Thanks

Thanks! I don't like fishing alone in Grizzly Bear country. When I’m fishing I get so focused I don’t notice things around me. A woman took a picture of my brother and me fly fishing with a moose in between us. We never even saw it. I wish we had asked for a copy…..

@@RemoteFlyFishing Understandable... We saw a sow with cubs on the upper snake and heart river confluence 10 or so miles into the backcountry one trip. Cool, but unsettling.

Thanks, National Parks do not allow the flying of drones for obvious reasons.

It's where the big brown trout go to spawn in the fall. I'm not sure if they spawn up by the waterfall where I was heading, but I've seen the spawning areas, or "reds" left over from the prior year where the Gibbon meets up with the Firehole river.

Thanks for the kind words. I am going back a week earlier this June and plan to fish and film other sections I didn't get a chance to do this past year!

It was productive, but unfortunately I lost battery power after figuring out that they were hitting my sparkle spent. I carry a ton of batteries with me now, and at least two cameras.

Thanks for the advice. I agree, those methods do work. I just wasn't using them as the river was full of "downed trees" and I don't tend to waste time showing how many times I hooked into snags and lost flies. I now have a better camera, and carry more batteries, plus the memory has increased, which allows me to just turn on my older GoPro and let it run. I ended up fishing this little sparkle "spent" and walked back downstream in the middle of the river getting bites on almost every cast, landing a number of trout. Cursing to myself that I wasted batteries on a lot of video that just ended up on the cutting floor on my way up river. I do like fishing a little dropper and this past June returned to fish this river with a Euro-Nymphing rod and rig, but then the flooding required us to evacuate. A few days later, on Idaho’s Warm River, I broke out the Euro-Nymphing rod and rig and nailed white fish and rainbows. And, while not yet posted, I fished the Euro setup with a dry fly and small bedhead on Henry’s Fork and caught a nice wild rainbow - but only in an area where I suspected smaller bows were as the big trout on this river would have destroyed my three weight Euro rod.

Thank you!

Have fun!

Excellent taper on Dickerson rods! I had the chance to cast one, sweet.

Glad you liked it!

Oh - It was held up in this category for "review". Thanks for the advice. I do occasionally fish with a dropper as well as fish with two nymph rigs. I just published my 4th video in this journey as I left the Yellowstone area (day trip) to fish the Madison below Hebgen Dam - and while not successful with the dropper rig, the two nymph rig with a weighted stone fly and then a small bead head 3 Dollar Dip got me into some large rainbows. Yes fall fishing streamers is very effective when the browns are spawning - and you can see the reds in the Madison right at the junction of the firehole and gibbon. I will be back at Yellowstone a week earlier in June 2022 and hopefully the Firehole will be fishing a lot cooler ......

Good question....I think it's just preference. The other day I was casting with some of my older reels and I was surprised to see that they were all left hand retrieve. So at some point I switched ...

I will be camping and fishing with my daughter in Yellowstone starting June 12th thru the 17th - a few days earlier than last year, in case the temperature warms up early, again on the Firehole. If it does - I will head over to the Madison. I then plan to fish 4 or 5 days on Henry's Fork and after that maybe head out to Silver Spring.

@@RemoteFlyFishing Thank you so much, and good luck. I can’t wait for next your video. I really like your style of fishing and camping. You exactly showed me how beautiful is Yellowstone. Thank you so much

Trout on the Firehole are heavily fished. I don't show it in my video but I even tried fishing on my knees to lower my profile for one fish - no chance I was going to catch that fish. No so much the Gibbon once you move upstream from the picnic tables. The challenge was the size hook as the trout were small. Once I figured that out (and after my camera battery died) I caught several walking back in the middle of the stream. The real Phd fish are the ones in Idaho on Henry's fork in the railroad ranch section. I got skunked, but I am going back this June and tying flies I believe will win the day (night) vs the store bought ones that everyone uses!

You have good eyes! I fished with a Payne 204L rod on the Firehole and Gibbon. In my next video I'll fish an Jenkins 8035 as I target larger fish.

@@RemoteFlyFishing gonna subscribe I like your style

Thank you. I started these fishing journeys a few years back for a friend and author of a book restoring old bamboo rods, who could no longer get out and fish. He liked the videos as he felt he was fishing with me. He passed away two years ago and it was a while before I made another. But people liked them, so I started back up. If you watch any of the original videos you might notice a diiference in the style from "a walk with an old friend" to now walking and sharing the experience with everyone.

@@RemoteFlyFishing very beautiful. Keep fishing.

Good question - You need a special "Yellowstone National Park" license. They sell them online, as well as thru the flyshops near the entrances and throughout the park.

You are correct. I love the feel of bamboo, the action and the softer tips. But I have to say I ran into people fishing the Madison who were also fishing bamboo. And then later when I fished the Harriman Ranch section of Henry's Fork I stumbled right into the middle of a large west coast, bamboo rod gathering that had rented out the Ranch conference room facilities for a few days. So they are out there!

Thanks for the tips!

@@RemoteFlyFishing Thanks for the videos!!!!!!
