Nice flow on the Clarion and nice time of year. Always enjoy your videos. Missed not seeing them for a few weeks, but you were busy in a tree. Another great sport! Congrats😊
Good morning Grady! And thank you for your patience and understanding. Yes, the flows were low but very nice for wading, I bet up at normal flows it is much tougher to wade safely. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Jeremy! Well, fished last week up on Penns with good top water action. Probably just a month or so left for on top, but underneath is year round, just dress warm. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you Bruce, wish I could’ve got the hunt on film for everyone, but sadly I didn’t. Nice to be back fishing also. Love this time of year but could do without all the leaves in the water, adds to the challenge. 👍🏻 Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Mr George! Hope you’re doing well and thank you very much! Sadly, no video of the deer hunts. But pheasant season is around the corner. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you much Ray! I’m being totally honest, a 51 yard shot, quartering away, right behind the rib cage into the boiler room. Amazed me too! I’m a good shot out to 45 yards, and this guy was at 51 out in an open field. I just had to try, so I aimed a little high with my 45 yard pin, and the arrow flew true. It didn’t go through the deer so tracking was a little difficult, not much of a blood trail, but I found him really not too far away from where I shot him. So sad I didn’t get it on film. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice video Scott, and glad you are back on line here. Big water and nice action for this time of year. All the best and thanks again for all you bring to us God Bless Chuck
Hi Chuck! Glad to be back. Yes, the Clarion is a pretty good size stream with a moderate to fast flow, very tricky wading. Hope you're out there having some fun too this Fall. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hey Todd! Good Sunday morning! Had a great time. We got plenty more to explore up there, more trips ahead. Always a pleasure, catch up with you soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesome buck Scott! Would love to see the pheasant clips too. I have only fished the Clarion once but I love that area up there. I need to get back soon. Great video as always!
Hey Scott! Thank you brother! Well, the pheasant video hopefully will be out in several weeks after I get enough clips. Yes, Elk County is just beautiful this time of year. The leaves were actually turning colors a few weeks earlier up there, the leaves falling were a bit of a nuisance, but we made it work. appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hey Dave! Hope you’re getting into some big smallmouths this Fall. Going on my annual warmup pheasant hunt with my dogs tomorrow, they love it, me too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
yo scotty, hey nice fall video from the clarion. pretty good day you guys had out there. very nice wild browns. the leaves are a coming, lol. i was out in the raging Lehigh other day and did pretty well nymphing bottom. got into some good ones. almost time to start bowhunting, rutt is coming. heading up to the lodge in potter to check out the progress next week, and gonna fish the firstfork. ok buddy, great video as usual my friend
Hi Mike! Good to hear the Lehigh is fishing well. Hope you have success during archery season, love the woods this time of year. I’m sure the First Fork will be prime, go get ‘em! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I was up there fishing the Clarion about the same time last year. Fished from the outflow all the way down to Cooks Forest. I think all but two trout I caught on the LaFontaine pupae. The evening caddis hatches were heavy.
Hello Neil! I don’t know if I’ll make it up this year, but if I do, I’ll try that section also. Thanks for the report! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hi Scott, Very nice video with Fall Colors! Pa is spectacular this time of year.. Couldn't tell if you are deaddrifting the soft hackle hares ear with weight or swinging it ? Neat takes! Looks from the camera angle like they are soft hits.. Congratulations on Your Fine Buck, I gotta get in a tree now! Haah
Hello Tony! Thank you very much! Yes, I was dead drifting my rig and letting it go through the swing and hang at the end of each drift, some of the hits were soft but most were easily noticeable, just harder to see on camera. I wish you luck on your deer season, shoot straight and be safe! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Good morning Joseph! I’ll be back up there again to explore more, tons of water, a shame such a long drive for me 🙁. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good morning Scott. Loved this video. When you fished the East branch was the dam inn just down the road? I’ve fished that area. But the best fishing I’ve done was down stream from the paper mill small road south by a gas station floated all the way to ridge way. Caught the largest brown on large dry crappy rainy day just blind casting along the bank about a mile from ridge way. I’m going to fish the broad head at a few of the parks north of Stroudsburg. Good luck with the pheasants. I use to raise German short hair pointers. Thank again for the video.
Hey Michael! I really don't know how close we were to the dam. We did check out that dirt road behind the gas station, but flows were pretty low there, so we didn't fish it. Actually, just got back from our warmup pheasant hunt, dogs did great, but the older guy, 12 years old, was beat, he still flushed the most birds though. the younger boy found most of the birds. I think they had a personal understanding on the way there, "I'll flush, you retrieve". HA!! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Good morning Arthur! Yes, Fall colors were coming early up there, and so were the falling leaves, Augh! But we made it work. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@mvsc-k5e Well, keep practicing, also check out my video, Nymphing Strategies Part 3 or last year’s Summer video, My Leader Setup. Both of those should help seeing my leader setup and technique.
That big sycamore tree to your right in this video is now uprooted and fell across the riffle were you caught the small trout. I have been watching the point where that sycamore tree is and the dirt and creek bank in front and behind it has been eroding for years. It finally fell over and has a huge root ball in the air
Hi Rodney! Well, don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing, sometimes it impedes the flow and ruins a great drift, sometimes it creates depth. But I hear ya, I’ve witnessed the same thing on other streams too, good thing is, it creates a better holding area and safety for the fish. Appreciate watching and commenting.
Hello Carl! the flow on the Clarion compared to the Upper Delaware, at the same cfs is much faster and tougher to wade. Very different streams and gradient and structure. The Clarion, I give a 6 or 7 out of 10, the Delaware is definitely a 10/10. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey Scott, Just wanted to congratulate you on filling up those deer tags. I was also was wondering if you do well at all with an October caddis or a tan caddis pattern throughout this time of the year? I can only speak for myself when I say this, but I seem to do much better with a smaller tan rather than a much larger October caddis in most of the streams here in eastern Pennsylvania.
Hello buddy! I experience the same, better luck with tan or the hares ear soft hackle but only some success with the October Caddis dry or soft hackle, probably because they’re not as distributed on as many streams, seems the little tan or olive caddis are everywhere. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I know they stock fingerlings in the clarion, but not all stocked trout are non fertile. The conditions of the clarion river have improved tremendously! With the amount of bug life and water temperatures, coupled with fisherman releasing their catch more often, I truly believe that rainbows are reproducing there and in many other streams in PA.
Another awesome video Scott! It’s awesome to watch you fish the same waters I frequently fish! I learn something from your videos every time I watch and I can tell you I’ll be looking into getting my soft hackle supply stocked up! Keep those videos coming my friend!
@@d.j.hopkins4925 Thank you brother! Appreciate all your kind words. Oh my yes, gotta be stocked up on soft hackles, such and effect fly pattern in all sizes and colors, and very easy to tye 👍🏻.
Good morning buddy! That’s what I hear, I’ll definitely have to give it a shot again during the Spring hatches. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Jeff! My man! Thank you brother! I’m having fun, hope you are too. Glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
A super video. I love catching 10-13 inch trout, lotus of fun and I don’t have to take a nap, like catching those big boys.
Hi Doug! Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on the Tully soon. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
That was some great fishing and catching!! Well Done!!
Thank you very much Bob! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you’re able to get out there and have some fun also. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thanks for the video. Glad to see you back!
Thank you brother! Glad to be back. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hi Scott thanks for taking us along on another fishing trip.... looking forward to (hopefully) an extended fall fishing season.

Wow Scott, that's a big buck for you. No video on the hunt. Wow Scott the great white hunter and expert fisherman. Congratulations good buddy.
Mr George! Hope you’re doing well and thank you very much! Sadly, no video of the deer hunts. But pheasant season is around the corner. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Fantastic buck Scottie! Congratulations! I’m glad your back! Great video as always. Tight lines!

Nice buck! I'll have to add the Clarion to my list to hit at some point...thanks for the informative video.
Thank you Phil! Yes, the Clarion is definitely worth a trip, hope you get a chance one day. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Nice video Scott, and glad you are back on line here.
Big water and nice action for this time of year.
All the best and thanks again for all you bring to us

Congrats on the buck and tagging out. You went pretty far west, thinking not a day trip. Great video Scott, always look forward to your posts.
Mr. Mike! Thank you buddy! Yes, about a good hour west of State College. Definitely an overnighter. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Nice Video Buddy! I figured you were in a tree somewhere. Nice Buck and some decent Browns for you guys! Keep em coming.

Thank you buddy! Yes, limited time to hunt, I can fish year round. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
No Rainbow reproduction. They stock fingerlings.
Hi Alan! Yes, I’ve just read about that, supposedly stock tons of fingerlings every year. Seems to be working. Thanks for watching and commenting.
