It is such a special place! I’m glad you were able to have days enjoying the wild berries and fishing some amazing fish! I feel very blessed every time I find myself up there.

Awesome! Thanks Ben, glad you enjoyed it and found it useful 👊

Great insight, and what an effective and fun way to fish multiple methods!

Thanks Tom, I’m very excited for you and your son as well. River time is the best quality time around 👊

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Sure thing, I keep it simple. Use a 4x 12-14’ tapered leader from SA, tie on a 2mm tippet ring, then add as much 5x or 6x tippet as I can comfortably cast based on wind and need for accuracy. Usually that’s 4-6’ of tippet, but sometimes up to 8’ if there’s no wind. Devin and Lance have a specific formula for building custom dry fly leaders that are even more effective. You can find the recipes in Devin’s book Tactical Fly Fishing. 👍

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

Sony’s mostly. Our current setup is the Sony FX6

@@roddines8329 thank you, sure was. Great time to be outside chasing steelhead!

Dai-Riki 135 Curved scud hook. I promise it is... and it's deadly.

Haha, it was a head scratcher for sure 😉 One of the thickest damsel hatches I’ve ever seen!

Nope, not related. But I know Phil and he is an excellent person and fisherman!

Thank you, it’s fun to find them in water that’s surprising! It’s a great technique for getting down quickly. Thanks for checking it out!

All you had to say is that you prefer bobber fishing 😉 I stopped giving thought-out responses to people only looking to stir the pot. Honestly, if chucking bobbers is your thing, that’s cool…

@@GilbertRowley Not stirring a pot at all. My opinion is if your going to "Fly Fish" you should be using fly line and casting that fly line. Euro to me is spin fishing. But like everything else, to each there own. I do enjoy your vids though.

@@dankochanek8056I appreciate it Dan! And honestly fly fishing can be defined in many ways. For example, big articulated streamers are very heavy when wet and undoubtedly pull the leader and line forward when casting much like a spinner or metal lure. So does an indicator rig with split shot, pulls the leader and line forward to some degree as well… so by your definition neither can be classified fully as fly fishing either… maybe a hybrid, but not true fly fishing. Furthermore, I can cast an unweighted dry fly on my Euro leader, but that fact is never taken into consideration. And one more illustration. When fishing single dry flies I use an industry standard 14’ presentation tapered leader that anyone can buy at any fly shop. I then add 6-8 feet of tippet to my leader. Total length 20-22’ most days. Well, the other day I was working upstream when a 20” brown appeared tight to the bank 18’ in front of me. I starred at him and thought “I’d cast to that fish… but I wouldn’t have any fly line out my rod tip, so according to Dan and others it wouldn’t actually be fly fishing since no line would be used while making the cast, only leader…” So I decided not to try to catch that fish for the sake of fly fishing definitions. Of course that logic would just be silly. So define it as you would like, and I’ll do the same. In my opinion, if catching fish enhances your experience on the water, Euro Nymphing is a great fly fishing technique (yep I said it), and will help inspire you to want to get outside more often. Thanks Dan for sharing your opinion. Have a great day!

@@GilbertRowley Explained well. That's all I needed sir!! Off to the river!!

@@dankochanek8056 best of luck out there! Great chatting with you!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and we’ll look into it on future projects 👍

Thank you! Yes, Euro Nymphing, super effective and fun!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed 👊

Thanks, that would make for a fun video for sure. When Nymphing for steelhead that’s the technique I use. 👍

Haha, awesome, thanks 👊

That’s awesome! Glad you were able to find success with them! Sounds like they helped make for a fantastic day on the water 👊

Thank you, we were very blessed for sure!

Thanks so much, we had a great time with this one!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! The next one is way better, no kidding 😁

Very kind, thanks so much!

It really was such a blast!

This is shot in 120fps with a 100-400mm lens 👍

@@GilbertRowley Damn. That's legit.

Thanks Ryan, the “Fly Fisherman’s Wife” film we have coming out is way better… possibly one of the best stories we’ve ever told. Looking forward to sharing it!

Thanks! It’s a party down there!

Out now, hope you enjoy!

Thanks, it was really fun to look back on. If only I had kept it going 🤔 I guess that’s a part of what these RU-vid videos is for, a great way to preserve and share an experience. Thanks man 👊

Thanks, it was a lot of fun!

🙌🙌🙌 very kind, thank you!

Thanks Scott! We appreciate it!

Thanks so much! And sorry the fishing in Wyoming didn’t treat you better. We know exactly how that feels as well! Best of luck next time you’re out! And thanks for enjoying our adventures with us!

Very kind, thank you!

Thanks! They sure are!

I couldn't agree more! I'll take a day like this anytime 😎

Haha, it doesn’t say dry fly crushing “a” cutthroat trout, descriptive adjectives first my friend 👍😆

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, we were very blessed to find many willing fish that made for a day to remember!

Haha, thanks man! That’s exactly how we felt after finishing up for the day 😁

Thanks man! It was a fun project with some of the best footage we’ve ever collected 👊

It really is, high country small streams are really special!
