Having grown up in the Pac NW, I love this channel. It is great to see someone doing all the things I did growing up. Steelhead where I grew up were hard as hell to land, masters of spitting the hook.
Amazing video as usual. Makes me wanna go out and fish and just explore the nature. If you are in a bad mood, it is impossible to stay in that mood after watching your videos.
I knew you were on the Wilson!!! (Confirmed since you advertised the lodge) I recognized that highway and the house you were staying at. I had no idea it was a lodge! I spend a lot of time exploring the Wilson River (on my way to forage and cook at the coast 🦀🖤) and have always admired the location of that house as I drive by. That's so rad. I wasn't raised getting chances to fish and forage so I've spent the past couple of years teaching myself how. It hasn't always felt very accessible to me as a queer woman that didn't grow up with it -- your videos have been a wonderful resource and I appreciate you so much, Leif!
Hey at least your out there and doing it now despite the lack of past opportunities, I grew up in south Florida ten miles from the coast and would fish all the time growing up out in the gulf or just go for a walk down my street to fish the canals, swam with Goliath Grouper and swarms of sharks and had alligators steal plenty of my catches. Once I was sixteen and was legally required to have a fishing license but didn't have my ID or DL I just kinda fell out of love with fishing for the typical 16 year old rebellion activities and teenage angst, and haven't had an urge to fish again until I discovered Lief's channel some months back (don't remember the I before e spelling rules, sorry if I butchered that especially since it's not a common name in English) same with my parents but more so due to the economy and them having to both work full time to support my sisters and I way back then, especially after they had to sell our boat. I'm still living with them these days, but ive hijacked the smart TV with youtube to watch these videos and have helped NWFS even inspire them to get back into fishing as he did with myself. They get a nostalgic kick out of his excitement when he'd get a nibble, and now my mom is begging my dad and I to go and all get our fishing licenses this weekend lol. Happy foraging n' may you have tight lines and "screeminreelz" for days (
Man I don’t know how you don’t have more subscribers, you’re for sure one of the best fishing channels to watch plus your attitude is amazing and your laugh is very contagious! Keep up the great content!
I have to say that, I’m a soldier in the IL army, I found you channel on a very lonely night and I can tell you that your channel is throwing me to the time I was traveling and for 30 min I can get lost on my mind forgetting where I’m , so thank you , love from israel🇮🇱
The quality of NWFS content is so amazing. You can really tell how much effort he has put into it. NWFS you are doing a really good job. Keep up the work.
Awesome content! Good to see other UA-camrs together! I live on the east side of Washington over here on the bank of lake Roosevelt.the mountains here have been calling to me also! Have a wonderful time this year keep the line tight and the adventure fun
Those are some enormous trout! NWFS is amazing and love how the quality is and how the other people respect NWFS. I have watched NWFS for more than 2 years now and have been a subscriber since 2020.
Finally...another video. Enjoyed it brother... that was awesome. Really looking forward to your high mountain camping/fishing adventures. Brings back memories of hiking about a 35 mile 3 day high lake fishing/camping trip in the Oregon Cascade Mountain range. Just me and a friend. We were both 16 years old. We just ate freeze dried food and the fish we caught. When we hiked out my dad picked us up at prearranged spot. 1972...no cell phones. Can't believe our parents let us do it alone. It was great, and so are your videos!
Thank you for showing us "how to" in all your videos. I just caught my first trout a couple weeks ago, and I would not have know how to "clean & cook" if it wasn't for you (even gave you a shout out in my video), your the best Leif!
FINALLY! Someone who gets it. Never take a fish's head out of water if you are not keeping it. A fish fights for it's life and then people take it out of water. IT CAN"T BREATHE when out of water. Thank you and you just earned a subscriber.
Awesome video. Saw this video just after Addicted had their video of this trip, this is what brought me to your channel. Haven't stopped watching since. FISH ON BABY!!!!
He has said in past videos that he doesn’t want these awesome spots to get overrun with people and ruin them. Especially if a fan tells him where a great spot is.
@@Chris-zp6eh pretty much nailed it. I wish I could share the spots(and used to), but as the channel grew it just wouldn’t be the right thing to do anymore. So I try to just show that the world is full of beautiful spots everywhere just waiting to be explored and enjoyed 🤙🏻 🎣
Dude I love your videos! I usually just watch and don’t like or subscribe but I want you to succeed and keep bringing me along with you on your adventures so I subscribed and like every video! Your like the Bob Ross of fishing I love it! You’re so awesome!
This has become my favorite UA-cam channel! Now I have to watch them all! I live in Illinois, 35 miles west of Chicago... mostly Smallmouth fishin here! Love your channel
Man, awesome channel. Love the biological accuracy and that you always talk about the regs and keeping our populations sustainable. Drift boating for steelies looks like a blast. Wish I was out fishing right now!
Awesome brother!! Fish on!! I finally got some fly fishing done this weekend at Williams Creek in CO..were from Farmington NM and enjoy the time out in the mountains!! Awesome fishing 🎣 I enjoyed your guy UA-cam video!! Fish on.
I bursted on laughing when he cut his pants just right when I mumbled to myself, "Huh, he's going to cut his pants on the left thigh..." (and rip!) 🤣 And yeah, the US indeed have breathtakingly beautiful countryside views...turquoise clear water and big delicious fish...man, what a wonderful life you got. Thanks for sharing your adventures, your friends are awesome!
Sweet you went with Jordan! Love there channel they have helped me out soo much latley! Much love to all you guys who make these videos I've landed probably 100 nice trout in the last 2 months and there's no way I would have done it or honed in my technique the way I have without you all! Doing so well Thinking by next year I am going to make some videos myself. Thanx again good will and God bless!
NWFS & Addicted Fishing = 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing video as usual. Makes me wanna go out and fish and just explore the nature. If you are in a bad mood, it is impossible to stay in that mood after watching your videos.
Thank you for enjoying the video and for the kind words man
Your laugh makes me come back for more! Thank you for your care and passion for the NW!

@@ryanfyfe8033 Leif listed the lodge and he has them linked in the bio so it's not exposing a river spot that they didn't intentionally advertise.

Great content buddy. You have a great attitude and I appreciate the the always kid friendly channel. My boys love you videos!!!
I appreciate the kind words! Definitely try to keep it family friendly 👍🏻 Say hi to the boys!
That's really cool that you got hooked up with addicted fishing guys right on
Steelhead are on my list of fish to catch, anyone want him to do some Sturgeon fishing?

The excitement between you and little! 👍I think he was barking "fish on baby!"
I enjoyed the video a lot. Those close ups of the silvery pinkish bright are priceless. A real beauty to gaze. Also the strong red colour of the meat…
The release on the native was absolutely beautiful.
The best part of the video is how excited the dog got when there was a fish on.
Let's go another awesome fishing video
I have to say that, I’m a soldier in the IL army, I found you channel on a very lonely night and I can tell you that your channel is throwing me to the time I was traveling and for 30 min I can get lost on my mind forgetting where I’m , so thank you , love from israel🇮🇱

The quality of NWFS content is so amazing. You can really tell how much effort he has put into it. NWFS you are doing a really good job. Keep up the work.
😮
No no
The dog is the best part of the video... smart enough to stare in the water looking for the fish everytime he says FISH ON!!
today’s gonna be a good day
Awesome content! Good to see other UA-camrs together! I live on the east side of Washington over here on the bank of lake Roosevelt.the mountains here have been calling to me also! Have a wonderful time this year keep the line tight and the adventure fun

That would be amazing.
Awesome video once again!
You and me both! Thanks! 👊🏻 🎣

You’re videos gives a grey day some light
8:20 I love how even the dog is barking in excitement at catching the fish lmao

No. I hate it.
The dog tried to take a bite on that beautiful trout 😂

Thanks man! Mountain vids are gonna be the most chill ever 👌🏼 🏕 🏔
Awesome video. Saw this video just after Addicted had their video of this trip, this is what brought me to your channel. Haven't stopped watching since. FISH ON BABY!!!!
Leif, one question. How come you never say where you're fishing in videos?
He has said in past videos that he doesn’t want these awesome spots to get overrun with people and ruin them. Especially if a fan tells him where a great spot is.
I kind of figured that was the case
@@Chris-zp6eh pretty much nailed it. I wish I could share the spots(and used to), but as the channel grew it just wouldn’t be the right thing to do anymore. So I try to just show that the world is full of beautiful spots everywhere just waiting to be explored and enjoyed 🤙🏻 🎣
