A few things on the "Joe" and the video. First there is no such thing as a hard trail or remote area as one can drive the whole length of the river to fish it. The hardest part is finding a campsite. Some parts are steep and hard to get out of once you get down there. Secondly one doesn't need a guide there if they have any experience at all. Now, it is a beautiful river but over crowded with people coming to camp as far away as Seattle and the big bridge is home to many vacationers lasting at least all summer if not spring and fall. The fish are fairly plentiful but not terribly easy to catch and large fish are not the norm but thats my fault I suppose as I dont see well enough to keep changing flys, I usually stick with whats tied on until it breaks off(75) yrs here. As once commenter said, it's loved to death. All that being said I'll be up there again fishing in memory of my best friend that passed a year ago and that was the last place we fished together. The video was nice to see and I recognized the places you were fishing. Thx. PS: How dare you say you dont want the most beautiful fish in the US in there? lol
Enjoyed your video, with 1 exception. You were walking down a tough trail and almost stepped on a plastic bag! You just left it there! WTF! In Idaho we pick up garbage, regardless of who left it! Please take care of our resources.
I think the best part of this faux outrage is the fact that you don’t know any of us and what we did after shooting this film. “In Idaho we pick up garbage” unless its on the median on the highways in every town, right? You’ll be happy to know we filled one and a half trash bags in the making of this video and we regularly do so when not filming. I’m sorry you’re offended by the shot, but it should please you to know that the “tough trail” was just a small path from the road to the river and not a trail in which we didn’t simply turn around to pick up the litter. I hope you have a fantastic day and take it easy. Especially when expressing frustration with someone on the internet. We must be quick to remember that we don’t have the full picture the vast majority of the time.
@@cutbowmedia3243 Sorry for the belated response. I appreciate your diligence and care of our resources. You are right about the roadside litter. As a 70 yr old native Idahoan, it breaks my heart that more people do not share your respect for our shared resources. Did not mean to offend, but truly want my grandkids and yours to have the same opportunities we have enjoyed.
I pulled into a spot to fish once and while I was getting ready this dude drove like a bat out of hell to the little turnout right next to me and proceeded to fish the spot I was at with his client for hours. Also was fishing a spot once and this dude started yelling at me “When are you guys going to be done here like 10-15 minutes?” Then he got annoyed when I said we don’t have a time line. I know you want to get your clients onto fish but don’t do it at the expense of etiquette.
I respectfully have to agree with the comment. It is getting loved to "death" (not literally, but it's getting haggard). Many of the fish have mouths that are scarred and deformed from being hooked and released so often. I think it is great that many people love to fish and get into the woods, the Joe is scenic and beautiful for sure, and it is healthier than in the 1960's, but I think the number of folks up there running up and down the roads on 4 wheeler - camping on every corner, all season long - is pushing some kind of envelope. Just my opinion.... but that said, I share your appreciation for its beauty and its wild fish.

Fished the Joe and elk hunted the hills around it in the late 1970s thru mid 80s. What is fantastic fishery.
Thank you.
New sub here! You are exactly right! The Joe is Amazing for every type of fly angler!
This was a very pleasant and nice video to watch keep up the good work👍

Just fly fished the Joe today. October caddis are hatching and cuttys are biting

I had the pleasure of fishing there last summer, it was a great experience! Great video!
Yeah, it’s a beautiful river. I spend a lot of time in those runs. Thanks for watching! It means a lot.

Its overused anymore
Do you think so?
