Thank you! I take that stuff very seriously. I’m thankful to Mark for being teachable even with all the fishing he’s done. That can be a tough dynamic for us professionals when folks get in our boat with the mindset of having nothin left to learn. I have a lot to learn still and I make a point of learning something new everyday on the water. It’s getting harder to do so every year. However I still see natural phenomena almost everyday. If I was not looking for it, I might miss it! Tight Lines!! 🙏🏻 @ropinhogs
I guided for TVL back in 2004. They’re the best guides I’ve ever seen and mr fuego Chris Scott is one of the best flat out fisherman I’ve ever seen. I watched him catch this giant cutty on the snake that was sun bleached to a light tan color. If your a fisherman and you want a day of flat out catching fish this is the spot and mr Scott is the man LETEM RUN. This video has brought back some amazing memories. The way TVL guide are trained to row the boat is brutal for the first few weeks but after you get use to it and see the amount of fish you can boat just by putting in work is amazing. This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time
I am a guide in NJ we have a few decent waterways, pequest, south branch, musky, over the years i started to fly fish for Stripers and blues and was hooked pretty quick, bouncing from Jettys to the beach and trout fell on the backside for a few years. As i moved up to north Jersey it was back to trout, were mainly using small flies 18, 20s and 22s, after opening day we used 16s and 12s for the stocked bows, they love white leg woolly Boogers lol .After the years i soon realize i enjoy just as much watching people i guide catch there first fish or see them finally get that ticking on the bottom where those nymphs need to be and watching that line go straight. You cant teach this, the excitement is real from the start of the journey to the tying of the fly and casting to that rising fish, it must all come together and when it does its awesome.
I guided for a few years in Wyoming and Colorado. Chris really had some unique approaches, and this video was fun to watch. His netting technique was just how I learned to do it in the fast waters out West. Fast plunging motion to get net under the fish, then lift. Doesn't give them time to see the net coming and react. Good techniques, solid results, and beautiful scenery and fish!
Sight fishing on smooth, clear water like this is an absolute favorite for me. Yellowstone is such a tremendous resource for us fly fishers with such a variety of water. There are many hike-in creeks we fish there that can’t be beat for quality fishing and incredible scenery. Thanks for the entertaining video Mark. Very well done.
It's refreshing to see the guide and hear his knowledge as the focus of this episode (a great guide at that). I've been discouraged to keep watching this show in the past because it's painful to watch the guides silently stand by while the host does all the talking. The guides make it all happen and it's important to hear and respect what they have to say. Great show.
Thanks for your feedback. You should know that we do try and get the guides involved in almost every show but often they are reluctant to speak on camera. Some are shy or afraid to respond to questions. So when we do get one that engages with the camera, we let them have at it. We genuinely want the guides to teach others much more than us. Great observation, again, thanks for the feedback
That dry fly at the end of a nymph rig was next-level! I don't think I'm gonna try that at home, but that was very cool. It's always fun to impress your guide. I've had the privilege of doing that a grand total of one time LOL.
As an avid fly fisher from Scotland, this looks the dream! The colours on those Cutthroat trout are incredible. Maybe, just maybe some day.......... :)
Ohhhhhh Damn!! That’s quite the compliment dude! Thank you. I think that keeping engaged with tying new flies to try everyday helps me continue to progress. Cheers
Watching, green with envy from a locked down UK. I would love to come to the US and fish some of your beautiful rivers. I completed Royal Marines basic training in 89/90. My Tp Sergeant was a USMC Gunnery Sergeant. Oliver Tilley. I seem to recall he was a fly fisherman, but having little interest in fishing it was of no relevance. Well, I certainly have now. Gunny, if you happen to read this comment, please drop me a line (no pun intended).
Sorry I missed the live feed. Both my parents families are from the Teton Valley, I spent every summer growing up at my grandparents home in Driggs, my grandfather fished the teton river his entire life, we used to be able to access the river anywhere we wanted, those days are long gone and the area is filled with summer homes for people with more money than they know what to do with, but not enough to live across the mountain in Jackson. Fishing used to be excellent anywhere along the Teton River and in the fall a short trip to star valley and the Afton area we fished for big browns in the salt river, again, access was no problem 60 plus years ago. I made a trip to fish for browns there a few years back and it was fun, caught some nice fish but not the same as it used to be. We still have a family reunion every year up on Fred's mountain, named after my great grandfather who owned the timber rights to the entire Teton range along with several thousand acres, now there is a ski resort up there, its not the same either, I played, camped, and fished all over that country wherever I wanted and had a blast growing up there. While I hate to see all of the change the area has seen over the years it is nice to see people can still fish the river and enjoy the same things I did as a kid. Thanks for the videos and information, brought back some great memories.
I moved to Teton Valley in 1987 and fished that river a bunch of times, including fishing behind the Lodge. In fact I knew the owners of the Lodge (John Pehrson and Randy Berry). One year, Randy gave me a fly tying kit and free fly tying lessons. I don’t live the valley now, but the fishing is a reason I go back.
That’s really cool that you had the experience of meeting Randy and John. I’m very grateful to have been trained and mentored by those boys. It’s not over yet too! I often have the privilege of spending evenings on the Teton with John Pearson after we get done guiding. I dropped the ego right off the bat and asked them for help. And I got it. Thankful to still have opportunities to ask him and other OGs very specific questions. The answers to which I know won’t come from a better source. 🙏🏻 Come fish with me some time. Cheers
In the spirit of constantly pushing the possibilities of trout habitat, I have been pondering creating stonefly habitat in some of the man made spring creeks we build. Thanks for the aerial views in these videos. They gave me some new insights to make this happen! Now I may be able to have a personal salmonfly hatch! Thanks!
@@hectatusbreakfastus6106 yeah man. I usually suggest a mid flex 6wt for everything we do. For the teton flatwater that you saw there we need to be able to pick up quite a bit of line quickly, from a seated position too. Also fish can be very large, often diving into the submerged grass. Plus it gets windy. Like I tell my clients, the only reason I might go with a 5wt is if that person has their own 5 and practice with it a lot. Cheers
Loved this video! Thanks for making and sharing it.I can’t believe you dropped that raft off a cliff. Nice work bringing in those big fish. Just curious when this was in case I make a trip to the Tetons.
Awesome video , great terrain, i would love to come to the states and fly fish, im from new zealand, the fish here are pretty big compared to the ones in your video, you should come try our waters.
If you ever make it here, try Michigan. The World record brown trout came from a river here. I've fished dozens of said River's tributaries, all on public land, and have caught BIG browns in all of them. It's truly prolific here. There are more miles of blue ribbon trout streams than any man could ever fish in four lifetimes. P.S. Don't forget about the brook trout! Caught a 20 incher on super skinny water last Spring 🎣
Wonderful video thank you. Can I ask why you don’t use barbless hooks if the fish are being returned. I see you want to release them quickly but before that there is hell of a lot of squeezing and tugging to get the fly out. Best wishes John from Scotland 🏴
Teton Valley Lodge and Fly Shop looks like the perfect place to start a great float trip on the Teton. See you in the spring! Mark and Chris are making it hurt to wait until then. 😎
Nice video one question what weight rod are you fishing. In Montana / Idaho on big water most of us use 5 or 6 weight. It looks like your fishing a 7....?
Awesome! I love Idaho. I caught my very first ever rainbow trout there. Although on the west side of the snake river valley, downstream of the Mackay Reservoir near Mount Borah.
Are those hybrid cutbows a result of introduced rainbows breeding with and diluting the native cutthroat strain? Could they cause problems in the future with maintaining the native species?
@@newflyfisher thanks for the reply! That’s good news about the restoration programs, we have a similar problem in the Appalachians with introduced wild browns outcompeting the native brook trout in mountain streams, but as far as I know hybridization hasn’t been an issue!
I hope it works for your waters up there. I live in Utah and our D.W.R. (Division of Wildlife Resources) killed (chemically poisoned) one of our best cutthroat and brook trout lakes Strawberry Reservoir in 1990 due to the chub population. After replanting it with cutthroat, rainbows, and I believe Tiger trout as well, also and adding kokanee salmon the chub population is as overwhelming as ever. The brook trout that were in the water before the poisoning was never introduced back into Strawberry. The second of our larger lakes Deer Creek now has walleye in it which some prick introduced couple decades ago. Killed off the perch population causing a food supply shortage for the native species in that lake. I don't understand why people do stuff like that. I wish your waters the best of luck. The river looks beautiful.
Your cuts are a bit different colour than those you're catching. Ours are much darker green and the pattern of the spots are different being more dense over the entire length of the body. They are not cutbows and they are not browns. I don't know if this happens with yours, but in the spring when they are doing their spawning run, their gill flaps and the orange on their throats get a really brilliant orange. After spawning, they return to their usual colour pattern.
Great fishing here if you know where to go but keep it a secret, and hire a guide at first for sure. I live and fish here, and what you newbies should know is that from Bates Bridge downstream to Harrops Bridge (by Rt. 33 near Tetonia heading towards Rexburg) during the summer, there are a zillow folks on SUPs, tubes and other floaty things, which can really get in the way and scare your fish. Downstream of Harrops the river goes from class 1 to class 5 as it drops into the canyon, and the rattlesnakes will like you too. The lodge featured here is upstream of that, which is much less peopled. The South Fork is almost only drift/other boat fishing during the summer due to the high flows (20,000 CFS). Once it gets down to fall/winter flows (about 1,000 CFS) you can wade it, earlier in the year you could drown trying that (no kidding - the rocks there are really slick and very fast water). Again, you're best bet is to hire a guide; I'm not one but they're worth every penny around here. Please do visit but it's getting too expensive to live, relocate or buy here; costs will approach Jackson prices soon.
@@nizzlebiatch You need to get real. There is nothing more irritating and arrogant than tourists that think without their money and presence a peaceful and tranquil place will wither up and turn into nothing. Every lodge, guide, and outfitter help clog our rivers and take advantage of a PUBLIC resource for monetary selfishness.
@@snowairwaves7 And to prove your point. I just bought a house July 2020, and the broker keeps calling asking me to put it back on the market for an instant profit of 500K or better (approaching Jackson prices) (thank you gov Newsom). I can snowmobile to the lodge from my house in 40 seconds to give you an idea of where I am. Also true what others are saying about sun bathers downstream from the lodge in June, July, August, etc. Hardly fishable.
I am moveing to Idaho falls from California so thank you for showing me all my new home has to offer I am a huge trout steelhead fisherman and I eat this stuff up!
Holy hell they couldn't have made a better promotional video than this right here. That was amazing and that guide was the boss!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We agree!
Probably one of the coolest guides I ever seen
Chris Scott is an awesome guide!
Looks like a 6wt fly rod or bigger with the fighting butt due to big water and big fish. Good to know.
Ooops! Yes you mentioned your equipment near the end.
This guide had some great tricks and a great attitude! Mark did a really nice job taking those techniques and landing fish. Great show! 🤗
Thank you! I take that stuff very seriously. I’m thankful to Mark for being teachable even with all the fishing he’s done. That can be a tough dynamic for us professionals when folks get in our boat with the mindset of having nothin left to learn. I have a lot to learn still and I make a point of learning something new everyday on the water. It’s getting harder to do so every year. However I still see natural phenomena almost everyday. If I was not looking for it, I might miss it! Tight Lines!! 🙏🏻 @ropinhogs
This may be one of the best fishing videos Ive seen in years...and Yes, I do know those waters...Gettin excited to return!
Wow, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!

This guide sounds like a spiritual guide. Seems like he's got some serious passion for his job. That is what your call success in life.
I've been going to Teton Valley Lodge since I was 19 years old. I'm 44 years old now. Love my Elder Berry's!
Chris’s fish handling skills are top tier. Looks like a great destination. Nice footage!
The best Flyfishing channel on youtube
Damn good show! Chris is a great addition to the episode. It's fun to watch a pro do their job to that level. Well done!

Hey Chris. Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like you have a unique perspective having guided yourself. I appreciate you man🙏🏻
Hells yeah 👍
Chris's enthusiasm was infectious! I'd love to fish with him.
He is totally awesome guide, strongly recommend him

I’m new to fly fishing and your guide is awesome with his knowledge of the fish and techniques. One day before I die I want a trip like that.
Watching those fish hit is so much fun!!
My first trout was caught in a trip to Teton Valley Lodge...fantastic experience. My job at the time, paid for the trip, couldn’t afford now.
The guide is like a fish Shaman!
Great video! great guide and gorgeous scenery. That monster brown @ 39:35 was amazing!
Great fishing! That one big brown towards the end what a beautiful fish. Great job to your guide great net skills
People dont realize how impressive that net job at 29:55 was... props to that guide hes a great one!
Probably because people dont think having another dude net your fish 50 feet away from you is that impressive. It is what it is.
The canyon is absolutely perfect. Thanks for the tips also
This by far is my most favorite video you guys have had. Great guide, great host, great trip....just awesome!!! Love every minute!!
Mark, some great moves fishing the Teton. Chris is like a surgeon which other guides could learn from.
Ohhhhhh Damn!! That’s quite the compliment dude! Thank you. I think that keeping engaged with tying new flies to try everyday helps me continue to progress. Cheers

Amazing days on the water...outstanding guide !
What a cool guide. MVP
We love Teton Valley , Idaho . We are going there in 2021 good Lord willing . We will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We can’t wait !
what a wonderful way to celebrate your 30th, have fun!
Man that last canyon launch was unreal!...kudos to one heck of a guide!
One of the best guides we've seen in 20 years of making this series, totally agree with your comment!
It's unbelievably beautiful down there! Thanks for the shoutout.
Great fly fishing place 👌
Thanks for sharing from Minnesota!
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video!
Absolutely awesome video 👍 your camera work is outstanding.
That flatwater portion at the beginning looked like serious fun, kinda like stalking bones. That guide is outstanding.

Oh man this makes me so homesick I'm born and raised in blackfoot idaho. But I've been living in Tbilisi Georgia/Europe great video!
Awesome trip Mark and a Great Guide nice work Chris .Super
nice footage from the camera guy 👍 👍🇺🇲🗽
The Vermonter
Love the new stuff! Super clear filming and an amazing area to fish! I love the HANK!
Glad you enjoyed!
Wow... !!! Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!
Great video! Awesome fish! Makes me want to get out on a western river.
Someone should hire Chris to run their lodge snd train guides. Guy is a legend
Very nice video.
I’m going there this summer for sure!!!!! Chris seems like a cool dude!
You know you have a good guide when he is more stoked than you about catching the fish.
What size rod is recommended there
@@edperry6199 Probably a 5 or 6, it's not Alaska :p
@@hectatusbreakfastus6106 it’s a 6 weight. That’s my boat in this vid. :-)
Yup. I’m glad that my ongoing enthusiasm shows! The day I’m no longer excited to guide, I’ll find another profession. 🙏🏻 Not happening soon
@@hectatusbreakfastus6106 yeah man. I usually suggest a mid flex 6wt for everything we do. For the teton flatwater that you saw there we need to be able to pick up quite a bit of line quickly, from a seated position too. Also fish can be very large, often diving into the submerged grass. Plus it gets windy. Like I tell my clients, the only reason I might go with a 5wt is if that person has their own 5 and practice with it a lot. Cheers
so nice video i like it very much ! thanks
You guys have the best jobs in the world!
Loved this video! Thanks for making and sharing it.I can’t believe you dropped that raft off a cliff. Nice work bringing in those big fish. Just curious when this was in case I make a trip to the Tetons.
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Such an excellent episode. Keep up the great work!
Thank you kindly!
Love it. Some of my favorite water.
Loved this video!! Great adventure, beautiful fish, and I learned so much!!
Great video thanks man!
Glad you liked it!
What an amazing trip!!!
Awesome video , great terrain, i would love to come to the states and fly fish, im from new zealand, the fish here are pretty big compared to the ones in your video, you should come try our waters.
Thanks for watching! Maybe someday we will come to NZ, appreciate the invite.
If you ever make it here, try Michigan. The World record brown trout came from a river here. I've fished dozens of said River's tributaries, all on public land, and have caught BIG browns in all of them. It's truly prolific here. There are more miles of blue ribbon trout streams than any man could ever fish in four lifetimes.
P.S. Don't forget about the brook trout! Caught a 20 incher on super skinny water last Spring 🎣
Looks like heaven to me!!!
Beautiful river and great looking fish. Just curious why you dont fish barbless?
We do now, thanks for asking
Heaven for anglers greetings from Indonesia
Wonderful video thank you. Can I ask why you don’t use barbless hooks if the fish are being returned. I see you want to release them quickly but before that there is hell of a lot of squeezing and tugging to get the fly out. Best wishes John from Scotland 🏴
Cool seeing local videos where I know exactly where they are by seeing the shot.
Awesome adventure 😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow 😲, Fantastic video Mark 🎣👍🎣. Beautiful rivers and, absolutely spectacular fishing. 👍👍
Thanks Andy! It truly is a special place.
Teton Valley Lodge and Fly Shop looks like the perfect place to start a great float trip on the Teton. See you in the spring! Mark and Chris are making it hurt to wait until then. 😎
awesome work! love the positive vibes here. cheers
You guys are awesome and very educational.
I have a trip planned with TVL next month. I've been thinking about the canyon section of the Teton
river. How hard was the hike out of the canyon?
Spot sungai Air jernih bersih ikanya banyak memang mantap untuk mancing ikan👍👍😍😍🙏🇮🇩
Nice video one question what weight rod are you fishing. In Montana / Idaho on big water most of us use 5 or 6 weight. It looks like your fishing a 7....?
Mark was using a six weight most of the time.
I like how you can see though fly fishing waters
Very good video
Thanks
Amazing and enjoying 👍
Thank you 👍
@@newflyfisher Welcome
The SF is a first class fishery. I am fortunate enough to get to fish it a few times each year.
Awesome! I love Idaho. I caught my very first ever rainbow trout there. Although on the west side of the snake river valley, downstream of the Mackay Reservoir near Mount Borah.
And by the way, I love that stretch of the South Fork of the Snake, but because it holds Peregrines!
Awesome job Mark. Your videos are great
I appreciate that!
I did that good on my 1 wt. Orvis fly rod.
Hey everyone I’m a new fly fisherman. My fly rod comes in tomorrow I got a 5wt 9ft rod is there any advice I can get? 👍🏼
Perfect rod for trout and bass, have fun with it!
@@newflyfisher would a 7 foot rod work as well.
What month of the year was it when you were fishing in this video
Are those hybrid cutbows a result of introduced rainbows breeding with and diluting the native cutthroat strain? Could they cause problems in the future with maintaining the native species?
Yes, there is a program to take hybrids and rainbows out of the system to help protect wild cutthroats.
@@newflyfisher thanks for the reply! That’s good news about the restoration programs, we have a similar problem in the Appalachians with introduced wild browns outcompeting the native brook trout in mountain streams, but as far as I know hybridization hasn’t been an issue!
@@newflyfisher Yeah but the program is for people to NOT release the hybrids which you guys do not do.
I hope it works for your waters up there. I live in Utah and our D.W.R.

I don't understand why people do stuff like that.

Your cuts are a bit different colour than those you're catching. Ours are much darker green and the pattern of the spots are different being more dense over the entire length of the body.

I don't know if this happens with yours, but in the spring when they are doing their spawning run, their gill flaps and the orange on their throats get a really brilliant orange. After spawning, they return to their usual colour pattern.

What's with scooping with the landing net? I was taught to keep the net still, in the water, and bring the fish to the net. Is this new?
👍👍👍...
Greeting one hobby... From indonesian.🙏

Aww yeah Idaho is a great place to be!
Last year was absolute Hell on the water with all the visitors. Thanks for exploiting it all once again

I've done well with traditional fishing and able to catch my limit and decided to switch to fly and bam I hooked myself twice.
I am moveing to Idaho falls from California so thank you for showing me all my new home has to offer I am a huge trout steelhead fisherman and I eat this stuff up!
Enjoy it, it's a beautiful place! Just tell your other California friends it's not as great as it looks, which it is ;)
