Damn it Drew, I'm sick to my stomach from watching you have all this fun while I'm stuck behind this pile of paperwork on my desk. "Hey guys! I just caught like 600 fish in Wyoming, and now i'm gonna enjoy an ice cold beer and smell this fresh pine air around a peaceful campfire!" Actually, i'm happy for you brother and extremely jealous. Have a safe rest of the trip and catch one for me!
It never ceased to amaze me how beautiful nature is... Wild and untouched the way it supposed to be ! I wish i could tenkara that river..! Greatings from France
Few people will understand how hard it is to be a solo fishing camera director. I get so locked on the fishing, the shots are always a hindsight. Beautiful work. Thank you.
May sound corny as heck but that crystal water , flowing over stone, the mountains just seems enchanting. Beautiful fish too, pretty sure I’ll never get to experience the west and it’s streams. I used to wade fish a lot in the Ozarks ,, N.C. and even a lot in Ms. ( which doesn’t have boulders just gravel , sand and a lot of Bush and bramble) where I’ve spent most my life. But I’ve never seen anything quite like Wyoming . Thanks for sharing the great view and fishing. I know after a long day of rock hopping even Parina dog chow would taste great. Ha ha!
@@LooknFishy As I mentioned last week or so, heading to Colorado this coming Sat..hope the snow storm doesn't mess up the fishing...can't wait...bowhunting for elk and dries for trout!!
Good size and chunky fish for first season fish. I say that because the par marks are mostly still visible. They're usually only seen in first season fish. Well done man . . . enjoyed it immensely.
Real pretty rainbows. Just real nice spots. I fish these areas so I was amazed years ago on a trip to Utah with the rainbows flashing the red of the canyons you encounter there.
Drew, I had a Pro4X in 2013!! Loved it! Didn't fish much while in Colorado; couldn't afford it, had two boys!! Now I am in California, and have time for fly fishing in the Sierras!! Nothing as pretty as the Colorado rockies!!
Funny I do that same kind of stuff outside of Chicago here for smallmouth bass hiking up a little creeks middle of the woods find a good hole and catch some smiles I love your enthusiasm when you get to the hole to when you first get to the fishing place that’s like me jumping at the bit can’t wait to get the hell out there LOL
Thank you for sharing your experience. I just recently moved to northwestern Wyoming and hoping to explore the river systems in my area. However, compared to other states, I quickly realized how Wyoming has everything fenced off. Perhaps you have already touched on this topic of water access. Can you help your viewers with tips on how to find public destinations to fish in Wyoming.
Another great video/experience. The creek was gorgoues, albeit a lot of work to fish, and I can only imagine to film and set things up. Some really nice wild fish for sure. Can't beat the solitude, minus the bear, and being able to fish, hike, eat "dog food" and drink some beer in your happy place. That is what dreams are made of!
Wyoming is beautiful the streams are amazing all over the state. Bears, snakes and cougars you always need to keep an eye open for. Thanks for great fishing videos , I would love to get up there in the near future !
Hi Drew, I was in Woning in 1992. Boy I wish I was into flyfishing back then..... Love to come back, especially after seeing your video's. Greetings from the Netherlands ;-)
Been watchin your vids for along time. Just opened an online outdoor company. Traveled from Reno thru 7 states in 19 days fly fishing. First Vid is published. Wife and I couldn't help thinking of your vids along our journey. Great scenery and Fly fishing !!!!
It's really a joy to watch your amazing presentations and skills. You are, indeed, a masterful fly fisher. Thank you so much for sharing!! Ron, NE Iowa.
I loved living in Wyoming as a kid ! Wish I were still living there too ! There's more fish per mile there then Montana or idaho , I wanna fish the bighorn river ! 😁🖒
So when you catch an 8 inch fish, it's like him landing a 15 inch fish. It's all relative, and the little guys are no less trophies. Brookies, especially in the fall, are living jewels.
@@georgesakellaropoulos8162 you are dead on...every catch is a treasure and we should all be thankful for the opportunity to explore these awesome places.
Me too. I fished a stream and I was climbing around Boulders for brook trout that were not even 3 inches long. The biggest one I caught that day was like 8 inches. It's the only small stream that I know of in the area but I live 100+ miles away and I only go fishing every couple of months so I don't have much time to explore.
Man, that's some epic water! I do a lot of new mexico and colorado out of a truck topper in similar fashion. I do "dog food' tacos, "dog food'" raman, "dog food' alfredo, The chicken and tuna packs make a good substitute as well. A variety of Knorr side kicks, dehydrated hash browns, mashed potatoes, raman soups make for some interesting combos. If Im in on some brookies or browns ill bring one or two pan size back for the pan for dinner as well, of course the native trout always get the pass!
@@gt_outdoorexcursions nah, too lazy to set up and break down a tent every day. I just snuggle up in the back seat of my truck...it's tight but works for me lol!
@@LooknFishy I hear ya, I've been known to drive 15 hours just to catch 7 inch trout in the morning in a small stream, having my little house on the back helps, the last thing anyone wants to do is set up a camp, lol!
I would like to see maybe the techniques used explained or reason for fly choice ect as a newer fly fisher I am always at a loss on which to use/choose. I have really enjoyed watching this summers videos
Thank u. I'll be adding more technique videos to my channel as I build it out. There are two on there now explaining nymphing and using indicators. But I answer every question I receive so feel free to email me at, looknfishy@gmail.com or leave them in the comments. I'm not an expert but I'm happy to explain my thoughts on fly fishing and share what I've learned. I'm an open book!
You sure do get around I’m planning on a trip next spring to Wyoming, do you think you can give some advice on where to go I would love to know where this is? I live NWA if I have it right think you’re somewhere near there.
Beautiful footage and scenery, awesome fishing, great presentation, and you have a nice demeanor with your viewers! Wyoming is a place I've dreamed of traveling to. Gorgeous state! Liked and subscribed! Cheers and safe travels! -Steve- from south central Texas.
Thank u for the kind words. Hope you get a chance to see it. My belief is, if someone takes time from their busy day to leave an honest comment. They deserve a truthful and respectful reply! Least I can do!
@@LooknFishy Thank you for the reply, it means a lot to your viewers! I'm actually watching your other videos and I'm enjoying those as well! Thank you for bringing your wonderful adventures to those who can't be out there. Take care Sir!
How do you dress for wading and hiking? I'll hike up to 2 miles in to fish a stream. The hike in is always great. I'm dry, my feet are dry, I'm fresh etc. But if I wet wade with wading boots and shorts the hike back sucks. I'm tired and my feet are wet while I hike. I don't like waders because they are restrictive and I have to carry them in and out, but I'll use them sometimes. So I waffle back and forth between hip waders and no waders. So, how do you do it?
I agree with initial statement, it adds a lot to the videos when ppl know what state and general area the it is being shot. For me it also kicks it up a notch when the rigging system and fishing method is discussed. Cool video, subscribing !
Yea, have heard that and definitely adding more technique style vids to my channel. Was hesitant in the beginning b/c it seems like there are lots of those style vids on yt already. But I'm listening and have one in mind that I'll share on here soon. With more in the future! Appreciate the feedback!
Drew, how do you manage your net in bear country ? Are you ever concerned about transfering the fish smell in youe net onto other objects or yourself ? Thanks for answering all my newbie questions.
I put it with my other gear in a tree. After dinner, brushing teeth, cook and anything else...I do away from camp...strip down...jump in the creek and put everything in a dry bag. Place that and net on 2 opposite suspension rigs and pull it high into a tree. I set up my tent and sleeping bag at least 100 yds away from that spot. Not perfect but best I can come up with!
Drew, when you were fishing in bear country did you take any precautions to make sure your fishing gear including your net, pack and fishing clothes never touched your other clothes and sleeping area including your tent if you used one ? I almost think to fish in bear country all clothes and gear must be separated between "contact with fish" and "no contact with fish". I just cant figure out how to do this when camping in the backcountry. Any ideas ?
So I have clothes I fish, eat and anything else in and clothes I sleep in. I fish, cook, brush my teeth and do anything that might attract a bear in my fishing wear. When I'm done for the day..I jump in the stream and then change into sleeping clothes (no soap) and everything goes into a dry bag...I mean everything...tooth paste, sun screen, bug spray, chap stick, food, etc...the dry bag goes into backpack which gets hung from a 2 suspension system...2 caribeaners from opposite trees...I put my net on it also. Boots and fly rod go up high in a tree and all are 50 to 100 yards away from my tent. I don't eat or bring any food near my camp. Basically I sleep in my tent and nothing else.
Love your vids Drew.Awesome sport in a blissful environment.Did similar for about six years,after a medical episode.Did'nt document it though.Trust your occasionally eating some of your tastey targets.YUM.Thanks for this,respect from downunder.
I really enjoy your videos Drew. I am new to flyfishing and hope to be able to cast like you one day! I love that little flip you do when it is going downstream.
Im planning a fishing trip to wyoming this spring and ive been wondering if i need a gun while i fish in case of bears or mountain lions. I noticed you had a handgun. Would you suggest people carry with them in these remote areas?
No, I'd recommend bear spray, bring a buddy and make some noise. I don't bring a sidearm just for hiking into remote areas...but also for all the nights I spend on the road sleeping in random/unfamiliar areas. But definitely believe the best option in bear country is noise and spray. No real worry for mountain lions!
im flying up to MT in march to fly fish (just started) We are staying in livingston, MT. are you familiar with the area? Do you have anywqhere you'd recommend?
I also like that ur just human like the rest of us. Love peeping over a boulder to see a beautiful little pool. From N Maine originally & hv done my fair of watching em wiggle on the end of my line. Will check out ur other vids
Great video series from WY ... thanks for not disclosing locations .... really like your day pack, what model is it? Seems like a good system for easy hiking.
Great vid Drew! I like the overview shots, I know it takes a little longer and it's somewhat theatrical while you're doing it, but the results are nice. Enjoy the next two days, looks prime!
You’re fishing my home waters. Nicely done. Sure appreciate the effort you put into making these videos. If you ever get back to Wyoming, and you should...give me a shout and I’ll let you know where to go around Buffalo👍 Though it looks like you already found one yourself. We have some pretty good high country spots as well. Not many are day hikes however. I know one place that gets skipped by most, and you can fish it and be back at your truck the same day.
Thanks Gary! I'm definitely planning on returning in July and would love to learn more about the area, if you're willing. Definitely want to protect your information...my email is, looknfishy@gmail.com.
Yea I have considered a tent but those are pretty much exactly like what I have and trying to find an option for gear storage and sleeping. Thinking a topper is in my future...but I have also been researching the go fast campers bc they seem to offer a mix of tent and quick set-up/break down, which is what I don't like about traditional tents. Thanks for the information!
Looked like a few places you had split shot on or weight. Is that to get fly real deep? Didn't look like the hopper was getting top hits, so were you fishing it wet? Great looking river and been trying to find remote water with my son, but need to get in better shape for next year. Thanks for the excellent videos.
Thx Jon, staying in shape is super important to me, not a joke! No, just dry or dry-dropper. About 90% took the stonefly dry, the first bow and 2 or 3 others took the dropper. Eventually, I cut it off as fish were more willing to come to the surface. The takes were very subtle and not splashy...plus the gopro doesn't provide a ton of detail at distance. I do a lot more nymphing in the next 2 parts.
@@LooknFishy I am amazed at how good your videos are period. I am especially amazed that you only use a GoPro. I thought for sure that you were using a very high end camera for many of your shots.
@@LooknFishy You make some of the best fly fishing videos on TH-cam. You should have more followers. I am amazed at the gorgeous streams you find outside your own home area. How do you find such beautiful fishing spots ?
@@newlifeeveryday1821 thanks for the good vibes man, awesome to hear it! Gotta admit, youtube is harder to figure out than any fish I've tried to catch lol! But humbled to know anyone follows my adventures...will keep adding real/authentic videos and let what happens, happen!
Very nice vid. I love the nature over there, except the snakes. What kind of camera did you use. The colors are good and the movie is sharp. tight lines and greetings from The Netherlands
(Just saw your .44 at 8:16). Subbed from New Zealand! Many bears out there ? Do you need a .357 on these trips or just do your best to avoid them?? Thanks.
Thank you so much for letting me express my feeling about your fishing Your share every video so well. Keep the hard work going and good luck. Hope to see such awesome more ahead to. Old friend, I am with you ,hopefully you are with me
Hello sir I’m a North Carolina resident we are taking a trip to Wyoming next year I see u had a side on your hip so I’m guessing Wyoming does allow that
i have a cabin with a deck over this river in this canyon. u are less then a mile from my cabin in this video! very cool dont see many people posting about it. thanks for not giving the location
Love your stuff! Thank you! Do you have a video in which you discuss your camera gear, setup, and how you handle your camera and angles while fighting and releasing fish?
Solitary, remote, and full of fish + gorgeous scenery - heaven!
Couldn't have said it better myself!
Exactly!
I could live eat and breathe flyfishing!
Exactly the kind of water I look for. The harder the access, the less pressure & the better the fishing. Kudos for sharing!
Same here!

Haha...sorry about that! It's been a good year!
Sounds like a personal problem to me micheal garcia
You can't beat the feeling of exploration when stalking up a stream. Superb!
Nope, u really can't!
I love fishing Wyoming. I go up every year, back to my motherland, back to my peace.
It never ceased to amaze me how beautiful nature is...
Wild and untouched the way it supposed to be !
I wish i could tenkara that river..!
Greatings from France
Amazed everyday by what I see in this crazy cool place. Cheers!
Is that Grizzly country?...need bear spray?
@@garyrafferty7625 black bear, I carry spray for sure!

One of my favorite streams, recognized immediately
I am amazed how easily you fish this stream and the fish you catch. Very cool.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Screen saver views every day!
Is this in The Winds, The Medicine Bows, or the Bighorns?
Beautiful stream with some good fish!!..and awesome scenery!!
And it gets better the next two days! Such a cool place to explore!
@@LooknFishy As I mentioned last week or so, heading to Colorado this coming Sat..hope the snow storm doesn't mess up the fishing...can't wait...bowhunting for elk and dries for trout!!
I'm sure it will be a good time no matter what. I'd put money on the fish getting hangry at the first sign of the seasons changing!
I love boulder hoppin! Great film
Thanks, definitely earning those beers!
Incredible how you fish the little ponds, fast water, tight spaces!
Awesome video man!! That looks like an amazing little stream. Wyoming is definitely on the short list of places to visit and fish.
Right on dude, yeah it's a super cool place. Definitely recommend spending some time exploring it!
You guys need to make a vid together fishing some creeks for native brook trout
First two bows you fooled were peppered with blacks spots. Looked like lil' Alaskan Leopard Bows🐆🏳️🌈
Such a beautiful stream and great fish too.
Was indeed!
Wow !!!! This is a beautiful area. Thanks for sharing. You find some amazing places. I appreciate your videos.
Glad you like them!
Drew keep going you are right now one of the best fishing chanel, all the best
Just found your channel.. love it! Small remote creek fishing is the best!
Super cool to hear, thank u much!
Good size and chunky fish for first season fish. I say that because the par marks are mostly still visible. They're usually only seen in first season fish.
Well done man . . . enjoyed it immensely.
Thank u! Yep, healthy stream and healthy fish. You should check out the other parts to this trip!
Real pretty rainbows. Just real nice spots. I fish these areas so I was amazed years ago on a trip to Utah with the rainbows flashing the red of the canyons you encounter there.
Have heard that before might check it out myself one day!
Awesome video, beautiful fish!!
Thanks for sharing.
Happy to do it!
Drew,
I had a Pro4X in 2013!! Loved it! Didn't fish much while in Colorado; couldn't afford it, had two boys!! Now I am in California, and have time for fly fishing in the Sierras!! Nothing as pretty as the Colorado rockies!!
Thats a nice but challenging creek with those boulders. Good work!
Thx man, definitely...get a work out and fun figuring out the seams and pockets!
Funny I do that same kind of stuff outside of Chicago here for smallmouth bass hiking up a little creeks middle of the woods find a good hole and catch some smiles I love your enthusiasm when you get to the hole to when you first get to the fishing place that’s like me jumping at the bit can’t wait to get the hell out there LOL
That's what it's all about! Lol, yea it usually takes me 20 mins or so to chill...hiking a couple miles before I start fishing definitely helps!
Yeah same outfit in the same fly LOL
Spectacular! Thanks for sharing.
Truly was!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I just recently moved to northwestern Wyoming and hoping to explore the river systems in my area.

I don't bring a sidearm just for hiking into remote areas...but also for all the nights I spend on the road sleeping in random/unfamiliar areas. But definitely believe the best option in bear country is noise and spray. No real worry for mountain lions!
im flying up to MT in march to fly fish (just started) We are staying in livingston, MT. are you familiar with the area? Do you have anywqhere you'd recommend?
Sorry, never been to MT. Going to correct that this summer.
Man I just discovered your channel. Love your vids! If you ever get to az and want to go after Apache or gila trout let me know
I also like that ur just human like the rest of us. Love peeping over a boulder to see a beautiful little pool. From N Maine originally & hv done my fair of watching em wiggle on the end of my line. Will check out ur other vids
Haha, definitely human no point in trying to hide it...I fall down often, get lost and say dumb things lol. But I have a good time aslo!
Man we love fly fishing. I've been fishing the galatin and surrounding 100 miles for 47 years
We do indeed! Hope I can say the same thing one day! A good life!
Then you miss the old days where social media was not around as well as the terrific fishing.
Wow, great video! Beautiful country and fish. Nothing wrong with your dinner, either! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thanks. Yep, gotta love some spam especially with a side of good beer lol!
Great stream. Thanks for the video
Thanks man, had a good time for sure!
Great video series from WY ... thanks for not disclosing locations .... really like your day pack, what model is it? Seems like a good system for easy hiking.
You bet! It's nothing fancy just an ozark trail backpack from walmart. I just need something to hold gear and it was like, $20 bucks!
@@LooknFishy Thanks ... I keep looking for a better pack and yours seemed more functional than the one I'm currently using.
Great vid Drew! I like the overview shots, I know it takes a little longer and it's somewhat theatrical while you're doing it, but the results are nice. Enjoy the next two days, looks prime!
Thanks Roy, yes they can be but...I actually like getting creative with the vids. Just my way of keeping my mind engaged when I'm off the grid solo!
You’re fishing my home waters. Nicely done. Sure appreciate the effort you put into making these videos. If you ever get back to Wyoming, and you should...give me a shout and I’ll let you know where to go around Buffalo👍 Though it looks like you already found one yourself. We have some pretty good high country spots as well. Not many are day hikes however. I know one place that gets skipped by most, and you can fish it and be back at your truck the same day.
Thanks Gary! I'm definitely planning on returning in July and would love to learn more about the area, if you're willing. Definitely want to protect your information...my email is, looknfishy@gmail.com.
Drew, for your 5.5 foot bed of truck, look at the kodiak truck bed tent. Fits all 5.5
Yea I have considered a tent but those are pretty much exactly like what I have and trying to find an option for gear storage and sleeping. Thinking a topper is in my future...but I have also been researching the go fast campers bc they seem to offer a mix of tent and quick set-up/break down, which is what I don't like about traditional tents. Thanks for the information!
Now that is some Kind 'O' Pocket Water.
Yea, definitely had some pockets and some flow!
some tips for winter fly fishing?
How long of a leader are you using or do you tie your own with tippet?
11 ft...9' - 2x, 1'- 3x, 1' to 4x...to the fly. Just made a video that explains it and how I approach small streams. Will get it up soon!
Looked like a few places you had split shot on or weight. Is that to get fly real deep? Didn't look like the hopper was getting top hits, so were you fishing it wet? Great looking river and been trying to find remote water with my son, but need to get in better shape for next year. Thanks for the excellent videos.
Thx Jon, staying in shape is super important to me, not a joke! No, just dry or dry-dropper. About 90% took the stonefly dry, the first bow and 2 or 3 others took the dropper. Eventually, I cut it off as fish were more willing to come to the surface. The takes were very subtle and not splashy...plus the gopro doesn't provide a ton of detail at distance. I do a lot more nymphing in the next 2 parts.
What is the "Bear Revolver" you have there, Drew ?
This is a great video. Can you please tell me the type of camera you used to film yourself standing in the stream ? Thank you.
Thank u much. Film with a gopro and carry a small octapus grip that I can hold, wrap around a tree or stand on a rock when I want a non pov shot.
@@LooknFishy I am amazed at how good your videos are period. I am especially amazed that you only use a GoPro. I thought for sure that you were using a very high end camera for many of your shots.
@@newlifeeveryday1821 have been very impressed with it so far...especially for a grab n go camera I don't mind taking out in any condition!
@@LooknFishy You make some of the best fly fishing videos on TH-cam. You should have more followers. I am amazed at the gorgeous streams you find outside your own home area. How do you find such beautiful fishing spots ?
@@newlifeeveryday1821 thanks for the good vibes man, awesome to hear it! Gotta admit, youtube is harder to figure out than any fish I've tried to catch lol! But humbled to know anyone follows my adventures...will keep adding real/authentic videos and let what happens, happen!
Very nice vid.
I love the nature over there, except the snakes.
What kind of camera did you use.
The colors are good and the movie is sharp.
tight lines and greetings from The Netherlands
Thank u! Would have been cool to see one but at a distance lol. Gopro hero 8. Really like it!
👌🏻👏🏻from Denver Colorado
Cool video. Looks like some great fishing
Thx dude, it was a killer trip...the fishing and scenery were top shelf!
I like that cross body down stream hook set- delicious
Thank u much. Yea, the trout seem to point and laugh when I don't set down stream!
(Just saw your .44 at 8:16). Subbed from New Zealand! Many bears out there ? Do you need a .357 on these trips or just do your best to avoid them?? Thanks.
Thank you so much for letting me express my feeling about your fishing
Your share every video so well.
Keep the hard work going and good luck.
Hope to see such awesome more ahead to.
Old friend,
I am with you ,hopefully you are with me
Definitely will, got plenty on here now and more in the works! Thanks for checking them out!
Hello sir I’m a North Carolina resident we are taking a trip to Wyoming next year I see u had a side on your hip so I’m guessing Wyoming does allow that
i have a cabin with a deck over this river in this canyon. u are less then a mile from my cabin in this video! very cool dont see many people posting about it. thanks for not giving the location
Keep it to yourself. I'm jealous, but people will ruin it. It's nice to know quiet places like this still exist.
Where in Wyoming is this stream? Very nice.
Wish it were mine to share, but it was a gift from a friend!
Love your stuff! Thank you! Do you have a video in which you discuss your camera gear, setup, and how you handle your camera and angles while fighting and releasing fish?
Nice video! Just curious, what month was this?
Was there in August.
