I've been keeping your videos rolling on the computer next to me while I've been tying next season's flies, waiting out these rainy off-season months here in Washington. Until then, I'm fishing vicariously through you, so please keep up the great work.
Pretty scenery & beautiful water. I like when you incorporate all aspects into your video - travel, camp, gear, and the fishing. And you like the solitude of smaller water. Best!
Getting my gear ready to head into the mountains bright and early tomorrow. I backpack about 8 miles in. Wild Browns , Rainbows and the occasional Brookie. Going to be a great weekend.
Just had to comment on how awesome your videos are. You have an uncanny ability to invite and enthrall your viewers into your surroundings and into your fishing! Always great content Sir! Appreciate all you do! Look forward to more. Take care Drew!
Thanks dude. Your videos are very good. I can’t fly fish for trout here in Illinois. Wish I could go catch a trout someday other than the once a year stocked rainbow and the very rare native brook trout. Here in Illinois, we have some native brook trout in the central part of the state but their range says that they are East in Iowa and north in Wisconsin
Brookies are my favorite to catch I caught them from Minnesota to South Carolina to Maine I guess I'm a Char fishermen. They're really the native Inland fish would love to catch more bull trout. And maybe one day fly fish for lake trout in Northern Canada's big Rivers. That would fill the bucket of my list.....
Great series. I love watching you on the water. You never fight the water. Plus it is classic Drew to watch you stand back at about 25 30 feet throw a darts then a great mend. Fly never seems to move on it’s drift . 😂 You have a lot different water in your videos that makes them pretty cool. Curious to see where you take us in the fall. Didn’t here much “ Hey Bear” this trip.
@@LooknFishy I asked you that cause i recently watched a guy who survived 2 times from a grizzly attack (tell me if you want the link ) and it convinced me that a pepper spray is definitely useless btw the guy was either stupid or too shocked but you don't want to hesitate with a bear evenless with 2 cobs !
Love the videos Drew. You make it look so easy. Not just catching the amazing fish but able to do it on camera in focus. Awesome. Quick question: I want to do a similar trip to Colorado camping in car short hikes to fishing spots. What is a good resource for where to go for good fishing, safe camping and not many people? I don't have a ton of vacation time so aimlessly driving around just won't work. Thanks
Thank you kindly! So I wish there were just one or even a few sources that I could point you to. But honestly, I use everything from social media, friends, maps, blogs, hiking websites and just start reading and taking notes. For example, I spent 4 hours last night reading a guys blog and got 3 stream names that I'll dig more up on tonight. The names weren't listed...one post was about terrible fishing but in it he mentioned a plan B and good fishing on another stream. To get started, pick an area and just look at the blue lines...get names and google them to see if any thing comes up...there are time I might be on the 10th page before I find something of value. It probably helps I don't have another hobby, don't watch TV or anything else really...I like reading about fishing lol!
Recently found your channel and really enjoy your content! Have you ever gone fishing for golden trout or have plans to make a video fishing for them in the future?
I haven't but definitely want to make that trip happen one day and there would absolutley be a video. Lots of ideas on backpacking in trips that I'm researching now!
My usual recommendation is the orvis encounter...still got the one I bought when I got into salt about 8 yrs ago! Just be aware it doesn't come with a warranty. Rod, reel, line and case for ~ 200.
I would start with a 5wt 8’5” or 9’ medium action. Floating line until you get use to casting, then move to wf (weight forward) lines to cast bigger flies and further. Reels buy what you can afford. Pretty good cheap stuff on amazon. Good fishing.
I've fished western Wyoming but not the bighorns. You've got me and a buddy inspired to go there next August. I can't tell from watching this entire series, but were you camping or driving from a cabin or basecamp somewhere?
Love the small mountain streams! If you make it back to WI's driftless, shoot me a message. I have a small cabin above the WF of the Kickapoo. Could show you some great small streams.
@@leetreado3801 pretty often...trying to get 1 week/ month. Have gone to NM, Co for 2 weeks, WY 2 weeks. Just got home from the driftless. Lots of trips to southeast LA for redfish, and other close by states...I stay busy lol!
Drew LooknFishy have you run into anyone yet on your trips that recognizes you from your UA-cam and social media accounts? Just curious since you are getting so popular.
@@LooknFishy make sure you bring your bear spray Drew, very high concentration of black bears in GSMNP. I can’t get enough of your Wyoming series, used to fish Wyoming a lot when I lived out west
Hi, I'm from China. I like your video very much. If you don't mind, I'd like to share your video on Chinese video websites, because youtobe is forbidden in China. Of course, I will indicate the source of the video. I'm looking forward to your approval.

Great memories of that area when I was stationed in Cheyenne in the mid-90s. Bless you Drew.
That's awesome! Glad to bring those back to the front!
Pocket picking alone on a small stream is 'good Medicine.'
Saved the wyoming series to watch until now, what an amazing adventure! All the videos from there were 10/10 dude.
Haha, thanks man glad u liked the series!
Nice. I love them Brook Trout too.
They really are a good time. Good thing they don't get big as sharks or we'd all be in trouble lol!
Absolute mastery of the bow and arrow cast. Nice work, Drew!
Its fun to use it every so often! Thank u much!

Sounds like the perfect way to kill the time between seasons lol!
Pretty scenery & beautiful water. I like when you incorporate all aspects into your video - travel, camp, gear, and the fishing. And you like the solitude of smaller water. Best!
Thank u...definitely trying to capture the entire experience in each video.

Sounds incredible!
Another great clip. Thx Drew, appreciate your realism and how you so love the fishing and Mother nature too.
Appreciate it, gotta be me!
Just had to comment on how awesome your videos are. You have an uncanny ability to invite and enthrall your viewers into your surroundings and into your fishing! Always great content Sir! Appreciate all you do! Look forward to more. Take care Drew!
Really great to hear it! It's awesome I can just be me and not need to play a role lol! Thanks for the good vibes!
Well done. Excellent series. Thanks for sharing!
So awesome to hear it. Can't wait to plan and share another adventure!
Hey Drew, another great video mate, what a beautiful little stream and amazing scenery, that's my kind of fishing. Keep up the good work, tight lines.
Thanks dude, gonna do my best!
Drew, great WY series ! Thanks for sharing the videos; really enjoyed the great stream sceneries and beautiful trouts .
Thank u for saying...looking forward to traveling and sharing more adventures!
Wonderful place!!! Amazing views!!
Was an incredible place and adventure, can't wait for more like it...if possible!
Beautiful creek, gorgeous scenery, and stunning fish! Great find!
Thanks...Definitely was a good time and a total surprise!
Really enjoyed the Wyoming series, was up there last month, couldn’t get enough. Big Horn National Forest.
Haha, that's when I was there...you don't drive a blue chevy silverdo, do you lol!
Drew LooknFishy You might want to remove that comment Drew!
Drew LooknFishy if you saw me , it would have been on a quad, Leigh Creek, Canyon Creek, Powder Creek area, outside of Tensleep
The Green up near Cora was pretty productive back in mid August.
really nice video. Those brook trout were fantastically colored. Love dark ones like that.
Same here, those old souls!
Brooks Bows and wyoming! Thx for sharing these good videos.
Was a great time indeed! Happy to do it

U definitely want to check out the next series in the driftless...u got some world class, wild trout in your backyard!

Heavens landscape ! Very tiny creek but still trouts inside ! how many rounds do you have in your gun ?
Definitely...6!

Drew LooknFishy Thanks buddy. I got plenty of time to do research for next summer. 👍
@@benfarmer6941 exactly what I'm doing now also lol!
Great video collection on Wyoming. Mostly in the Bighorns?
Nope in the southern part too!
Hey man you should consider Pennsylvania for wild trout in small streams if you haven't already!
Definitely have and will be out there...hoping this spring but I don't plan that far lol!
Hope this is not a dumb question. What is the canister looking object on your shoulder. Great videos and enjoy watching them.
Nah, not dumb...actually get asked almost on every vid. Just my tippet ring...normally on my waist pack but attach it to my backpack for hiking trips!
Awesome video, always enjoyable to watch. Makes me jealous that I can’t fish in Wyoming😂
Thx dude...you can't...live across the pond and on a no fly list lol!
Enjoyed what rod you using
Thank u, orvis superfine carbon 7.5' 3wt!

finesse!! what flies were you using on these little guys?
Sz 16 foam ant!
Nice. That is some thin lookin water
Was definitely low which is why I chose to chase brookies and not cutts, browns or bows...was hard finding good water the last few days.
Been following you on Insta. Just subbed here. Thanks for sharing!
Thank u! Didn't have the bandwidth before covid to do yt...so ig was my thing. Definitely digging the ability to add more to the story!
Hey! pretty new to the channel, but I was wondering if you have any reccomandations on starter fly combos on a budget
My usual recommendation is the orvis encounter...still got the one I bought when I got into salt about 8 yrs ago! Just be aware it doesn't come with a warranty. Rod, reel, line and case for ~ 200.

I've found some "used once" gear on Craigslist that was definitely worth it at a fraction of retail cost.
I've fished western Wyoming but not the bighorns. You've got me and a buddy inspired to go there next August. I can't tell from watching this entire series, but were you camping or driving from a cabin or basecamp somewhere?
I dispersed camped in my truck at each access. Moved too much to set up a tent...so I curled up in the back seat!
good stuff. in a small stream like this... are you spotting these fish first or just targeting the types of water that look fishy?
I keep an eye out for rises but mostly hitting the likely spots...undercuts, pockets, shade, wood etc.
Drew, what pack are you using.
It's just an old ozarktrail backpack. Nothing special about it, except that it was like $20.
Is that the sound of a Battenkill reel?
The clicking noise is for sure!
Great video! 22 hour drive ... do you live on the East Coast?
Really appreciate it, live in AR!
Is this a public national forest?
Yes sir!
Do you ever use fiberglass rods?
I have a EC featherlite 5wt that's fun to use every now and then!
@@LooknFishy right on.
Love the small mountain streams! If you make it back to WI's driftless, shoot me a message. I have a small cabin above the WF of the Kickapoo. Could show you some great small streams.
Haha, dang it. Got back over the weekend. Will reach out next time!
Since Drew can’t make it, I’ll take you up on the offer, Eric! 😀
Thanks for the ride Drew. Which state are you from?
The mail comes to AR!
@@LooknFishy How often do you get to make a fishing trip like WY ?
@@leetreado3801 pretty often...trying to get 1 week/ month. Have gone to NM, Co for 2 weeks, WY 2 weeks. Just got home from the driftless. Lots of trips to southeast LA for redfish, and other close by states...I stay busy lol!
Really makes me want to send it and head west to fish, hate to say it, but I am craving something other than appalachian brookies.
I definitely get that. Visiting new areas is so cool, almost dig the travel as much as the fishing!
What camera do you use? Love the content!
Thank u much. Upgraded to gopro hero8 in June. Very happy with it!
I like all the videos but really enjoy the ones without the music bed.
Yes sir, heard that before. Just the sounds of the day now!
Was this WY trip your favorite trout trip so far? Looked amazing
Yep, definitely was! Truly an amazing place...the scenery, fishery and every single person I ran into were the best! So friendly and inviting!
Drew LooknFishy have you run into anyone yet on your trips that recognizes you from your UA-cam and social media accounts? Just curious since you are getting so popular.
Not that I'm aware of!
Those brookies were Beautiful! I love chasing them in the Tennessee mountains.
Hoping to make it out to gsmnp real soon. Was suppose to in April but they shut the park down lol! Really want to backpack in and stay a few nights!
@@LooknFishy make sure you bring your bear spray Drew, very high concentration of black bears in GSMNP. I can’t get enough of your Wyoming series, used to fish Wyoming a lot when I lived out west
Dude, I thought there was a fire around you.
Ha, trust me chasing brook trout in Wyoming was like plan Z lol! But still a good time!
Drew LooknFishy why don’t you go to the mile or Fremont canyon? Pick up some good fish now.
@@joshreed7102 crowds! Got them on the lost for one day!
