In the heart of the Northern Rockies, one 500-mile stretch of back country blacktop connects more than a dozen of the West’s most renowned blue-ribbon trout streams.
I live in this area. Have not fished the Henry's Fork before but the Madison is my favorite. Although not on Highway 20, the Big Hole and Gallatin Rivers in the area are phenomenal fisheries as well. The Big Hole can have one of the best Salmon Fly hatches in the west.
I've always said that US30 is the waterfowl highway in Idaho and now can add Highway 20 as the flyfishing highway. I live 30 minutes south of highway 20 in Idaho, 60 minutes from Silver Creek, 1.5 hours to the Big Lost, 60 minutes to the SF Boise and all the other diverse fisheries in Southern Idaho. It truly is a paradise for trout fly fishing and low key an amazing area for sight fishing carp, decent bass, great crappie and perch fishing. With all of this I'd still give it all up to go fish salt flats the rest of my life.
Don’t know how many times I watched this but never get tired of it. Much much thanks for that.
Love living in IF and fishing these places every weekend
Great video. The narrative voice Tom is pure poetry.
Beautiful place… just beautiful place… thanks for sharing.
I wish this was narrated by Robert Redford. His voice is so soothing and calm, just like flyfishing.
This guy is too wild for you? GTFOH 😂

I love fiscal responsibility and Tom Skerritt

Totally amazing 😊
If I win the lottery tonight, this is going to be the road trip next summer!
A few years ago I watched this film on Netflix about 5 or 6 times. I'm glad I have the opportunity to watch it on TH-cam.
This is the way.
Great video 🤘🏼
If I ever win the lottery I will quit my job and fish for the rest of my life..
I didn't win the lottery but I'm fishing for the rest of my life, been fishing for 30 years so far, nearly every week.
Wish the fish and wildlife in various states would be more concerned about preserving cuttthroat than non native species.
World Record Brook Trout came from Ontario's Nipigon River....14 lbs 9 oz...
Happy Fish’N 🤘
