I enjoy watching you fish. You describe your fishing and the fish clearly and in an interesting way. I also appreciate the types of streams you fish. With respect, I don't see the advantage of Tenkara over regular fly fishing. I have fly fished for over 50 years, and I haven't seen you do anything that can't be done with a fly rod. A fly rod allows you to do many more things, mainly because you can lengthen and shorten the line without changing it.

I suppose it’s like *really* primitive bow hunting/archery. Sure, a modern traditional recurve bow with an arrow shelf, ergonomic handle and fiberglass limbs is probably more practical…but it’s the simplicity, challenge and taking part of that particular history that makes shooting with something more ancient a unique experience. I mean, wouldn’t you be curious to see what it would be like to fish with the equipment and techniques of the old samurai?

You are the KZitem master of small stream trout fishing. My favorite kind of fishing. I like to practice more stealth. Though small, some of these trout have lived in the same place for many years and have become very sensitive to light changes. I've caught 13" native brookies creeks much smaller than this.

I love fishing for smallmouth bass but back in the day I only wanted to catch trout and one day I caught a 2 lb smallie in the lower reaches of a trout stream and was disappointed...cause I wanted to catch trout THAT day and nothing else. Any other day I would have been thrilled at a really nice smallie. Yeah, I know the mindset. Nothing wrong with that. Enjoyed the video! BTW, the lower section of that creek was definitely more silted. I'm guessing livestock erosion.

The Apache is a special trout that is on my bucket list. Searched for months for information on them and where to get them. But the Apache are somewhat like the brook here in NC. All the other trout are more aggressive and therefore will take over their habitat so like the brook trout here in NC. They moved to higher elevations to avoid the other species. At one time I do believe they were determined extinct but were found in a higher elevation stream. I may be getting this mixed up with the Gila trout. Will need to check on that. But no matter the size, the thrill is still the same!!!

VERY hard fish to chase. I've chased them 4 different times empty handed. Most of the info you get on the Apache trout is essentially garbage -- just general tips and info, sometimes with area maps with town names on it to give you a false sense of encouragement. Just recently I was back at it again, but this time I threw it all out there. I could have done the research like you but didn't have time for it, so I found a small flyshop/outdoor sports shop there and decided to play a little game. I'd start chatting it up with whomever worked there, and if I determined I thought they knew something I would start putting flies in the bucket. After around $120 I FINALLY started getting some good info that I could rely on, LOL. The info lead me to an area that was breathtaking, but unfortunately I spent so much time prospecting the place that I had just only started to get into them before I had to leave. Shame, it's starting to become something of an expedition adventure for me. Guess I'll have to clear out my schedule next spring I suppose.

They actually stock Apache trout in some of the streams in the Arizona white mountains but a few years ago the hatchery had some disease and they started doing rainbow. I didn’t make it up there last summer so don’t know if they’re doing Apache again or still rainbow. A few years back I read they’re trying to make the west fork of the black river all Apache trout like it was traditionally before the introduction of other species. They’ve put up a lot of fish barriers and were going to kill all the fish in the west fork and then reintroduce only the Apache and make it a catch and release only stream. I’m not surer where they are in this process presently.

You are pretty aggressive hooking those little fish Any fish with the black line through its eye is an apache trout or hybrid of one, their colors change a lot throughout their maturity but no other fish has the black line through the eye like warpaint and thats what i use to ID them. I have seen them with redish sides like a california golden, i have seen them pretty much just goldish brown with almost no black spots They all have the distinct black line through the iris.
