In part 15 of the 9-week truck bed camping road trip, I'm in Idaho for the next three weeks. It's my first day and I've found a stream that holds some remarkable westslope cutthroat trout. They are big, beautiful and stacked in every hole! On top of that, the stream is absolutely breathtaking, proof the fish gods created Idaho! Check out all the videos from this trip in the playlist linked below:

@daneosier9089 Год назад

You were in some of the best cutty waters Idaho has to offer. Last summer I caught a beautiful 16” cutthroat 200 yards down stream from your second night camp. It’s incredible that trout get that big in that small stream but they get bigger than that. The biggest I’ve caught in that drainage was 20” and I’m pretty sure I’ve had some bigger than 20 snap my line and not even give me a chance. One of my favorite places on earth.

@tonymair Год назад

Like so many, I love your videos…and you catch fish wherever you go, so good on you. But please spend a little more time showing your fans your fly set up… We’re always happy to learn from a good angler Cheers!

@LooknFishy Год назад

Thank you. I try to show them every few videos. The dry is my top shelf hopper...shown it many times. The dropper was a perdigon and a flash wing caddis I showed about 3 vids back. Also got a video on here that talks about the only flies you need out west...still all I use 90% of the time.

I love your videos and the streams you fish. And I like how you show the fish you catch. If I could make a suggestion...tell us the size of some fish...not every one. The third fish caught in this video looked very big for a creek this size. I'd guess it was 14" or 15". You deserve bragging rights when you catch nice trout

@LooknFishy Год назад

Thank u! I've learned to avoid mentioning sizes...if I say it's big or large or huge...someone will disagree....every time lol! I've seen people argue over what someone called a 16" fish or a wild/stocked fish. So I just show them and let the fish tell its story!

@geoffreymilke5176 Год назад

I get it that some people will bicker about the size of a fish, but one of those cuties looked like it was close to 18". Its disappointing as a viewer to guess based on your hand size and how you are holding it. Catching large trout in streams is awesome...go with the awesomeness4

@LooknFishy Год назад

I dig the WS cutts...they definitely seem to be more aggressive. Seems like I can catch multiple from a hole...like the one in the video...even after a fish swims thru it trying to get free!
