My buddy who is a guide in Idaho watched this video and said you are one of the few fly fishing youtubers that can actually fish.

As an Idaho native I seriously appreciate you not disclosing the nice spots you go to. Can't get enough of your videos. Great work man!

Somebody once said: "Trout don't live in ugly places." Your videos certainly prove that point. Great stuff Drew.

I admire that you venture out alone to fish. I’ve never really done the. I’m retired, lost my wife and have too much time on my hands. You’ve inspired me to get out there and fly fish. Thanks from Idaho

This is one of your best videos. I appreciate the occasional comments while you fish. It's kind of fun to hear what you are thinking or feeling as you fish.

Hey Drew, every time I watch your videos I get a mix of joy and extreme jealousy, as well as a fear that these remote places you are in won't be the same when I can finally go explore them. I am going into my senior year of college in Salt Lake City as a ballet and environmental studies double major, so I have a long road ahead of me before I can be taking such amazing trips as you. I still manage to get in a lot of fishing time, I just really want to get off the beaten path and see as much wilderness as I can before climate change can seriously alter them or the beautiful fish they hold. Nevertheless, thank you for your simple yet amazing videos. Tight lines, and I would love to fish with you one day.

You are giving me a reason to retire. Lol. Great videos. You have shown us some great scenery...Thank you.

Nothing better than a day on the river and then enjoying a cold one while taking in the scenery. Love your videos.

best stagg chilli comercial ever they better pay ya lol

A whole new meaning to "trout bum"...what a place! Thank drew for putting these all together...itsmuch appreciated .mg fly trips are getting harder to do the older I get..quality not quantity is the word...Conejos in a few weeks

I've watched dozens of your videos... and frankly I'm a bit disapointed. I'm disapointed in myself for not getting out more. I live here in Boise, and when I watch how easy you make it look, even in small pocket water, I want to throw my iPad across the room, grab my rod & gear, jump in my Jeep and disappear for a week or two. But, my lovely wife might get the wrong idea. I'd better explain it to her first, or try... Thanks Drew!

Magic creek,super mister❤❤❤. Cristal clear water.nice trout.

Beautiful fish…thanks for taking us along!!

Looks like the area I know well. Plus, the secret, go camping, fishing during the week, not on the weekends. Beautiful area. Chainsaw, mandatory.

Stunning streams and some stud cuts. Another great video. Well done, Drew.

Outstanding is all I can say!

Def one of your best videos. my dream trip

Nice one Drew! lots of fish over those few days. Thanks for the trip! Cheers

Idaho Rocks!

You find the most beautiful places. And they have fish. Well done!

Great video. These trips are all bucket trips I’d like to do.

Big deer jumped out of the water at about the 320 mark when you first got to the water.

Great videos. An old dude planning his first trip to ID, getting excited

Welcome back!

Your videos are the best brother,dont stop

Hey Drew, your summer vacation videos are much better than most other peoples. 😂 Beautiful country. Thx for sharing all this. 👍

Best vid so far. Thx DrewThx for your service, Thx for the time.

REALLY! 🥩 your wife is a PRINCESS SAINT! She supports your fishing adventures all the time. Great vids well done. 👍🏻

Awesome video and fish.

I actually live in Idaho & live this scene a fair share of every Summer. To bad we're full.

Great camping site.

Drew... you mentioned NC. I take it you are from NC. I am also. Your videos and talking about the equipment etc is very informative. Thank you.

Really enjoy this channel. Started fly fishing seriously this past summer. I relocated to Montana for the summer and fished in the Missoula area and over the border in Idaho in the Clearwater drainage. The fishing in Idaho was awesome. It would be cool if you could identify generally, the river drainage you are fishing without giving up the specific location. Keep fishing Drew! I am in the mid-Atlantic and have to get my trout fix on RU-vid until I got back to Montana next summer .

So cool, love the videos, and I am sure the steak was good.

I've watched all your videos and a few twice, there that good! Another stunning video Drew! Enjoyed the long form but you could've made 4 or 5 stunning videos out of this adventure and I still would've enjoyed it. Love that your adding more camping, cooking, wildlife shots to go with the fishing! One question, are you using a mic w your gopro? Your audio is good and I can't seem to get that w just a gopro without boosting it in post. Anyways take care, c you on the next one! Steve at Black Fly ✌️

Beautiful 😍

nicely edited!

Some pretty water

very good video greetings from argentina, thanks

Do you believe if you hook a fish it won’t bight again until that sore mouth heals up? Maybe the rest of the day even? I’m an old steelhead fisherman and that’s the talk in my circles. Thanks Drew. Now that I’m old and don’t fished as much your fun to watch.

I know it's edited but man you really catch some fish. Awesome!!

You mentioned a plane dropping orange balloons near a fire site. That could be what my forestry major college classmates called, 'slurry' or a fire retardant. These guys would work as fire-fighters for the USFS during summers and a couple of times came back for fall classes with skin all tainted by the stuff, having been doused by it during close action with fires.

stunning stream, stunning fish, stunning scenery. Of course you deserve a 17$ steak 😋

Hey Drew......I don't know if you have discussed this in a previous video, but I was just wondering what awning you were using, I have been on the lookout for one for my truck! I live in Idaho and although we don't get much rain this time of year, I do like to be prepared! Plus, it's nice to crack one open under cover instead of being stuck in the back of the truck....

Have you considered trying tight line nymphing to your repertoire, some of that water was screaming ESN to me 😆🎣👍

Geez that’s a lot of big cutts

Beautiful waters once again. Was this from last year’s trip or is this 2023? Thanks again for sharing. I have some time in Utah next week and Colorado in September. M2

Beautiful country and some gorgeous fish. 17 bucks for a steak is pretty normal these days..

Hi Drew, I very much like you're way of living and your way of flyfishing. After retirement, next year July I plan a worldtour. To start in Europe, via US/Canada, Patagonia, Mongolia and New Zealand. However, I just wonder: don't you get bored to fish all those years like you're doing? I once made a 4 weeks trip and was glad to be back home again.. By the way: might your cooler fall out for whatever reason: cool your beer in the stream. I used to do that.

How I hope heaven looks

Great videos! Do you ever catch n eat??

good shit as always, question though do you use an app to find water or are you old school looking for blue lines on a map.

One of those fish would be great on an open fire

Dang drew, you definitely know how to find some of the most beautiful water,and the fish that live there are just as beautiful. Your like me, I want to get away I don't want to see or hear anyone. Enjoyed watching. 👍

Some of your videos are in some of the places I have fished in past years. At least they look similar if not the same

Biggest was a 6 1/2 lb brown in NZ. Guessing about 28 inches. Biggest bow about the same. Biggest brookie about 3lb 18 inches.

2 wt? ca 6x tippett? Great videos.

Which five streams did you go to? I live here in Eastern Idaho and I'm always wanting to find new streams to fish.

Is this eastern Idaho? Near Yellowstone area?

Hey man, love watchin your channel. I do have a couple questions though. Things that stand out. Why do you not only ever mention the streams you fish, not even mention the part of the state your in or a nearby city? Seems a bit odd. Other shows like The New Fly Fisher, and others mention the streams.

What did the WARNING sign say?

maybe someone can help me out here. Does anyone know what the fold down fuel carrier hitch attachment is? Is it a DIY project?

What hook size are you using on your dropper

I felt your pain when that fish got off.

What glass are you wearing? Are they Fantail Pro with Copper 580G?

I bet the downed trees are from the God Awful winter that the whole west had although truly a God send of course

Do you see many Rattle snakes while youŕe out in the back country?

Can you please tell us what county you are in? Thanks.

I don’t see a tent, do you sleep in your truck?

Nice video , thanks for sharing. Would you recommend an e-bike to get around between main holes and explore? I

Do you ever eat any of your catch?

why dont u eat the fish?

Other video's I see guys crouched, walking slow because of clear low water, I don't do much of that, do you?

I just told my wife that if I won the lottery, I would do this.

A loaded logging truck ALLWAYS HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY.

Another one bites the dust. Squids no brains.

Why do you have to handle the fish? Those fish will die in a couple of hours.

Man the western mountains are paradise! Mixed feelings about logging……necessary evil but It gripes me when our resources are pimped out to foreign interest (as in the redwoods)…..anyway, still fantastic out there. I grew up near the Sierra’s in Sacramento and now live in Mountain Home, AR………it has its own beauty but it’s just not the same vibe as the big conifer forests. Fantastic videos man!

trees down may be from the big snow year...

Both great spots! What’s the limit now, 15 nights in a row before moving?? Lol yeah they’d have to kick me down the road.

Stagg chili…yes sir…

No thanks on the Idaho. Not in a million years.
