Thanks for the entertainment as always my fellow Washingtonian! 🤘🤙😅

@@NWFishingSecretsslow days switch to spoon .
Let it sink just like you let sink bullet luer!!!
Big mommas don’t surface
@@NWFishingSecrets Not to be rude but your fly reel is on backwards...
Lief,
We miss you buddy. You’re a big part of many of our lives. Your videos are important to me, as they fill my life with so much happiness and warmth. Whatever is going on, know that we are thinking of you.
I just found this at his web site nwfishingsecrets, looks like he left a message yesterday. "(12/9/24 Update) - FINALLY back to making Care Packages (and videos!) just in time for Christmas!! This is just a small batch I made, so if you miss out on this one, stay tuned for several more Care Package drops this month! (Update will be in the next video…..)"
@gamezonereactions8388 I don’t see that message.
Thank God he is alive and well ❤️🩹
Thank goodness you’re well or so I hope! Leif we all love you and we will love your new videos and I’m looking forward to if you have ice fishing videos planned
@gamezonereactions8388 Great thanks for the update. My biggest concern was him having an accident while filming...unfortunately it happens to some outdoor adventure youtubers.
Missing you my friend!!!!! Hope everything is good with you and family. Look forward to future videos.
Same here! Take your time Leif but we’re excited whenever you’re ready for next video. Hope all is well at farm and with your health and safety too
Yes I went to search for a sign of life too.. hopefully he's just busy.
@@Logical he commented on his insta recently. Seems to just be busy. Glad he’s okay
He ded
The peak season for backpacking/fishing trips into the Cascades is mid-August (when the bugs start to thin out) to mid-October (when the snows start to fly), so the lack of posts for the last couple months doesn't really surprise me too much.
Hope you're alright, dude. Loving your videos. Take whatever time you need and ignore the trolls. Happy holidays. Fish on, man!
😂 gotta love people who are SO damned idealistic. Context is your friend...use it.
@UR2Compliant Speak of the trolls and they shall appear! This guy right here is what I'm talking about. Ignore this guy.
Yeah strange 3 months no upload, hope he is doing okay. I keep checking my subs page.
Honestly, this is the kind of stuff I want more of on TH-cam. Thanks again for making the internet a kinder, more beautiful place!
I agree 1000% you just need to make more videos for us. it's been over a month since the last one. I've been checking every day for that notification of a new nwfs video.
He passed away. His final wish was to be laid in a pond for the trout to feed on him. He ded
@@gerardochavez5175I make some backpacking videos in WA state as well if you’re looking for more like this.
Miss you man. I hope to see one of your videos soon. They bring me a lot of joy. As many have said we’re always thinking about you and hope you’re all good!
Thanks for your videos. I watch every one religiously. I am suffering from deep issues right now and this is one of the only things keeping me grounded. God bless you. I wish I could be a part of this kind of life.
Someday I will get a go pro and try and make quality videos. But so far I have uploaded 80+ fishing and outdoor videos with just my cellphone
Thank you for joining me on the adventures! 🎣 Means a lot to have you subscribed :)
@@WitkowskisFishingSickness Good for you I have a gopro and the videos are great.
Wow good for you clown
Stay strong my friend. It WILL get better. I had a cardiac stent placed a couple of months ago and I was really down about it. But staying positive helped a lot.
Hope your doing okay man love your videos happy Halloween 🎃
Thanks for the well wishes!! Happy Halloween, Christmas, and New Year 🎣 Fish on baby!!!
Love the videos 👍👍💪
Thank you brother 🙏
Means so much to hear! Thank you :)
4:04 am but you already know I’m watching this till the end😂👍
haha enjoy!! 🎣
@@NWFishingSecretsI will!👍
Somebody needs a life 😬😅
He ded
Yooooooo!!!??? Where u been at mannn what happened u doing Okay?????
Hey Lief, haven’t seen you in awhile, hope all is good buddy!
Man i really miss his videos. Hope hes living the good life and everything is well even if it means not making videos for us in a while. Just hope he gives us a update soon so we know hes alright and no mountain lion has made lunch out of him.
I think he got eaten.😂😅
Rip😢
@OutdoorStudentwhere is he actually
He’s going almost 4. Months. Lasti heard he was going back home to Germany! Just for a visit.
You’ve inspired me to get out and explore the great outdoors I live in Vancouver WA and just started fishing with my 4 year old son. My sons first fish was a 17 in rainbow trout his favorite fish ever now. Thank you man! Appreciate you brother!
Love hearing that!! And congratulations to your son for catching such an amazing first fish!! Proud of you two! 🎣 🔥
Damn man! I got a 4 year old too and we live on Vancouver island up north in Canada. I really wanna get him to hook up on a big guy but I haven’t gotten him a bigger rod yet. Still on his starter
Awesome dude! I grew up steelhead fishing with my dad in northern Idaho. Now I’m in your neck of the woods and just started getting back into it this year. Maybe we’ll see each other out there. 😂
Great job being a good father. Congrats to your son on a great catch!
You out there bro??! Getting actually concerned for you! Miss your content. Your vids always make my day. Fish on!
I just want to say, I am so jealous. What you are doing goes on in my mind everyday. I'm 66 and I love what you are doing. Keep up the great videos.
Patiently waiting for next Ep. button☝🏾
I'm digging these Sunday night uploads.
Such a relaxing way to end the weekend and take away the dread of heading into the week
haha primetime baby!! 🎣 have a great night!
Someday I will get a go pro and try and make quality videos. But so far I have uploaded 80+ fishing and outdoor videos with just my cellphone
@@WitkowskisFishingSicknessyou live in washington? Im Willing too donate my go pro hero session . Help a brotha out with them fishing videos
Thanks for everything you do, can’t wait to see more videos :) ❤
Thank you! So glad to be back :))) 🎣
Everyday other day I go to TH-cam with hopes that you post another video but it’s already 3 months without upload. We hope all is good. Can’t wait for another video and the laugh at small things.
Best wishes from Poland!
He’s just interested in making money out of all of you, why post videos when there are so many fools out there buying his scam salt xD
@NaeniaNightingale well, you can always make your own channel and do it your way. If you are bothered that he is selling something you are free to make your own brand and sell items you want. Why is so hard to move on on something you don’t agree ? Tell me, which brand of cellphone or clothes you are using and why is this any different? We are here for a good time and no hate, yet there is always person like you who can’t and won’t let others to enjoy.
@@kacperb6318 he isnt wrong tho the salt is a scam, people buy it in heaps so he doesnt need to make videos at the moment
My biggest trout was a brown trout caught in Switzerland's Saane river about a mile or two below the Schiffenen dam, caught accidentally while fishing for Perch on a Mepps spinner! It was a 63cm or ~25 inches female who just laid all of her eggs! I got a gold award and pin from the German "Fisch und Fang" magazine for this catch! That was way back in the days in the mid 90's... What a good time!!!
Been 3 months now... please come back. We miss you brother.
Haven’t been able to watch your videos for a couple months now so just spent the last 4 days fully catching up from June. Really inspired me to get back into my fishing and hiking. Love the content as always. Hope everything is going good and look forward to more videos.
Loving the longer videos, super relaxing and calming. Love watching your videos just before bed.
Hey im not sure if u will read this but i just want to say thank you for these presious videos. I really wanted these kinda relaxing videos after my grandfather died a few weeks ago this really hit the spot. Thank you, your now my favourite youtuber! thanks for your time and videos really some awsome content to watch. keep on going you will hit 1 mill soon i hope :D
It's not an Emmy. It's not a ToNy. It's not a Grammy. The award NWFS again gets for the best thumbnail is a Thumby. Bravo!
Your backpacking & mountain lake fishing videos are my favorite.
Oh man, mondays are usually .. not my favourite part of the week, but .. waking up to a new episode of NWFS .. makes it much easier :D .. thank you so much
nothing gets me more excited than seeing a new video from you bro. keep em coming!
haha thanks man, means a lot to hear 🎣 fish on baby!
After a rough day all day long, this video was exactly what my wife and i needed tonight to unwind before bed. We love ya, Leif! ❤
Anyone else here because they were wondering what happened to Leif?? It's been a while since we heard anything from him.
Yeah its weird he hasn't post for 2 months now
@@pablovilla9144 yup, and he posted on his ig story a few days after this video dropped that he was working on another video. Hope he is alright!
Exactly the reason why I came and have a look here!
Where has he gone
He said he’ll be back soon.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Since I'm physically unable to have my own outdoor adventures I will live vicariously through you 😊. Again thank you so much!
Just rewatched this for the 10th time cuz he hasn’t uploaded yet 😂❤️💯
I miss him 😂
Ya where I'd this guy?
Think he dead
These are the kind of videos that got me hooked on this channel. Glad to see them back.
I know it's been a hot minute since there was an uploaded video, but TWO MONTHS! Now I am worried. I truly hope you are well. You have been on my mind a lot lately for some reason. Sending you love my friend!! Hope everything is okay and that you've just been very busy with life.❤🙏🏻🎣🐟🏔🏕
He’s living his best life scamming all of you with his salt xD
Yessir got my popcorn ready for this one! Appreciate you!
🎣 🍿 have a great night!
I've been watching this vid for god knows how many times til the new vid drops. Good to know that Lief is doing well. ❤
Here we go. What a great way to end the weekend.
have a great night! 🎣
Your enthusiasm for fishing and hiking is so inspiring. I wish you nothing but happiness. Keep on posting great videos. The world is a better place because of people like you. God bless you.
thank you for your kind comment :) 🎣
Love you and your videos, keep doing this amazing job, I'm sure that you make someone happy in parts of the world that you don't even know every day ❤
Watching your vids while playing my game and ive got to say, every vid is so peaceful and i love all that youve done so far! Keep em coming (:
Same
It's been 9 years since the complex fire, it's nice to see the landscape come back to life.
Where you been mannn",you freezing at the mountain ranch,please check in bud
Been watching your videos for 2 years now . Absolutely love em.. Fish on baby❤🙃
He is alive y’all, he’s liking and responding to comments! Don’t worry yourselves, he’s simply busy!
Good I've been wondering not only because no upload but I was concerned for him as a person!
I doubt it...something must of happened. HIGHLY UNUSUAL...bet BEAR got him or a BOB CAT
He ded. His final wish was to be layed in a pond for the trout to feast in him. RIP
Has he posted on X(twitter) or IG recently?? Very worried!! 😥
@@KaisenAnders-fk8rp Not that I have seen recently just worried and it's odd because usually he would give some kind of update I hope he is okay.
My 5 year old and I love your videos! We watch your adventures all the time, and since we live in the same state as you, you’re giving me plenty of ideas for camping adventures with my family! Keep up the good work! You’re one of the best content creators out there!!!
@NWFishingSecrets Hey man, you haven't posted in a while. Hope everything all right at your end. All the best! Keep up the good work!
Those two big cutties are simply gorgeous. Their salmon colored bellies are so beautiful. Catching those two beauties in such a stunning scenery is pure bliss. A most enjoyable video.
We're a family now at this point. Love seeing your videos when I get home from work. Absolute legend my friend 🤍. Thanks again for taking us along your journey, remote and the farm.
❤ Best community I've ever been a part of. Thank you for joining me on my adventures, can't wait to share the next one with you!! 🎣
That drone section combined with the music choice 🫡👌cinematic genius bro unreal
Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures. We look forward to every episode as if we were traveling with you. Having lived and fished in Washington State, I can appreciate the beauty of the high mountains that very few people access. Keep up the great adventures and great fishing content. And don't forget the butter.
Miss your videos man. Your positivity is something a lot of us love to log on and see. Hope youre well and praying you upload again soon or give us an update. Thank you bro!
Kind of weird how many react to Leif not posting. We too have been worried about him and would like if he would at least give us an update but to publicly call him out and tell everyone to unsubscribe is just shallow and mean. The man has a life and it's not about pleasing you! Take care buddy and we hope to see you back soon!
Man are people really doing that, those people are slow low. I bet he's just been busy with the farm and family stuff. I bet we're here from him before christmas!
Always a treat brother!
Still my favorite channel of all time!
You're the one that got me interested in backpacking and mushroom foraging.
Thanks for all the amazing videos over all the years 🤘
Please tell me that all is well! Need my favorite content creator back to uploading! We are severely worried in this household. Longtime viewer here 5+ years
Means a lot to hear from you! All is well and a new video + update is coming soon! Lots has happened here at the mountain farm :) say hi to the family!! 🎣
@@NWFishingSecrets I figured you might say that lol!! Good to hear from you! Excited to see the new videos 🤩
Wow don’t even answer to the rest of us… c‘mon! You fake!
@@NWFishingSecretsdude. We know something is up Bensimon you went first on everything. That shit is not cool. Especially on TH-cam. You'll be forgotten right away.
@@rbd6661dummy, the checkmark means it's from the channel
This is still the best TH-cam channel ever! Thanks for posting your adventures, man! I'd love to go fishing with someone like you! You always make my day better with your videos! Cheers from Romania!
Hope all is well brother! I miss you ❤️
Miss you too. Will be back soon 🎣 ❤️
@@NWFishingSecretsJust the reassurance I needed! I too was wondering what was going on.
@@NWFishingSecrets ❤
@@NWFishingSecrets I miss you!!!!
thanks god ur ok. @@NWFishingSecrets
i always love watching these vids. they're so relaxing and a perfect way to end the night. please never stop making these vids my guy!
thanks for enjoying them! 🎣 ill keep em coming :) enjoy your night!
Hi Leif. We’ve missed you. My wife has a TH-cam channel with a little over 100k followers. She’s seen a precipitous drop in her revenue over the last several months. Wondering if that might have happened to you too. We certainly miss you. But we know how difficult it is to put so much work into something and then get a lot less reward. Hope all is well with you. We sure do miss you.
Your warm attitude and informational videos encouraged me to learn more about trout fishing and I was able to have a great experience landing my first brown trout!
Hey man I love you and you’re energy and I want to say no hate but can you please post more I know you have a Farm but please I love you and you vids man and you know keep on fishing haha ❤❤❤
I gotchu 🎣 🔥 ❤️
Thank you, thankyou, Leif, for taking us to such a beautiful lake!
👍😅 awesome
enjoy! 🎣
You are the most wholesome, down to earth guy I've seen on YT. Keep this videos coming ❤
Hey man i hope you are doing good, im starting to get worried cuz you aint uploading videos, hope i can see you catching some mountain monster lake hungry wild Trouts again
Your filming gets better and better every year keep it up.
Bro, are you okay? we miss you already. upload more videos, please! 😭😭😭
He’s being investigated for murder charges
@Outandaboot oh sh.... legit, bro?
I don't see anything in internet about that, bro. I hope that's just cap.
Youre just egnorant and pathetic to be spreading stupid rumors like that.@@Outandaboot
@@KenAffleck i scherced the commets and found one he had comented on 1 month ago where he said he has been super busy working on the farm so fhisng and making youtube vidioes has been put on hold. dont worry he said he will be back soon. take care man :D
Hey my 7 year old is a huge fan. He's been watching you since he was 6 and has learned so much! Thank you for making all these amazing videos. He told me to tell you he really wants to go on another adventure with you.
Where did you go? Haven't seen any content lately
🤠 You're hundreds of thousands viewers, will be so glad U R Coming back with new videos. 😊 That was too long.We were worried about you! Love you bro!
Best Fishes Happy Trails
👍🤟🤙🤘🤜🐟✌️🤞🙏🙏🙏🐾🐾👣🤠
Until Leif gets back on the air check out Stay Fishy Adventures, his content is awesome too and he’s trying very hard to grow his channel.
Love Leif’s content whenever he posts, so no offence meant by our recommendation.
Dude to me you deserve to be on the same level as Luke from the outdoor boys. You deserved so many more subscribers. I originally found you on tiktok so keep posting on tiktok.
Where are you? We miss you. Please upload soon.
Absolutely my favourite channel on TH-cam. Inspired me to get my fishing rod out for the first time in 20 years last weekend and got a lovely golden trout. Heading out again today. Best wishes from Scotland 🏴
You should defiantly try rooster tails in a lake with bass and trout. Anything will eat a rooster!!
true, rooster tails are insane 🔥
Beautiful Trout and Beautiful scenery ...... I've been blessed with the quality Trout fishing we have here in New Zealand .... having said that, I do enjoy your channel very much .
Anybody check in on this guy, he hasn't posted in like 3-4 months?
You are my favourite guy to watch on TH-cam ! Your videos give me peace 😊 take care brother !
thank you! You too :)
Greetings from Australia! Stumbled across your video in my TH-cam feed and I must say, you are living a dream to many! Love the videos mate, keep up the good work 🙌🏽
What happened to you? Hope everything is okay!
NWFS care package came in the mail today! So cool to have a bullet lure and danish sea salt. Happy to support your channel! Thanks Leif!
Stoked to hear it arrived! Thank you for picking one up, it means a lot to me :) Hope the Bullet Lure & Salt help you with some sweet catch & cooks! fish on baby!! 🎣
Are you going to do any more steelhead or salmon videos? Also will you try the cheek meat in the trout sometime
Hoping to make it out Salmon fishing in the next few weeks! And definitely need to eat some cheek meat 🤤
These videos remind me of home, ive been keeping fish to fill the void, but i miss being on the other end of fishing line. amazing cinematography and clarity throughout the whole experience, hope to see another one soon!
It's like a nice fresh rainy day kind of vibe when I watch ur videos.
Where have you been? Hopefully you’re doing fine
Just in time for another amazing adventure
Perfect way to end the day
enjoy and have a great night! 🎣 ⛺️
This was posted Aug 11? damn, he's been MIA for 4 months now. Has he had such large gaps in videos before? Hope he's well.
Hi Leif, thanks for another cool video, I really look forward to them, keep them coming, I need the escape from concrete hell! I can’t wait for next spring and get out there fishing and hiking!!
Hey Lief, you okay? It's been 3 months. 😢 Hope that you are doing okay. We miss ya man. 😢😢😢😢
Always a pleasure watching your videos. So chill, unproblematic, adventurous and soothing. Keep it coming🎣🧡
He replied to a comment 3 days ago
Very happy to see a new TH-cam of you. We love your enthusiasm for fishing.❤
Where Leif go?
I’ve currently been really sick with Covid at my worst I thought I was gonna die but these videos calm me down so much this is the 5th week that I’ve been sick and I’m doing better but it feels like my sickness is preventing me from going outside sadly but atleast I enjoy watching you go out and have fun. I feel like these videos really are something special, thank you for making these videos and I’ve almost watched every video of yours and I never get bored. I just wanna say how thankful I am for that your channel exists and inspires these many people!😊
My guy ? Where have you disappeared ? 😮 Where’s the monthly uploads ? 🫠
Great adventure. Happy to see that you included a comment on keeping oriented by looking back to see where you came from. It can really help the novice camper to gain confidence to seek adventure where few have been. FISH ON BABY!!!!!
Bro where the hell are uu ..u can't leave us in the Dark like that ..come on post some kind of update.. at least let us know if there's gonna be some new videos or not and are u fine ? Hope ur just busy 🙂♥️
Finally got to grab me a care package!!! You've inspired me to get back into fishing with my buddies and that has been nothing but good times over this summer for us. Keep on rockin and fish on baby!!!
So glad you got one!! 🎣 Hope it provides some good catch & cooks for you! Fish on baby!! 🎣
Dude..are you still alive?
Honestly I have the exact same concern. He's gone blank in all the social media of his that I follow. Very concerning
@@floresaza253yeah, if he gets unalived during a hiking trip no one will know for months since he lives in a mountain farm and has no connection to the outside world other than the internet
Another great show bro …can’t wait to see the next one always a pleasant to watch your concert!!
Thanks! Means a lot to hear :)
RIP Leaf
Not dead
hes not dead this is so weird to comment bruh
You got the best vibes videos my guy your videos don’t compare to others I really just took time to find your channel again keep going my guy
I hate to say it because I have been subscribed to this guy for a long time but I’m unsubscribing. I love his content but I think he forgets that we are his source of income and he doesn’t even give an update for almost 4 months now. If I had to call into work I would let my boss know. If I went weeks or months without doing so I would get fired. Just as anyone would. I feel very unappreciated as a subscriber. It’s because of us that Leif is at the position in life he is in. The fish farm. The new truck. The second property. And for what? To get ghosted for slowly approaching half a year?
Yeah to be honest i get you, ive been a big fan of leif s for a while now but this is just a punch in the guts to his fanbase, he always says that he ll make weekly videos and then he
ghosts his audience for 3 months, i do enjoy his videos but leaving your audience without an update for months is just unbelievable. I mean come on a community post takes what 5-10 minutes to write, but he hasnt even done that so far.
@ yes exactly. You are allowed to have a life and handle business if you need to. But it takes 2 minutes to make a post saying “hey guys I’m having a family emergency and I’m going to be gone a while I’ll keep you updated” it’s not that hard. Especially if it’s your job
