    That opening scene. Trout porpoising. Saw that on the Bighorn during a Trico spinner fall. 3 wt. rod. It's hard to but gotta hesitate a bit to set the hook. One of the most memorable fishing days of my life.

    Watching this video brings back a lot of fun memories. When I coal mining in Montana I would fish that river around 100 days a year. Wish I was still there

    I've spent a couple of days fishing with Pete. He runs a great operation and is not only a master at his craft but is also a great hang. I highly recommend you book a trip with him! Ill definitely be back!

    Rowing the boat one spring, there were almost no olives on the water. Then I saw a pod of fish feeding near the bank. Parked the boat and three of us got out to fish. There was only room for one person to cast, so we took turns. Five casts and then you had to give way to the next guy. We all caught fish. Then Ray was tying on a new fly when he knotted the leader around a bump on his tongue. Unable to speak clearly, we all started laughing so hard that we had to quit fishing until we managed to get Ray's tongue untied.

      @25falcons, I’ll run from indicator to swivel as a stopping point (w/weight above) about 7.5’. From there, 18-20” to each bug

      Love them... They are durable and super comfortable. The back support is a game changer in the waders. The jacket is stellar and has held up to all weather this season - from torrential downpours in the Sub Arctic to snowstorms in Chile..

    I don’t understand the whitefish hate. A native indicator species. Just unhook them and release them like normal, no need to toss them back and do whitefish backflips.

    If you need a guide to go fishing. You shouldn't be fishing. I grew up on the Bighorn. And you don't need a $1500 fly rod to catch fish

      I'll just buy a boat and haul up there from my house in Tijuana on the back of my road bike...
      I agree with the rod though as you don't need a high end rod, but if you could afford it, wouldn't you do it?
      i fish what I could afford and catch more fish than my friends with expensive setups but I'm pretty sure if I could afford it I would have a rack of expensive fly rods and a ridiculous amount of tackle boxes😂

      You don’t need a caddy to play golf. You don’t need $1500 driver. But you probably couldn’t afford the fee to play. Just have fun never getting better. 😂

      You do realize what channel you are watching, right? They promote fly shops and are sponsored by orvis. You think they are just gonna go out there and rough it and fish with $100 rods? They are showcasing the areas and products. Grow up
