Generally speaking this is a nice video. However I’m struck by the fact that almost all the fish caught are not just small but very small. That is totally contrary to my experience fishing the Madison more than 100 times from 1991 until 2011.

I live in Missoula! Have since 99. I love the fishing! And hunting!

caught a donkey behind the abandoned parking garage downtown Missoula...or you can drive far away.

Its all about the memories!! I grew up in Montana and learned to fly fish out on Rock Creek. My dad, brother and I had so many great days on the water there and other waters in Western Montana. It's very hard for me to see how much pressure the waters in Montana have gotten over the past 30+ years, but it was in-evadible. My son got fly fish with his grandpa in 2014, it was the last fly fishing trip that my dad got to take. I love watching your videos and love the stories. We are going back home this summer my brother, son and I for 6 days of fly fishing in Yellowstone and western Montana. Keep up the great content and keep telling the stories and making the memories!!! Tight lines!

Can I pet that dawg?😊

I love mine. I also bought a large as well.

I was born and raised about an hour away from Missoula, I’m going next week for 2 weeks, gonna fish all day.

Awesome!

I love the tip about making you own indicators.

Get a 5 gallon paint strainer at your local hardware store, or walmart. They usually have elastic and fit trout nets like a glove!

Look for preppers bug out bags and every day carry bags. Those guys organize like crazy

I've been a Fishpond fan for years and after fishing yesterday for a long time with my waist pack, I left the outing thinking about switching because I'm feeling dragged down by that system. It is great too but at 5' 3" I'm holding it up to wand to a spot at times. Your video has completely helped me get a better idea of it's proc/cons and I'll probably purchase one. I like that if I decide to to a long haul, I can get the compatible backpack you mentioned. I saw these at a fly shop today and checking reviews now. THANK YOU for sharing - appreciate ya!

Enjoyed the video - thanks for sharing. It would be nice if it was a little more instructive for new tiers.

Oh yum

To fish in Yellowstone or other national park, do you need US Govt fishing license or state fishing license?

I wish I had the peace of mind that must come from knowing you’re backpacking with a kickball champ

Excellent video - great information, explained clearly and simply. And some nice brownies in the net. Thanks!

Ahhh ... Missoula's Golden Circle. Enough streams and stillwaters to keep you busy for a lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a fabulous trip! Beautiful scenery and gorgeous fish! Wonderful!

Thanks for that guys. Really helpful. Just wondering where you guys put your lunch water and extra clothes?

It takes a lot of guts backpacking in grizzly country, especially by yourself. You can really learn a lot from the comments, but in my opinion you did good. I do a lot of solo backpacking in Colorado, we may not have the grizz as we know, but tooth and claw exist. If a camp fire is permitted, they’re nice to have as a companion, there is something about a campfire that makes you feel a little more comfortable when being alone. As more time passes through the country your ability to figure things out starts to line up. Anticipating the inevitable can help when in the outdoors, we can prepare all we want but it’s our experience that can set us up for the next thing. Great fish!!

You mentioned the wing was dun color but it appears lite blue in the video. Is it really a blue?

Great videos and thank you... I realize they are from 4-5 yrs ago, but still beautiful... I had a camp on East Fork in Wharton...

I AM FIRE

How did you shape/cut the plastic?

Did you end up doing the video on camera organisation?

Is there an explanation for to back squares on the side the plastic ones want to attach water bottle on side don’t know what their called and want to know of there is a specific clip for that style of accessory ?

Great video, I love that area. Only 2 sneks, that’s a good trip. NO STEP ON SNEK

I just found your site . I love correct and informative content. Keep up the good work.

My stepdaughter and I stayed at the slide inn. We fished right there pl us 3 dollar bridge, lyons, and at ennis. Buggers during the day and cadis in the evening. This was in July 2003 with lots of 16 to 20 inch fish. God I wish Becky was still alive to go back with me again, but she will still be there in my heart!

You had me at Yuengling.

🎉 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢m😢

Nice video with the snow and Brook trout! I love those little fish. The colors.....

Good job…. Keep up the good good work

This is great information...but I'm surprised you didn't include the materials for those flies anywhere in the video or the blog post. For the nymph....what material are you using for that dorsal stripe? Does the abdomen have a rib? Have you bent that hook upwards or do you buy them like that? What's your preferred material for that collar hackle? Are you fishing it weighted or is that a glass bead (since it's a dry-dropper)?

West Fork Bitterroot, my home waters.

I started doing family vacations out there and fell in love with the sport of fly fishing. A lot of familiar views so I can’t wait to go back this summer. The backdrop in the videos is amazing and I don’t think you can beat the experience. You earned a subscriber from our channel. Great video!

This has to continue. Please :)

Great tips. I am rigging a lanyard with a C&F patch. I am glad I found your channel. I now know exactly what I want, and how to do it. Thanks.

Keep up the good work you are doing nice work on your hatch videos. Love them great detail.

Thank you.

My wife and I have been going to Western Montana the past three summers. Absolutely nothing like that country anywhere! Came across this excellent video today. Excellent job self filming your adventure! We can 100% relate to your respect of the Griz out there. We feel the same way when we are fishing out there. Nice work and thank you for your Military service too!

Blue wing olive and elk hair caddis do great. Love the fall.

2 bad they went out of business

Great Job. I saw you have your fly floantants attached inside the magnetic pocket,what are you using to hold these floantant bottles?

Penn State guys! My son and I ran into a group of alumni staying at the same lodge we were near Pulaski one year. We had gotten back earlier than them and had the TV, so to speak. They very politely asked us if they could watch the Penn State game; we obliged. They were some of the best people we ever stayed with at that lodge (I've been going there for 35+ years), they shared with my son and me all kinds of smoked meats, cheeses, and fish. It was a helluve fishing trip!

The hoods are popped to keep pack rats from nesting. A little bit of light deters them.

Who make the nipper you carry? Where can I buy it?

What did you use on either ends of the bic pen to keep the tippet spools from sliding left/right?

Who flies from Montana to Pittsburgh and says, “This is fantastic. I want to move here”?
