Hey Drew, I don't normally comment, but now I see you camping in Another of my "secret" spots! Literally, the same spot. Anyway, thanks for being discreet about where you're at, the locals really appreciate it. If you get back to this area hit me up .. seems we're already fishing the same places anyway. Cheers

"...don't know what day it is..." [Translation: successful trip!] Drew, I've been a subscriber for months. Thanks for posting these videos. Your low dialogue, no nonsense, no BS approach is a good combination. Hope to buy you a beer someday on the White River, or in the Driftless region!

I’ve fished out of Jackson Hole since 1970 and you’re the finest brown trout fisherman I’ve ever seen! Not a bad job on cutthroat and rainbows either! Just love watching you work!

Wow nice browns for that small of a creek...Hungry too...Thanks for sharing...

I’m blown away with the size of the browns in that steam. A treasure for sure!

Thank you for posting all of these awesome videos. They’re the best thing I’ve seen on KZfaq. Awesome that on all the videos that I’ve watched haven’t seen another person.

Gorgeous fish! I was nervous for you every time you walked around a tree - bears scare the crap out of me - you’re brave dude !

Hey Drew enjoy the camping dinner making as much as the fishing. very relaxing to watch.

Incredibly nice browns. Decent size for that small a creek. Congrats on your success!

Nice.

I love how willing small creek trout are. Your videos are my favorites.

Great trip. Wish I could get away like that. You have a comfortable set up too in your pick up. Thanks!

The next best thing to being on the water yourself, is to follow Drew. Videos are most enjoyable.

Doesn't get much better than that! Enjoyed Drew. Thanks!

Wild browns that have never been fished sure looks like an excellent adventure. Keep those bears away.

That babbling sound of the water 👍👍

Always awesome Drew, thanks for sharing!!

What an adventure!

Can’t get enough of these.

I really like my Kathydan Basecamp water filter. Fill a bag w about 2 gal water filter at bottom. Gravity fileters water. I have 2 liter MSR water bag I fill and a couple 2 liter plastic jugs.

I'm a retired veteran and have nothing but time on my hands. This would be fun if you want some company next time let me know. I have been fly fishing for years. I tie and build my own rods now. Love your video's tight lines.

Great stuff, as always!

Like your camping setup!!!

Another great video. “ I figured there was an easier way to do than the way I was doing it” dude laughing my ass off at that. So true when I first get to an area. Trout fever kicks in and I’m off to the water bushwhacking all over the place.

Great video! Love the camping and cooking part too, makes for a more interesting video.

Nicely done! Cant wait to get back out west. Thanks for the footage

“Almost as good as Spam”, my favorite line.

I have really enjoyed following your adventures. It’s kinda cool seeing you go back through places you fished last year or places I’ve fished myself.

Another excellent video Drew! Be cool to see you tie a Fly at camp! Lov how your sharing more! Tight lines,✌Steve at Black Fly

This is epic.

Some big ass browns from a tiny stream. This looked fun!

Doesn't get any better than that!

Im a brown trout man and they were sensational from the most beautiful little burn.

New sub here. Viewed the flies you use out west first. Great info as I'm headed back next week for some Blue Lining. I like the way you roll! I only stumble and fall when I have my best rod in my hands...😁. Impressive and outstanding presentation!

With the new plastics, I have a difficult time relating to your "4x" Back in the day, fishing clear water in the NW, I had Maxima leader, pound and a half. more than that, the bigger, older, wiser fish would turn away. After 50 years of fly fishing, building my own rods, tying my flies and creating my own patterns, I do not fly fish anymore. I am perfectively capable but with two new knees I will not risk my knees wading a stream with steep banks and moss covered boulders. I have loaned my maple and walnut fly tying chest to my buddy along with my rod, a Loomis with my custom handle and reel seat. I like dry fly fishing best. If you want to eat fish for dinner your better off putting a chunk of night crawler on a wooly worm and go deep. Wrap a foil package of cleaned and cropped trout with some bacon bits and dried onion, salt and pepper. and put them on coals over Spruce bows about 20 minutes. Spruce will char but still hold the package up so it does not burn. I quit using a net after the elastic caused the net, hung on a branch to almost knock me out when I turned to see where it was hung up. Instead, I use a burlap bag that is cut so I can sling it over my shoulder. You can lead a nice trout in against the burlap while wading and just roll it into the bag. The cut is larger on the outside and creates a nice cradle for the fish. Wading while dry fly fishing is an important part of the experience and memory. Also working upstream is better for having a chance at the big ones. Iguana

You’re living mine and all these other outdoors men dream for 2 months😭😩💯

Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm hooked. You are absolutely right about Tenkara rods. With their length they are impossible to fish small streams without getting hung up. Moving on to a 7.5 3wt fly rod. Thx

I’m noticing a fish flash in the water whenever you hook up. Always seem to have these creeks and streams to yourself except for an occasional Bear but never any deer or elk 😁

REALLY surprised that stream isn't full of cutthroats - but I'd take browns like that any day!

If you took a drone with you to do a birdseye view it would help you I bet. Great vid Drew.

Beautiful fish .... Do you have something special you stand on when you take a shower?? Beautiful fish again!

Drew, please target cutthroat as you are in regions that have that native trout.

Hey Drew a friend gave me a link to your videos because his said this dude does the same thing you do except I don’t video. You make videoing look pretty easy and might try it. I mainly concentrate my adventures in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Maybe we will cross paths someday in wilds if this Great

Otherwise, what do you wear? In Wisconsin, the spring creeks are somewhat numingly cold in the heat of summer. Your videos are 1st class

Amazing videos and amazing skill!! Have you ever considered a Tenkara rod for those small streams? Thanks again for the videos.

Hi Drew, These videos of yours have rekindled my desire to head back to Colorado during our hot summers. Listening to the sounds of hiking and the water is so much more enjoyable than the constant commentary and canned music that you hear on so many other fishing videos. I feel I'm almost there. Keep up the good work. I have been looking a lot more at National Forest Service Dispersive camping maps and had a question. When a forest road map shows it is open to dispersive camping (i.e. dots on the sides of the road) can you pull off anywhere that you feel like setting up a camp as long as your not blocking the road or do you have to look for specific areas with fire rings and such?

B4 watching your videos I knew zero about fly fishing, now I want to start doing it. Your simple life approach living for experiences rather than possessions is inspiring. I also love the additional scenes of the camping, cooking, and you just opening up. It makes it seem like I am taking the trip with you as a partner. your videos are a great escape from the rat race and are peaceful.

Man you hit a pot of gold with that stream. Beautiful brown's and country. Do you happen to have a hand cannon close by just in case? Bear spray dosen't always cut it. Dinner looks great, compliments to the chef. Until next time. Stay safe. 👍👍👍

Those fish were amazing for that size creek! I could see one or maybe 2 like that, but you were getting a lot of fantastic browns - what an awesome find! BTW, are the solar panels the Boulder Briefcase brand? Do you like them?

"Almost as good as Spam!" I'm curious if you have a GPS-type trail tracking system you use so you don't get lost. Great sense of direction. And the fishing is always fantastic.

Are there cattle up that high? I know you don't drink that creek water straight but me I'd worry about giardia from showering. Sometimes I open my mouth a little. Had it before it's nt fun. Man I'd love to find a creek like that I'm a newbie I'd be lucky to catch one though!!

And another fabulous video, what a very cool stream!! So fun! May I ask what your fishing pack is you wear?

Love your videos, what do you do for a living that allows you so much time in these beautiful places?

Pretty little stream. I love cooking in the outdoors. Everything seems to taste better. Are you still in Colorado?

Love the series. Any reason why you didn't try the little stream by camp, or fish it down to the other? Tight cover I imagine.

Are you packing a side arm for protection

Livin' the dream, Dude. Just wondering... You fish a lot of small water...which I really like, myself...but you use 4x tippet. I would think that the lightest presentation possible with maybe a 6x or 7x would be the recommendation, but you hammer with the 4x. Your thoughts or motivation for that??? Thanks!

Nice vid as usual. Do you ever eat trout?

Looks like a great trip so far. You headed up to Wyoming at all?

I just found your channel. This puts me back to childhood, had a lot of fun with similar fishing here in a different part of the world . But nowadays the best small rivers are destroyed because it is all about maximizing the profit of selling electricity. You csn still find that kind of rivers, but would have to do a lot of searching, or go to a little bigger river with more commercialized fishing. Just wondered, do you ever eat some of the fish you catch? That is some healthy, nice tasting food. how do you rig the equipment? Do you tie the marker/floater, or what it is called, about 20 inches from a wetfly or dryfly?

Send some of that 36 degree weather to west-central Arkansas!!...have a good trip bud!!

So are you site fishing to those fish, or are you just fishing to holding spots. I can see them take the fly in the video, but want to know what you can see. Great video!

Drew: what do you use for waders or you always wet wading?

whats the name of the canopy your using off the back of ur truck ? thanks

Would you mind showing the fly tying kit you take with you on these trips? Thanks!

A lot of dead pines in the area.😫

SPAM!

I ran by GOSS in Benton and was told it would be 6 months before my shell arrives. No matter. I'm bound for the Little Red. How large is that tarp?

Ha!! 8’ of line out and get hung up 30’ in a tree. Ain’t that the truth!!

Was this filmed in August? Is it really that cold there in Aug?

what size/weight/which rod are you using for that size creek?

Man there is a lot of standing fuel around you. The pine bark beetle has done a number on the west. What do you do with you dish washing water? Gross question: what do you do with your human waste? Cat hole, pack it out?

What length rod were you using?

Does no one wear small bells on their vest or boots to let the bear know you’re in the neighborhood? We do in the smoky mt and it works with black bears. Never tried it with grizzlies.

No Beaver Dams ?

No Rainbows the whole trip?

Please do not tell us where this is. Thank you!

YOU SHOULD ONLY CATCH A FISH . IF YOU EAT IT
