The Best Way To Catch Big Wild Brown Trout! (Fly Fishing)

This is how my brother and I have caught some of our biggest wild brown trout!!

It's a pretty simple technique which just involves streamer fishing, moving the biggest brown trout you can, and then nymphing that spot hoping you can fool him into eating a nymph. You can easily move a bunch of water streamer fishing which is much more difficult to effectively do with a nymph, and it typically produces the biggest fish. But an effective tight line/euro nymphing setup and fisherman can easily catch some big fish if you can figure out exactly where they are sitting.

Andrew and I have used this technique a lot in the past year or two and it has produced some of our biggest wild brown trout, several of which were in the upper 20's. It is fairly easily replicated across the US and in big or small water. One of the reasons Fly fishing is so effective is in part due to how many techniques you can use with one style of fishing.

I hope everyone enjoyed! Thanks for watching.

Hi guys! I'm an Italian fly fisher, and your channel is really the best i found on youtube...I'm a fly fisher from "only" 20 years.. i say "only" cause every day there's something new to learn. Maybe that's why after 20 years this type of fishing has never bored me ... Now i'm 35, and when I watch your videos I see two guys respectful towards the fish and the river; two people who know how to be amazed by the beauty of their surroundings. This is the point: there are many good fishermen, but you are good fishermen who love everything that the river and nature gives us. Thanks for these videos! They make me discover new beautiful places! If you ever want to go on a trout fishing trip in Italy, let me know, I am hosting you! We have so many beautiful streams and rivers here too. Hello boyz!

Great video! Thanks for the tips on how to catch larger trout. Your “move ‘em with a streamer, go back with a nymph” technique makes a lot of sense to me.

Super good advice! It made me want to get out there and give this technique a try. It is so cool of you to take the time to help teach us all some cool new ways to catch big browns!

Just like all your videos this one was great!
I especially appreciate the bit of detail you added at the end regarding the flies you’re using as well as the pep talk and advice about getting on the water as much as possible to develop and hone the skills required to be successful! Very inspiring and great incentive to keep watching, fishing and learning!!!
Please keep the great content coming!!

I've been with your channel since the almost the beginning and it keeps getting better.
Congratulations! Your roots are in streamer fishing and that's why I keep following. Just one tip that could increase your hookup rate. Keep your rod tip low and even in the water, to reduce the slack line at your rod tip, when stripping in your streamers. See if that doesn't increase your hookups and reduce your missed strikes. Tight Lines and keep up the great videos!

Hey I'm loving these videos. They are so very awesome, I am a fellow West Virginia boy born in raised on the Elk River in Braxton County. I've spent my short 23 years on earth solely spin fishing but today you have inspired me to go out and buy the gear to fly fish. Here's to new beginnings 🍻. You also gained a new subscriber. Looking forward to new content.
