I'm blessed to live in the heart of the east kootenays, the still water and swift water fishing is 2nd to none. Absolutely incredible. Double digit rainbow and bull trout in one day!!!
In this video everything is just great. Great landscape, great rivers, a great guide, as company a great angler and absolutely fantastic great trout. Keep on doing this kind of videos because this is where dreams are made of. Left a subscription. Greetings and tight lines from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.
26:44 I see you had your bear spray mounted backwards in the holster, that's a really good idea! I had the safety come off bush wacking once, and got a soaker of bear spray to the gut! I am now more afraid of bear spray than bears! Lesson learned, mount the nozzle backwards!
I grew up in squamish and have fished all of the rivers there for the majority of my life , i know of a spot up in the squamish Valley where you can constantly find giant bullrrout around mid October to late January.
Great video and content! I have developed a very similar approach for the skinny water steelhead fishing I do with a 10' 7wt. It has been my go-to technique for the last four years.
I jave the same waders (previous generation) as a guy in blue shirt. I can say it is outstanding thing. After 8 full seasons it is still operational. And i am big and heavy person, destroying ordinary clothes very fast. Exelent video, beautiful water and fish.
Great video! Beautiful country. Fishing BC has been on my bucket list for a long time. You guys mentioned the rod weights, but didn’t mention the lengths? Are the 10 footers? Keep up the great work and videos guys.
Although you guys mentioned the leader when it came to tippet it wasn't very specific. What are you using for tippet when targeting bigger bulls? 5x? 4x? I'd assume fluorocarbon? Cheers!
@@Valleyfishing Nice. I was up that way fishing for pinks when they finally opened it. Was not confident enough to try for bull trout but this video is making me regret it!
Huh, no mention about how bulls are native and endangered/ protected in many places. Huddled into a fraction of their native range by invasive browns and rainbows.
Thank you for your input. This episode was filmed in British Columbia where bull trout are native. Bull trout are not currently under any protection nor has any agency, Federal or Provincial, deemed this as a necessity for the species.
These are bull trout, Bull trout and Dolly Varden are two different species. The Dolly Varden found in Alaska, Salvelinus malma, were never present in the McCloud River. The fish likely viewed by Elda McCloud were in fact bull trout, Salvelinus confluentus. Bull trout and Dolly Varden were confused by anglers and biologists until 1978 when Ted Cavender of Ohio State University demonstrated that bull trout was a valid species separate from Dolly Varden. At that time the world record Dolly Varden (32 pounds) from Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho became a record “bull trout”. Basically inland forms of the Dolly Varden trout were reclassified as Salvelinus confluentus, retaining the common name bull trout
Had the pleasure of hiring Clint as a guide back in 2016. Fishing the Squamish river should be a bucket list item for any angler.
Thanks Nick!
What was your total cost?
Amazing, looking to find a guide this year. Did you stick to the main river?
Try the Pitt. Lol
This is one of the best The New Fly FIsher episodes of all time - great job thanks !
Thanks!
I don’t how I missed this episode. I’m glad I caught it! Pays to review NFF older episodes.
It’s a fly fishing video staple to have at least one awkward hand shake to high five to knuckles interaction. Great to see it
2 massive trout to end the video. Fantastic tactics thanks so much!
The bull trout in the end was indeed a grand finale trophy !
Dr. Phil my favorite
By far the best year of my entire life, the bulls were just huge
I'm blessed to live in the heart of the east kootenays, the still water and swift water fishing is 2nd to none. Absolutely incredible. Double digit rainbow and bull trout in one day!!!
Same deal I love this place
So lucky to have these rivers so close to home. Great show guys 🇨🇦
as an inexperienced fly fisher this was informative and appreciated
B.C is the epitome of fly fishing heaven
Right in my back yard. Caught some massive Char in there over the years. Love this video.
I miss Canada and BC so much, thanks for sharing this great adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great footage! Nice Bull trout and Oh, that scenery! WOW!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent Excellent Excellent very nicely done thank you for your hard work!!!!!

thanks Robin!
Best episode I have watched to date. Well done sir
Thank you!
Those last two bulls. Insane. Great to see guides with throw bags as an extra client safety tool. That's not a common occurrence.
What a fantastic episode, you two had an absolute blast 👏. I wish we had fishing like that in the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks! You'll have to make a trip then ;)
@@Valleyfishing it's there there or the Catskills!
This was awesome to see! Heading out to the Provo river in Utah tomorrow morning! Excited !
Good Luck!
Awesome show! Thanks!
Amazing episode. Now, I just want to go there! Thank you for making great content and sharing it with us.

Super fat bulls! We have some good ones in Alberta but i have never seen one that fat! Wonderful work guys
Wow such a great video. Thanks for this.
Awesome video Clint
Thanks!
Just caught a 10lbs bull trout on a 6 foot ultralight spinning rod with an ice fishing reel. Craziest fish of my life
Great video
Awesome fidoe, great footage and top fishing, Excellent, tight lines and greetings from NZ, Tony.
WOW. HUGE Bullies!
most awkward high fives in existence
Excellent. Will be waiting for premier next 3 days. Will you post on Anchored?
Hopefully!

*sees title*
INSTANTLY DROP EVERYTHING AND WATCH
Oh...the thrill.
Omg the Todd Oishi special
HAHAHAHA Not quite the same......but similar. I refer to it as the CND.
@@Valleyfishing yeah it’s different. I’m sure just as effective though 😂😎
I jave the same waders (previous generation) as a guy in blue shirt. I can say it is outstanding thing. After 8 full seasons it is still operational. And i am big and heavy person, destroying ordinary clothes very fast.
Exelent video, beautiful water and fish.
Bull Trout, a Char, is delicious eating .
Hopefully you are joking 😂
@@isaacboettcher3489 you can keep Bulls in some places in BC.
Spectacular video Phil 🎣🎣 , what a amazing Bull Trout 👏 😃. Is that your new P.B 😉 .
nice Bull
in alaska, our pink salmon come back every year in the sustina river system. we dont have odd even runs. wonder why other places have that.
Do you have a video on how to ty the OMG fly?
Not yet. I'll upload something on TH-cam this spring/summer. I call it the CND.
Great video! Beautiful country. Fishing BC has been on my bucket list for a long time. You guys mentioned the rod weights, but didn’t mention the lengths? Are the 10 footers? Keep up the great work and videos guys.
they were using 3 weight for ten foot
I was using a SAGE ESN 4100 which is 10'. Phil was using an Orvis 5wt set up. I drop to a 3wt in areas where fish tend to be smaller.
@@Valleyfishing Great video! Really enjoyed it! You and Phil hammered those fishes 👍🏻What type of euro nymphing fly line were you guys using?
Caught the monster.
We call those dolly vardens here on the arrow lake, bc. Good eating fish.
They are 2 different fish. Bull trout are not dolly varden, no more than lake trout are brook trout. They are all char though.
Aw great now I gotta add bull trout to the list….
Ha ha ha.....adding to the addiction!
so i thought bull trout were a subspecies of Char or Dolly Varden but they are the same fish apparently?
Although you guys mentioned the leader when it came to tippet it wasn't very specific. What are you using for tippet when targeting bigger bulls? 5x? 4x? I'd assume fluorocarbon? Cheers!
.14mm -.15mm Stroft GTM - tight lines
Was this from last year?
Yes.
@@Valleyfishing Nice. I was up that way fishing for pinks when they finally opened it. Was not confident enough to try for bull trout but this video is making me regret it!
I’d love to watch this. However. 4 adds in the first 3 minutes had me turning off TH-cam for the day.
There's always the pay up option. I'm too cheap too though😄
OMG, the water is so blue. I love the natural rivers. I hope to God, they never try and dam it.
Cane pole and crappie jig reborn.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t get Euro Nymphing, why not just use a Center Pin, or a spinning rod?
Looked like a dolly varden to me.
Just buy a spinning set up if you’re going to fish that way

Thank you for your input. This episode was filmed in British Columbia where bull trout are native. Bull trout are not currently under any protection nor has any agency, Federal or Provincial, deemed this as a necessity for the species.
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but, those "Cutthroat" trout showed no signs of a Cutthroat and every sign of being a Rainbow.
Talking a lot but the catch and size are pathetic…. Talks less do me a favor
I've travelled coast to coast to coast and BC is by far the WORST and LEAST accessible and recreational fishing in Canada
Absolutely! Nothing to see here, far better fishing North, South, and East of here.....😂
Those are dolly varden not bull trout, honestly amazed you guys don't know this claiming to be professional anglers.
Thank you for your input. I've been a part of studies on the local char populations since 2003. They are all bull trout, verified through genetics.
These are bull trout, Bull trout and Dolly Varden are two different species. The Dolly Varden found in Alaska, Salvelinus malma, were never present in the McCloud River. The fish likely viewed by Elda McCloud were in fact bull trout, Salvelinus confluentus.
