That's not even HALF of the giggest trout in Iceland. Your claim is a straight black lie...

Well there is no such thing as budget fishing in Iceland. The prices are ridiculous. It is for millionaires… Was fortunate to fish Kaldakvisl and Tungnaá for free some years ago, now they cost 1000-2000 dollars per day😂 with a guide….

How much was the cost for the fishing portion? Not including airfare?

Brilliant fish well done

Those bright red jackets won't help with brown trout.

No sound on the fishing

I will be there in September. What weight rods should I bring? Flies? TIA

Man with the fog lifting off in the mid morning, that would be perfect. I love fishing the Oak orchard and surrounding tribs for salmon and browns in the fall, and that takes me back to it.

4 years ago Diesel $2.28. Ah the memories.

awesome fish

Better out there than being with the wife 😂 does anybody else remember that Bass pro shop ad would pop up and show the guy fishing in the girl complaining and the guy presses a button and she goes flying the good old days

I didn’t see that end coming

Personally I've had Roosies chuckling at me almost 80% of the time, verses anything else.

Man what a magnificent Rainbow 🎣

What a great guide you found. They are priceless really when they are reasonable and competent, which the vast majority are. Worth EVERY penny. Great Brown to open with.

I don’t know how experienced you are with trout fishing, but that looks trouty as hell. Classic western spring creek.

Florocarbon sinks so don't use it for dry flies.

If sitting in a tree stand is boring, you are in the wrong sport. Patience and the love of being outdoors is what hunting and fishing is all about.

This isn't necessarily true. It depends on terrain. I was less than 20 yds from 2 bulls for over an hour in thick reprod this year. Just trying to get the closer one to pop through into an opening. I also called in a bull my buddy stuck at 4 yds. You can definitely get closer calling however it works way better with a shooter and a caller.

Tree standing for my entire life. But with a rifle. Going to do bow in 25. Started sitting when I was probably 12 and the last 10 seasons = 8 elk. It's certainly a mental game. When it's 15 degrees, you need mental strength! Not one of my friends can sit for 2 hours, so they don't even try and do what I do. And they don't put in the work pre- season. I'm usually done on day 1 or 2. You'll get good at picking your spot, and it may take a couple years of being in that specific area before you know where they'll be during daylight. Also the reason I'm 8 for 10 is location. It starts with a lot of ground work in the off season. Find out where they'll be during the season, which timber patch, which ravine etc. Set up the stand up-hill from them and down stream. The type of stand matter too!

Man you're so lucky

What part of Montana was that in?

A good book helps a bunch. Sitting in a stand someone else has scouted and set up gives me less confidence than if I put in the work to locate the site. It's all about location

I’m 12 now

I no how to and I was 11

We chase bugles in the morning and sit ground blinds in the evenings. Blinds are boring but very effective!

What was in the bottle he dipped the hopper in?

Great footage and beautiful waters.

Good point brother consistency is key

You’re wrong maybe in that river but not the ones I fish.I fished the whole year last year and didn’t lose one hopper.I catch much bigger fish than you or your guides.I wouldn’t pay a guide a dime.

I love to fish hopper patterns in summer

Good content... but.... At 600-700 $ per day for a guide, I wouldn't call this "Budget" advice. Also please Don't hotspot Montana. Talk all you want about fishing, but not locations. That's just TH-cam common courtesy. Since Covid, Our waters are crowded beyond belief. Especially for all of us local, non guided fisherman.

They both have their benefits.

Last I heard, a PNW guided trip is about 350 per head these days. For myself and a buddy thats hard to justify as a that is the same cost as 6-8 trips on our own. I grew up fishing the lower combia tribs on a regular baisis so river fishiing has become a core part of who I am. I jokingly tell people I have water on the brain. I read rivers like most people read a book, immersing myself in the story they have to tell. At 34 years old, I now find myself raising a family on the east side of Washington, yearning for those moss filled riverbanks during our schorching summers but take advantage of the upriver runs of sockeye, chinook and steelhead when I can. If someone just wants a photo to impress thier friends with, by all means book a guide and get it over with. If you really want to learn how to fish you just need to spend more time fishing though. My advice to newcomers to this lifestyle would be to get off social media and stop buying those $300 rods and $500 waders(they break and leak just as well as the cheap ones). Save the money up for a raft or better yet an aluminum drift boat. They are still only a few thousand dollars for used ones these days and virtually no maintance. Cutting your teeth as an oarsman will not only open up vastly more fishable water but will force you to litterally feel the river as its currents push on the boat, inherently teaching you to read water. Fish the same river throughout the seasons for at least a few years and you will become familiar with the different flow rates and migration patterns of residing fish. Do it as long as I have and you will see the river itself age like the wrinkles on your face.

Come on out to Riggins, idaho. We'll show you a good time, and our guides wont hate you! ;)

Love it- I want to see more patterns in your box. What are they raspberry head chartreuse streamers, top right of the box at 239 in the video. Love the content

Good information, but I’m sorry to see you supporting Patagonia.

A picture of the set up would be helpful.

Why not put the bead on the hook?

Beadheads don't always outfish flies without beadheads. I fish a ton of places where you can fish a beadhead all day and you are never going to get a take. In very clear water that is slow moving or still beadheads chase fish away even in matching or natural colors. You make a lot of generalizations that just don't fly.

this coming from a guy who handles fish with gloves on

thank you sir. k

To each their own. I like non weighted nymphs for some applications and I love winged wet flies fished behind something weighted.

Yup, unless you're on really technical heavily fished waters size is always the most important factor. When not getting takes change size first, color, then fly type.

A lot of great information, thank you.
