In case you want to hear more about the trip and how we planned everything, we released a full podcast episode recapping the trip. Check it out on our podcast channel kzhead.info/sun/pc9uhpeSooCNaaM/bejne.html
AWESOME- Like you guys, I have a trip to a rarely traveled location with lots of data and little detail outside of gov reports for bulls in 2 weeks! Any detail on planning and what worked best is highly appreciated!
I live 2 hrs away from That river one of the best for bullies! Fish it quite often!
Off topic but one word you guys should follow. taimen
Great channel!!!! Hi from NC🙋🏻♀️♥️ My son was an avid fisherman and was in the BassMasters Pro Tournament years back. He’s been gone for 7 yrs now and watching you guys fish reminds me of him 😞 God bless you all! 🙏🏻❤️
This is everything. The reason bull trout, and all native and wild fish are so thrilling to chase after doesn’t really have anything to do with the things you think it will (big fish, aggressive fish, plentiful fish etc etc) it’s thrilling because they are wild and free, and in your own pursuit of them you have no choice but to become wild and free yourself. Hope you get to do a lot of more of this kind of thing in your lives. It’s what being alive is all about.
You guys nailed it. Thanks for everything you do to help educate people on our native fish! Can't wait to link up again soon.
videos like this are harmful to the few remaining wild places no cap. you are egotistical fish pimps, and your actions do not align with the your claimed values.
@@bike4fish241 I think the truth is that ALL anglers (and I'm assuming that your screen name indicates that you're an angler) are harmful to fisheries, period. The impact of recreational fishing, catch and release or otherwise, can't be over stated. If you think that your personal exploitation of wild resources excludes you from that conversation simply because you don't have a youtube channel then you're deluding yourself. For better or worse (and we're all trying to figure out the answer to that question) anglers have become a leading voice in the conservation of cold water species, particularly salmonids. Videos that excite and educate people, anglers or otherwise, on the value of native species and wild ecosystems are essential to the survival of these species. Cuz guess what, theres a lot of serious issues affecting the long term survival of these creatures, and "fish pimps" are a relatively small piece of that puzzle. Climate and habitat issues will come for our wild places at a slow and relentless pace, whether they're kept "secret" or not, so when that day comes you better hope there's a bunch of dudes with fly rods holding the line. Someones gotta do it. All that said, you're right to raise concerns. These are conversations we all need to be having, especially when it comes to threatened species. Will consumptive users of our natural resources be the ones to ultimately save them? Or will we just be standing there, torturing the last wild fish at the end of a line as the world burns around us? The future isn't set in stone, but it's certainly something thats on my mind daily.
@@TightLoops i appreciate your well worded reply. as for you assumitions about me, i have a LONG history in actual habitat restoration for wild fisheries, working with non profits and the US government. I was an avid fly fisherman for many years, and I have quitely fished most of the fisheries in the northwest USA. but, eventually I came to the realization that I was concerned enough with the CURRENT health of our wild fisheries that I have personally given up my PASSION of catching wild fish in wild places. As a former north Idaho resident, who has been active in local TU as well as with IDFAG, i can say without a doubt the rules "protecting" bull trout in idaho are a complete joke, as is there managment of wild steelhead. its 100 percent ok to go to the headwaters of nearly ANY river in the region in september, find schools of bull trout stuck in low water, and throw barbed and baited trebble hooks at them ALL DAY LONG, taking every fish out of the water for pictures. 100 percent legal.... ponder that. Carp fishing is pretty dope though. Muskies and pike too. they should make some videos that highlight ethical fisheries. As far as my name, i organized a annual cycling event along a local river to raise funds to go directly towards habitat restoration efforts on that river. PS that fish is in spawning colors, and is still SLIGHTLY prespawn but probably alrdy in the pool it plans to spawn in. spawn is early sep-early novemeber, with an outmigration when the early winter rains raise the water level.
@@TightLoops also, it looks like the deleted my first comment. very telling???
Im still convinced that this is the best current fly fishing channel out there, the filming and effort that goes into portraying a story is next level. These are amazing places and amazing films I one day hope to replicate.
100 percent agree
Drewlocknfishy, he does good stuf
I might recommend Jon B's long-form stuff too. His Australia, Devil's River, Louisiana, Amazon, and Sudan documentaries/series are fantastic--even if you don't like all the Googan content
Jensenflyfishing is great.
From an old guy - You guys are the most honest, refreshing fly fishing going. Hats off to you.
We appreciate you Tim! Thanks for the kind words. Tight Lines!
What I love about your videos is that like you don’t edit out the skunked days. Like it makes me feel so much better on the days that I don’t catch fish, or have to change plans. Also, love the science and history behind this, because really that’s a lot of what fly fishing is about, science and knowledge that gets you on the fish and makes you appreciate them even more. Love this channel!
Exactly! You nailed it. Learning about these wild places and the history of these native fish makes the entire experience so much more fulfilling.
This video is 🔥 Absolutely love all the history lessons and the fishing was fun to watch!!👏
I am overwhelmed with emotion watching this. I haven’t felt this emotional about fishing in a while. Always awesome stuff!
What you guys could have done with a bunch of spinners and a carton of night-crawlers......You need to have a cook along.....I volunteer. My dad taught me to trout fish on the Madison. We would go every year late August.....Our last trip was in 2015....with my two boys....and I noticed dad was exhibiting signs of memory issues. Today, I said goodbye to him, he is in hospice and most likely won't last the night.....I know he is on his way to fish waist deep at the back end of long mossbanks for big fall run browns....thanks Dad for instilling in me a love of the natural world, how to fish and hunt, and respect nature. I will miss you.
Watching this at my break at work, such a getaway. Thank you so much!!!
Awesome guys...GREAT TUNES TOO !!!
Such an awsome video. Thank you for sharing your journey
SO Good... great production, storytelling, cinematography. Well done guys!
Really nice production and epic journey. Thanks for bringing us along.
This is better than anything on Netflix. Takes me back to the thrill of chuckin chubbies up those same waters, back when I was lucky enough to have the chance. Stay wet, stay wild.
Amazing video as always guys. Good job showing off the conservation qualities that are so critical for our future as anglers.
It's the hours you put in, and the fish you don't catch, that fuel the passion and keep you coming back. Great video.
Amen!
Love these remote trips. The native fish, tough country, and grind make it incredible to watch!
I so appreciate that you show the tangles and challenges that even the best fishermen have to deal with on an occasion. That is part of this deal. Keep on keepin it real.
Epic! Totally felt the excitement when Brian hooked into that Bully!
Another amazing video thank you for sharing this experience that’s what Fly fishing is all about. To be present!! Keep it going Wild Fly
Beautiful fish, scenery and memories. Amazing visuals, editing and footage. Well done boys.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing!
Best Fly Fishing channel on KZhead and it’s not even close
looked like an amazing time with brothers. great video
At 70 years old and not able to wade the rivers and climb the banks anymore. All fly fishing gear as of last year handed down to the kids. But, I have fished almost every corner and center in Idaho. Traveled the world and have to say , Idaho might just be the greatest gem of them all. But you have to get there first , which makes it even better. Great job guys and love your fishing adventures.
This is world class story telling and video production. Every time I think it can’t get any better you guys exceed all expectations. Great job Scotty!!!! 👍🏼
What a journey fellas. Such great production work. Loved every minute of it.
What a fantastic story and video!! Way to go brpatt for the great catch! I think the passion you all carried made this story happened. Awesome!
Excellent video! Put me in a great mood watching this. Great edit! Great music! Great fishing! Thank you 🙏
Your videos are awesome, its like your there, you can smell the food cooking, feel the tension, the weather etc. Awesome work.
Great work. The passion hits.
FINALLY, I have been waiting for a wildfly video for so long. Never disappoints, as always! It really bothers me how underrated your channel is. These are by far the best quality fly fishing videos on youtube!

I’ve watched a few of your films and they’ve all been entertaining and beautiful to watch. I just subscribed now, hopefully will enable you to do more. Good luck!

That is a special place that offers so much more than just the bull trout, like you perfectly showed. Kudos guys. This hits deep. I love how you actually show the highs and lows of the trip, what a story!
Another dose of quality stuff guys! Your mix of the fun of being outdoors, the challenges, difficulties, planning, setbacks, weather, cooking, friendship, the fun of fishing ... and informing and educating. It's not just good fun to watch but it's important information you're putting out. Good up the great, great work and "keep gettin' after it!".

I've been binging the podcast the last couple days while backpacking some bluelines and was really looking forward to this one. Y'all didn't disappoint. Nice work!
Shooting rapids, hung up on rocks, deep fast-flowing water, incredible footage. Have been fly fishing for bull trout for 40 yrs. and hope for many more... wearing my life jacket
Good work exposing another river system

I watched this last night on my 65"TV and got to say this is by far one of your best videos of fly fishing I have ever seen. The slow motion takes on those cutty's was spectacular and the scenery as well. IF you guys ever come to PA would love to guide you on some of our waters. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video guys, keep killing it! Really liked the style of this one with the group commentary in the background. Cheers!
