    Finding trout in a river is easy just follow the stocking truck lol
  • Every fly fisherman should watch this. I've come back over years and learned something new each time I watch
  • Thank you! I've been fly fishing now for 30+ years. This video both confirms my experience and suggest some things I should consider. Well done!!!!!

    Here’s the biggest thing to consider and it’ll help almost every time. What is nature all about? What are trout all about? Consuming the most energy for the least amount of work in the safest way possible. What does this tell you? It means that trout are going to tend toward safe areas where the foam line, etc. will bring them food. Undercuts, areas behind rocks, little eddies in the middle of the river, places where cover is close by. Sometimes fish will do things for fish reasons that we just don’t understand in the moment. They’ll be in funny spots or just not feeding…but if you start with a basic understanding of what’s important to trout, you’ll be in 14665778x better shape than if you’re just shooting into the dark.
  • Tom and Orvis. You guys are true professionals. Really liked this video and the reminders of where to find fish and what waters to avoid. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to get out to my beloved Sierras soon. Would love to fish with a pro like yourself someday. Keep up the great work.
  • What a great series. I recently took a 3 part series on Reading the Water. It was also great and I learned the basics. This video adds to that and really brings it all together. Best part, I am getting the same exact information. Look for seams, hydraulic pockets, pools, cover, etc. I did learn to follow the foam line. Great job. I love everything Orvis and Tom Rosenbauer. I primarily listen on the podcast, but I also love videos.

    I’ve just recently started catching a few trout in my local river. It was mainly small pike previously. This is the exact video I needed, thanks!
  • @toborg1511
    Great video - I am in Colorado, been fly fishing for 30 years. Good video to remember tips long forgotten, and an excellent video to show beginners and youngsters - to spur the interest and show how it's a fun, strategic quest.
  • @sonnyblom
    Really great and informative! Sums up lifetimes of knowledge of streams in 30 minutes! Really good balance between real knowledge / science, and intuitive feeling. Thank you.
  • Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm here in Southern Colorado, mostly fishing the Arkansas river, and other local tributaries. As a single mom, fishing is my savior. Now if only I could get my hands on some Orvis gear! Nice video.
  • This video was very helpful. Learning from an expert with years of experience is quite helpful. The illustrations are helpful in conjunction with the narrative. Learned alot of trout fishing tricks and also knowing where not to fish.
  • @martybousum1010

  • @mikekrol7485
    Headed to work. I'll be watching this with a cold beer tonight. Thank you Tom and Orvis for the content. You need to have a contest, with a trip to fish with Tom as first prize.
  • @murrayhowse4905
    When in a overfished river I always fish in the least likely spots and get good results E.g 1 foot deep water and ragging current. Great vid
  • Wow just learned how much time I've been wasting for the past twenty some years fishing the wrong areas I appreciate your insight we'll be going to Missouri next weekend look forward to trying stuff out
