@@allengray5748 thank you my man!

@Kalenechenko unfortunately this isn't a location that I'm willing to give out online. I'm happy to name well-known fisheries like the Deschutes. But a spot like this doesn't see very many anglers in a year and probably can't handle very high pressure. That said, in the Cascades, there are hundreds if not thousands of lakes. The Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area alone boasts over 600. I find lakes by purchasing a map/maps of an area I'm interested in, and looking for them. Best method I know of. Not many folks out there will be willing to share the names of good fishing mountain lakes they know. But so much of the fun of alpine fishing is in the hiking, exploration, and discovery of something unknown that feels like it's all your own. I highly encourage you to start finding some of these places. If you have a general region of Washington you're interested in I might be able to point you in some directions?

@@josiejodosiedoe thank you! This would be a perfect place for us/friends to do some backpacking!

@@huckleberrysfriend thank you!

@@kenmorecounseling I think so too

@kerryguidry9457 yeah there are good arguments for killing them. But the way I see it, they are a native fish with just as much right to be there as any other. And more important to my decision making than that, when I've killed them in the past I've felt bad about it, so I don't kill them anymore.

@@josiejodosiedoe I will! And I already have several others out!

@@ericalbertson1092 thank you very much, it means a lot!

@minnerisland0889 yeah! I raced 4A! Swam at Inglemoor high school if you know it? Held a state record in the 200 Medley Relay for a couple years! (I got carried). Lol I apologize for the bragging moment. Anyway, good for you, swimming is so hard! And maybe it'll make you better at fly fishing!

@@Fisher_Munro that’s awesome hopefully I get carried too 😂 I have already had to go swimming to do some fishing lol. I have raced 4a state once with west valley in the 500 so hopefully I can make it again and I’m hoping to break the school record for Selah in the 500 🤘

@@minnerisland0889 good luck to you!

@@Fisher_Munro thank you and tight lines 👍

@@Season1Ep3 oops! That's what I meant to write! Redside

@@Fisher_Munro oh no worries brother wasn't sure I'm sure either would work🫡👊🏼

@@alderfelley8787 I actually didn't say that. Matt made it up. But I'm fine with that assessment!

@@hollygauger7109 I appreciate it!

@@AidenElliott-z3x thank you my man!

@alderfelley8787 me too! Probably my favorite rafting river in the state!

@@YeshuBenPandera yes indeed! I assume you've been?

@@josiejodosiedoe awww you're the best! I am grateful for the support!

@song4993 my apologies but I don't usually give out the names of rivers I'm on. Good luck finding some water though! And say hi if you ever see me out there!

Good question! Are you a salmon fisherman yourself? I think I do find myself drawn to trout most. And sometimes I wonder why. In part it's cause trout is what I grew up on. Nobody ever took me salmon fishing. I didn't have a way to go. But I could bike to the local creeks and catch trout. I also find trout fishing to be more engaging than salmon fishing. It demands very fine gradations of reading water. And I love reading water. Not that salmon fishing doesn't but it's on a different scale. Trout fishing is also more engaging cause you catch more fish. Trout are easier. Keeps it fun. And you cover so much water. I really enjoy seeing a lot of water and adventuring over the terrain. Salmon fishing is much slower. My favorite fish are probably summer steelhead cause they split the difference. They eat more aggressively, like trout, but they are still big. I dunno, I do love trout though.

@fightthefishpnw5455 thank you very much! I fell behind on editing cause I was so busy this summer. But I have tons of content filmed. And I am currently bed ridden due to a surgery, so it's editing time!

@@Fisher_Munro sorry to hear you are stuck in bed. But happy you got the surgery. Hope you heal fast So you can get out on the water.

@fightthefishpnw5455 thank you so much. I really appreciate all the support, I can certainly use it right now!

@@UnderwaterFishFilms thank you! Oregon indeed has a lot to offer!

@dsddavesmith yep, just pulled a hook. I fish heavy gear, it's extremely unusual for me to break a fish off

@@Fisher_Munro Good man ! It was a great encounter

@@ericalbertson1092 wow! Thank you so much!

@@flyfishingwithphil7676 thank you! I'll have some videos later this summer with some much bigger fish out of this river!

@@prolificnorthwest thank you! It is a ball!

@prolificnorthwest thank you! I haven't fished them again sense, but I do plan to. I've been doing lots of new stuff though!

@@prolificnorthwest any chance you know how to carp?

@@Fisher_Munro that’s awesome! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!

Kinda sorta. I used to fish for them from a raft at Smith & Bybee like 20 years ago. It was fun, they would take a dry fly. It’s been a bit though.

@@flyfishingwithphil7676 I hear it works! I assume you find em!

@@Fisher_Munro Yes they are usually pretty small, but occasionally I catch some good ones. I see carp around too but have not tried to catch them.

@flyfishingwithphil7676 that is good to know! I plan to do more of this but I've been rafting so much I haven't had time. Some epic rafting videos to come though!

@lheftw1376 shoot me an email at fisherflyfishing1@gmail.com and that will be the best way to continue a conversation! I appreciate the interest!

@@Fisher_Munro sounds great, I’ll reach out to you pretty soon once I get back into town and know exactly what I’d like and discuss what materials you may or may not have. Thanks man, be in touch via email! Thanks man

@@lheftw1376 looking forward to it!

@@flyfishingwithphil7676 indeed! But I've refined the trip to make it a little easier since then. This was run 1

@@nickcollard2609 and that's a fact

@@OregonFishingAdventures yeah it's really fun! But I wouldn't take people on a fishing trip, in this boat, at such a level.

@@brteps that's just fun is what you meant

@@Fisher_Munroanything for a 15” trout i guess 😂

@jbreezyfishing Spey fishing the Deschutes is iconic! I actually do think it's pretty effective there. It's definitely less effective for trout than nymphing or even dry flies during a hatch. But for steelhead, it's one of relatively few places where spey casting is probably comparably effective to nymphing (i.e. really good). I think nymphing you're going to catch a higher percentage of the steelhead you get your flies in front of. But it's such a big river, that spey casting probably gets your flies in front of more fish. Plus Deschutes Steelhead tend to be aggressive. You don't need a perfect presentation like you might for winter steelhead. So yeah, I do think it works well! That said, I still think I catch more fish nymphing than swinging, and I find nymphing more engaging so that's mostly what I do.

And that's a fact! And wet suits are so much more durable than waders!

Lol I'll try to be mindful but that's just how I talk day to day

Thank you! Yeah it's a work in progress. But I've been going less than a year and it gets better all the time!
