Im doing a salmonfly roadtrip with multi day floats/camping from may- end of june heading east from oregon snd ending in Colorado. Im seriously considering adding the Teton to my list of DIY Float trips. How sketchy would you say this section of river is for a solo float in a packraft? Thanks awesome video!

Avoid using mechanical lip gripping devices on active fish, since this can cause jaw injury.

You are 100 percent killing fish. Taking the fish out of the water for that long is bad enough-try holding your breath the whole time the fish is out of the water bc that is what they are doing. Even worse you aren’t even wetting your hands, which strips the fish’s protective slime layer off. I’ve literally seen fish with hand print-shaped infections on them from people not wetting their hands. Appalling.

That sc 15 is the worst possible tarpon hook ..thin wire tin plated cadmium ...no better hook than a gama Sl 12 1x short..sticky, impossible to straighten..ive literally had permit straighten that sc 15 and due to the tarpons morphology..id tie the bunny strip upside down so he can actually see it...

Nice , should have named it the boat stopper. It’s a fly that if it gets hung up while your floating down a river your just not going to break off . You will stop and try to save it . I also like using wool on the heads . Thanks for sharing
