Fly fishing for wild trout on backcountry streams is becoming more popular as bigger trout streams get crowded. Fly fishing brook trout in smaller streams is an excellent fly fishing outing for a beginners trip and is fun for seasoned anglers as well. Wild brook trout fly fishing in the beginning of fall brought good opportunity for fish, as well as an enjoyable morning. Join me on my last wade trip of the trout season. Stream conditions are good and the brookies were hitting well.

This fly fishing trip took place on a wild trout stream that is easy to wade and required minimal equipment, basically a single box of attractor dry flies plus leaders and tippet, a old pair of hip boots, a wading staff, and that was about it. This fly fishing video features plenty of trout action as well as some great fishing on a morning trip. Fly fishing for beginners is a learning curve and part of the fun, and one thing that I would recommend for this type of fishing is learning how to use stealth in approaching a pool when the water is low. I use short, precision casts and get a drag free drift to fish dries in the pocket water on streams like this.

This fly fishing video documents a fun late September trip to fly fish for smallmouths on a warm summer day. The gear I use is a J.P. Ross 6.5 foot 3-weight with a double taper floating line and a light leader that tapers to 6X.

I am an an outdoor writer and my fly fishing articles articles have appeared in national publications including American Angler Fly Tyer, and Outdoor Life. I also was the outdoor columnist for two Upstate, New York newspapers (Albany Times Union and Amsterdam Recorder) for many years. My photos illustrated many of these these articles.

I am a lifelong fly fisherman, starting with my first fly rod at age 7. I have fished for saltwater species in Georgia and Florida, and have fished as far north as Alaska. Most of my fishing has take place throughout the Northeast. I have tied flies for the same amount of time and created patterns for trout and warmwater species.

I am the author of three fly fishing books including, “The New York Fly-Fishing Guide (Amato Publications), “Warmwater Fly Fishing- Finding and Catching Warmwater Species), and his new book, “The Greats of Adirondack Fly Fishing.” My new book explores the lives of six anglers who shaped fly fishing in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, including the fly patterns that they developed. The book brings forth tales that need to be told about the way that fly fishing was in the Adirondacks as we strive to return angling to its former glory there.

I filmed and produced two fly fishing DVDs including “Tying. And Fishing for Smallmouth Bass,” and “Tying and Fishing for Panfish.”
