I see you were looking to expand your stories about everyday people who take part in this great hobby. I have a heck of an ongoing story. Brand new to fly fishing. Spent 30 days living on the Missouri River and it changed my life. Going to repeat the venture this year. I'd love to share my experience with you.

The real challenge is finding a small fish on the mo, sub 6”

Waww.. salam indonesia

If I had a dollar for every time I see a video that has "best" river/creek/lake in the title, I could take a nice fishing trip to one of my bucket list spots.

Lovely movie.

It's a great river for trout fishing from a boat...

A re-cap of 2024’s most memorable summer & fall outings. Dave Bloom and Jim Burrington share their love for the Missouri River. With decades of fishing and guiding experience, few know the "Mighty Mo" like Dave Bloom. Happy New Year and thank you for watching!

Great video! Loved it, I’d share the water with him any day

Great video

The Clearwater River is awesome

Great Share I fish St Marys River for steelhead all winter and i understand the needle in a haystack So when i catch one its a much better feeling then guys who can catch 10 a day somewhere else ✌️

Dude...thats NOT the average size fish!

Go Tracy! Nice!! Thanks and best...pops

Very good video. Fishing or no fishing, the video is an excellent watch. Really enjoyable.

This video combines all 4 chapters of the Tracy Allen series - “Needle in a Haystack”, “Catch of a Lifetime”, “The Steelhead Whisperer” and “Why Catch and Release?”. 2024 was a great year thanks to Jason & Heather Schultz of Hells Canyon Sport Fishing, Dave Bloom of Bloom Outfitting, my father, Jim Burrington, Tracy Allen and his dog, Homer and all the great anglers for whom I have great respect and admiration. Thanks for watching. More to come soon.

Happy fishing po Keep safe in the river Sending support po

Bittersweet.

To say Tracy Allen has a passion for dry fly steelhead fishing is an understatement. Wild steelhead on the Clearwater River in Idaho are ritualistically appreciated and protected by those who hunt them. The world of steelhead fishing, while revered by those caught in its rapture, is not for everyone nor is it easy to describe. A simple cliché will do. Poetry. Thanks for watching.

Cool.

Among the best memories of 2024. B-run steelhead fishing on the Clearwater River. Hells Canyon Sport Fishing made this day possible. Very special thanks to Heather N Jason Shultz for their hospitality and to Tracy Allen for another clinic on casting. www.hellscanyonsportfishing.com/guided-steelhead-fishing

I never understood the idea of having a guide to fly fishing, to me the real fun of it all is when you learn the journey on your own. I don’t even let anyone net my fish. But then again this is America 😂

I just prefer the experience of catching fish on drys ..I just enjoy the site of fish coming to your dry fly and the ability to set the hook at their strike..

Way to go!

Too low? Ha!

I'll tell you the answer. These corporate ass holes that are all over these rivers, need not be. Screw these guides. The state should limit the crowding. 200 boats a day with bobbers going down the MO. You think these guides are good guides? What a joke. They float down the river, keeping the boat even with their clients bobber and you calll this guiding? 98% of these clients cant even cast. They just want numbers and oics for their social media. Why are they even fly fishing? Get off the rivers and go back to California. Guides have done nothing but ruined and exploited these rivers for profits and they've done nothing productive for the sport. They cant even handle fish properly. And you think these guides that don't teach a thing should get more money? Maybe they should get a real job. Fly fishing now is a trendy joke. I've never seen worse anglers in my life. Lazy asses that dont learn a thing. And you say they guide from dawn to dusk? Do you even fish? When was the last time a guide was even out after 5 PM? Are you living on this planet?

This comment section is so fucked. Of course it's a problem for people to breathe down your neck when you are catching. They'll park boats in your drift, they row right through the pod of fish. Its a problem if you can give people a Little room it ruins the experience

Full time fishing guides need to start campaigning for The Rent is Too Damn High Party. Local fisherman, Jim Burrington discusses the cost of doing business and the necessary increase in rates on Montana’s Missouri River.. if they want to survive. This is part 3 of the “BarKa Lounger" sit-down series.

There's nothing like having a fish rise to your presentation and landing same.

Fly fisherman a a fickle group , I’ve been fly fishing since 1959 and have noticed in the past 25 ish years more fly fisherman that are snobby and I really don’t know why but they are . They look at people fishing with anything other than a fly as lesser of fisherman . I was at the ramp in Craig rigging up in the parking lot and next to me was a guy getting ready to head out also , he looks over at me and smiled and said ya know I’m a purest , I only fish with worms 🪱 I think he was checking to see if I was snobby :-) thanks for sharing

There aren't any trout in my river. I fish smallmouth on my flyrod and I fish a lot with sinking lines and Versa leaders. No shame.

Great video! It's awesome to hear all the wisdom from a seasoned guide like Dave. Congrats to Lia for successful fishing trip!

she's so good 😄

A good day.

I am very proud of my wife, Lia Knight, for her success as an award winning nationally syndicated radio personality. She won 2 Country Music Awards and many prestigious salutes over a long career in broadcasting. Energized to embrace new experiences and pursue new skills, Lia agreed to spend an afternoon learning from the Missouri River’s best fishing guide, Dave Bloom. Thanks for watching!

Can confirm Bloomy is a great guide, had a great day in the boat with him on the Missouri many years ago

Better than using 2 flies and a bobber ....... that ain't even fly fishing!

So in other words, the fish biz is in a death spiral.........................GOOD. Who thought it would be a good idea to turn a little "sport" that few people took seriously, in places that had limited resources (rivers) that could only support a limited number of people before it beat itself right to death. They turned fly fishing into a lifestyle sport and now the glory days are waaaaaaay behind them. No fish, no people no revenue for you. Go get a real job.

I guess I'm a snob too. Fished all year in Montana and Michigan and never once tied on an indicator. That said - streamers are my replacement for nymph fishing when the dry fly bite is off. I find it much more enjoyable. But if catching is your goal - there's no doubt nymphing is King.

I was lucky enough to fish for giant brookies in Labrador on mostly dries. But, I go with whats happening. No hatch, no dries, its a waste of time. One day in Labrador it was very windy and the guide suggested we troll streamers. On the down wind side of a small island was a small area of flat water. Ther was a guy from camp beating the water with dries and when we went by him he made some remarks about our " long casts". The words were no sooner out of his mouth when I hooked up with a three pounder right next to him. Two more times around the island and he said something each time, we hooked up each time. It was beautiful, he was a very pretentious d-bag(guides hated him). Next time around the island he was trolling with TWO rods!

Dry fly purists are dickweeds. I've fly fished for over 45 years and laugh at all these dorks on the Henry's fork in their expensive Sims gear. I use what works and it's a mixture of dry and nymphs. One day I was on the Henry's fork and walked up to 2 guys fishing. I asked them how fishing was going and one of the guys said he had 1 and 1/2 trout take his dry fly in 3 days of fishing. I went 100 yards upstream and second cast caught a 4 lb rainbow on a nymph. I released it because you have to. Those guys packed up their gear and left immediately. Tried to make me feel like I was fishing with a bucket of worms. I just laughed at them and their 1 and 1/2 trout fishing report. Total jackasses.

I’m the opposite. I don’t mind at all how I catch them, dry or nymph or if I catch 15 8” Brookies to someones 20 inchers. Size doesn’t matter, it’s all about the time on the river/creek. People are snobby about their gear, rods and reels this is also goofy as shit. To all those new guys out there thinking about getting started in fly fishing, you don’t have to look like you stepped out of an Orvis catalog. You can fly fish and catch fish with a tree branch, some line and a common fly. In fact I would encourage those who haven’t done this to get their peeps together and spend the day just fishing against each other with a tree branch. It will up your game and make you be more strategic when on the water. It’s also a great story between friends.

When I was a kid my favorite fishing was on a stream with a fly rod and a Pautzke egg with a split shot. It was so much fun to catch a small trout on a fly rod. So it was the fly rod that made it fun. Later I started using flies. Never thought about technique or dry fly or wet fly. I ran into the worst snobs when fishing for Steelhead on the Umpqua in Oregon. The absolute worst people to be around. Snob is just another way of saying asshole.

Great job storytelling though this video! Keep up the good work!

love this dad!! grandpa teaching james 😃

Tracy and Homer , a pair to draw to if you want to steelhead fish . Thanks for telling it like it is :-)

Not a fish story. I fished it nearly every year from 1992 to 2010. 6-8 times as many boats and fishermen over that time.

that's a really accurate and useful perspective, better than most of the fly fishing videos on youtube today......... more power to him..........

😂

Another example of what wrong with the world is this old guys mind set
