Teton Valley Trout | Ultimate Idaho Fly Fishing 

Holy hell they couldn't have made a better promotional video than this right here. That was amazing and that guide was the boss!

Chris Scott is an awesome guide!

This guide sounds like a spiritual guide. Seems like he's got some serious passion for his job. That is what your call success in life.

I am a guide in NJ we have a few decent waterways, pequest, south branch, musky, over the years i started to fly fish for Stripers and blues and was hooked pretty quick, bouncing from Jettys to the beach and trout fell on the backside for a few years. As i moved up to north Jersey it was back to trout, were mainly using small flies 18, 20s and 22s, after opening day we used 16s and 12s for the stocked bows, they love white leg woolly Boogers lol .After the years i soon realize i enjoy just as much watching people i guide catch there first fish or see them finally get that ticking on the bottom where those nymphs need to be and watching that line go straight. You cant teach this, the excitement is real from the start of the journey to the tying of the fly and casting to that rising fish, it must all come together and when it does its awesome.

I've been going to Teton Valley Lodge since I was 19 years old. I'm 44 years old now. Love my Elder Berry's!

You know you have a good guide when he is more stoked than you about catching the fish.

This guide had some great tricks and a great attitude! Mark did a really nice job taking those techniques and landing fish. Great show! 🤗

The guide is like a fish Shaman!

Probably one of the coolest guides I ever seen

I guided for TVL back in 2004. They’re the best guides I’ve ever seen and mr fuego Chris Scott is one of the best flat out fisherman I’ve ever seen. I watched him catch this giant cutty on the snake that was sun bleached to a light tan color. If your a fisherman and you want a day of flat out catching fish this is the spot and mr Scott is the man LETEM RUN. This video has brought back some amazing memories. The way TVL guide are trained to row the boat is brutal for the first few weeks but after you get use to it and see the amount of fish you can boat just by putting in work is amazing. This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time

Chris's enthusiasm was infectious! I'd love to fish with him.

This may be one of the best fishing videos Ive seen in years...and Yes, I do know those waters...Gettin excited to return!

Sorry I missed the live feed. Both my parents families are from the Teton Valley, I spent every summer growing up at my grandparents home in Driggs, my grandfather fished the teton river his entire life, we used to be able to access the river anywhere we wanted, those days are long gone and the area is filled with summer homes for people with more money than they know what to do with, but not enough to live across the mountain in Jackson. Fishing used to be excellent anywhere along the Teton River and in the fall a short trip to star valley and the Afton area we fished for big browns in the salt river, again, access was no problem 60 plus years ago. I made a trip to fish for browns there a few years back and it was fun, caught some nice fish but not the same as it used to be. We still have a family reunion every year up on Fred's mountain, named after my great grandfather who owned the timber rights to the entire Teton range along with several thousand acres, now there is a ski resort up there, its not the same either, I played, camped, and fished all over that country wherever I wanted and had a blast growing up there. While I hate to see all of the change the area has seen over the years it is nice to see people can still fish the river and enjoy the same things I did as a kid. Thanks for the videos and information, brought back some great memories.

Man that last canyon launch was unreal!...kudos to one heck of a guide!

People dont realize how impressive that net job at 29:55 was... props to that guide hes a great one!

Chris’s fish handling skills are top tier. Looks like a great destination. Nice footage!

The best Flyfishing channel on youtube

Someone should hire Chris to run their lodge snd train guides. Guy is a legend

I guided for a few years in Wyoming and Colorado. Chris really had some unique approaches, and this video was fun to watch. His netting technique was just how I learned to do it in the fast waters out West. Fast plunging motion to get net under the fish, then lift. Doesn't give them time to see the net coming and react. Good techniques, solid results, and beautiful scenery and fish!

Damn good show! Chris is a great addition to the episode. It's fun to watch a pro do their job to that level. Well done!

Watching those fish hit is so much fun!!

That flatwater portion at the beginning looked like serious fun, kinda like stalking bones. That guide is outstanding.

Beautiful fish and beautiful countryside.

Sight fishing on smooth, clear water like this is an absolute favorite for me. Yellowstone is such a tremendous resource for us fly fishers with such a variety of water. There are many hike-in creeks we fish there that can’t be beat for quality fishing and incredible scenery. Thanks for the entertaining video Mark. Very well done.

As an avid fly fisher from Scotland, this looks the dream! The colours on those Cutthroat trout are incredible. Maybe, just maybe some day.......... :)

In the spirit of constantly pushing the possibilities of trout habitat, I have been pondering creating stonefly habitat in some of the man made spring creeks we build. Thanks for the aerial views in these videos. They gave me some new insights to make this happen! Now I may be able to have a personal salmonfly hatch! Thanks!

I'm an outdoorsman, not much of a fisherman, but your videos absolutely captivate me. Good job and carry on, young man!

It's refreshing to see the guide and hear his knowledge as the focus of this episode (a great guide at that). I've been discouraged to keep watching this show in the past because it's painful to watch the guides silently stand by while the host does all the talking. The guides make it all happen and it's important to hear and respect what they have to say. Great show.

That dry fly at the end of a nymph rig was next-level! I don't think I'm gonna try that at home, but that was very cool. It's always fun to impress your guide. I've had the privilege of doing that a grand total of one time LOL.

I moved to Teton Valley in 1987 and fished that river a bunch of times, including fishing behind the Lodge. In fact I knew the owners of the Lodge (John Pehrson and Randy Berry). One year, Randy gave me a fly tying kit and free fly tying lessons. I don’t live the valley now, but the fishing is a reason I go back.

Watching, green with envy from a locked down UK. I would love to come to the US and fish some of your beautiful rivers. I completed Royal Marines basic training in 89/90. My Tp Sergeant was a USMC Gunnery Sergeant. Oliver Tilley. I seem to recall he was a fly fisherman, but having little interest in fishing it was of no relevance. Well, I certainly have now. Gunny, if you happen to read this comment, please drop me a line (no pun intended).

We love Teton Valley , Idaho . We are going there in 2021 good Lord willing . We will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We can’t wait !

One of the coolest fly videos I’ve seen. Glad I found this channel.

The canyon is absolutely perfect. Thanks for the tips also

I’m new to fly fishing and your guide is awesome with his knowledge of the fish and techniques. One day before I die I want a trip like that.

One of the best guides I've seen on RU-vid.

Great video! Awesome fish! Makes me want to get out on a western river.

Amazing days on the water...outstanding guide !

Wow... !!! Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!

That is the most beautiful trout I've ever seen!!! Thanks for sharing

And by the way, I love that stretch of the South Fork of the Snake, but because it holds Peregrines!

My first trout was caught in a trip to Teton Valley Lodge...fantastic experience. My job at the time, paid for the trip, couldn’t afford now.

What an amazing trip!!!

Great fishing! That one big brown towards the end what a beautiful fish. Great job to your guide great net skills

Love it. Some of my favorite water.

Great video! great guide and gorgeous scenery. That monster brown @ 39:35 was amazing!

Great fly fishing place 👌

Awesome vid!

Mark, some great moves fishing the Teton. Chris is like a surgeon which other guides could learn from.

This by far is my most favorite video you guys have had. Great guide, great host, great trip....just awesome!!! Love every minute!!

Wonderful video!

Loved this video!! Great adventure, beautiful fish, and I learned so much!!

Awesome trip Mark and a Great Guide nice work Chris .Super nice footage from the camera guy 👍 👍🇺🇲🗽 The Vermonter

Loved this video! Thanks for making and sharing it.I can’t believe you dropped that raft off a cliff. Nice work bringing in those big fish. Just curious when this was in case I make a trip to the Tetons.

Absolutely awesome video 👍 your camera work is outstanding.

I’m going there this summer for sure!!!!! Chris seems like a cool dude!

Cool seeing local videos where I know exactly where they are by seeing the shot.

What a cool guide. MVP

Thanks for sharing from Minnesota!

Oh man this makes me so homesick I'm born and raised in blackfoot idaho. But I've been living in Tbilisi Georgia/Europe great video!

Love the new stuff! Super clear filming and an amazing area to fish! I love the HANK!

I like how you can see though fly fishing waters

Excellent video

so nice video i like it very much ! thanks

Teton Valley Lodge and Fly Shop looks like the perfect place to start a great float trip on the Teton. See you in the spring! Mark and Chris are making it hurt to wait until then. 😎

Such an excellent episode. Keep up the great work!

Great video thanks man!

Looks like heaven to me!!!

Wow 😲, Fantastic video Mark 🎣👍🎣. Beautiful rivers and, absolutely spectacular fishing. 👍👍

Chris using those pedal sticks to move the boat, his shoulders and back must be strong as heck

Awesome! I love Idaho. I caught my very first ever rainbow trout there. Although on the west side of the snake river valley, downstream of the Mackay Reservoir near Mount Borah.

awesome work! love the positive vibes here. cheers

Awesome video , great terrain, i would love to come to the states and fly fish, im from new zealand, the fish here are pretty big compared to the ones in your video, you should come try our waters.

Very nice video.

Very good video

You guys are awesome and very educational.

Awesome adventure 😎

Heaven for anglers greetings from Indonesia

Awesome job Mark. Your videos are great

Aww yeah Idaho is a great place to be!

Amazing and enjoying 👍

You guys have the best jobs in the world!

Great job Mark!!

Your cuts are a bit different colour than those you're catching. Ours are much darker green and the pattern of the spots are different being more dense over the entire length of the body. They are not cutbows and they are not browns. I don't know if this happens with yours, but in the spring when they are doing their spawning run, their gill flaps and the orange on their throats get a really brilliant orange. After spawning, they return to their usual colour pattern.

How could you not like this? Awesome 👍

Spot sungai Air jernih bersih ikanya banyak memang mantap untuk mancing ikan👍👍😍😍🙏🇮🇩

What's with scooping with the landing net? I was taught to keep the net still, in the water, and bring the fish to the net. Is this new?

Wonderful video thank you. Can I ask why you don’t use barbless hooks if the fish are being returned. I see you want to release them quickly but before that there is hell of a lot of squeezing and tugging to get the fly out. Best wishes John from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

i love your videos

Such a good video. It would be awesome to do a lot of these. Then I can plan out my trips lol.

Beautiful river and great looking fish. Just curious why you dont fish barbless?

I did that good on my 1 wt. Orvis fly rod.

surprised the sticks banging the boat doesn't spook the fish more... can't argue with results.

the getting to the river part would keep the riff raff out...Damn. Nice fish and thanks for sharing...

Good episode!

excellent guide. I wish I could afford him

I have a trip planned with TVL next month. I've been thinking about the canyon section of the Teton river. How hard was the hike out of the canyon?

Nice video one question what weight rod are you fishing. In Montana / Idaho on big water most of us use 5 or 6 weight. It looks like your fishing a 7....?

I've done well with traditional fishing and able to catch my limit and decided to switch to fly and bam I hooked myself twice.

Are those hybrid cutbows a result of introduced rainbows breeding with and diluting the native cutthroat strain? Could they cause problems in the future with maintaining the native species?
