Join us for episode 6 of For Wild's Sake: The Rare Trout Chronicles, season 1! A series which explores human beings relationship to the natural world, in hopes of gaining a better understanding of how and why we assign value to wild things and places. In a quest to illustrate rare and threatened species of wild native trout in watercolor, artist Chase Bartee and wife Aimee set off on a multi year, cross country adventure of discovery.
After killing several weeks in NM, we returned to Eastern Arizona in search of its fabled and threatened native trout, the Apache Trout (Onchorynchus apache). But finding them would continue to prove challenging, let alone catching them with a fly rod. Despite persisting in the White Mountains for nearly a million years, Apache trout have been on the brink of extinction since the settlement of the American West. Introductions of non native trout, as well as unchecked livestock grazing and agricultural diversions have proven more than these unique fish can handle. Thankfully, nearly 80 years ago the White Mountain Apache Tribe were quick to act, and have managed to protect the trout for now, but they still face myriad threats. We learn about them all as we navigate the ashes of recent megafires in search of the few remaining wild and native Apache Trout.

Hi Chase and Aimee. I just recently found your Tight Loops channel on YT and was instantly mesmerized by the quality of your storytelling content and filmmaking skills. 60 seconds into “Big Land” I hit the subscribe button. I binged and watched EVERY video you two made from beginning to end over the next 3 days I had off from work on a 4K TV. Your storytelling, color grading, narration, and b-roll is simply superb. “Trapped” and “Arizona” and “Flow North” , I could go on and on. Superb stories and video. Sincere congratulations on getting commercial gigs that pay the bills. I do however feel we will all miss the “Notes From the Road” series. Maybe a 5-10 minute video once a month. We don’t and shouldn’t expect a 47 minute masterpiece, LOL I understand all too well of how busy one can get on client gigs. And finally, Tight Loops is my very favorite channel on YT. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing your next adventures. As everyone else has commented on all your videos, yes, THE best flyfishing and travel adventure video series on KZfaq.....period!

I enjoy watching all your journeys traversing across the American southwest, exhibiting it's raw austere beauty. I've always adhered my curiosity to a silly phrase when hiking around the backcountry wilderness; " where there's nothing, you always find something and this is where lost became found". It's a magical experience to touch these delicate riparian meadows in pursuit to rediscover these amazing trout habitats. You both are a talented team and dynamic duo. Thank you very much and wishing you the very best of success in your adventurous journeys!

I was fishing a large creek behind Hawley Lake AZ one day and seen a boulder the size of a mini Cooper came crashing down near a pool of the creek. I went to check because my curiosity always gets the best of me and counted so many dead and shocked trout all around the pool. It was sad. Went back last week and it was no good. It's crazy how something as that made a huge impact.

If you ask the trout and measure the summer base flow of these mountain streams, people may be surprised to learn the burned over forest is better than a dense unnaturally overstocked forest we saw in the last video. There is a lot of forest ecology, fire ecology , snow and ground water ecology that plays into this.

What’s a hipster? But either way, I think you’re misunderstanding. It’s not about the off-roading being tough, it’s about the anxiety of doing ANY kind of off roading in a 40 year old, overloaded van with a stock 1.9 4 cylinder wasserboxer with questionable CV’s and suspension. Especially when you’ve personally replaced every component on the thing at one time or another, and can quite accurately imagine what it would be like to do on the side of shitty dirt road with no cell phone service. Been there, and done it a thousand times. Every bad road is essentially a coin flip.
