On the search for unpressured trout water I came across this gem of a creek using the techniques from my Finding New Fishing Spots video. Come along with me as I see if there be decent Trout in the Creek. Thanks for Watching!

Back at the Smallies again! Floated a stretch I have never done and found a LOT of Smallmouth...eh...Small Smallmouth in an Absolutely Stunning Georgous River. The fish were many and on the small side but I had an absolute Ball playing with them. Come Join Me as I drink in Mother Nature's Beauty and maybe a taste of her Dark Side. Thanks for Watching!

Like the Squints in Bones or the Scooby Gang in Buffy, I show you how I do research to find new fishing spots. From the Everglades, to the Smokies, to the SC Coastal Marshes here is how I find my Fishing Holes. Hope you all get something out of this or at least I point you in the right direction for a new Honey Hole in your Neck of the Woods! Thanks for Watching!

There are times ya can't Always Fish where ya Want. Due to Holiday Crowds, Dirty Water, Time Constraints, etc...Yeah we have all been there so you Settle for Second Best...and Sometimes, it was what your Soul Needed. Mine did and It's All Good! Playing with Small Fish in Small Creeks. Thanks for Watching!

Welcome back! Today we Fly Fish a small lake for Large Mouth Bass with Deer Hair Poppers from the trusty Old Town Pack Canoe. I caught fish and had a ball. Nothing big was caught but fun was big time! Thanks for Watching and Hope to see You on the Water Sometime!

Due to a bum Knee and Metatarsal issues in the other foot, I had to pick a stream that was close to the road and with a gentle drop so I headed to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a day of Spring Fly Fishing. I caught a few nothing big but...a day in the Smokies...what a Joy! Guys, that place gets in the blood and calls you back. Thanks for coming and watching!

Here are my favorite Fly Fishing Clips of my first Year 2020 videos! Please excuse the lack of video editing skills cause...I did not know what I was doing back then! Not that I do now to be honest. Enjoy and Thanks for Watching!

ALL the rivers are high, flash floods happened, got Memorial Day weekend off, want to catch fish but where? Great Smoky Mountains NP of course! I go up high to the small tributaries that drain quickly and try to catch some trout on Dry Flies. I did but they were SMALL so we had a Dink Fest. I promise you Beauty, very small Trout, and a LOT of people. Hope you enjoy another Smokies MisAdventure! Thanks for watching! More important...Thanks to the Women and Men who have laid down their Lives for Freedom, our Rights, and the Republic of the USA! We owe them a debt that can never be repaid. The least we can do is Remember Them. God Bless America! Extra Extra, Read All About It! There will be a Sequel. Yeah, still Paying.

One of my favorite Smallmouth Bass Rivers was CLEAR last Saturday! It usually is not so I took the Canoe and the Fly Rod for a 5 mile float and caught some Bronze Beauties. However, I had to pay the price and got into 2 thunderstorms, dodged countless tubers, and the fish were NOT predictable and would not be patterned. i caught some anyway and had a Ball doing it. Come join me on a float down a great river for some really decent Smallies...on the Fly of course! Thanks for Watching!

Today we discuss why I do Not Kiss and Tell or Hot Spot Fishing Holes. Thanks for Watching and Hope to See You on the Water Sometime!

Yep, I tried me dry flies and caught a couple but it was NOT happening! So I dug in my back pocket and found a very old playbook technique that still works today. Yes, I fished a Wet Fly like they did back in the 1800s. Yeah, like those Gents back in the day who were fishing in Top Hats, Vests, and Bamboo Rods etc., etc. I'm talking OLD SCHOOL! Had a blast on one of my favorite rivers and...Guys n Gals...sit back and enjoy. The Scenery, the bigger fish, the just Awesomeness of it all. Can't wait to go back! Thanks for watching! Love you You'All!

Had a couple of hours late last Sunday afternoon so I went to an old favorite creek in Nantahala National Forest to Fly Fish for some wild brown trout. I found some in a long slow pool sipping small midges in size 20 and 22. Very spooky fish and a stealthy approach and soft landing accurate were the order of the day. Come along with me as I stalk some rising trout in slow shallow water. No mistakes tolerated by Mr Brown Trout! Thanks for watching!

Great Smokey Mountain National Park Fly Fishing for Trout! It's Saturday, in the Smokies, in the Spring, and the weather is PERFECT so everyone and their brother are out trout fishing. I had to battle the Crowd to find a spot to fish but I managed and got into them for a while then it was back to dodging the Crowd. I even hiked up 2.5 or so miles and still could not quite get away from the competition. Hope you guys enjoy the video! Thanks for stopping by and watching the madness!

Great Smokey Mountain National Park Fly Fishing for Trout! I'm back! Life thru me a couple of curve balls but I got it sorted and now back to the trenches. Oh I made a mistake! And I know better but I messed up anyway. One mistake compounds into another! Guys n Gals, if ya show up late to fish a small stream, hike way up a mile or 2 to avoid fishing behind someone else. Caught brookies, browns, and bows...yes, the Smokies Slam of Trout Fishing. Thanks for Watching!

Facing Post Frontal Conditions Again! Arrrrg! It ain't Fair! Also the water level in the big rivers was high. Throw in high winds just for kicks. But like I've said before, you go when ya can...not when it's best. I did manage a few while I explored a new small stream. Come join me as I try to turn Lemons into Lemonade! Thanks for Watching!

Post front winter fishing can be really bad but I did manage a few fish in the only water that was not high. Come join me as I fish a really pretty creek for some really small rainbows on a dry fly. Thanks for watching!

There are times on a long fishing trip when for hours the fish do not bite and ya only catch 1 or 2...hard to make a good video out of that!. Here are clips of the oneses and twoses caught here and there, Gars, Cichlids, and funny moments that did not make it into the other videos. Thanks for watching and hope you guys and gals enjoy the "action"! Spoiler alert...Big Snook near the end.

I went back to a different section of the canal I fished in EP 1 but the tide just had not dropped quite low enough to drive most of the fish out of the grass but I managed quite a few in the last hour or so of day light. Everglades Fly Fishing for Snook in some heart breaking scenery. I teared up when I had to leave. Thanks for watching!

It was a struggle of a morning and then lo and behold I find me self surrounded by micro snook and OK tarpon. At times a hit on every cast. I found fish in the middle of the day and they were not where I expected. The fish schooled me. I love it! Thanks for watching!

It's the last hour of day light. I'm reeling in my line and heading for the boat ramp. It has been a slow day with few fish caught. I am defeated! But wait! There, over there...is that a tarpon rolling? Sure is and I got into them in the Last Gleaming of Twilight. Come join me as I snag a few silver kings in the Everglades on the Fly Rod. Thanks for watching!

Back to the Glades to catch Snook on the Fly Rod - Yeah, somebodies got to do it. The winter has not been kind with it seems like bad weather every weekend so I packed up and headed south to Fly Fish for Snook and Tarpon, More videos on the way! Thanks for watching!

Over a year ago (October 2020) I bought a new Orvis Clearwater 9ft 8wt Fly Rod and Large Arbor Fly Reel. Today the jury gives the verdict. Spoiler Alert! It just ROCKS! Thanks for watching!

Every time I get back from a successful Everglades trip...I must pay my sacrifice to the fish gods and that usually involves several trout trips that are a GRIND. This time it was no different. If I got to pay my dues then why not do it in Great Smoky Mountain NP, right? So I try some streamer fishing and try other different flies and at the bottom of the 9th, last 2 hours of day light, I score a few runs on a Grey Caddis Dry Fly. Stay tuned till the very end to watch me battle a nice brownie from another (GRIND) trip. Thanks for watching and hope to see you on the water sometime!

I kid you NOT! I went fishing in a new creek for mountain trout. I expected about what I got...small fish but funny thing is the fish got bigger as I fished and I was catching them on a size 12 Yellow Jacket Dry Fly...THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS! Watch till the end cause the biggest(least smallest) fish was the last one caught and that was after the outtro. Thanks for watching and enjoy the lunacy!
