I am surprised to see lake names mentioned in the comments so much. It doesn't take much pressure on these backcountry lakes to clean out all of the trophy sized fish.
To anyone who wants to master backcountry fly fishing, this guy is probably the best in the world. Buy his book and memorize it!!!! Rich, you're the man!!! So glad to see you on film doing one of your favorite activities: catching fat goldens on the roof of the world! Thank you so much for everything you've done for me and the rest of the fly fishing community. BTW, you're kids are better fly fishers than you are!!!! You never caught hogs like that at their age. LOL!
They don’t have the red slash like like cutthroats. I read this guy’s book many years ago fishing the Rocky Mountain back country excellent informative.
Well done! I love your book - Fly-Fishing the Rocky Mountain Backcountry...for those watching this video, his book is THE book on researching Fly Fishing in the Rockies. This past summer was my second trip to the Winds because of Rich's written words. Thanks.
im all for 90% of this video and so cool to see you taking your kids out. but tailing towels and gloves? you're killing most those fish you handle. might as well keep them. id love to see you promote better fish handling because you have a giant following. Not trying to be a hater just trying to watch out for the awesome opportunity it is to catch those fish in such a pristine place. Thanks again for the cool content.
1. from the Green River lake TH - Stonehammer and Peak lakes (as shown in the vid) via the CDT, Clear and Faler via Clear creek trail 2. from the TH (forgot the name) north of Pinedale - Elbow and Slim lakes (especially the outlet of Slim full of big Goldens)
The people who comment on this video make me feel kinda sick. Calm down man. It's fishing and you guys arenall like read this book about secret fishing spots Iike it's weird
Do people really need to coach you on how to land a fish? Beautiful trout, but to be fully outfitted and have no clue or receive unwarranted continuous advice is bullsh... It can't be your first fish. Probably not your last. How did the guy in the blue windbreaker figure it out by himself? "We can let him go, if you want... not too stressed out. The fish has given a wave of his fin, agreeing that the gravel was acceptable." Hahaha... "Let's have a go at the fairy shrimp..." Nothing like assertive empowerment.

I am just curios. Does anyone know that when fish are out of the water ? Except for catfish and carp which can remove oxygen from the air.
That looks like War Bonnet in the background on your opening shot?

If those fairy shrimp are actually found in the perennial water with the trout , that is a very unique situation that warrants further study.

Ye
Love to see those Mega Scuds.
My channel is all about fishing using gear under 20-30 dollars, showing that anyone can learn to fish. I also may do a few wildlife videos.
The fishing is impressive. I don't like how you handled the fish.
HOPING TO DO MY FIRST BACKPACK TRIP INTO THE WIND'S....any chance you will let out the name of some of the lakes I should visit?

Great fishing and some dreamy cirques- one I know, and several I don't. Love the kids fishing.

I am from wyoming and to catch Goldens is on my bucket list. If you could give me a hint on where you went I would be great full.

@@brianl9944 The stream fishing in the 8-11 minute section is in a different Wyoming range
I would like to go one day also. I am going to be hush-hush with lake names on the videos, though.
@@brianl9944 do you mind if i ask where you can catch big cutthroat like in this video would greatly appreciate it and thanks brian!

Tailing towels and gloves are the worst thing for these fish.
is this near titcomb?
it's Stonehammer Lake. I caught about 20 nice Goldens in 3 hours.
Try Clear Lake as well .... about 10 mile hike from the trailhead at the Green River Lake.
With 5,000 views, you know have 5000 more friends.
How about telling people about all those trout in East Yellowstone
@@brianl9944That isn't Stonehammer
