- In part 15 of the 9-week truck bed camping road trip, I'm in Idaho for the next three weeks. It's my first day and I've found a stream that holds some remarkable westslope cutthroat trout. They are big, beautiful and stacked in every hole! On top of that, the stream is absolutely breathtaking, proof the fish gods created Idaho! Check out all the videos from this trip in the playlist linked below:
2022 9-week road trip started July 31 with 3 weeks in each of the following states WY.ID.MT

Yep. Recognize that water…one of my favorite spots! Never gets old!
Heaven on earth. Looked like some buttery Yellowstone Cutts mixed in with those silvery West Slope Cutts.
Idaho is a special place!
I lived in Boise for 14 years, traveled throughout Idaho fly fishing, it’s the best.
Oh man Drew. Another incredible video. You are living the best life! That shot of the creek and cliffs at the 9:00 min mark looks like a cathedral for Trout. Happy holidays!
I'm definitely trying to! There were so many spots like that...this one was hard to leave!
Wow Drew, Impressive creek you found! There was some fighters in there! Outstanding views all the way around! Looking forward to next one.
It keeps getting better for sure!
These videos always put me in a happy place.
Man, what a gorgeous little creek. Crazy big cutthroat in there, too!
It was definitely holding some good fish!
Hello drew. I find your videos very calming and fun to watch! I enjoy how you take us on all your adventures! But by chance could you maybe include some more of your casts on video! I would love to see the process from rigging up to catching some nice ones! Thanks for your time and the great content!
I grew up in TN. Moved to WY. Then ID Was there for 17 years. Back to TN. Love the videos
Geez O Pete, that hole from 4:00 to 7:30 minutes. Four cuts in gin clear water. Over the top splendid. Nice day.
That was definitely unexpected!
Catching cutties just never gets old
Truth!
Super mister,splendid fishing,clear water and nice trout. Thank for vidio. Merry christmass and happy new year 2023.
Gotcha on the first one!
BEA utiful, wow, gorgeous trout. Water is amazing. 😮
Definitely my thoughts too!
Hi Drew, I see your fishing in my backyard! I recognize the holes you walked quite a ways up! my favorite water is just around the next few bends from those cliffs.
That's an amazing stream to be in your backyard. I think I'll bring my backpack next time!
@@LooknFishy There is a nice meadow there to camp in.
@@jayniehoff5559 where is it Jeffrey

Idaho was my favorite part of your trip last year and looks to be better. Love it! Merry Christmas 1:21
Merry Christmas. I'm not sure I could have had a better time in Idaho...which worries me for the next trip lol!
Wow another nice spot and great action with some beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing.
A special place!
The clarity of the water at time 2:45 is wonderful. At time 9:00 the scenery…is simply stunning. Big powerful cutties caught in that marvellous solitude…oh man …can you ask for more?
I can not, and if I did people would question my sanity!
Excellent job. That scenery was stunning. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one.
They get better imo!
Beautiful Cuts!! Gorgeous water!!
Thanks for another awesome video. You landed some CHUNKS and that scenery will help me get through winter
Definitely a good reminder why we tie flies and look at maps all winter lol!
What a beautiful stream, and some very hefty fish to boot. I could definitely get lost in that area. Enjoyed watching. Tight lines. 👍
Was hard to leave this one!
Recientemente que voy siguiendo tus vídeos, eres un privilegiado de pescar en esos salvajes y maravillosos ríos esos salvajes y maravillosos peces, enhorabuena por tus vídeos de calidad a la altura de la calidad de los peces que pescas. Un saludo 🍻
Some very nice size cutts. Beautiful stream too.
Couldn't have asked for a better start to this portion of the road trip!
WOW what an amazing stream stacked with over sized trout... fantastic vid Drew.. Catch video and release is your Moto... just imagine if all fishermen practiced this, what an amazing fishery we would have
Beautiful fish in a great neighborhood!
My kind of hood!
I haven't fished Idaho in a long long time and your video really makes me miss it. I sure love some of the streams in Wyoming too
Hard to go wrong with either!
You must have been on the road brother in search of the next perfect spot. Be safe and keep them coming 😁👍🏼
The next perfect stream drives me!
A beautiful stream, great fishing. Fly was kicking butt.
That stream was incredible!
Dear Drew - Thank you for all your videos and hard work bringing us to some fantastic places and beautiful fish . I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Cheers Torben, Denmark
Merry Christmas to your family also and thank you for the good vibes!
Welcome to our wonderful state! North Idaho is an amazing place and glad you got to experience it. The fish are rarely ever picky and you capture the beauty of the 'westies' well. Well wishes for a great new year to you.
That is the way we used to camp 50 years ago near trail creek pass going toward Sun Valley.🎣
Wow what a beautiful stream & awesome fish well done Drew!
Thank u! That one was pretty awesome!
Holy crystal clear water!
You were in some of the best cutty waters Idaho has to offer. Last summer I caught a beautiful 16” cutthroat 200 yards down stream from your second night camp. It’s incredible that trout get that big in that small stream but they get bigger than that. The biggest I’ve caught in that drainage was 20” and I’m pretty sure I’ve had some bigger than 20 snap my line and not even give me a chance. One of my favorite places on earth.
Strong, beautiful cutts! Incredible streams
Beautiful stream.. dream to everyone fly fisher . Good size and very good fighters.
The Idaho portion of this trip is crazy good imo!
Beautiful!
Silence is golden. Absolutely gorgeous creek, I loved the rock formations around you. Thanks for taking us to Idaho, thats one state I would really love to explore.
Streams like this tell their own story!
Like so many, I love your videos…and you catch fish wherever you go, so good on you.
But please spend a little more time showing your fans your fly set up…
We’re always happy to learn from a good angler
Cheers!
Thank you. I try to show them every few videos. The dry is my top shelf hopper...shown it many times. The dropper was a perdigon and a flash wing caddis I showed about 3 vids back. Also got a video on here that talks about the only flies you need out west...still all I use 90% of the time.
Awesome!!! 🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾👍👍👍😃
Thank u!
Welcome back to ID sir. You are very good at not burning your spots, I can always generally guess the part of the state but have yet to recognize an exact location.
Idaho is one of my favorite states and I'd hate for any of my vids to damage those special areas. Plus I'm selfish and kinda want them to be like they are now after driving 26 hrs to fish them lol!
@@LooknFishy Respect this a lot! We had a UA-cam guy from MN come ti CT and he blatantly showed some prime trout water I've been fishing since I was a kid. Major cringe.
Wow beautiful, that creek is producing some real tanks ! Very nice !
Nice surprise for sure!
Happy Holidays 🎣
Monster trout
thats a heck of a stream
Those cutthroat may be some of the biggest you’ve caught on this trip and your trip last year. I love your content
Definitely a great way to start another trip thru ID!
My definition of perfect!
Truth!
brilliant streams never get boring. nice stuff.
great fishing. i appreciate it.
Thanks dude! Always appreciated!
Good one Drew!
Hey Drew interesting being so close to the road with many vehicles passing by you pulled out some really nice fat trout of this beautiful stream I noticed some deep narrow straits with different colored rocks really nice video.
The landscape was incredible...easy to get distracted here. Every turn had another postcard view!
Hey Drew I want to send you a custom-made beaver hat bomber style to keep your head warm in the winter unless you go to Florida and spend your time there during the cold months
@@LooknFishy you look like a size medium
Stunning water
No doubt!
Fly fished Idaho quite a bit. Stanley, ID is one of my favorite bases to launch for fishing/camping trips. Been around there?
I love your videos and the streams you fish. And I like how you show the fish you catch. If I could make a suggestion...tell us the size of some fish...not every one. The third fish caught in this video looked very big for a creek this size. I'd guess it was 14" or 15". You deserve bragging rights when you catch nice trout
Thank u! I've learned to avoid mentioning sizes...if I say it's big or large or huge...someone will disagree....every time lol! I've seen people argue over what someone called a 16" fish or a wild/stocked fish. So I just show them and let the fish tell its story!
I get it that some people will bicker about the size of a fish, but one of those cuties looked like it was close to 18". Its disappointing as a viewer to guess based on your hand size and how you are holding it. Catching large trout in streams is awesome...go with the awesomeness4
Beautiful spot nice fish not much more you can ask for
Nope, that's pretty much it!
Hi Drew, did you use sometimes a 2 nuymph beneath your dry dropper.?
Love the videos- I'm always amazed at what big fish you catch in such small streams... Also, what's the model Costa Sunglasses you wear? Thanks-
great videos - have you ever checked any streams for gold...
Some great trout and wow that cliff area is beautiful! Hard to beat small streams with big trout! I have some Maine Fly Fishing action going on over on my channel. You ever consider heading up that way for a trip? Out west is hard to beat though. I love it out there. Merry Christmas & Tightlines!
I'll check it out. I definitely want to visit Maine one day...just not sure how to drive there wo using the interstates which any time I've gone east...they are a nightmare!
Drew I love your videos. I was wondering what type of fly line do you use?
I've been really happy with SA amplitude infinity.
Drew, love the channel! You make some quality content. I was curious what your favorite creek/small stream rod is?
Man those were some healthy looking fish.
Product of their environment!
I love your videos!
Do you come across rattlesnakes in your quest for fishy spots?
"Kinda busy 2-3 cars have come by" l like your idea of busy!
Haha...my mind isn't right!
Quite the opposite, your endover to find the road less traveled or stream less fished is a inspiration to many of us...that we too can find that place if we look for it...
Do you like the orvis mirage Lt reels?had any issues with them?
Wow…. I assume you’re using bead head nymph dropper with no split shot for a stream w/that kinda flow (which in my mind is a perfect flow rate).
Yup, perdigons and the flash wing caddis I've shown a few times in the series. Nothing fancy...these cutts wanted to eat!
I really gotta start finding streams like this to go fish
Awesome video!!! The fish you released at 4:00, 6:20 and 12:00 really put up a fight!!! Some real beauties there!
Them some healthy cutties for sure!! and clear of inconsiderate campers this week for the win!
It was such a good day. The only campers I've ever met in Idaho asked if they could drop a tent and gifted me a super stream lol!
Awesome!!!
Thank u!
I’d have to agree. Although Seven Brothers lakes in Wyoming comes really close. Glacier feed lakes with huge trout.
I'll have to look those up!
Great video, thanks for sharing. What month were you there?
Started my road trip July 32, so this was near end of Aug.
Drew, did you find certain cutthroat subspecies fight harder than others? I think the westslope cutts do fight harder. I've also read that they are more surface fly oriented.
I dig the WS cutts...they definitely seem to be more aggressive. Seems like I can catch multiple from a hole...like the one in the video...even after a fish swims thru it trying to get free! I've even shown a fish from last year that broke me off and 10 mins later I caught it and got my fly back lol!
@@LooknFishy I fish a place with larger WS cutts and they are aggressive for sure.
Does he ever say where it was?I didn't want to spend the whole video waiting to find out
Today’s dry fly name = Shop Vac? Cuz you cleaned up!
Haha truth...those fish were very cooperative!
The hardest fighting fish of your trips so far? Your following some of them around. Neat!
Can I use that as a name for one of the flies I’ve created? lol
That emerald green water does it for me
Of course you don't want to say where your stream is, but what general of Idaho are you?
Nice Westslope! Northern Idaho I take it?
Ugh. I live in Idaho. Stop telling people! :)
Hate to break it to you, but outdoors writers been talking about Idaho, Wyoming…since about 1880. At least he’s not giving place names.
@@peredavi I wish he would. I would like to know where this creek is...approximately.
Drew,
I'm a proud Idahoan... and I'd appreciate less publisity. People just don't know the quality fishing we offer. It's guys like you who make us look good. The Gem State offers more than just shiny rocks. Fish California more!
Drew, you need to get to the headwaters on the Wind River. Do your thing and just caption " Beautiful river in Wyoming" and let it rip.
I like that plan!
I'd like to make a trip to Idaho. I'm a newbie but I do have an 8'6" 4 WT hope the brand doesn't matter I have a Cortland. I haven't figured out how to sleep in my Tundra yet it's only got a 5.5' bed I'd need a tent I think.
I heard some guys like a BBW but I see others like a BBT !!
Fish don't care about brands! My Nissan has a 5.5ft bed. I was able to sleep in it for 7 straight weeks last summer if I stayed more diagonal. But that's why I upgraded to my Chevy with a 72 inch bed and it's definitely better.
Great fish around the 6 min mark
Stream had some quality fish for sure!
What is the closest town to this creek?
I love all of Drew's videos except this one, I live in Idaho....and it's ugly as hell here. The fishing sucks and I would definitely fish in Montana or North Dakota before Idaho!
GeeZ!!!
Where in Idaho are you fishing?
Hey Drew - are you no longer on FB Messenger?
I'm still on it...but went just now to see what was up and it won't load...so who knows what's up with it.
@@LooknFishy No worries - shot you an email instead.
We caught Brook Trout
You usually land 'em pretty quick, Drew... But these cuts were NOT having it
Nope these dudes had a healthy not today attitude!
Surprised not to see the first comment be “thanks for coming to Idaho, now tell everyone we are full and don’t come back”
We are full. Don’t come back.
@@NoName-rg3np I live in the US and pay my taxes. I will live and go where ever I please. You’re welcome for supporting your economy and paying out the wazzu for an out of state fishing license for the year. Without people like us your state would collapse
The old 3wt stream with 5wt fish.
Why I bring the 4wt on unknown streams like this and several others coming up in the series!
It looks a lot like Oregon except here we don't have Nazi's, just a ton of great big trout, salmon and occasionally an 8 foot Sturgeon
Just keep adding to mass of people wanting to come here….
It's a big state and he's not hotspotting.
This is why people come to are state (California)
It's amazing!
ever eat the fish you catch?
I've lived in Idaho 17 years and have been lucky enough to explore many gin-clear productive streams. It really is a thrill. This video is fish porn at its finest.
I'm not watching his channel again.He doesn't say where he is.Or show the lures
He’s trying not to blow up the spot
Get on google maps and start looking for blue lines. AllTrails is great for finding trails and parking
I think he fishes mostly hopper dropper with a perdigon underneath
And if you look real close you'll notice a Californian behind every tree.
So uhhhhh you got a name for this creek or some GPS coordinates? Ive got some patreon $ for you :) :)
Haha...I can give you some coordinates but my decoder ring cost 1 million!
@@LooknFishy lol, a million dollar stream. How about this...was that a tributary of the Salmon, the St Joe, or the CDA river? Seriously love the videos! I look forward to a the new one every week and am going back and watching your last trip all over again. My wife loves fishing too so I show her all your videos to convince her to let us move to Idaho (or MT)
Too bad he won't even give up a small amount on what river he is on 'i don't mind looking at maps for good spots but ya need a small spot to start ' if you are from out of state and travel thst far to fish.
Comment
All this water sucks now. It’s full of mud and flesh eating fungus. No trout and mosquitoes bigger than you find in Alaska. Don’t waste your time.
