This is what a real day of fly fishing in the Appalachian mountains looks like... especially small stream dry fly fishing. I caught some good fish but also continuously got stuck, lost flies, and lost fish!
In this video I went fly fishing on public land in West Virginia in search of wild trout. This creek is one of my favorite tiny creeks, with native brook trout living underneath every rock. These small creeks nestled in the Appalachian mountains are something special!
I ended up catching around 15 fish on the day, with my best and coolest catches being featured in this video. The terrain in this area is beautiful and the weather was perfect for dry fly fishing. For this video I decided to leave in my most frustrating moments, showing me getting stuck, losing flies, and losing fish. I think my issue was that I haven't actually dry fly fished in probably 6 months, which meant I had to kick some rust off before I was able to get back into it.
I decided to leave out the music from this video in favor of the more relaxing and natural sounds of nature. I also just wanted to thank everybody for the support on the videos over the last few months. It has been incredible to see so many views on my random little fishing adventures. Thanks for the support.
