I’m 79 now. Never made it to the Bob. It was on my bucket list. I hiked and fly fished the Mission Mts. Which is a stones throw away. Thanks for sharing the video.

Wow to be young and fly fish Montana again. I gave up fly fishing years ago when I developed balance problems. I used to live in Montana. Two of my favorite places were some beaver ponds west of Flat Head Lake and the Mission Mountains. Never ever ran into other hikers. Where are you fishing? Beautiful scenery and fish. I really miss it. Your video takes me back to the most wonderful times of my life. Thank you.

And I wonder why there’s more pressure! Stop telling people where you go, if you want to show what you do. Build it or show it and they will come, and mostly the wrong types!
@jimtruscott5670Ай бұрын
Generally speaking this is a nice video. However I’m struck by the fact that almost all the fish caught are not just small but very small. That is totally contrary to my experience fishing the Madison more than 100 times from 1991 until 2011.

Its all about the memories!! I grew up in Montana and learned to fly fish out on Rock Creek. My dad, brother and I had so many great days on the water there and other waters in Western Montana. It's very hard for me to see how much pressure the waters in Montana have gotten over the past 30+ years, but it was in-evadible. My son got fly fish with his grandpa in 2014, it was the last fly fishing trip that my dad got to take. I love watching your videos and love the stories. We are going back home this summer my brother, son and I for 6 days of fly fishing in Yellowstone and western Montana. Keep up the great content and keep telling the stories and making the memories!!! Tight lines!

I've been a Fishpond fan for years and after fishing yesterday for a long time with my waist pack, I left the outing thinking about switching because I'm feeling dragged down by that system. It is great too but at 5' 3" I'm holding it up to wand to a spot at times. Your video has completely helped me get a better idea of it's proc/cons and I'll probably purchase one. I like that if I decide to to a long haul, I can get the compatible backpack you mentioned. I saw these at a fly shop today and checking reviews now. THANK YOU for sharing - appreciate ya!

It takes a lot of guts backpacking in grizzly country, especially by yourself. You can really learn a lot from the comments, but in my opinion you did good. I do a lot of solo backpacking in Colorado, we may not have the grizz as we know, but tooth and claw exist. If a camp fire is permitted, they’re nice to have as a companion, there is something about a campfire that makes you feel a little more comfortable when being alone. As more time passes through the country your ability to figure things out starts to line up. Anticipating the inevitable can help when in the outdoors, we can prepare all we want but it’s our experience that can set us up for the next thing. Great fish!!

My stepdaughter and I stayed at the slide inn. We fished right there pl us 3 dollar bridge, lyons, and at ennis. Buggers during the day and cadis in the evening. This was in July 2003 with lots of 16 to 20 inch fish. God I wish Becky was still alive to go back with me again, but she will still be there in my heart!

This is great information...but I'm surprised you didn't include the materials for those flies anywhere in the video or the blog post. For the nymph....what material are you using for that dorsal stripe? Does the abdomen have a rib? Have you bent that hook upwards or do you buy them like that? What's your preferred material for that collar hackle? Are you fishing it weighted or is that a glass bead (since it's a dry-dropper)?
