Hey Nick, I watch your videos! Let me know if you have any tenkara questions (or if you ever make it to the West and want to meet up to fish). I know you've been on a bit of a trout kick recently, and that's basically all I fish for 😁
What I like most about your videos are the beautiful landscapes you fish at. And apparently noboby else is around you. The brutal beauty of the North American nature is out there for you to enjoy with its beautifully coloured species of trout. Those American species of trout that I learned about from a book of the fifties by the American author Dan Holland: marvellous photos of rivers of Alaska and other places of great resonance for a European such as British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Wyoming, Gods' River, Snake River...you don't know how fortunate you are to enjoy that wilderness.
the best time was late summer to fish those creeks after the water levels has dropped , the water is clear and cold also . but like I said , take people with you it' dangerous country !! I could you some great stories about those river canyons, have fun fishing !! I enjoy your videos a lot . RON S
I would bet that a few people a month will be in over estimation. Not very many people are willing to go into such places to fish for such small fish however it is amazing freaking Fisheryi that is awesome. Thank you for sharing this that's good to know there are such wild places still out there if a person is willing to make an effort. I follow the Western native trout on Instagram but didn't know know you were actually doing the challenge. That is awesome good for you man I am happy for you keep going enjoy the hell out of it that's amazing thank you for sharing!
McCloud river red band is one of California heritage trouts challenge. There is native red band in SoCal, too. That place is so beautiful. It must be the headwater of Columbia River, I believe? 700+ trouts a year is incredible. Thanks for sharing the awesome trip.
I used to fish as a young girl with my first husband, We fished for Pike and Walleye mostly, (Lake Nippissing, Ontario, Canada) but snagged a few big muskie and Perch sometimes. I once caught a 16 pound pike! What a ride that was!!! Have never done any fly fishing. Looked like fun! And Congrats on such a great fishing day and achieving y our species goal!
Great video, I think between the scenery and the huge # of native Redband Rainbows landed (which are beautiful, I've never seen 1 before) it's by far your best yet. Which says a lot, appreciate the time you put into sharing your tankara fishing.
Congratulations on a great show, you have convinced me to go Tenkara. I am waiting for my first Tenkara rod to arrive so I can go try it out when our trout fishing season opens on the 1st March.
I am so encouraged and enriched to know there are still pools and areas where native fish thrive, frankly, unmolested by humans. Please keep this location secret. You know there are lots of people that would roll in on this and really damage it. But thanks so much for sharing!!
Hi, I watched several of your Tenkara videos and I must say they are very good. One suggestion, even though most will not fish your same locations, could you still share the type and size of fly you are using. Thanks and keep up the great work. May God Bless you brother.
@@TenkaraAddict LOL, I should have thought of that, just read the description. Thanks man and really do love the videos. If you ever get down to Texas let me know and I would be glad to host you. I really like what you are doing here, good stuff!
I'm wondering if this creek will soon become overpopulated, based on the slim profle of the red band trout you caught. I've flyfished a remote canyon to find brown trout with oversized heads and short bodies. It would be interesting if you went back to this creek in a few years to see if the trout are doing well or starving. Good show!
So...your video is still playing, but I'm wondering if you will show how your rod works and what you use for flies. I also wonder if you ever cook your any of your catch? I've done a good bit of saltwater fishing...fishing for shark as well. But no fly fishing at all.
For "how the rod works," no, I don't cover that on this channel. Just look up introductory tenkara videos for that. The flies are listed in the description. I don't eat fish, so no, I don't cook them. Thanks for watching.
@@TenkaraAddict it blows my mind to think. that before the dams on the Columbia and snake river chinnook salmon and steelhead could go all the way up those little creeks. I do the drive from las vegas to Orofino idaho every year to fly fish for steelhead and my mind wonders about how cool would have been to see that.
i am curious as to the way you find so many cool spots to fish i live in Utah and grew up in Idaho i recognize some spots but you have alot of cool spots like your videos very much maybe a name list of spots in future huh?
That's pretty neat, getting a Western slam. I have one of the species - Rio Grande cutthroat. I thought I had two - Greenback cutthroat, but the fiasco over the supposedly pure Greenbacks actually being hybrids scotched that. Luckily, they were able to find one last pure population of Greenbacks, and Colorado is back on the long road of re-establishing populations, so I might have a chance in the future.
I'm new to your fishing channel. Do you tie your own flies? And, if so would you ever sell them on your website? Those are really beautiful fish! Do you ever eat the fish you catch? Fresh trout are delicious!
About 40 years ago, my kid brother caught a monster red band, around 13 inch and deep bodied like a bass. These fish can survive hot summers when the water stops flowing, with only the deep pools remaining.
try fishing the river canyons in the central sierras , out of Fresno ca. deer creek, bear creek lower dinkey creek , north fork of the kings river , cabin creek the tributires of the of the kaweah rive, r ten mile creek below Hume lake on the sequoia national forest . this hell hole fishing but lots of fun , but if you ever god to these creeks take a couple of friends with you for safety , its rugged country !!!, German browns , rainbows , and some will get up to 18 to 24 inches . I fished these creeks from 1967 to 2000 until I moved to Colorado. thought canyons are no country for old men like me now but at the time it was great adventure for me and my friend. I really miss fishing those creeks. those creeks are on the Sierra national forest , sequoia national forest and nation forest out of Fresno and Visalia California,
I'm glad you do not include where you angle for fish a local newspaper published a report they found a subspecies of a rainbow trout that they thought were extinct 4/70 years they not only mention the location but were quite specific where the little creek was. I don't know if this caused a problem with poaching but they advertised it which I believe didn't do anybody any favors by doing so especially the fish.

Nope, not the headwaters. It's a tributary of a tributary of a tributary of the Columbia River.
You've caught more fish in a year than I have in a lifetime 😔. Well done, amazing place
I didn't call myself Tenkara Addict for nothing 😁 Thanks Byron.
@@TenkaraAddict This is very true. haha

Wow, that must have been quite the fight! Thanks Maggie.
Very interesting area. Beautiful fish.
congrats on completing the western native trout challenge....
Thanks!
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! Keep it up!
Will do 😁
Northern pikeminnow for sure. Used to call them squawfish. They have a bounty on them in the Snake River to control predation on salmon smolts.
Thanks for watching 👍
Congratulations on completing the challenge. That was a really pretty canyon pool.
Thanks John!
Congratulations!!! What an amazing day, a great way to celebrate a fishing anniversary.

Tristan wow love ur dropping n2 deep remote canyons! Keep them 2 ur self! Love ur work! Looks like a chub. Mark
Thanks Mark!
Congrats on the fishing experience on your anniversary day! Thanks for sharing your past year with us. Your videos are always a joy and inspiration.
Thanks Jason! I appreciate it.
Red Bands are awesome, those holes look incredible, must not be much insect life with the bigger ones so thin.
Maybe no baitfish or crayfish either--?
Idaho is such a great state!
nice vidéo beautiful canyon
Thanks Guy
Awesome catching
Thanks
Congratulations on a great show, you have convinced me to go Tenkara. I am waiting for my first Tenkara rod to arrive so I can go try it out when our trout fishing season opens on the 1st March.

What a stream!! Congratulations on your one year fishing anniversary.
Thanks 😁👍
Você pesca em cada riacho lindo!
Thanks!
Sweet stream!!!
Wow, crazy landscape. Another great video!

Check the video description. All flies are size 12.

What a fantastic place to fish. Thanks for sharing.😀
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Love the remoteness!
Me too!
Terrain is SO alien to my eastern eyes! 👽👀👽 Only thing that looks familiar is the water and stream bottom. Another great video Tristan!
It looked pretty alien to my eyes too, if I'm honest. Wild place. Thanks Lane!

I've flyfished a remote canyon to find brown trout with oversized heads and short bodies. It would be interesting if you went back to this creek in a few years to see if the trout are doing well or starving. Good show!
I think it already is overpopulated. As you said, they were all pretty skinny. Thanks Frank.
Cool location, you should use barbless hooks
I do
FYI, there are some red bands in Montana
Yep, you're right. Thanks for watching.
So...your video is still playing, but I'm wondering if you will show how your rod works and what you use for flies. I also wonder if you ever cook your any of your catch? I've done a good bit of saltwater fishing...fishing for shark as well. But no fly fishing at all.

That's really interesting that the red band is the same species as steelhead.thanks for the facts.
I thought so too when I first learned it. Thanks for watching
@@TenkaraAddict it blows my mind to think. that before the dams on the Columbia and snake river chinnook salmon and steelhead could go all the way up those little creeks. I do the drive from las vegas to Orofino idaho every year to fly fish for steelhead and my mind wonders about how cool would have been to see that.
also did you get to fish for the bull trout in the jarbidge mountains?...
Awesome video mate. Really enjoying the content keep it up 🤟
Thanks, will do!
Beautiful spot! Have you caught Gila trout or Apache trout on your western excursions?
Nope, I haven't fished in Arizona or New Mexico yet
pretty fish
Congratulations on your achievement!
The fish seem to be released from the hook quickly and easily. Do you use barbless flies?
Yes, they are barbless
I hit similar places in northern New Mexico!
i am curious as to the way you find so many cool spots to fish i live in Utah and grew up in Idaho
i recognize some spots but you have alot of cool spots like your videos very much
maybe a name list of spots in future huh?
I don't share names or locations, sorry. Here's how I find creeks to fish: tenkaraaddict.com/how-to-find-small-creeks-to-fish/
Wonderful!
Are you using barbless flies?
Oh, I see you are😊
Yes

I do tie my own flies, but I don't sell them. Nope, I never acquired a taste for fish so I actually never eat them
About 40 years ago, my kid brother caught a monster red band, around 13 inch and deep bodied like a bass. These fish can survive hot summers when the water stops flowing, with only the deep pools remaining.
Nice!
Great video of very nice fishing👍🏻 Do you still use the iWader? No leaks? Just thinking of getting one😊
Yep I still use them. No problems yet 🤞
Happy fishiversary!
I know you list the fly you are using, but it would be great if you could show a live picture of the fly so we can see the variation, etc.
Love the videos! Curious, do you add any weight to your Utah killer kebari? Lead wraps?
I fish it both weighted and unweighted. When it's weighted, I use 6 wraps of medium copper wire.
What fly were you using?
Kindly mention the flies you use while filming if possible. Thanks - great channel.
I list that info in the description of every video. Thanks for watching.
The fish caught at 6:14 you can see the shadow of another fish chasing that one in
Came right up to you
Lots of fish in that creek, and they weren't really afraid of me!
Good place
What's the biggest fish you caught with that setup so far?
18 inch rainbow trout
@@TenkaraAddict not bad! Bet it gave a battle on that rig.
Good on ya. Jealous. Cold and snowy here on the front range.
Yep, cold and snowy here in Idaho too. This was filmed in October.
Ahhh, that's what filmed in October means 😂
How is the modified Utah Killer Kabari different from the Utah Killer Kabari? Thanks in advance.
I use different hackle (both in color and style) and less weight (and sometimes no weight). I also put the yarn in differently.
@@TenkaraAddict Have you thought about doing a video on tying your variation? I would like to see it.
Do you ever catch and EAT?
Nope, I don't like fish

Thanks Carlos 👍
I believe the mystery fish you caught is an arctic grayling.
Definitely not a grayling. It's a northern pikeminnow. Thanks for watching.
I'm glad you do not include where you angle for fish a local newspaper published a report they found a subspecies of a rainbow trout that they thought were extinct 4/70 years they not only mention the location but were quite specific where the little creek was. I don't know if this caused a problem with poaching but they advertised it which I believe didn't do anybody any favors by doing so especially the fish.
Yeah, it's easy enough to find areas like this if you just do some research. No reason to go into specific details about the location. Thanks Kevin.
👍😍🥇😍👍
Você é brasileiro?
No
Mt. Whitefish
Definitely not a mountain whitefish
@@TenkaraAddict WHAT IS IT THEN?
Northern squawfish
Same thing
