  • Goldilocks was in town. The Cutts were in and the water still high enough to allow a mid-stream approach. Yes, this folkloric stream has a different name on the map, oh well, they were uninformed. Love the big spaces left behind by the glaciers.

    Love your productions, thanks so much much for the effort putting these together. I need to spend more time exploring this area. The scenery, fish species, solitude...hard to beat. I went south earlier this year to help my son move home from college for the summer. Inspired by one of your other videos, I took the opportunity to do some reconnaissance on the "longest river" in our state. It was in May and runoff spoiled my fly fishing intentions, but the bike trail was great. The state park was surprisingly amazing, I love the history and culture. Cheers and keep up the the great work, you are appreciated!

      Glad that you enjoy cycling and historical (pre-historical) parks. i first visited the park before the buildings were completed. I think the visitor center was a trailer. Sorry your fishing didn't happen in the high water.

    Looks like a fun campout in beautiful scenery. And, the fishing looked good too. On these hot summer days it sure is nice to wade the river without waders. The night shot was nice too. Thanks again for sharin!

      The fishing was exceptional this year; I hit it just right with the migratory trout. Thanks for watching Bob.

      Pizza was embarrassing (frozen -- and I can laugh at myself for being lazy); I more often bring flour and yeast plus toppings.

    Love all your videos - highly skilled fly fisherman who does a great job with cinematography (and camp cooking!). This stream reminds me of one up in Wyoming that I’m especially fond of. Sincerely appreciate these films.

    I hope I can find this beautiful stream someday, I’ve been searching all over Utah to find something like it, ive fished a lot of new water but every time I see your videos, I remember that I gotta find this one someday. The search continues :)

    I was there two weeks ago, I don’t remember the road being that rough in years past. I went all the way to where the road crosses the river though.

    • @nicholskk
      @nicholskk  Місяць тому +1

      Flash floods crossed the road in several places leaving larger, loose boulders.

    Hate this video. Hate to see somewhere where my family has been going for solitude for three generations. Hate to see it.

    • @nicholskk
      @nicholskk  Місяць тому

      If it helps, my family has an 11,000 acre ranch + double that in FS allotments (and fished) in the Uintas. Yes, we have been here for 9 generations, since the 1840s. You don't know solitude. You don't know having your foreman shot and killed during the livestock-wars era of Tom Horn. You don't know the Uintas before the automobile - I only know from being told first hand by family who did.
      Welcome newbie.

      @@nicholskk I know having my families homestead being taken away by the Carter family... shoot my grandmother was born in the fort. We got there about the same time by the looks of it.

    Great Vid! I have two sons - who love to fish, and when we go together, we have lots of laughs and good times, but catch fewer fish. But when I fish alone like you're doing here, I have more success. Tough trade-off - company or solitude? I reckon we need both types of experiences. Again, thanks @nicholskirk.

    • @nicholskk
      @nicholskk  Місяць тому

      My son and I fished when he was young. Then we kayaked and climbed mountains together, but has now thoroughly surpassed me on those such that I fish alone - and catch more fish and de-tangle less line. lol
