INSANE 150 Foot CLIFF Boat Launch! DO NOT ATTEMPT! INTENSE Winter Steelhead Fly Fishing Adventure! 

Just subbed. Anyone that launches from 150ft cliff is damn fine in my book. I don't even need to see anymore vids although I definitely will. And I wanna see how the hell they get the boat back up😂😂

Craigslist ad in a few years, “like new boat, never abused” 😂😂😂

good thing you had that extra bow pad on there to protect it while its on the trailer, ya know before slamming it down a rocky cliff hahaha

"PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT" *proceeds to carefully document everything in detail and explain exactly which techniques to use to make this all possible* VERY COOL!

Pretty sure this just made me rethink literally every time I’ve ever driven past a pond/lake and thought to myself, “Welp, cant launch a boat in there….dang” 😂. Props to you my good sir!!

The main reason I fish out of kayaks is so I can launch where the boats cannot. You have bypassed the system. Good on you!

My father has told me all about how they started launching off that exact spot 30 years ago. Sent him this video he loved it great work guys!

“If we launch from here we have the river to ourselves!” LOVE IT!!

I'm going to file this under "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

Браво, настоящие рыбаки!!! Готовы преодолеть любые трудности, ради достижения цели!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 СПАСИБО ЗА ВИДЕО!!!!!

Admire the effort for seclusion after seeing all those boat trailors at the end, putting that fish back made my day, great video!!

I like the protective pad falling off the nose of the drift boat. Then skidding it down that gravel rocky launch. Hilarious you rock!

Hey I was expecting an insane 150 foot "Launch." That's when you sit in the boat when it's at the top of the cliff and then give it a push and down you go.

Honestly surprised the trailer didn't slide and take you out with it! Glad it worked out! Thanks for the content!

I wanted to see them pull the boat out in the same spot lol

This is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. Great job.

Came for the launch, stayed for the fishing.

I thought my buddies were fishing fanatics and used to think that I was, but you take the cake. I am amazed by everything you guys did, your rope management methods, there was so much to learn in one short video.

I do all kinds of risky stuff as a subpar surfcaster. You guys have my respect for making fly-fishing into an extreme sport 😁😁 fish on

Thank you for taking us in your adventure.... you guys are awesome!!!

Great video. That took almost as much perseverance, grit and know-how as it takes to fish with my eight year old, whom I’ve nicknamed “The Entangler.”

Damn, nice autonomous vehicle drove itself back to the boat launch.

As a rock climbing guide and someone trained in haul systems and high angle rescue, I approve... mostly 😂😅. I would’ve only done it a little different, but for a boat, smooth! 👍🏻

You guys out west are so fortunate to have those big beautiful rivers!

You guys' ROCK!! This was such a great video!! So glad you are catch and release.

The things we do for Rainbow lightning!!! Right on guys thats living

You are a true sportsman.

It reminds me of fishing with my Dad but he would have just gone ahead and backed it down there on the trailer while arguing with my mom on the cell phone, drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette all at the same time .

Catch and Release…Thank you!!! And thanks for sharing. Also nice roll casting!

We lived near a lake as a kid and my dad refused to pay to launch. We had many adventures trying new routes to get the old boat in. A few dings and scratches was well worth every day spent on the water with pops ♥️

Great job! Now pull it back up with a five to 1 pulley system. That looked like some of the stuff I've pulled off. I'm subbed.

What does the bottom of your boat look like 😭

Wife: Baby you going fishing today? Me: hell no I ain't doing all that work for a fish!

Great video, and unlike most fishing expeditions you actually caught a steelhead. Nice release to.

Got to love when your buddy says " dropping off a cliff" at 19:10 as his voice goes to little girl.

That was a sweet tutorial on how to launch a drift boat off of a cliff! I have tossed my boat countless times down that very same launch and also claim the most crashes into the tree that sits just to the right of the slide, notice why theres a patch of moss missing about rear anchor height. I double wrap my rope around the trailer say a hail mary and shove it off the cliff with two of us gloved up on the rope. Your system looks way smarter, what brand is that belay brake?

I expect to see this boat on Craigslist "drift boat, lightly used"

Dude just belayed a boat down the mountain huh 👀

i'm not a minute into the video, i'm hooked...

Terrific video. Thanks. Good rope work. Enjoyed that. You're basic bowline is of course the absolute best way to tie one. I found a RU-vid video teaching it and studied and practiced it until it was part of my DNA. It's automatic, can do it eyes closed, even one handed. I've been with a several sailors more experienced than me, and after 'the bunny goes into the hole..." two or three times. I just reach in and crank it. The upgraded bowline is new to me. I'll work on that one too. Couple of tips for people still struggling with their knots. I had to practice them at home, during watches, over and over. Run through them every now and then. What I discovered after 7500 nMiles of sailing: My rolling hitch was hesitant and my cleat hitch wasn't smooth. So learning on the job isn't as effective as deliberate practice. I hadn't practiced those two outside of using them. So get a plastic cleat and a piece of dowel rod or another rope. Start out doing them over and over and over. Do them again the next day until you're smooth, then wait a few days, then a week. But always try to practice them every month or so. (I used to be not very good. I could tie lumber to the roof but there were too many granny knots. If you ever get kidnapped, hope it's by a sailor, their knots are easy to undo. If it's grannies? It's your teeth or pay the ransom.) Your over the shoulder wrap is really clear and easy to follow. There are a lot of RU-vid videos that want to teach but they rush key steps, don't pause at key moments. And watch out for right and left handed instructors. That can be a problem. And never just find one video, find ten and pick the best ones. And I used to think catch and release was kind of wrong. Don't bother the fish unless you intend to eat it. But on that same trip trolling a hand line, big eyed lure at the end. The last couple of hundred miles out of Japan there just weren't any fish near the surface. The sea birds, like the whales some times do, were using us a marker, flying in big loops. There were smarter and dumber birds. The less intelligent birds would land near the lure to check it out, the smarter ones never did -- but they all loved zooming over it and giving it the eye. They all knew it was fake as do dolphins and sea lions, but they still liked the practice or play. So clearly your (terrific) fish was also having a good time. Less 'annoying the critter' and more symbiotic fun. Everybody eventually figures out that the laser pointer isn't fooling a cat or dog. It only takes holding it on one spot and then noticing your pet looks up at you. I really enjoyed this.

Ride er down cowboy style next time! Love it!

The efforts that we go through to fish. That was pretty cool!

Theirs a perfectly good landing point 2 miles up the road lol

My imagination ran a little wild from that title. I thought I was gonna see a couple guys break out some gopros, and go sleddin down a hill at 40mph in a boat, and bounce off the water a time or two at the bottom.

I believe this is in Oregon. I visited the NW loved Oregon, Washington and N. California, beautiful nature. Great nautical tradition, nice boat, I have a 12 " Point Defiance built in Washington, Gig Harbor boat works, visitied wooden boat school, really nice sub culture up that way.

I quit scouts when it came to knot tying. Obviously this guy stuck with it.

Aw, I wanted to see you haul it up the hill to the trailer.

I wanted to see you pull that boat back up your launch sight 😂 Great video.

Love the relaxing music.

I think I know that spot and I have a hard time walking down that hill-can’t imagine dropping a boat there

I’m proud to say I’m here before he gets 10000 subscribers

Semi-retired Fly Fishing Instructor from LL Bean. You just passed my class! Just subbed. Tight lines!

Amazing. First time seeing a 150ft boat launch.

This is the life. Nice fish! You made the sacrifice to go through all of that work. Well done.

Let's all take a minute to appreciate the Rigging

I just love this launch. I’m heading to Portland soon to pick up my first Clackacraft. Can’t wait for the dentures to come.

My Lord. Only other person I have ever seen wrap line like me. Tried teaching a few guys, always looped and twisted it. Mine was cable not rope. You rock. I am more amazed at the wrapping then throwing a boat down a steep bank. Too cool. Lol

That's like 50 feet down a grass hill lol. Clickbait.

Never say fly fisherman was not extreme. Makes Bass fisherman looks like pansies. lol

And outstanding boat control.

All that work and one fish....gotta love fishing right? Crazy launch and weather.

Yep. Definitely want to see how they get it back on the truck!.. might I add..with a tree at the bottom!! Also. What a perfectly tied rope! Hes definitely done this before!

VERY DEDICATED IS THE ANSWER.....GREAT VIDEO

What I realize Is. When it comes to fishing that’s when creative ideals happen. I’m not blown away of the ideal I’m blown away that you just made it happen. Toddles !!!!!!!

That River looks inviting 👍👍

Man you guys are some awesome, dedicated fishermen!

The coolest boat launch down 150ft to the river 👍☺️

Pristine waters and great casting techniques! Love the cross-over cast!

The one that impresses me is the one not in the video, the person who actually provides the instruction to Hunter LOL. Awesome

The whole time I was imagining what the 150' drop was doing to the bottom of the boat... then re-imagining raking it back up over who knows what kind of surface... If the boat bottom was made of steel or kryptonite I would rest assured... the rest of the video with hardware strategies and rigging was SUPERB!! Like everyone else, I think I would have love to seen the retrieval after the adventure of fishing. Great job on explaining the rigging..

Hardcore boys! Insane footage.

Never saw a bowline knot tied like that. Brilliant.

What an awesome river!!! Great day guys. WORTH IT!!!!!!!! It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.

Boat launch was the best part for me. Great teaching segment. 😉👌

Awesome. Genius. Above all the continuity of a species.

Well that's one way to get away from pressure, well done!! Got into some Steelhead up in Ontario a few years back, it was a blast!

WOW!! Now this guy knows how to have some fun! Love This!!

And I thought I loved fishing !! You the man!!

Had a 17 ft handmade wooden driftboat up in Alaska for 15 years and loved it! But never ever did anything this crazy lol. Now living Outside (lower 48) and really miss my old boat. Awesome video here guys thx for the memories.;8)

Reminds of a spot on the Nehelem River on the Oregon coast I used to rope my drift boat down . Winter steelhead fishing was great back then

That’s dedication to the sport right there mate, good job getting it down there!

Thank you guys for sharing this challenging, but well worth your time fishing trip ! My parents would always say " where there's a will, there's a way "! Yes , I will be watching more of your clips. TJ

Well done! There is a lot of skill shown here...excellent Captain. Thank you.

you guys are the real deal . i love it true adventure are risky and dealt with ingenuity.

The heart of the Trek the better the reward I've always learned that backpacking and fishing. I'd be totally on board with this extra work to have a part of the river to yourself

Climber meets River Boat. Keep the Fish@!

I don't own a drift boat but I have launched 16", 14', 10' Jon boats many times like this but without the belay device. Kayaks and canoes with just rope through one carabineer attacked to tree sling. With some common sense you can have many more option to everything in life. Thanks for sharing, beautiful water and scenery. Stay safe!

Gentleman never say die!!💪🏼🎣

I thought he would SIT in it and just RIDE IT DOWN??? COME ON MAN! You had your BROWN PANTS ON!!!😂

Im so glad you put that little rubber piece on the front so you dont scratch the hull. :)

Not as crazy as I was expecting actually really thought out and controlled in my opinion

Love the Wilson!

You two deserve a state record lunker with all that work, but I'm sure the fishing in solitude was reward enough 💪🎣

What a boat launch !, the skilled ropework was a pleasure to watch, the fishing ! next level....

Would never do that in my boat but looks like you made it down safe and had fun so more power to you

And I thought we had some messed up boat ramps here in Perry Florida!

I'm so glad you let that fish go. I almost shed a tear LOL !!

In the Florida keys before there were a lot of ramps. The used trailers that could tilt up so you could launch at dirt shorelines or the beach! Wow! Grande cajones! God bless guides! I have used wood steps going down 50-60 feet down to the river. They installed wood slides between the steps to lower drift rafts. Now this is roughing it!👍👍👍👍

Outstanding! just plain outstanding!

Makes perfect sense to me!
