See https://www.coppersmithstudios.com/a_all.html for further explanation. Big Creek is a class 2 trout stream in West Central Wisconsin offering 6 miles of fishing for brook trout. It is formed by the convergence of 4 smaller brook trout streams and eventually flows into the Black River, which has good warmwater fishing. There are a lot of public easements along Big Creek but between the road and the stream is a lot of private property, so you need to find and the access points from the road. Like so many streams in west central Wisconsin, Big Creek is mostly sand with a good amount of woody debris. The stream is not too difficult to wade but commonly the sand becomes soft and you sink into it, so I would sometimes have to get out of the stream and walk along the shoreline to the next spot to fish.

In this video I went to a pet store to try and find out if I could find something for less than $20 that I could catch a trout on. This is a challenge video and if you'd like to see me go to other stores please let me know your suggestions in the comments below. A pet store is not where you’d expect to find something you could use to catch a fish. But in this video I’m going to see if a $20 bill can get me a cat toy… or dog toy… or whatever, that I can turn into a fish catching machine. And just wait, because what I’m able to make might be the secret that catches more fish than anything else. So after I got done at the pet store I went home to think about how I was going to use the weird fish tank decoration as a fly or lure. what I came up with was just grab some cheap jig heads and thread pieces of the decoration onto the hook. The effect was the same as a squirmy worm, just with a lot less effort, meaning literally anyone at home watching this video could go do this right now. Literally all I did was get some 1/32 ounce jig heads, pinch off a piece of the fish tank decoration, and slide the hook into the think end. Once you Get a little ways down, you slide the hook back out and you have a perfectly good squirmy worm jig… or, lets be honest, lure. Then I headed to the water to test them out, and they honestly looked impressively good. NOW I just had to figure out which creeks wasn’t going to have too much ice on it and was going to allow me to catch some fish. After a while I just decided to pull over and try this tiny little roadside ditch of a stream to see what I could come up with because at least it was ice free. Winter trout fishing isn't easy. You may be wondering what I actually thought of the pet store lure I came up with? Well I’ll give you the quickest answer possible. It worked but it was a challenge. I think if you like using trout magnets and other lures like that with your spinning rod that I’d argue this is just as good if not better. The best part of the pet store tank decoration was that it was much more durable than most soft plastics on the market today. So I could’ve spent less than $10 and had that decoration last me more than a year. But it probably has a little less action than the typical soft plastics you use for fishing, and I’d recommend gettin your jig heads from somewhere other than Walmart because those things were trash. Also if you’re someone who likes quirky worms this material might be worth seriously trying. If you enjoyed the video let me know!!

Fly fishing on the Dean River, British Columbia is more than chasing steelhead, it’s about tradition, time, and the people who shape a place. In this film, Todd Moen narrates for the first time, returning to the legendary Dean River and Kimsquit Bay Lodge to reunite with longtime friends Jeff and Kathryn Hickman and their son Oly, skating dry flies for steelhead with classic R.L. Winston bamboo fly rods while reflecting on nearly 20 years of filming for Catch Magazine in one of the most iconic steelhead regions on earth. British Columbia has been one of those places for Todd, a constant thread throughout his career. He reflects on time spent with many special anglers and lodge owners over the past two decades, witnessing how relationships grow, how families evolve, and how these rivers continue to connect generations. This film revisits those connections, meeting back up with the Hickmans after years of shared seasons, shared stories, and pushing the limits of what authentic fly fishing films can be. Set in the Great Bear Rainforest, it’s a reminder that rivers don’t just move water forward; they carry legacies.

Under the Palmetto Moon follows Austin “ACE” Young and me as we travel, fish, and camp our way down the entire South Carolina coast—living out of a skiff and chasing whatever water looks right. Along the way, we meet up with friends who show us their home waters, share local insight, and help us understand what makes each stretch of the South Carolina coast so unique. From remote marsh to busy inlets, this film is about exploration, community, and the simple freedom of running a skiff with everything you need packed onboard. If you love stories about the coast, redfish, and the people who live for it, you’re in the right place. #redfish #southcarolina #flyfishing #skiffwanderer FOLLOW THE SKIFF: Merch Store - https://www.theskiffwanderer.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theskiffwanderer Website - http://www.theskiffwanderer.com Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSkiffWanderer?sub_confirmation=1 Music - Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/iuqpes/
