Russian River CA - So Many Fish

hey welcome back to another episode of something fishy today we're going to be fishing a new part of the river which we have not fished yet we're going to be using this new little fly tied up it's kind of looking like a bluegill mimic and uh also on the ultralight we're going to be throwing a moth fly also in a pattern that's designed for kind of smallmouth all right let's get on it one foot deep area right here that i'm getting trailers with and oh they're going for it little mop fly seeing all sorts of little strikes not feeling anything grab it though but they're definitely chasing it up the stream here let's oh hit they're just like going upstream for it that's pretty cool oh another hit they're wanting it i need to tie some mop flies that are shorter because i get tons of short strikes with it ah look at that there's like four of them chasing it i wonder if i should i wonder if i can see them if i put the camera underwater all right there they're over this color oh whoa that's pretty cool all right we're gonna keep moving that was pretty cool though they they kept striking it until they short struck it enough where they they knew it wasn't something they could eat all right i found a deep hole here let's see if there's anything in it oh here we go a little something what do we got oh a little smallmouth trying to spike me wow dude little guy's trying to get me this little beauty there you go wow it's strong beautiful beautiful little guy all right we're gonna keep working this top part here we won't interfere with down there yet oh a little short strike there let's cast up a little further in the pool oh right off that rock oh two or three fish fought for it there we go finally caught a second fish looks like a little uh pike minnow or something like that on the dropper i have here a little scud dropper yeah a little pike minnow little teeny guy wow he's small little guy finally i caught something on that damn dropper i was wondering if i was it was a good pattern or not oh almost caught another one here's a little school of of uh pikeman as it looks like they're using me as a been standing here for so long all right let's see what you got oh it was another uh it was a little pikemin now hopefully you got a good glimpse at it maybe i'll be able to do a freeze frame oh that little guy was all over the place i hope you caught at least some of the jumps these fish are using me as a structure and as a way to kick up debris so i kick a little bit and then i try to drop it in the cloud there's about 300 fish right here and fish constantly jumping in this nice little stretch and it's getting too deep for me to walk but there is some place for me to get on land right over here ah all right so all these fish are dropping for this lure but i kind of only want a bigger fish to hit it got him oh i got off damn i kind of wasn't trying to set it until the bigger fish grabbed it and just kind of bee lined it straight to it let's see if we can get another one here oh nice little hit right there but i couldn't see oh decent one decent one decent one oh decided not to dig it he short striked it that's what happened ah these little fish are going crazy let it hit the bottom it's hard too sucks oh nice hit right there oh oh shoot i see a big shadow but i can't see the fish this is awesome i think i need to put something different on my fly rod because i'm not being able to take advantage of these guys with what i got on there not excited about this this fly in here anymore they've proved it out they proofed it they said nah that ain't good what are you little fish here my gopro is overheating out the bed let's trim the water [Music] [Music] all right there we go wow that was a while so i lost that setup so i had to re-hook up oh it's another hard head i mean sorry uh pikeminnow this one's easier to to see than it's pike me now i'll show you pike minnows have a separation in their lip see how it's split that's how you that's a little one footer something like that that wasn't very graceful in a release it was very loud hopefully that attracted oh it did attract fish all right hopefully i can show you accurately on how effective the mop fly is as far as attracting it's a little bit big for these fish but i do catch the occasional one get it in here oh see you got a hit short strike short strike short strike okay now i'm just gonna i got this little guy kind of like euro nymphing a little little thing i don't actually know and that is a yeah little guy i think that was a hard head oh shoot i had a fish i didn't even realize it oh surprised i didn't catch that fish it it came from like seven feet away just darted for it grabbed it and somehow it pulled right out of its mouth it was on a mission all right we're gonna end our day here pretty quick so we're gonna throw this little stone fly now i believe that's what it is i do have the mop fly still on my ultra light could put it on to get everyone riled up [Music] oh i had a good strike right there yeah well that's why i didn't get hits on that last one right guarantee that no excuses for any other casts so tons of short strikes today tonight we're going to tie some mop flies on some some shorter mop flies maybe even a tiny a little bit smaller hook oh there we go a little something what do we got a little smallmouth yeah sorry bud
