We brought a fly rod along on our family vacation to Glacier National Park and had several opportunities to do some fishing in multiple regions of the park. Not only did we get to experience some of the beautiful scenery of the Rocky Mountains but also caught several fish, including some native west-slope cutthroats! This was a trip I will never forget. Hope you enjoy the video!

Poor presentation...and a shallow mind keeps the 6""rs coming in!!!!
Thank God for people like you!
The water clarity is astounding and totally beautiful. And thanks for the gentle handling and quick, safe releases.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
My God, what a beautiful place! You are blessed to have such a place! And still with lots of fish! It really is a paradise! Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks for tuning in and thanks for watching!
The best part about this video is I recognize most of the places you’re fly fishing. I live about 20 minutes away and learned to fly fish in the park. I’m glad you enjoyed.
It is a really special place! You are blessed to live so close to such a wonderful place. Thanks for watching!
This proves that trout don't live in ugly places .... beautiful scenery. Take care.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
That place looks like heaven on earth..
Truly a gorgeous place! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting. I visited the park in '94 but couldn't fish it and always regretted that. Good to see you doing it!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I love the line at 9:55... "That was Awesome!... ...JUST ONE MORE CAST!!"
Haha the fisherman's famous line lol thanks for watching!
The color of those rivers is amazing!
It is a gorgeous place for sure! Thanks for watching!

Beautiful video Doug, breathtaking backdrop.
Thanks Mike! I'd go back every year if I could! Beautiful out there.
Very well put-together video by two very nice young men. Thank you for sharing!
Good job men!!! Glacier is so beautiful. I did not catch anything in Avalanche Lake either but it was one of the coolest experiences of the 2016 trip. I believe the water temp in the upper end was 42 in July!! Your wildlife footage is awesome!! Keepem coming!!
Glacier was an unbelievable place! I think everyone in the family was in awe! I have to give credit to my sister for getting the footage of the bear and cubs. Her lens was a bit better for the job and she got some great video of them! Thanks for the support, as always, Craig!
WildBlue Discovery I agree
This was a great video to watch very beautifully done. I'm 60 and new to fly fishing so I used your video is a tutorial I'm looking forward to seeing more
That glacier water is amazing.... I need to get out there someday
I would definitely recommend it if you get the chance! Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
truly wonderful video thank you for sharing you hav rejuvenated my spirit today, creeks and rivers in Glacier can't wait to get back
Thank you for your kind words! Glad that you enjoyed the video!
Great job. 👍
That was a great video! Thanks for sharing your Glacier trip. I enjoyed every minute of it!!
Thanks for the kind words! Really glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Man, me too!!!!!
Very nice video, good graphics, very well organised, I guess this place is now on my bucket list.
I highly recommend it! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
Thank you, for an absolutely wonderful video!
Thank you for watching! Glad that you enjoyed!
Great video! Very beautiful place! I live in Russia, and your videos help me learn English. Thanks! In my country fly fishing is rarely occurs so it very interesting for me. (Sorry if i wrote somthing wrong)
Glad we can be of some assistance! Thank you for watching!
Vodka?
Nature doesn't get much better, incredible! Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
yes it does, much better without the drones and yelling.
What an incredible adventure! Thanks for sharing it with us. Merry Christmas!
Thank you for watching! Merry Christmas!!!
Always been on my list, what a treasure of creation. Very good filming.
Thank you! It was a blessing to be able to visit such a wonderful creation with family and loved ones. Thanks for watching!
Oh I wanna go fly fishing here one day! Beautiful!
Great time and video, I'll have to watch again.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching!
Incredibly gorgeous scenery out there! Thank you for sharing it with us. While I sit here in my nice warm house with the below zero temps outside, it's videos like yours that get me excited about Springtime here in Upstate New York.
Thank you! Really appreciate your comment. KZhead helps us get through the winter too. As does tying flies!
@@BackyardBassin I'll be tying a few Green Weenies up over the winter if the temps in my basement shop get above 50. LOL! I think they would do great up here, as we tend to get a lot of inchworms in the warmer months.
A green weenie is one of my favorite flies to fish in late summer. I even like fishing them in the spring to represent a caddis larvae. It's going to get a bit warmer here in PA in the coming week so maybe you'll get your opportunity
Great video!! We were just at Waterton Lakes National Park just across the boarder from glacier. Once the boarder opens up there I'll have to go back for some fly fishing there!!
Finally nice to see a video not about the typical american way to fish. With the most funky bass lures catching the biggest bass that has been caught atleast 100 times. A chill flyfishing video. Faith in america restored :D
And with actual respect for the animal ^^
Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching! This is the way of fishing in the American West!
Such Beautiful country!! Another Fantastic video guys!
Thank you Mark! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Amazing production.. Thanks for sharing it with us Doug.. Keep up the Great Work...
Appreciate it Frankie! Thanks for the support, as always!
Awesome video. I can’t wait to do some fly fishing this year! Love it
Excellent video enjoyed every minute of it
Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed!
Fantastic video especially with the drones, soo cool and the country is soo beautiful. The trout are beautiful too.
drones ruin the nature experience for other visitors, stay in the city.
Nicely done! I remember going through the park as a kid, wanted to fish but the family didn’t stop...😕 Great panoramas, nice perspectives in many of your scenes. Motivates me to visit the Park again! Thanks!
Even though we didn't have a ton of time, it was still nice to be able to wet a line! Just so awesome to fish in scenery like that! Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment!
So beautiful, this is on my bucket list!
I highly recommend it! Thanks for watching!
Breathtaking scenery. Great picture
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful video!!!
I've driven through Glacier twice, done the hike to the overlook at the visitors center at the top of the sun road once, never had time to fish. Truly jealous! Such an incredibly beautiful, wild and captivating place.
We were there for 5 days and I still wish we had more time! So much to do and see there. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
@@BackyardBassin definitely a bucket list trip! Especially with family and friends.
Awesome video guys! The scenery looks just amazing... Greetings from germany!
Thank you for watching! Danke!
I really enjoyed your video. My wife and I went to Glacier 5 years ago after I retired. I could not find out any info on fishing in Glacier anywhere but I always pack a fly rod everywhere I go. We hiked just about every trail there. The scenery is second to none anywhere in the world. My fishing experience was similar to yours but I was lucky enough to catch many beautiful small cutthroats almost anywhere I tried. Definitely a hiking and scenery place to put on your bucket list. Take a fly rod to fish while your wife/partner/family takes a break. Don’t forget your bear spray!!!!
Spot on! Phenomenal scenery is what glacier is all about. Enjoying the views is the priority in the park and fishing is just something to add on to the experience!
That waterfall at 13:00 is awesome. I caught a really nice lake trout in that same pool in 2017.
We know of someone else that caught a lake trout there too. I would have loved to have hooked into one! I wonder if we weren't low enough. Maybe more weight would have done the trick.
Amazing video! Now I want to go!!!
Nice video fellas, that bow was gorgeous!
It was a very fun fight! It was quite the jumper! Thanks for watching!
Great video and good spot....👍👍👍
I was there for a couple days 2 years ago from Edmonton Alberta Canada, Loved fishing those little streams. Tiny tiny trout is all I found but loved every min of it.
Even tiny trout are still fun to catch in my opinion. Sounds like you had an awesome day! Thanks for watching!
Great video! We were there in the second week of August this year. Wild fires had closed the west entrance, so we were stuck with long drives to the two eastern entrances, but it is beautiful even amongst the smoke..Caught a bunch of cutties floating the Flathead River from Columbia Falls to Kalispell too, great fish!
We were there during the first week of August and the day after we left they closed areas of the park. We lucked out! I would love to float that section someday! I bet it was gorgeous! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the wonderful video. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks for tuning in all the way from the Netherlands! Glad that you enjoyed!
Gorgeous water and fauna, great upload.
Thank you! We were really lucky to have seen so much wildlife in the park. The flora was beautiful too since our trip coincided with peak wildflower season!
Excellent vídeo.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Great video, good fish handling, well done guys!!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Outstanding guys, you have something really to enjoy watching in these cold winter months. Tight lines...
Thank you Len! Glad you enjoyed the video! Tight lines!
Great video lads,...please do more!!
You can count on more videos like this one! Thank you for watching!
Man what a beautiful place, i live in Alaska, I’d take glacier park over it anytime. Great video.👍🏻
We loved our visit there for sure! I'd definitely like to make the trip to Alaska someday though! Thanks for watching!
Noticed that you both were catching very little brook trout toward the end of your video. And yes, it’s always great it you can get outside with nature.
i just loveee the smell of trout on my hands
Great video and scenery, reminds me of Jasper and Banff National Parks. We will be stopping in Glacier as I am going to Montana for vacation next July. I am watching your videos( subcribed) to finalize the fishing spots we will try while we will be there, staying near Anaconda. I am also from the East, a little north in Canada. Thanks for the vids.
Really glad you you're able to find the videos helpful! You'll really enjoy it! We really want to make it to Banff and Jasper some time. It looks beautiful there! Thanks for watching!
This was beautifully shot and edited. Look forward to more vids. First time watcher and sub from Charleston SC!
Really glad that you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the sub! There will be plenty more videos to come in the future. Thank you for watching!
Cool me to i live in west ashley
Great vids fellas. I've been through GNP twice but didn't fish. Thanks for sharing, have a great Christmas. Sub'd.
Thank you for the sub! Glad you enjoyed the video. Merry Christmas!
First video I've watched from your channel and it looks amazing! Reminds me when I fished the bow river near lake louis in Alberta.
Thanks for the kind words! Sounds like the now river would be a beautiful place! Check out some of our other videos if you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching!
The place truly magical. Nice healthy native trout n da ones u mentioned tiny rainbows its called brook trout..doesn't get much big.
Definitely not a brook trout but beautiful none the less! Thanks for watching!
I have been to Glacier to some of the spots you went but have never been fishing there yet! I need to get out that way! Glacier is my favorite place on earth
I think I can speak for my whole family when I say that it was the most beautiful place we've ever been! Loved it there! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!
We were there in mid July. Truly God’s country. The only place better is Jasper National Park in Alberta.
Mine too.
#onemorecast haha awesome video!
Thank you and really glad you enjoyed it!
"Thank you I appreciate it." "You too!" *contemplates all life decisions*
make sure you guys hit the N. Fork of the Flathead on your next trip. Rent a raft and float that sucker, gorgeous, and tons of fish (not a lot of size but there are some good ones)
It's on our list! I would love to someday. Thanks for the comment!
unreal video. Ive fished the north fork of the flat head and caught a tun of the little cutbows!
I'd love to fish the north fork of the flathead! Looks like some breathtaking scenery! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Sounds like PA native. Great footage. Enjoyed watching
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Backyard Angling i just started going through more of your uploads and saw you In fact are from Pa so I was spot on picking up that accent! I really enjoy your content and look forward to more
Haha yes, that was a great guess! I've been told my accent is across between Pennsylvania Dutch and Pittsburghese lol
Tandy is so majestic
Thinking about going to school up at Montana State, already giving me something to look forward to!
It would be an awesome place to go to school! The fishing possibilities would be endless!
Super nice video
Hey guys, just wanted to tell you that this is one of my favorite fly fishing videos I’ve ever seen! I’m from Oklahoma but my heart is in N.W. Montana. Been there and loved it! I’m just now trying to learn fly fishing but would love to try it in Glacier National Park. Thank you and keep up the good work! Justin Simmons
Thank you for the kind words Justin! It's comments like yours that really motivate us to create fly fishing content! Best of luck to you in your fly fishing pursuits! Tight lines!
All the western mountain states are awesome and beautiful. I recently moved to DFW and it sucks! All these hot, humid,flat mud water states suck ass! Even the bass fishing sucks ass here and texas is supposed to be the paramount of bass fishing. I miss chasing trout in clean cold mountain streams. But now I'm stuck here with citified,muddy lakes getting sunburned just to end up catching nothing but gars and fucking turtles once I got more money I'm getting the fuck out of here
Sweet vid. Us PA boys need to get together and fish
Thanks George! We should definitely try to get together and fish sometime!
Bellissimo video e luoghi meravigliosi !!!! Fantastici!!! Purtroppo in Italia non abbiamo parchi e fiumi così belli. Chissà se un giorno avrò la fortuna di fare un viaggio nei vostri luoghi. Grazie e buona fortuna! Ciao
Great video. I go to Victor, Idaho in September and we fish Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and Montana, time is limited so we pack it in. I think the beauty out weighs the fishing, sort of, not really.
Haha I have to agree with you there lol. Sounds like a great trip! Appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful water man, wish I were there casting flies with y’all.
I wish I was back there, as well! It was an absolutely amazing trip! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Another good vid! Subbed!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice quality film man, can appreciate a good short fishin film!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
저도 이런 멋진곳에 가보고 싶어요~
Beautifully filmed, and very well done overall. What a wonderful experience. The fish at the 18min. mark were gorgeous! I am for eating the rainbow anywhere in cut territory. Only one thought if you don't mind: Too much false casting will really cut down on your takes.
Amazing video!! That was a rainbow. Any trout with cutt at that size will always have a slash mark. I've caught smaller cutts than that and it had the slash.
That makes sense. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching!
Thought I detected a PA accent! Enjoyed the video. A trip up the Rockies with an emphasis on trout prospecting is in our not-too-distant future.
Yes, sir! Some of our Pennsylvania Dutch showing through! Good luck on your future trip and thanks for watching!
Rocking the livelylegz hat
You bet! The lively legz golden stone was one of our best flies out there for producing fish. Great company!
@@BackyardBassin I have used a few here in CO to good effect. If you liked Glacier you should come and check out Rocky Mountain national
Beautiful video, gotta love Glacier! Awesome area, I fished up there about 15 years ago and around the town of Eureka, awesome blue green water, so cold, but would you believe the locals were swimming in water around 55 degrees, NUTS!! Brought back fond memories. Thanks!
They were braver than I am, that's for sure! I couldn't imagine swimming in that! It truly is an awesome place! We made a lot of very great memories. Thanks as always for the support!
When I went up there about 6 years ago I went swimming in one of the northern lakes
nice video-I live near the park and if you head into the backcountry there are lakes and streams with BIG fish....best to overnight it and possibly catch 4 to 5 lb. (and larger ) RB and WSCT....there are books also describing the better fishing if you have time to get out of the "touristy" zones...always beautiful in the park-one of the main reasons we all live up here-I know you had the family along but serious anglers out there should have a night or two to get to serious fishing, incredible scenery, and the record cutthroat (13 lbs.) was caught in the park
It would have been great to have had time to hit up some of those areas! We love backpacking and it would have been great to have made a trip back into the backcountry! We will add that to the bucket list for sure! Thanks for watching!
What lakes in particular?
Red Eagle has the MT record for cutthroat-very old record. It hasn't been as good since fires but still big fish. I caught several over 5 lbs. years ago. Gunsight has big fish, fished Medicine Grizzly last year and caught nice fish. Even Hidden Lake up at Logan Pass can be amazing. One could spend the whole summer in the park backcountry going to small lakes and catching big fish. East of the divide at lower elevations better for flyfishing as they are more open country .I have never taken a pole up to Avalanche-I'm glad you did! Also if you are coming from the East their are very productive lakes on the Blackfoot Res-I just started last summer but will be getting my Res license every year now.@@PROCOTRDOCTOR123
Passionate Forager thanks for this info.
I live right there on the reservation come back up take you guys to the lakes hook onto some 8-10 pound Rainbows!!
Someone in Missoula showed us a few pictures of some fish he caught on lake hook. Looks like an awesome place to fish! I would love to fish it some time! Unfortunately we were on a tight schedule while we were out there. Maybe next time though! Thanks for watching!
Very cool! Thanks. Glacier's wonderful. Wish you would have named the waters you guys fished.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwsome beauty.
When Plan B is actually Plan A...hah great video.
I fished running eagles last summer and landed two nice lakers and a nice rainbow. Saw some tanks laying on bottom.
I've never caught a lake trout before. That would have been a neat catch! How big do those lake trout get in there?
Just stumbled across your channel and really enjoy the videos! I fly fish for bass and bream in Texas. Could you do a video explaining your thought process in fly selection when you arrive at new waters?
We will add that to our list! As a general suggestion, i try to tie patterns that are suggestive, meaning they represent alot of different bugs well. When i get to a new stream i flip rocks and decide what type of aquatic life there is, then start with a suggestive pattern. I will say, however, that presentation trumps pattern selection. Presenting your flies in the right water column, at the appropriate drift speed, etc. is most important! Hope this helps
To add to this, we were guests on the Bugs and Beards podcast where we had a discussion on self guiding and touched on this briefly. Might be of some interest to you
Love the video! Glacier is on my list! Also, Amazon has a small, folding net...folds up smaller than a nalgene and weighs nothing. Less than $10!! I love mine and it never leaves the small outside pocket of my backpack now. (Just got it this year) and...as you guys know a net solves tons of issues. This video will be help in planning my trip there- Thanks again!
Glad that our video will help you plan your trip! I'm sure you'll love it there! That sounds like an awesome net! We'll have to try and find it on Amazon. Thank you for the tip!
What time of the year was the footage and what camera were you videoing on? Thanks for sharing, amazing scenery.
We took this during the last week of July. Seems like a great time to be out there judging by everything we saw. We filed everything on a sony A6000. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
The most beautiful NP in the lower 48, but I am prejudiced. Lived just North of YNP. Itty bitty fish in that narrow stream. Water so clear because no nutrients to color water or to sustain big fish. You should look at backpacking into high mountain lakes in Beartooths, etc.
Good video. Can I give you one tip? When you put your rod in the sock put the larger end in first. Then when you put it in the tube you have less chance of breakage.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
Endroit magnifique et super vidéo
Wonderful video! Do you mind sharing the soundtrack? Very soothing.
