- In part 1 of the 2022 road trip, I'm truck camping and fly fishing this amazing stream in Wyoming. It's the first night of the trip and I've only got a few hours to fish but the brown trout were very cooperative! It was a fantastic start to what will be a 9 week road trip thru WY, ID and MT.

Just completed a 40 day camping/fly fishing trip (CO, WY and Utah) inspired by your videos.👍
Right on...nothing like those extended trips!
@@LooknFishy 40 day camping/fly fishing trip? I’m sitting here on my ass wishing I could do that. I can if I knew how to go about it. I have more time than money but your trip must have been awesome. I like to go alone. I don’t want other people who’s opinion I have to consider. 40 days camping/fly fishing is damn cool. Wish you would tell us more about it.
@@marshallsage6816 i plan on taking a month and a half fishing trip up to Montana this coming summer alone as well, I would definitely recommend finding areas/towns to fish near and get food and buy gear that might break on you, as well as cooler set up + solar setup, unless you want to be eating dry goods/premade stuff your entire trip or buying ice every couple days and spending a ton of time driving back and forth from spot to town, these types of trips require a lot of time to plan and details to do trail and error on
Drew inspires us all!
40 days!gawd damn
Love these vids, Drew, allows me to vicariously re-live great times fishing out West both as a youth and a older guy. Never gets old and keeps a guy young. Love seeing the Pronghorns antelope! And those casts when a fish takes just after the fly lands sure are special. One I'll never forget was here in Iceland and the fly hadn't even landed before the brown took it! Glad you keep most of the names of these places quiet. All it takes is a name-dropper and things get crowded with water-frothers and inner tubers and then it's all she wrote. A bit of 4x4 driving and hiking and you're in paradise away from the crowds and that's what it's all about!
A most beautiful place…that solitude…those gorgeous browns…pure bliss, man!
Super glad to have your videos back. Thanks for sharing
Nice to have you back Drew, lovely stream with some fantastic aggressive Brownies
Incredible. I’m glad to see an abundance of trout in the stream, river. And the water is beautiful and crystal clear 💦
So glad you’re back with full videos. What a great stream!
9 weeks worth of video to share now!
Drew great to see you back on the water and posting content!!! Keep em coming bro and stay safe out there!!!
Drew so glad your full videos are back. What a great stream you found. Keep up the great work
Your the Best, Love every vid you make. Thank you.
water as clear as air and every fish was solid. glad to see you back drew. thanks.
Thank u man, got a ton of footage so hopefully no more drop offs!
The wait is finally over! So excited for this series.
Hope it's as good as I think it will be!
I lived in Wyoming for 16 years and the small streams always provided tons of memories.
oh yeah, back to full length! looking forward to this trip and thanks for continuing to share these with us!
Happy to do it! Thanks for watching!
Nice to see those tight lines and screaming reels...keep ‘em coming! Love your videos.
My brother moved to Kernville California in 71, so all through high-school I would spend my summer working and Trout fishing. The river was a block from the house. I ended up moving up there in the late 70's and fished my life away. The river is totally different then the streams you are fishing in, but now I am 67 and wish I was living your life, beautiful country and great fishing, thanks for taking us along.
Great memories!
Thrilled to see you back! Seems like ages since you were last posting other than the short clips, so we knew you were out there. Keep up the great work👍
Loved the video. Just beautiful and the fish were spectacular.
Thanks Drew for the inspiration. Got back from a 60 day ‘sleep in the back of the truck’ road trip fly fishing. ID, WY, CO, CA. Thanks
Absolutely awesome. Nice work.
Wyoming is amazing! Beautiful fish!
Definitely one of my favorite states!
Very blessed,beautiful fish.
I just found your 2021 trip a couple weeks back. Now we’ve got another road trip! Thank you for sharing.
Haha...there's a bunch from both trips!
So glad you were able to experience this; used to fish this area 20 years ago when I lived in Denver. Next time you’re in Idaho, come see us at our place, the Sourdough Lodge in Lowman. Great videos as always, many of us are living vicariously through you. Tight Lines and Rods Up.
Happy to see a new video! Great one.
Hey Drew! Great to see your full length videos again. And just in time too, as the inland Trout season ends this week here in Wisconsin. Wyoming looks incredible. Love that crystal clear meadow stream. Good luck and looking forward to your videos this fall/winter. Thanks!
Yes, I almost drive to WI to close out the season but decided I should come home and see my family!
Great day back at it!!! Beautiful fish!!!
🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾🍻
Crazy fun!
Just Great!!!
Wow nice stream and some great action...They fight well...Have a blast.
Man those browns fought hard!! Amazing!
Haven't left a comment on one in a while, but had to say this one was awesome. Angry browns on hoppers in a stream this size exactly are some of the most fun fish in the world. The lighting was perfect as well.
They started my trip off strong...crazy fun!
Man, that stream with that backdrop looks like paradise! And it looks like the fish sure are biting too. Fun video.
Wow such a beautiful location. That 2nd fish banged that fly as it touched the water. No delay.
Beautiful scenery also. Nice fish.
I truly believe, if more people would go fishing by themselves, the world would be a better place.
I believe that also!
Spent three days this week up in Island Park, two days of which were spent fishing. Hopper-dropper ruled day three; the trout were keying in on the dropper. What better way to clear ones mind and rejuvenate the soul. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Glad to see Famous Net back in action...I missed him!!
Cool stream, great session!
Boy howdy I'm glad you're back. Been missing your content. Glad you made home safe to your family. Looking forward to this series.
Thank u. Definitely glad to be home. Trip was fantastic!
Your videos are the best Thanks
Was in central Wyoming earlier this summer. Great fishing and spectacular country. The browns were good but it was the Bows that were crushing out of nowhere!!!
They got everything there, such a cool state!
Awe, awesome video.
Realy nice trout ! Like great action !
Beautiful stream…awesome brownies. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the rest of your trip. M2
Thank u. A new video every Thursday!
Looked like a lot of fun...nice video
Definitely was!
Absolutely beautiful bro. Great spot, great video.
such a great video thanks!
Much appreciated!
Fantastic fishing mister!
Beautiful fish.
Nice, been waiting for you next west trip. Good video.
Nice job,those are some sweet fish
Was such a good way to start a road trip!
Good to see you back! I have yet to Fly Fish in Wyoming, it’s on the list and I could see why!
Thank u man! Definitely worth the drive!
Well done.
That spot looks dreamy. Awesome fish brotha! 🤙🏽
That's what I would call a good day's fishing :--)
Enjoyed the video drew 👌, nice brown's and beautiful country. You should have two filters, one packed with your supplies, just in case something happens with the other. Oops 😬 I guess that did happen, oh well, happens to the best of us. Tight lines. 👍
Haha...stuff happens. Crazy thing is I have 4 or 5 but only packed 2 bc I was trying to pack light. Now I've added one more to my filtration gear lol!
Dude, I LOVE your vids!!! I took a motorcyle tour thru Wyo in Sept of 2020....I remember crossing the Platte in areas and the Wind River area... beautiful country. I wanna do it again and fish next time!!
What a take! at 3:40 and 5:50 - great stuff!!
What a great looking trout stream. I might have fished that one before. Looks very familiar.
Area looks great! Heading that way next year
I am glad to see you back in the saddle. Those 13 sec. videos were great, but…..come on. Great video.
Hoppers got big of wyo/co border this year. About 28years ago I guided in the Bighorns in wyo. Miss fishing alone. We’d walk in before dusk and crush deep cutts. Was so awesome, didn’t realize till later how great that job was. Never did it again, as a job. Volunteered teaching casting and tying to vets. Sweet stream.
I should clarify my comment. In the Bighorns in the late 90’s , I guided primarily horseback trips. I love Co/wyo. Probably going to get hammered with comments. All I meant was at least in the mid 90’s it was a gem that I’m glad I got to show some good people a few toad cutts. Before the ?. Go Wyo. !!!
I love the quiet footage, just the sounds of the stream and stripping, well done.
dang i want to fish this stream its absolutely gorgeous!
It’s great to have you back. Looks like it’s gonna be quite a ride. 👍
Yes sir, I'm excited about this series!
Good stuff. I subscribed.
I’m so jealous right now
Yes! You are back!!
For sure!
Looks like a new rig
Wyoming. Brown trout. Solitude.
(heavy sigh)
Bam full length episodes are back!!!
Wyoming evening light , it’s something, dropped 30 on the blood pressure, awesome!
Just like that lol! Good to be home!
I quit the dry droppers lately. Almost always choosing for the (double) nymph because most of the times it catch better.
I did the same near the end of my trip! Nymphing became more effective as the weather changed!
I prefer the streams where the fish are really active on terrestrials. Spent some time up high in Colorado and it was a lot more about the hatch. Hit the hatch and any fool could catch fish. But in Northern Idaho, it's more steady, all day long, and not just during the hatches. In Idaho, it'd be insufferably hot almost everywhere, but you get up close to Lolo Pass, with your feet in snow-melt water, and your only worry is sunburn.
Love the videos. I don't normally use the dry/dropper set up; mostly swing softies. Any way for a very brief run down or video or description of your flies and set up? ie using a elk hair caddis and a perdigon about 16" away for water that looks like it's 2 feet deep. Something like that? Just trying to learn
Fish handling on this video is just fine.
I’m so glad I found your channel! I envy the fact you were able to take a 9 week camping/fishing trip. How were you able to take the time off from work? Were you between jobs? Are you self employed?
Envious!
Loved the video. I have the rod and reel rig from Orvis. Where in Wyoming were you fishing? All browns seemed of decent 16-18 inches. Overall great video.
Another inspiring & beautiful video. I’m hoping to be out west doing exactly what you are in less than a year when I retire. If you don’t mind me asking, what do you do for a living?
You should sell your trip guides. People will def pay for them!
Love it, I’ve watched every one of your videos. Is that your designed hopper. I used it and caught me a lot of fish so thank you
Thank u. Yup, the single foam top shelf hopper. I talk about it more in the next vid
Drew, I usually fish these streams across and down but I see in this video you are fishing straight up stream and drifting back to you? So your line doesn’t spook the fish when it passes over them? Is there some type of stream condition that this is more effective?
Another awesome location. Wyoming is such a fantastic state ! When was this video shot?
I am curious when you started your 9 week trip West? June? July?
Another awesome video! You inspire many to get out and do this ! Thanks! One question I have is what kind of boots do you like for shallow creek water fishing?
Orvis ultralight wading boot, he had a video on them, I checked them out, bought them, they are great. 198.00
@@1Troutguy thanks for the info! I’ll check them out
What time of year was your 9 week trip? Nice browns on the hoppers. Really enjoy your adventures
Got home 2 days ago!
Were you running a dropper or straight hopper?
I watch your videos, but could you describe how you found these streams and rivers? The process, or what grabs you from the maps.
Man that is Bad Azz
That's some sweet water your fishing. Are you sight fishing or just shot-gunning your way upstream?
Never been to Wyoming. Wondering generally what areas in Wyoming has this type of terrain? North, West, South etc.? I'm getting too old to hike the Mountains. lol
Hi Drew. I have been following your Thursday video postings from your big trip last summer. Just curious where I might find the Montana portion of the trip? The last episode I saw was Part 29….when looking at the saved videos, there appear to be some private ones which I cannot pull up (obviously as they are private.) Have enjoyed so juch of this trip, I was just hoping to finish it out with you. Thanks, M2
I've only shared thru pt 29. The private (I guess that's how those show) must be the rest of the series which are scheduled to share. I believe next weeks video is the last in Idaho then MT starts. I've just been adding new stuff since those are timely and the road trip isn't.
Thanks…looking forward to the balance of the trip. M2
Beautiful country and great vids. What's your contingency re bear interactions? Do you carry bear spray, weapon, etc? I will share with my youngest son, Drew, who inspires me to be a better fly fisherman. He and his brother are crazy talented.
Wouldn't ask for the exact spot but can anyone tell me what part of WY this is? 😅I'm looking at moving out there and love this country side
What’s your dry fly/hopper rod outfit wt?
is that stream stocked or are they natural trout
Great video . One question why don't you eat any of these trout. Is it all catch and release ? The trout size in these streams if like Scotland will be determined by food and numbers . They all seemed to be roughly same size so taking some will make no difference. Fresh trout might be the nicest fish too eat there is .
Pa would remove all those undercut banks and install beams to prevent erosion and improve pools aka fish have no where to hide
Pray tell my good man - where is this place? Or are you committed to keeping these little-known hideaways secret so as to not draw too many people to them? Spent most of the 80s in the Rocky Mountain west (CO, WYO, MT) and miss these getaways something awful now, nothing like them back east.
I'm thinking that this place might be somewhere near or in the Powder River Basin with the mountains in the distance being the Bighorns - am I right?
Have you ever had a bear encounter any time you’ve been fishing anywhere?
