Todd Moen @CatchMagazine The warm feelings inside from these videos should be appreciated by a larger audience. I’ve watched almost every video you’ve produced and each one is above and beyond the previous one. Phenomenal workmanship.
The complexion of the lower Columbia where I live is so much different than this. My 'home river' is the Deschutes. _It's where I charge my batteries._ I've always preferred river fishing over lakes. All of my senses come alive as I do my best to 'think like a fish'. Figuring out the best holding areas, feeding lanes, turning over rocks to see what they're feeding on, watching the surface for rises and bulges, etc. There's just so many things you get turned into. All the problems in life get crowed out.
We have a new client in this neighborhood. After seeing this, I am really looking forward to returning to fish this water. The genetics of these rainbows is pretty special.
Multiple small river-mouths flowing into that upper (US) section of the Columbia used to be populated with more easily accessed (no jet boat required) trout - and then walleye began to dominate these spots.
My old fly fishing tackle bamboo wood Rods by winston fly reels by house of hardy Orvixs made in England I fishing with them today I boite these old tackle fly fisher in 1960 😍😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I love fly fishing Every days all year
Don't know if you remember but I was going on that 2 month fishing road trip and wanted to say it went amazingly! caught 60 species and some nice trout on the fly as well on the South Holston in Tennessee. You should do a shoot there the scenery is incredible and your eye would capture it well! my goal for this steelhead season coming up in Ohio is to catch a fish on the swing
Nice! I fish LK Roosevelt just down river a lot! I've always wanted to fly fish the reservoir- I do troll flies for big trout there! It is great living very close. Thanks for this video!
I’ve been fishing the Kootenay for five years and it’s taken me 3 to finally get the hang of it and almost catch fish every time. I wish got a guide to show me the runs and techniques but at the same time I’m glad i did so I could fish my way and not copy some guide.
I do enjoy your work Mr. Moen but if I may rant for a second. Every time I see a person snip off a tag end of line and just let it fall wherever, I cringe. It takes 600 years or more for monofilament and fluorocarbon to decompose. It's just like hunting; police you brass, police your trash. Rant off.
Don't be afraid to educate/coach your fishing partners and pressure the Industry to start a campaign that touts responsible use of their products and keep our wild land and water clean and pure for generations to come.
Although I understand the point, is it not going a bit far when you see them driving a jet boat up a river making quite a lot more polution than that 1 inch of mono that for the rest won't do much to the enviroment? If possible I keep line with me and snip off as little as possible but still, there are things that are way more important to point out in this world.
pr0faker I put it to you then Mr. Faker what is more important than clean water? Your “there are bigger problems” attitude is precisely the reason nothing gets done. While yes I dislike the jet boat aspect as well, boats are here to stay. But policing your trash can easily become a real and impactful movement. I am old enough to remember what is was like here in the United States when our waterways and air were polluted on a massive scale. But a grass roots movement by citizens lead to the forming of the EPA. Slowly but surely our water and air improved. It is all connected. One small change can have great impact in good way and in bad ways as well. I choose good. Cheers
On my last guided trip to the Columbia River, my guide did the same thing. I made the cringe face. On my local rivers, I am constantly picking up mono and braid that were discarded as well when I find them.
Question : ?? .. Are these Resident Fish ...?? [ are they trapped in a Section of Rvr - with / No Access to Downstream Migratory Habit ...?? ] Are they late Summers / Pre Spawn ..??
These are resident native Red Band Rainbows. Technically they could migrate upriver or downriver from here a ways, but dams are an issue. Being residents though, this area really is their stronghold.
If you walk along the Columbia river, as I do often, as I fish it regularly, you can see old broken rods in the river. The banks along Trail, are littered with bags from Canadian Tire and Wal Mart. Even old reels, which I grab. Styrofoam worm containers, and miles, yes, miles of line. Each time I go out, I bring a grocery bag, up to a garbage bag full home. Timmy's cups,paper and plastic. Rotten Ronnie garbage. Old chairs are common now. Never mind the empty beer and cooler bottles. Yep, bottles. .. Empty beer cans by far outnumber the bottles, thankfully. You can sit on the rocks anywhere, and watch boaters as well as shore fishermen throw empty liquor bottles into the lakes and rivers. No evidence, no impaired charge I guess. I guess the difference between an angler, and someone who fishes is anglers bring garbage out with them. All our local fisheries are turning out more garbage than ever. I have even had my life threatened by supposed fishermen for telling them to take their garbage with them. So yep, times are changing. As#$oles outnumber good people everywhere now. Especially where access is easy...
I enjoyed the video and I appreciate the guides in this video but the message that Eddie Bauer is an outdoor store I cant buy..I worked for EB back in the days it was a valid outdoor store but they punted the image, the staff and their customers to go for mall stores and fashion clothing. The way I feel about it is EB you made your bed now you cant flip your preferences and expect us to come back to you..I will never buy from EB and havent for over 30 years!!
Good for him. I have watched a lot of fishing films and would prefer more river, more fishing and less talking. Some of the filming is utterly beautiful and I have my preferences, as I can tell you have yours.
Never showed her cast one time ! Cus she can't cast at all !!! Funny how you can put film together to make her look like she knows what she's doing ! Lol

Thanks. I appreciate that. Wish I could get the word out to more people! Sharing is the best way I think.
It's beautiful! Nice Video very good fishing
Thank you!
I love the Columbia river I have fished it all my life and have caught so many different species of fish from this river.

You guys have set the standard for a great video, and with water so close to our home base here in Spokane. Love it and keep it up!
Yeah, I'd never thought about it before, skiing and fishing are just so similar.
Very true… thanks for watching. Please share this one with your friends. Appreciate the support!
Great work! ... a real treat to watch! ... Congratulations! ... SALUT from Austria!

Thank goodness...I was beginning to think the good fishing was OVER five years ago. Not many recent posts.
Like Christmas morning anytime a long TM video comes up...

The fact that he gets so many dry fly take shots blows my mind
Muy hermosos paisajes

Well done Lel!

Thanks Danny!
Amazing video, thank you. Keep going on!

Cool video. Motoring up river with waders on but no life jackets doesn't seem like the best idea.
Excellent. How about a Kenai trip? Bings up to Skilak.
beautiful video
Thank you!
beautiful video ... I would like to know the soundtrack when Lel Tone gets on skis
Love it!
Good video. I already subscribed the channel. Congratulations

Obviously you don't understand Micro Plastics and the trouble they present to you. Or, you are just a troll/bot.
I was hoping this was about Columbia river carp
👍👍👍👍👍
You guys were the only fly guys and you fished right next to each other?
My home state!
Province?
Been there, done that. 😊
Good vid
😀🌷

Rainbow trout? the only 2 fish i go for are sea trout over 40cm and steelhead. Maybe monster cuttroat! but Rainbow trout are a dime a dozen.
Run along now, little troll. Nobody gives a damn what you fish for.

I agree

Hi Tony! Yes this is Jack Mitchell who owns The Evening Hatch in Washington State. One of the best outfitters around.
I enjoyed the video and I appreciate the guides in this video but the message that Eddie Bauer is an outdoor store I cant buy..I worked for EB back in the days it was a valid outdoor store but they punted the image, the staff and their customers to go for mall stores and fashion clothing. The way I feel about it is EB you made your bed now you cant flip your preferences and expect us to come back to you..I will never buy from EB and havent for over 30 years!!
I appreciate this feedback and your opinion. Thanks for watching!
More river. More fishing. Less talking.
Says the guy whose videos are just him talking
Yeah - but they aren't fishing videos 🤣🤣🤣
Todd Moen has some of the most widely acclaimed fishing videos in recent history.
Good for him. I have watched a lot of fishing films and would prefer more river, more fishing and less talking. Some of the filming is utterly beautiful and I have my preferences, as I can tell you have yours.
extraordinary coach by todd moen standards, this video actually includes quite a bit of fishing..lol
Look e flies catch inglés trouts & red fish in the rivers only in England
Can you drift a corkie
First!
someone gonna let this lady know thats not a jet boat......
Actually it is, It’s got a jet outboard pushing it.
leci dla was like
The fish are to small, i.m use to 25lb steelhead and up. Sorry.
Never showed her cast one time ! Cus she can't cast at all !!! Funny how you can put film together to make her look like she knows what she's doing ! Lol
James Brede Yeah, I really like his work, but I just have no desire to watch a film of beginners fishing, or any sport for that matter.
most nice neuter
john boat duh
Vast majority of fly fisherman are men but let's put women in most of our videos so we can corner the market. LOL
Certain people and there cringe faces...
