Fly Fishing Northern PA / Wild Brook Trout

Published 2023-07-17
Had a great day exploring this exceptional Class A brook trout stream in northern PA. Caught over 30 wild brook trout on the fly rod, so many I had to edit out quite a few to make the video a reasonable length. In addition I landed my PERSONAL BEST brook trout in PA!!

    Another unbelievable video Jon. They don't get much bigger than that here in PA. Its super rare, but always a treat to run into one of that caliber. Keep up the amazing work as usual!

    Just. Excellent! Your filming and editing improve each time. The intro was exceptional. Great underwater views. Thank you for taking us along!

    Wow that was a monster brook trout for a Pa mountain stream. Awesome!
  • Great video! The cinematography was awesome. Definitely the kind of stream you search for a while to find and when you find it you remember it forever.
  • @edligus8383
    Awesome experience, thank you for sharing!
  • Wow, cracking fish and very skillful casting, the scenery-amazing!🎣
  • Nice day! I love that serendipitous feeling when you have an expectedly productive day. There's a small blue ridge stream that has become one of my favorites this year. It suffers early in the season from low water but after a rain the brookies are very eager, similar to your experience. And the big one was a beast, congrats!

    Not sure how you are going to top that video. Thanks for taking us along.
  • Great video and monster on that little stream. Under the branch 😊
  • @user-ws2jy1hm7e
    Great video it reminds me of so. Co pa. Deep in the mountains a 10 + inch fish is a beautiful trophy

    Beautiful example of wild natives. I had to hike 4 miles into Elk county to grab a brookie just like that one on a rooster tail.
  • The release at 6:20 looks like the hand of god reached down to give this fish a second chance hahaha πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ It looks intentional unless you see that the light from through the trees just happens to be where he released the fish. Pretty fun
