- Fly Fishing a small creek for wild rainbow trout, brook trout, and brown trout!!
In this video I decided to go winter trout fishing for a few hours and managed to catch my first brown trout of the year. I then moved locations and caught my first rainbow trout and brook trout of the year out of a tiny creek. It was a great day spent in the outdoors.

I definitely enjoy these less formal productions. They have a chill vibe and really capture the relaxation of fishing. I hope you continue with them.
This is all I needed to see. I'll try to make them a regular occurrence this upcoming year! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Very nice, and entertaining.

Look all wild - beautiful colors
Good Streem and Beautiful Trout! Thank you for your video~
I just love this non-special with nothing too fancy. Love the action....CHEERS
Great video. Keep the "simple" pleasure of fishing for a couple hours coming, thanks for 2023, looking forward to 2024.
Thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the videos in 2023
You gave us an exceptional year of top quality videos in 2023 (Thank you!), and you’re off to a great start in ‘24! I like both your video formats - and I have especially enjoyed your multi-part series.
Multi part series will of course be continuing! I'll try to do probably 2 or 3 this year
Beautiful stream...
Nice format. Like it. Incredible rainbow.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love all your videos. It doesn't matter what you do, just don't stop! Thanks Jon. Loved the settings too.
Thank you!! Glad you're enjoying all of the videos
Will gladly view anything you decide to record and post. That 2nd brown was a BEAUT! Way to start the year with a trout slam.
Another awesome video well done
Beautiful stream , thank you
Jon
You are the master when it comes to Euro Nymphging. I look forward to watching each video you publish. I love the sound of the streams you are fishing without the music. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Awesome video! Can't wait to get back on the water.
I really enjoy your videos!....beautiful catch! .....FISH ON! Thanks for sharing this 💪 😊
I like the straightforward approach when there's nothing important to say about the stream or your methods.
Good point! I agree, that's why these last few videos have been straight forward honestly... didn't really have much to say beyond the fishing. Thanks for watching
WOW 😍😍 beautiful we're are you
I wouldn't think they'd hit flies when there's no hatch sort of speak, that's some beautiful area your fishing at, beautiful markings on the brown, all Nice...
Thank you for showing us the flies you are using! I am a novice fly fisherman whose only caught the big three trout so any help is great!
Thanks for watching!!
Great video, keep them coming
Excellent video... Nice job! I am home trying to stay warm and this captured the charms of stream fishing..
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
That creek is absolutely beautiful.
I 100% agree! Thanks for watching
Can I ask what is your camera setup and rigs, tripods etc.
Nice fishing 😊😊
Sweet bro I love fishing
this is some of my favourite videos on your channel ! you used to make a lot ofthem ! if you could bring them back i couldn't be more happy !! Great job for everthing you've done with this channel ! keep the good work it is much appreciated !! have a great year of fishing and everthing else !
Thank you so much!! I'll definitely do more of these videos in the future! Thanks for watching and have a great year of fishing yourself!
Yea bro. Like this style of video. And nice hat trick.
Thank you!
Fun watch! Enjoyed 😀👍
Keep it going. I will watch. That looks like a nice stream. We have some super nice looking spots round here in southern New England. Go fish the Natchaug.
I like this spur of the moment type of fishing. It’s more realistic than an edited video to me.👍
Noted! Thanks for watching!
Love me some fly fishing as a young man growing up in WV
Yes. I like it. Thanks
Fantastic and congrats on your first caught Brown, Rainbow and Brook Trout's of 2024. The colors on those fish were beautiful ! Both of your video formats are fantastic and enjoyable so keep em coming ... perhaps a little less time getting snagged and more time fishing ! 😉🤭
HAHAHAA next time I won't get stuck I promise! Thanks for watching and giving some feedback
Beautiful area around the waterfall. Looks like it would be loaded. Have watched all your videos. Keep up the great work Jim. Would love for you to get back k down to Georgia to show me some real fishing.
That rainbow's markings and colors was the cat's meow. I don't get out much, butt still just a beautiful fish. The brown speaks for itself. Sheesh.
As cold as it was, you had perfect timing, sometimes that happens. Enjoyed watching. 👍
I'd rather be lucky than good!! Thanks for watching
That's a very pretty brown. And nice size.
Very nice!!!! Love it!
Great video! Congrats on the slam!
Glad to see an Oak Hill boy doing well!
Keep up the good work
Yessir!!! Thanks man!
WV? I used to live in Fayetteville...
Yes. I enjoy these.
Another one coming out in a few days!
man that rainbow trout was gorgeous, my 1st wild rainbow trout was the most gorgeous fish I've seen other than some of the brookies you catch
My home water! Love these types of videos man. Keep em coming!
John, I wish you a very healthy, prosperous and exciting New Year. Happy to watch a video of you again. 👌
Thank you!! I wish you the best in the New Year as well!
Love your video whether you put the fancy stuff on it or just you doing your thing. Look forward to seeing you have in store for us in 24.
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoy them! 2024 will be an awesome year
Love these simple videos! Don’t mind the longer edited ones though either. Tight lines and come to Idaho… i’ll put u on some amazing fish👀
Love the small water! Looks like a great start for the New Year!
It definitely was! Thanks for watching Larry
I like these vids. Easier to relate to when someone isn’t singing “THERES SOMETHING IN THE AIR” in my ear lol
LOL I know what you mean 😂
GREAT VID THANK YOU!!!!
Man, not gonna lie, we have some beautiful water in our state, but that first creek in this video will always have a soft spot in my heart. It’s like a diamond in the rough. Another great video bud!
I've fished that stream for probably 2 decades... which is crazy to say out loud. Thanks for watching
are yall in NC?@@hardmanfishing
It is wonderful to have no music.
Love your videos!! Love what you do!! Happy NEW YEAR!! Can't wait to see what happens!! Fish on!! 😁🎣🙏❤️
Thank you! Happy New Years to you too!
@@hardmanfishing "The tug is the drug""!! Catching big browns is very addictive!! If there's anything better, I want to try it!! Loving LIFE!! FISH ON!!
Beautiful trout! Great Job! I do love this type of video, but I also appreciate your skill in editing and filmography. I watch them all. 🙂
I miss trout fishing so much. I live in West Tennessee where we have muddy creeks and warm water.
Nice fish
Far out and solid man 🇺🇸🙂👍
Far out? 😂 I haven't heard that in years! Thanks for the flash back...
another reeealll good video
I really like this type of video, comming from the uk I especially like seeing the surrounding scenery, perhaps you could show more of it in future. It always amazes me how you can catch fish from such small streams like where you caught the last two fish. To be able to cast a fly amongst all those trees takes a lot of skill. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you! I'll definitely work more of that into the videos!
@@hardmanfishing Thanks, I'll look forward to that
THE HARDMAN BOYS DONT MISS‼️
what a paradise!
Great stuff! I do enjoy all your videos, probably just prefer these types, get that feel of nature more.
Cheers
I enjoy both. I like the production style videos as that's what I'm usually up to. But I also love days where your just fishing nothing crazy just a gold old day of fishing nothing to prove. As always keep it up guys!
Thank you so much!!
I live in utah and its crazy to me that in january your out in the mountains with little snow i wish i could be up there fishing those alpine lakes.
Yep it's a little different out east!! Thanks for watching
I went fly fishing New Years Eve and was catching rainbows on size #18 Parachute midge dries. I had a blast. Anyway, I really enjoyed the video!
That's awesome! Congrats, and thanks for watching!
someone get this man the fisherman of the year award
That's a realllllll nice comment
yes to this type of video
Love the content man! Would love more of these uploads.
I definitely will be posting more like this! Thanks for watching
Fishing streams this size in Wyoming was my favorite type of fishingIve ever done.
awesome dude
im in iowa no fishing lately
Your highly produced videos are great of course. But I really like the lower production stuff. Feels like we’re out fishing with you instead of watching a film. Reminds me of drewlooknfishy, one of my favorites. Keep ‘em coming
Drew is awesome! Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
I actually prefer the videos without music! I love to hear the sound of the water and nature when you’re not talking!
No music is a blessing, this is a fishing video and not a musicvideo...
What is this beautiful river you are on? That is some awesome looking waters.
I enjoy all of 'em. Please continue with the sparse editions.
Don't you dare delete footage Hardman....even to slow days are breathtaking.! Beutiful scenery and beautiful water!
Trifecta, that's what we call a Va. Slam.
I was surprised any water was open to trout this time of year but looking at a couple of different states it seems there are special classifications on some waters. Love this "raw" video. Edit: Could you start by describing your gear? Pole, line and weight, waders, net etc? Just a quick "this is what I'm using today". Be interesting at least for me.
Of course! And thanks for watching and giving me some feedback
The little Brooke aresoooo pretty and aggressive! Hoping you didn't get hurt going down there !
Beautiful! Spot fish and technique 👍🏼👍🏼 hitting that sub button
Thanks for the sub!!
I enjoyed it just fine without all of the fancy editing, it felt more like I was there fishing with you. I still like the other ones too! Great job for making the best trout fishing videos on you tube.
Thank you for the kind words!!
new year’s was my best day on the water🙌
Watching from aus beaut fishing
Thank you!
Nice
I really like your videos and I’m glad that you’re living the dream bro! I’ve been wanting to get out there and do some fishing but I can’t seem to find any time.? But you’re motivating me really hard!👍👌
SWeeeeet 😍👍👍
Nice....I love fishing small rivers and creeks like that. May I suggest wearing camouflage clothing so you blend with the environment. They can see you through the water. Avoid wearing bright colors at the very least.
Good start to the year. I like both formats but if it helps you put out more content then less editing is fine with me. Discussing techniques and rigs means more to me than a soundtrack.
Great feedback!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. It helps me decide what I'm doing in the future
That rainbow looks like it was part cutthroat! 😊
Love your videos, I'm really looking into starting fly fishing like this out east where I'm at. what kind of gear and areas do you recommend? thanks!
Much better without the music- nature sounds the best - Thanks
Great video man! I’m sure you get this a lot but I’d love a video of you showing the different rods that you use in your videos. Your brother too
We can definitely do that!
I love seeing techniques and such. I fish mainly the stupid lower provo river. that river is notoriously hard! 7 hours and 1 fish today! I'm struggling, which fks with my confidence and makes me fish worse. Also the river flooded hard last year from its normal 250 cubic feet/second to over 1700. so the entire bottom of the river has changed and where the fish gathered last year, are not the same places they are gathering this year....apparently.
I've fished the Provo and it can be tough...
Maxia SX 10.8#3 Para pescar a ninfa en esos rios es una maravilla !!!
Wonderful video! Which state are you in and what was the temp outside? It’s freezing where I am lol!
Awesome!! Hey how are you securing your net when both hands are free to unhook and release the trout?
Dude I saw a big chunk of gold in that creek at 5:40. I don’t know how u walked by that without seeing it
...Terrific video. Curious, what is your set-up,fly line. Thank you...
Man I bet a small rapalla would be great there especially with them aggressive browns
It can be depending on the time of year!
Already know this is definitely gonna be a banger happy new year btw
Happy new year to you too!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What rod and reel was used in this video? Also fantastic Video!
As I also live in WV, I wish I knew what creeks you're fishing so I could eliminate a lot if wasted time drowning flies in empty waters.
