    Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!

    I had a terribly frustrating day a few days ago fishing private waters. First time I ever paid to play. I fished hard for 8 hours with very little action. Each half hour that went by, I felt more deflated. Finally, at the end of the day, I hooked a nice rainbow on a leech. Then proceeded to lose it when I accidentally stepped in a hole. I was feeling like fly fishing maybe was beyond me. But a couple days later, I gave myself a pep talk and decided to watch a video on your channel. Your content always makes me feel good. You and Kobe fishing together was exactly what this sad old Dad needed to snap be back into enthusiasm. I am going fishing one day this week. And while I know there are trout in there (the Sacramento River), I know that my wading and drifting it in one spot is rather long odds. But that's the beauty of it. If I get even a strike, it will have been more than worth it. Thank you for keeping me motivated.

    You said, "It's a creek but it's raging" and I remember the little old Raging River in Washington that could really get Raging when it got high and flowing. I've caught a whiff of the bears throughout the NW..... you gotta be prepared. I saw the Coug sweatshirt, my daughter, son in law and now grandson are Cougs. This was one heckuva trip y'all had!

    Lived in Northern Idaho from the late 1970s to the early 80s. So much great water on public ground, plus Idaho has the access law in our favor. At the time kids could use worms in flies and lures only water, my 7-year-old daughter caught a giant 4lb cutthroat with a worm on her Zebco on the St Joe

      The St. Joe, Lochsa, Selway, Clearwater, Salmon, Payette, Snake, Boise, Owyhee, Bruneau. We have some pretty awesome rivers in Idaho that have cut some of the deepest canyons in the country. Hell's Canyon is 8,000' deep, 2,000' deeper than the Grand Canyon. The Middle Fork Salmon River has also cut equally deep canyons, especially at Impassable Canyon. The rafting and kayaking is epic!

      Pretty unusual that a griz wanders into the Joe and they usually don't stay long. Even before they were reduced in number in the NW, they were pretty rare there. Not very good grizzly habitat.
