A backpack fishing trip into Yellowstone National Park's Snake River. Great fishing, great scenery and lots of wildlife including a couple grizzlies that were in my camping area. Very few people fish this part of the Snake River.

Beautiful country, water, and fish. Seeing those grizzlies would've been sweet!
Thank you. We’re going to do just this in August. Glad I found your video. I just love your excitement! Thanks.
Me an my family will be hiking in the back country along this river to camp and fish in September, I look forward to it
Awesome video! I'm just curious as to which backcountry campsite you stayed at?
love the video the wildlife.......
This video is so cool and that massive cutty was a spectacular catch! I hope to someday go to Yellowstone and do the same!
One request if you do happen to read this! It would be awesome to see you cradle and wet your hands before handing the the trout. Your video probably gets a lot of views and showing the audience proper trout care through gentle handling would be amazing to see.
I did go through the comment section and read a few of the back and forth discussions on the net and handling. I agree with you that there isn’t a lot of supporting research showing negative effects of removing slime coating, but it doesn’t hurt to take those extra steps just for the possibility of it damaging such precious creatures!
So even if there isn’t a ton of evidence, I’d still recommend promoting gentle handling to not only please the larger audience at no expense, but also to leave an impression for the watchers who are new to fishing etiquette.
Thanks!
Idyllic... thanks for sharing
Interesting that only one of the Cutts you landed on film was a Fine-Spotted Snake River Cutt. All the rest were either Yellowstone Cutts or Westslope Cutts.
Man that 18 incher was something. 😯
Do you have any tips for fishing thier during a cold front I leave tomorrow and it is not looking good.
If your going to fish for trout get a rubber net so you don't rub the slime coating of them and get your hands wet
Scientific studies do not support your concern. A published report from Hulbert and Engstrom-Heg (1980) on trout found that wetting your hands prior to handling them had no effect on fish mortality. Studies by Hegen et al. (1987) found the amount of handling of trout was independent of the mortality rate. Many studies have been conducted to determine what trout die of during the catch and release process. Exhaustion and oxygen depletion are the main factors. No study has ever found a released trout to have died of slime removal or skin infection. The manufacturers of those rubber nets don't want you to know this.
@@CoppersmithStudios1 it does have an effect weather or not your 1980s research sed so or not not wetting your hands can rub the slime off and make them prone to deases
@@cashavaritte7491 That is what you have been told. Give me a reason why I should believe your and not the scientific studies I have read: 1) Your source of information, 2) what % increase in disease, and what % increase in mortality from not wetting your hands. For example, the average C&R mortality rate for trout is 2.5%. However, Feguson and Tufts in 1992 determined that large trout such as an 8 pound steelhead that put up a long fight will experience up to 40% mortality levels if removed from the water for 30 seconds. It is a fact that driving a car can be deadly, but the odds of dying in a car crash is so low that no one worries about it.
Maybe this experiment could make you think again. FYI, ua-cam.com/video/a8VETvLLa0o/v-deo.html
I enjoyed your video. Thank you. I think you need to be more conscious of the way you handle fish before releasing them.
I don't know how it is these days but when I lived there 25 years ago.. If you couldn't catch them in the Snake up towards the headwaters you just aren't going to catch a fish ever in your life anywhere.
We'd pull trout out all day long. It was so easy it should be illegal.
Hope to go there someday. What lure combination were you using?
I was using mostly a 1/16th Mepps Bantom Syclops, a good spoon for that stream as it comes with the mandatory single hook and sinks very slowly, along with a #10 beadhead black woolly bugger 18" behind. As usual the fly caught the most fish. See my DVD How to Fly Fish with a Spinning Rod for all the details on this productive angling method.
I am planning to fish the Snake this summer and I am looking for a good backcountry site. Any recommendations? How far in do you have to hike in to find good fishing spots?
I don't claim to know the whole river, but generally most of the fishing pressure is within a mile of the access point and I would assume all of the back country campsites near the river offer good fishing.
@@CoppersmithStudios1 Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I have reserved a site about 5 miles back so hopefully we get into some fish!
Your fish handling and net choices are well below average. Cmon man. I enjoy your videos but try and do better.
