thanks for this video, it took me back in time. I lived in MT for 15 years. Fished the Bighorn a few times. Now in my eighties, I cannot do rocky streams anymore. Be good to your bones young man,
And a river runs through it!! Wonderful film, banished the winter blues, lovely wild fish those buttery browns, very well fished and nice to see them so carefully handled and released. Thanks so much, what beautiful country, cheers from the UK. ps you may be needing a bigger net!!.
Absolutely love this, great job, and yes there's a little jealousy here lol, but I'll be out tomorrow again on my Virginia mountain streams, tight lines fellas
The hole at 5 minutes 😂. That whole area, is my playground, meaning I'm just playing around when I go there, because I live here. I actually enjoy interacting with visitors, though most are too stubborn to take advice, even from a local. I've had 50 fish days in that canyon. Cool shots man.
@@Philsherrybowen 😆 you wouldn't believe the day I had there yesterday. I might delete this comment. Snow cone #16 #18 UV payczech #16 #14 I'll say this about the day I had. If you talked to everyone else, you'd think it was slow. Spin fisherman couldn't buy a fish. They are very particular about a perfect drift, they see a lot of casts. I felt greedy after catching about 15 fish, including a bright red 21 inch male, right in front of a guy, so I gave him my spot. Considering he did not produce the same results, and knowing what I know, I concluded that this area in particular is going to reward your skill level in a practically measurable way. Keep that rod bent. 🏔️🏞️
@@Philsherrybowen that's awesome you're coming here for a month in September. One of my favorite things in September is terrestrial dries on stillwater. They seem to come up shallow and cruise, can make for some great sight fishing if you can get the wind to cooperate. Great videos btw, enjoy the vibe. Like how you treat the fish too, great work man.
Went to Montana for the first time this past July. Immediately got Covid. lol. Besides feeling like shit the whole time I did enjoy fishing the little creeks back up in the mountains around Paradise and St. Regis, though the biggest fish I landed was a 14” cutt. Did spend a day on the Clark but only landed one fish all day lmao. Did hook an 18ish cutt that broke off at the boat. I’m ready to start tying again to get ready for next season now that bird hunting is pretty much wrapped up here in Wisconsin, can’t wait to get out again, I’ll probably be dodging ice once it opens up again here in January!
Same thing happened to me when I visited the Shenandoah valley for some brookies. Sick as dog. Made it as far as I could but was very limited. Before that magical cuttie day a 14” cut would’ve been a dream of mine. I didn’t ever expect to net a 22” Yellowstone cuttie. There was also a section of this video where I hiked deep to an alpine lake in search of golden trout - I found them. But they wouldn’t bite. Had all of this beautiful footage I had to scrap.
OMG! That last fish...what a BEAST! Nicely done. Beautiful scenery and gorgeous fish. I agree with a lot of people about the music. But I also understand your reasoning, if you don't like your own commentary when landing your prize. My 2 cents...I would keep it to stuff that is mellow and smooth, to compliment the scenery and the activity. "World Ender" was annoying and just kind of ruined that section of video for me. But the rest was much better.
I love this video! Montana looks amazing, and I personally love the songs you’ve chosen. Chapter 6!!??? That could be a film all on its own. Gave me chills!!
That’s for watching! I hear ya - I really just make these tapes for fun. More like an edited fishing journal. Happy to talk fly anytime on my instagram. 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@25falcons I didn’t have room to bring 2 rods so I just brought the 9’5. Sometimes dry dropping, sometimes under an indi - just depending on water type.
As a Montanan, please visit. But don’t immediately start looking for “property”. We’re being overwhelmed and the Montana of your imagination is being destroyed.
Well done sir. One of the finest Montana Fly-fishing tributes Ive ever seen. Thanks for taking me back 30 years, when I was stationed in Montana and learning the sport for the first time. Gary R, USAF-Retired
Gave it a like and a subscribe. Loved the footage and all the beautiful fish. And as for me, I'd much rather hear your comments while hooking, fighting and landing a fish, as well as the natural flow of the water, birds chirping, and nature's "orchestra," than artificial music. Thanks for posting.
I would love that too! I unfortunately I hate my own commentary. I make grunting noises while bringing in fish I've noticed since I've started shooting too which again, is off-putting. Glad you otherwise enjoyed the video!
Bro, great video!!!!! I was a few time in USA and i made some fly fishing (in Arizona) but Montana is my next adventure. I am from Serbia (Europe) and 99% i used only one dry fly. Here is most of nimph with indicator…… is that yout style or just that is how it was that day? Anyway great story man.
