We Brought a Subscriber to Alaska
We've always wondered what it would be like if we brought a subscriber with us on a trip. And what better place to do our inaugural subscriber trip than Alaska. In this film, we spend a week flying around in bush planes, chasing multiple species and hanging out with Grizzly bears. Strap in, grab some popcorn and enjoy this hour long film!

I can't put into words how elated I am getting to see my brother and lifetime fishing partner get to experience this. So ridiculously grateful for the whole team.
So sick dude love the fam support!
You’ve got one hell of a brother! Jesse is the man.
Absolutely amazing, I can honestly say you are a better sport then I am when the hook popped on a fish and the line coiled up on the one guide and he turned into instant ass ..that's strike one!
Fun fact: don't mess with Montey haha He's the GOAT@@1kshooterJL
@@1kshooterJLglad I wasn’t the only one that caught that! That guy doesn’t seem to enjoy his job much…
This may be THE single Best outdoor film I’ve ever seen. 11/10 this was incredible.
Wow! Your best yet. Hats off to Will for some spectacular cinematography! There were so many stunning shots, but one that comes to mind is the grizzly shaking off water. Or the gull flying through the frame. Or the drone shots of salmon .... so many beautiful images! And hats off to Scottie for the editing -- first class as always. And to Jesse for being the perfect -- and I mean perfect -- guy to take on this trip. And Alex for his smile and sunglasses, both of which are awesome.
Thank you so much! It was a team effort with this one. So happy it’s finally out in the world.
Fuego 🔥 Man Phelps is incredible behind the camera. Beautiful
Phelps on the fly Is a cool guy, the whole trip Is like a college reunión, cool bunch
Very respectful person. awesome that the community is very happy for him, many would be jealous what a great video.
Both my husband and I had smiles on our faces the whole time. Perfect music, beautiful shots, crazy amazing place. Nobody grows trout like AK!
Thanks so much!!
I would say you guys hit the jackpot with Jesse as a fishing companion almost as much as he hit the jackpot fishing with you fun-loving professionals at Wild Fly. That's what fishing will do! Great job on the video!!!
58:01 That Origin Camo jacket looks GOOD in Alaska fellas! Congrats on this awesome trip🇺🇸💪
There are KZhead fly fishing channels and then there is WFP. Your work is first rate from a story telling and production POV. This one is off the charts fun to watch! Thank you for this fine content. Means a lot for those evenings when I am looking at the calendar and plotting my next adventure on the waters of NorCal.
Wow! Thanks so much. Get those summer trips planned my dude!
My favorite outdoor film ever! After you get past the magestic sceney, huge fish and dare I say.. BEARS? You have a group of just really great people. The Wild Fly team knocked it out of the park! Beautiful work guys! Thanks ❤
Dream team! Phelps and Scottie always great together, add a splash of King Yukon (Ivan) 👑 magic… sheesh! Well done fellas!
Legend!
OH MY GOD THATS MY BOY!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU JESSE AND THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING VIDEO
If you are not subscribed, go do that. The level of quality and heart that this crew puts into their film is outstanding. The only thing I don't get is how the hell they aren't above 1 million subs. Come on people let's get them there
❤️
THATS MY GUYY JESSE WOOOOOOO!!!!
This will be our 18th consecutive year in a row coming to All Alaska Outdoors Lodge. Absolutely the best!!
I love the outro of this film. The attention to detail with cutting the images to the beat is a really unique and interesting way to end the story
How lucky Jesse was! He made this trip as a Wild Fly Dude. Sure we'll see more of him. I hope that at least I was close to being the one (really do enjoy my merch, will get more!!!)
We hope so too! Thanks for the support 🙌🏻
Pay No Mind at the end is an absolute banger. This video is one easily one of my new favorites and Jesse did amazing!!
My wife thinks it’s crazy that I made such a good friend from KZhead. When you share a passion, in this case backpacking, it’s kinda easy especially if you like the same kind of challenging adventures! Been buddies for 5 years and done a dozen + trips with many more planned for the future! Yew!
This absolutely moved me to tears! Another uneblievable film by this team and felt myself smiling ear to ear watching this, wishing to get to Alaska someday soon for an experience like this one!
This was SUCH A GOOD film. And Dr Bob reciting poetry is always the perfect touch. That guy is amazing. Well done! I'd go see this in a theater. It's that good.
Wow, thanks a ton! Cheers dude.
A shout out to Will Phelps for the awesome incredible photography! This is the type of trip I would love to take, great job guys!
WILL CRUSHED IT! So stoked to have him apart of the team on this one.
unreal cinematography from a fly fishing channel. The story, the color grading, the music. This is epic.
Thanks brother!
Thanks!
Thank you!!
One last thing. This film earned you your name. I love the sense of wilderness your films convey. Robert Service would subscribe if he were still with us. This was AWESOME! Someday I would love to have you on Blue Dot.
Have been looking forward to this for so long! So stoked to finally see it!
I booked a trip after the last video to All Alaska Outdoors, we went in July last year. To say it was epic would be a massive understatement. We will never forget the experiences. Dr Bob and his team are fabulous.
What a legendary film. Everything about this trip looked amazing and that Alaska scenery in the back drop...epic!
It was a dream trip! Thanks for the support brother.
I would die to see a wildfly special from New Zealand
Fly fishing for silvers in Alaska is one of the most fun experiences I have ever had on a fly rod.
So nuts!!
A true masterpiece 🙌🏻. Phenomenal stuff fellas. Looks unreal up there. I’m ready when you are 😆👏🏻🤙🏻
Unbelievable what an adventure, thanks for taking us along.
I have been an Alaska resident since I was 5 years old (20 years). I found fly fishing when I was 15 by a close friend of mine. Fly fishing to me has always brought me such peace and love for the outdoors. As I sit here watching this in Palmer Alaska I can't not be fulfilled with the joy and friend ships that fly fishing and the great state of Alaska has brought to people around the world.
hands down the most happiness ive seen in a video
Scotty; long time viewer even more so long time fan. Lets gooo buddy. Come up to Fernie, BC this summer and lets show everyone how its done!
After the first trip I didn't think any video could top that as far as fly fishing content goes. I was wrong. That was amazing!
You outdid yourself on this one Scotty! And the photography was a home run!!!You’ve really upped your game on this one! ❤
We had a great team to put this one together. Couldn’t have done it without them!
This might be the best video yet. So stoked for Jesse to have enjoyed this experience!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m not sure how I’m only watching this video now but it just made my Sunday morning and got me really excited to get out and explore my area of the world. Thanks for bringing this beauty of a video to the rest of us.
Better late than never! Thanks for tuning in. We've also got a new film dropping tonight at 5pm on our channel...
Amazing amazing amazing!!
Chefs kiss
The most criminally underrated channel on KZhead. Insane cinematography, insane vibes, and inspiring as hell!
Great work to everyone involved. ✌
Brilliant lovely I cant say more.
Damn it Scotty and crew! You nail it every time! Be proud of what you accomplish…and continue to follow the call of the wild.
This is absolutely beautiful.this is on my bucket list of things to do someday. Awesome video guys. Beautiful fish.thanks for sharing.
man, I've watched all your videos but I really think this might be the best. I would have definitely paid for this one. Thanks to Phelps who I know was taking all that epic footage.
As an Alaskan thats spoiled with the natural beauty of are state this video was epic I might have to check that lodge out time for yall to come back up and I’ll take you ice fishing 😆🤝🎣
Good times!!

Seems like he was a perfect fit and life long friend!! That was amazing and next time I am going to put in and hopefully get so lucky!!! Congratulations!!! Amazing!
I live up here and have fished a lot of those places, getting me excited for the spring!
Awesome trip lads! Cheers to the many sweet caught fish!!
You guys do great work on your films, but…. This is the best one yet!!! Keep up the great work!
You guys are the reason I started fly fishing. This beautiful video almost brought me to tears. Keep up the amazing work yall.

What An incredible Adventure! one day this will be a trip I do! As always great work guys!
My favorite video yet! i was able to be lucky enough to fish in Alaska 2 years ago and cant wait to go back. Thanks for sharing the amazing experience!
man, I was just wishing for more Wild Fly yesterday. Thanks guy, excellent work! Looks like fun!
You guys have the best production based fishing videos on KZhead bar none. I don’t know how you guys don’t have over a million subs. Awesome work 🤙🏻
Really incredible film! Thanks so much for sharing.
Always look for to new Wild Fly videos and especially love the ones shot in my home state. After 28 years, I am still in awe of the beauty of the state of Alaska. A treasure to never be taken for granted. Congratulations to Scotty and the entire crew on this one.
Been looking forward to this video!
How lucky this young guy is .wow must be dream fishing trip for him . Thanks I enjoy watching it 😅
Great job! Love watching the smiles you all had. Seeing all that for the first time is mind blowing. Thanks for sharing.
Guys… this is the best fly fishing content I have seen in a long time. Your genuine willingness to take a chance on a subscriber having the trip of a lifetime is inspiring. Everyone you encounter is first class and your editing eliminated content that can make a video this long feel long. Congrats.. you killed it. I am saving my money to get there for my 50th birthday. Sincerely, JP
Wonderful story - well done! thank you
Just moved to the SLC area from the Texas Gulf Coast and your vids get me so FIRED UP to chase these sweet water trout!!!! YEWWWWWWW
Great footage and editing of wildlife, country, mountains and water. You choice of tunes completes the run. Really enjoy your ‘full ticket’ films. Thanks
Was there this past June at All Alaska Outdoors because of your last video there. Thank you for leading my dad and I to the fly fishing trip of a lifetime.
Awesome!! So glad you guys had fun.
bro whats the price of a trip like this? i want to go someday!
I'm not sure why, but when I watch these videos it almost brings a tear to my eye. I've never seen a piece of film capture the free things in life so beautifully. I've fished once or twice in my life, but I can't stop watching these videos. Y'all inspired me to reconnect with my old friends and join them on their fishing trips this year. I wish y'all many many years of health and prosperity, you've given me a new lens to view life with.
This was such an amazing video! Such an unreal place with insane fishing. Great job with the filming and editing on this one!!
Man, what an amazing video. Every aspect was awesome to watch. You seemed to find a grateful person and now friend! much love from the streams of Pennsylvania!
You deserve more likes, more subs, more everything. Your content has inspired me for over 4 years, and watching you grow as an editor, film maker, and fisherman has been awesome. Congratulations to the young man who got to join you guys. What a trip of a lifetime. I’ll watch your videos forever man. They suck me in with addiction every time. Great work!
Dude your filmmaking is superb. I always find myself smiling in the middle and misty-eyed by the end. Thank you for the work you guys do and stoked to see what you do next.
Absolutely magical. Thank you Wild Fly
Just found the channel yesterday and I cannot tell you how much time I have binge watching every video to catch up. I need some friends like y’all.
I always enjoy watching your productions. Your passion for the project translates into the viewing experience. I always look forward to going on an adventure with you and the team.
stoked to see another Alaska trip. epic stuff as usual.
This has to be the best KZhead video I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched 10 years of KZhead😂
That means a lot! Tight lines brother 🤘🏻
Absolutely amazing. I live my fly fishing dreams through your video/movies. Keep up the amazing work. You guys rock!!!
Fantastic stuff as always Scottie!
This was an outstanding vid. I know I will never be able to do this with my son or grandson, but I feel I could feel the subscribers emotion of joy over this trip which made me feel maybe this would be the joy I would have. @ 71 I sit here in north Georgia learning how to fish these fish. But Alaska has been a dream for over 40 years. Thank you for sharing this wonderful trip with us. God bless.
This is gonna be awesome! Love the content!
I have to say this is my favorite Wild Fly video I have ever seen. The way the beauty of the area was captured was amazing and capturing Jessies thoughts, emotions and feelings throughout the video was perfect. I’m so happy he was the winner. His joy for what he was experiencing came through the camera and I was so happy for him. His enthusiasm, and gratitude and just good spirit was a part of why I really enjoyed the video. You guys are doing a fantastic job and only make me want to go out and fish more than I do.
I had the pleasure to go on a trip with Talon Air years ago and can't wait to do it again. Super cool guy and Alaska is awesome. Thanks for a great film. Well done.
Absolutely incredible! No words guys! Just truly incredible
Me and my old man watched this tonight and it got us fired up!! I think our next trip will be a fly out trip :)
Best film I´ve ever seen, what a dream to come true for Jesse🙏. Those are memories for life
Wow, what a great film! Nice work!
Nothing short of inspiring! Thank you for being the essence of "The Call Of The Wild".
Unbelievable…just wow. Thanks for the continued inspiration.
Just incredible...well done boys!
Awesome… Scotty and team have done it again!
Powerful. Start to finish, absolutely powerful. To see and hear the gratitude from all involved, about the place and the people, is refreshing. And powerful. 👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
Thank you once again for sharing the fly fishing experience. Cinematography was outstanding. I’m like the guy who won after watching the first one started saving. When I don’t know but is a must, what a beautiful place. Tight lines Wild Fly and keep the camera rolling
Incredible work on this one. I couldn’t help but grin throughout and anticipate my next adventure. Hats off to you for your generosity. The cinematography and song choice was on point. Thank you for inspiring me!!
