First time Fly Fishing the St. Joe River Idaho | Part 2 

Nice!

That seems to be the way most places! Or they fish right on top of you. Nice that you had a day on a river with some good fellow fisherman!

Thanks Noel glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Adam appreciate the kind words! Have you gotten out fishing yet?

Yeah nothing like being able to wake up and go catch 10 fish before breakfast :D

Thanks Nate! Appreciate you watching and letting me know. Hopefully i can get some more trips in and share the fun.

Yes , I agree, nymphing is my favorite method also. That’s some beautiful water out there , we have some nice water here on the east coast too ! Try to fish right through the winter , depending on conditions! Tight lines!

Mark Steudel I’m just outside NYC , can be in the Catskills in about an hour and a half, east and west Branch Deleware River , beaver kill , the Croton watershed has some outstanding fishing, but the Farmington in Connecticut is my favorite and holds large fish !

The river is the same today as it was as a 12 year old boy. The road is different. The trip from St, Maries to Avery about hour today. The trip to Avery back in 1957 was all dirt with switch backs.No one fished it but the local people. The dust was so heavy you could not tell if the leaves on the trees were green from the dust from the logging trucks. The trip took about 2.5 hours. Today it's all highway. Back it the 50,60, The fishing was great the limit was 25 changed to 15 1959. Today it is all catch and release. Fishing pressure is heavy.

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Your kids will have a great time. If your kids our older 14 15 they might do alright fishing the joe it;s hard river to fish. If you don;t mind brush Falls creeks the place to fish for kids lots of brook trout 25 day limit. The creek is 15 miles out of St, Maries up the joe road . The kids have a good time once you get down to the creek. Fish just about every cast no one fishes it any more. the trout 12 to14 inches.

@@garysorenson7138 hey my dad and I have been wanting to fish the St. Joe I’m 15 and have mostly grown up fishing the Descutes and Fall River in Oregon are there any patterns or stretches of water you recommend we’ve read up stream from Avery is usually good.

@@joncarlo2473 email me at kgsorenson73@yahoo.com tell you about the joe some other great streams to fish . Gary

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker I guess it was the RU-vid algorithm. I check out FF videos (particularly in the west). Yours came up and of course the St. Joe left a really positive impression on me. Love native trout and the places where they reside.

Mark Steudel Fly Fishing Stories The southeast, Alabama to be specific. But spend about a month each summer in Colorado, this year the exception.

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker You won't be disappointed. A video on my YT channel highlights some of my favorite streams.

Thank you so much Ursula! Glad you enjoyed it. Do you get out and do much fly fishing?

Hi, No, I used to fish with bait. I like to kayak and swim and I love to camp at the St Joe. In fact, I'm going tomorrow! First time of the year.

I usually pick falls because there are less crowds and fits with my own schedule better.

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Btw, this is Tim Smith, Bonnie's husband..lol, fishing can be tough in August depending on weather and fires but you can also go up some of the colder tributaries and go after bull trout- rough gravel road but can be worth it-

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker I have been fishing it since 1993. I used to go twice a year, but since we had kids it has been mostly every other year. It is easily the prettiest river I have ever fished and the trout are always looking up. You should give Kelly Creek a try as well. Or head up to BC and try the Elk.

So worth it! Where do you live?

@@alexanderjoyce3305 oh wow! Thats quite the jaunt. Well when you come over make a big trip of it and go fish a bunch of different areas

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Yep that's what I would do, thanks for the video well shot and edited and a great insight into Idaho flyfishing.

@@alexanderjoyce3305 If you do end up scheduling a trip and have some questions about the Joe feel free to ping me, happy to help if I can

I do have a zinger in the back but most of time I just stick the handle between my legs, it’s annoying putting the net away attached to the zinger.

Haha awesome! You’ll love it! It’s such a fabulous place
