like to fly fish they appeared to ear you coming, so sometime i crawl to make sure i dont spook them. But at the end its fun and benefits of being in nature. Thank's for the video, i learn alot from it.
@@corbeilyves5489 Yes... the small ones can be tough.. or if they have still water... I like the cascading streams where the water is more turbulent and they don't see you coming. You can be pretty much right behind them on those :) But those smaller streams can be really tricky!!!
Another great video. You present this video just like a regular Joe fishing on a stream encountering highs and lows of everyday fly fishing!
Glad you enjoyed it! I think I am a regular Joe :)
Gotta love the vids that keep it real! Thanks for staying authentic.
Well I did cut some of it out that I didn't think people would want to hear 😂🤐 That was during the "Pause". 😂
Just love this guy’s work. He fishes the places I love to fish and fights his way through the same problems I do. Clearly it’s not easy putting these videos together but they’re truly appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you Mike! I really appreciate your comment! I put a lot of effort into this video and yet it gets less views than most of my others. My audience has been built on my how to videos so when I do an adventure video it under performs... but they end up being my favorite work.
That stream is my local, just a couple minutes from my house. A lot of it gets hammered cause you can just stop your car and cast. Gotta do a little walking to get back off the roadside and it fishes like a dream.
Yes... I've done the same and had some great days :)
White Dog, I know nearly every inch of this stream. It’s one of the trib streams I grew up on. Head upstream further for different experiences.
that's what I did for the second part of the video but I know I could have gone much further. Thanks... next time I'll head way up!
It get tough out there sometimes, but even still, that's a beautiful day! Definitely appreciate the realism and the "behind the scenes" look at a "rough" day n the water. Most folks don't share when it gets real!
Reality is so much more interesting 😂 I love my small streams . They're usually very good fishing, the fish are beautiful and the streams live in amazing places.
Thanks for sharing! Tough days on the water are hard, especially when it's being filmed with all its blemishes for the world to see. Thanks again for all you do to provide content and education!
You always have the luxury of editing things out but I think the reality of it makes it better :)
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Exactly. Very rarely do any fishing trips go completely ideal. We all snag, we all break off, we all lose fish after hookups. The reality of your productions helps us realize that we are all human beings with imperfect lives. I much prefer this over the airbrushed, hyperreality of many influencers on social media. Thanks again for all your efforts! Always love your videos!
Thanks for a inspiration video, never quit 👍
My pleasure!
Love the vid what beautiful place and Brookies
Thanks! I wish I could spend more of my time exploring places like this because I'm always amazed at what I find! Just think how much our world has to offer us if we take the time to find it. ❤
Terrific production. Thanks for the persistence with the tech and bringing it to us. I find it hard to snap a quick photo with a phone….so don’t be hard on yourself!!! What an amazing session. Reminds me of the mountain streams we have here in Australia…what we call ‘twig’ water….ie 7ft 3wt country. Brilliant stuff!
Thank you! I appreciate it! and your "Twig Water" is my kind of water :)
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany while I have you….massive thanks for your contact nymph serious too. Been a joy to expand my technique over the past season, and your series was an immense help! But still nothing like a dry fly session is there! 😉
@@anthonyclark6118 Thank you! I definitely love my nymphing... but like you said if you can get a rise to a dry I'll take that over nymphing any day. :)
LMAO. This is exactly how my trips start 😂
That particular trip was a struggle... mostly on the technology side but I did have to move and find fish that hadn't been pressured.
I enjoyed that and I love those small streams. My Dad NEVER passed by one without at least a look and we/he found some good ones.
- Sometimes in those smaller streams when you get to the bigger pools and there aren't too many bigger ones, could be the local mink/otter population getting them. It confines them and those 2 are really good predators. I've trapped many mink and some otters like that.
I'm starting to explore some of the mtn trout streams in NC (Why not, I have a license LOL) and may have to get a nice light fly rod... There are some really nice streams you would LOVE in Western NC.
Have fun exploring the NC streams! Check out Wild Fly Productions on RUclips if you don't already follow them. He used to live in NC.
Great video, tough day on the stream! Educated trout can drive you nuts. When I am using a soft rod the third time my tippet breaks off I trash it, it has gone bad. Keep bringing the videos. Thanks for your persistence!!!!
Thanks.. The fishing was good once I got away from the pressured stretches. My frustration was definitely on the side of the filming that day... I kept missing the good stuff or a battery would die or the mic wasn't on or files would get corrupted lol.
Awesome. As someone who has tried to video myself fly fishing I can appreciate the time and effort that’s put into this. It ain’t easy.
No it is not! On top of that I had GoPro corruption issues on several files. It's like the video that almost never happened because of all of the hurdles. 😂
I will trade you. I am sitting in a meeting and I am "Multi-Tasking". You kept it real. Being a RUclipsr is hard work and your not always catching the big one. Thanks for the vid
I was at work all day too... and spent my entire weekend editing. The weather appears to be turning here. Warm, sun and not much rain in the forecast. Hopefully that means some fishing for me very soon!
Beautiful and honest video....is there a video of this type of dry fly?
Yes... this is the foam caddis. ruclips.net/video/HmqzGIcy5zo/видео.html I tie other foam based flies now though as well. I'm using a double layer foam with legs that kinda looks like a hopper most of the time these days. It has a larger profile that flops into the water and is easily seen by brook trout in turbulent pocket water.
Keep the content like this coming. I thought the quality of the footage was great. The breaks offs and frustration make it real as well. Beautiful water you have there.
Thank you! I really enjoy these kind of films. They take so much more effort but the end product feels good and I memorialize my days on the water for myself and to share with others.
“ are you kidding me “ I find myself saying those exact words too and usually there’s a word that starts with an F added to those. Great videos and great camera work , keep them coming
😂😂😂 Yup... I did have to edit some stuff out! 🙃
Great vid! Definitely how things go chasing those mountain beauties sometimes. The Muir is an absolute gem to fish with. JP does great work! Nice pack too. I have the same one.
I have a huge problem. JP is making me a Beaver Meadow S-Glass 7'6" 3wt. I'm going to have to find a way to share the love between both rods! 😂
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany 🤣🤣🤣. I have the same problem. The S Glass is incredible. Got the 6.5 ft 2 wt and liked it so much, I just got a 7.5 ft 4 wt. You're gonna love it. I have to put them all in a rotation.
@@josephmarietta4135 Great idea!!! :)
Run-ins with thee educated trout.
Much love and respect for the education trout! But the trout that have not seen people are much more aggressive.
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany I am a struggling small-stream fly Fisher, and I am curious if you had just the leader spooled out or did you have a white 'main line' as you used only about 8ft of line out, how do you set up a rig for super tight streams? Do a vid maybe
@@Wyatt1314. I actually just saw your response. Sorry I missed it. I use a 9 foot 6x tapered leader when fly fishing the smalls streams. I like a longer leader to get my fly well ahead of the fish without the fly line hitting the water. I find on most casts I'm keeping the fly line completely off the water so I don't spook fish.
802 Brookies!
“9:14” I say that to myself at least once every day I fish!
There was quite a bit I cut out at that point! 😂😂😂
A beautiful day starts with watching wonderful videos like this. I have enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing . a fellow creator,..,,.
Thank you very much!
I need that rod, it looks like butter!
It feels like butter! 😛
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany I ordered one… lol
@@dwgoutdoors831 That's AWESOME!!!
Can you talk about what you carry in your backpack, please? What model is that bag?
It's the LL Bean Waterproof Switchpack (www.llbean.com/llb/shop/123693?page=waterproof-switchpack). It is for my camera gear that I bring with me. I found out the hard way that I needed a waterproof pack when I went too deep with my old pack and waterlogged a good camera. Waterproof is a must for my camera gear! In the front pouch I carry my fly boxes, leaders, tippet, SD Cards (in a waterproof container) and extra batteries for my cameras (need to quickly access them) and sometimes my GoPro. In the big bag I carry my Canon Mirrorless camera and good lens, my drone, my wireless mic and other mics, a smaller tripod, some food and a drink. I strap my real tridpod to the outside of the bag. It is pretty heavy when I'm loaded down with all of my camera gear!
What pack/chest rig is that? Love you videos man I have been religiously watching your euro nymphing videos just bought a 10'6" euro rod and setting up a full mono rig. Super excited thank you for all your hard work and sharing the addiction. Tight lines my friend.
Thank you! The pack is the LLBean Waterproof Switchpack. I needed something waterproof to carry and protect all my camera equipment! I like the front chest pack that I can move around! The big pack is just one large compartment though.. there are no "pockets" in it.
Excuse my language but what an absolutely F'n great edited video. O yea, stop apologizing. I know it's because you want to put out great content and not let your subscribers down. This video was fantastic.
Thanks Jason! You've been with the channel from the very beginning and I appreciate it!
Could you show video on tying that foam caddis?
Yes I can! Here it is! ruclips.net/video/HmqzGIcy5zo/видео.html The hook I use now is the Tiemco TMC200R (that I show as an alternative hook in the video). It has a better hookup percentage.
Great video as always thank you. What fly line are you using?
It is a Rio Gold WFF 3wt. I pretty much use Rio for all of my lines. I think this is the one. amzn.to/3vaZwvG I think it is the Moss/Gold.
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Thank you. It’s nice that you answer back all the time.
Like I said on the other one great job on the vids keep it up
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed a much clearer video this time 😂
Beautiful video. Such a nice looking mountain stream. Loved the dry fly take at 15:50. When was this video taken?
That shot from up high is the shot I was talking about in the video where the sound was not working. My reaction was pretty great so I was bummed that the sound didn't get recorded. But the shot was killer! 🙂 I recorded this in August of 2021 but never had time to edit it until this winter. Figured the timing would be good for April when everyone wants to get out fishing!
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Actually it was the take at 15:46 where you can see your fly very well. Thank you for taking us with you. Looking forward to getting out there more now we are in April. Unfortunately we have received a lot of rain last week in the lower Catskills and it will be a few more days before things will get real good. Temps are on the rise however.
