How the heck did you get from the campsite to the river? Wings? Don't you feel bad taking advantage of those cutties that had probably never seen an artificial fly? Very nice video. I'm 71 years old and have been coming to Montana every year, except for two, since 1968. Back then the big rivers that are now a zoo were pristine and often I could fish all day on the middle Madison, Beaverhead, or Big Hole and rarely see another fly fisher. Now, and for the last 18 years I fish the same river every year because it has big trout that rise freely. What you are experiencing with your buds, you will see in time, is as, if not more important than the actual catching of another trout. I fish with two other guys just like your gang and we have been together for over fifty years. It is still awesome to go to MT together and fish, laugh, have a few drinks, and reminisce about all the waters we have chased trout in over the last half century.
Matt Troutman I live in Montana, I fish the Madison, Missouri, Gallatin, Boulder, etc...More often than not I am the only person out there...it may not be as good as it was but man, its still pretty incredible
norbaracer13 Yes, I still think the fly fishing in MT is excellent. I don't want to mention on the Internet where I fish but every year when I go out for two weeks I land dozens of 17" - 19" wild browns and rainbows and a good dozen 19+" - 23" and all on small dry flies.
I don't know how to get to your inbox. It is a taiwater north of the Beaverhead. You should be able to figure where it is. Do you have a Facebook page? If so I'll post up some of my over 21" browns.
Lovely video! Great to see three young guys out there lovin' fly fishing. I'm 70 now and have fished in Montana at least 45 different years. Back in the late 1960's - early 1970's I'd spent June - August driving all around in my 1969 VW Campmobile. Fishing here and there and camping wherever I wanted. Fished all the big, and many of the not so big, rivers before they became popular. Still a great state for really big trout on dries and also smaller, but more, trout all day long on lesser known creeks. BTW it was cool to see you weren't catching any invasive species like browns and rainbows.
That is correct! There were no rainbows, or brown trout, in Montana until they were stocked there. Now they reproduce naturally. At one time the only trout in MT were cutthroat, Bull trout, and maybe Dolly Varden way up around Glacier. Also there were lots of grayling but now very few.
There were also no Brook trout in Montana until they were stocked at some time in the past. Brook trout were native to watersheds east of the Mississippi and I think primarily in cold water streams, rivers, and lakes. The Northeast and down to the Smoky Mtns were the native range as well as some of the mid Western states like Michigan.
One of my all-time fav videos on UA-cam, great job on this. Stuck home, sick, and rivers are iced over in VT....good way to pass the time with stuff like this.
Fly fishing VT I still watch this video a few times a week in the winter ... even sometimes in the summer just to keep my head and heart in the right place
I know I'm sounding like an old crank, but the music is selection is incongruous with the stellar footage of the mountains and fishing. Acoustic guitars and trout fishing = the way God intended.
This is hands down my favorite video on UA-cam ! Such a beautiful place. Almost unbelievably clear water and HUNGRY fish ! I know you might not want to give up a spot like that but where is that ??
This is such a great vid! Once I'm finished with college I'm going to try and land a job over in Montana so my average weekend would be doing this kind of stuff! awesome shots, whoever is doing your camera work is a genius!
Sweet documentary! Montana has some of the best fishing in the world. Thank you for a video we can all enjoy and please bring us more. This video is the closest representation of what it is like fishing montana without actually being there. Stoked my senses and made my day.
This is the best video I've ever seen on youtube. Can't understand why it has less than 70k views. The intro is just amazing, and overall a very interesting and entertaining movie. Thanks for letting me watch it :)
Nice video, and some beautiful water and fish. A great advertisement for barbless hooks, though. If I was on that trip I would have hated to have had to hike out to the ER just because my buddy was too stubborn to pinch his barbs and couldn't get a hook out of himself, or worse, out of me.
Świetny film. Bardzo dobre ujęcia całego otoczenia. Lasy, góry, potok, zdjęcia podwodne. No i ryby... Dla mnie najlepszy kanał. Pozdrawiam chłopaki, tak trzymać.
Really awesome experience. I've seen some idylic places on videos,and in real. But this is one of those places I really want to experience myself. What fantastic scenery and quality fishing there. You gotta love the mountains and its streams that carved them out. Full of beautifull cutthroath rainbows and other. A big plume on a hook,and you will catch,so pure looking there. You are one of the few lucky ones on earth to have this as "your backyard".
Watching this reminds me of everytime time I head out to rip some lips with my buds. Laid back, lots of laughs and epic fish catching. Great music selection by the way, one of the many marks that sets this apart from other fly fishing videos. Yeah buddy.
you guys seriously have the best fishing videos on youtube..my favorite to watch and i have watched all of them. amazing fishing filming and editing..even down to the music..your videos are flawless and i seriously wish i could ever have the opportunity to fish in montana it is my dream place to fish i hope one day i will make it there..
Great video! I really liked the scene where you showed the fish taking the fly with an underwater camera. I live near Hot springs and i love the fishing here in NW MT!
Great video. The underwater takes were awesome. Two years old but I have to share it. I am in CFalls and was looking for some Montana ice fishing videos since the ice is forming.
Hilarious intermission with the hook to the neck...got some drama into this great video. Those Westslope Cut's are gorgeous.... The underwater footage is awesome
Guys, this is the best video i've seen in a while. I think i've watched it over 15 times. It's all there: superb shooting, epic spots&takes, sublime soundtrack etc. Congratulations! Greetings from Romania! PS do you have any idea why this video doesn't work on mobile anymore? Alex

Invasive? Aren't rainbows native to the northwest and Montana?

3:16 is probably the coolest shot i've seen in any fishing video EVER
More than 5 years later and this video and quality is still top notch!!!
I've watched this at lease 200 times
probably the best back country trout video on UA-cam!
One of my all-time fav videos on UA-cam, great job on this. Stuck home, sick, and rivers are iced over in VT....good way to pass the time with stuff like this.
Fly fishing VT I still watch this video a few times a week in the winter ... even sometimes in the summer just to keep my head and heart in the right place
Wonderfully shot but with the most brutal musical backdrop.
The only way I could watch was to mute the audio ....( ha)!!
The music is pants. Ruined an otherwise great video
I thought it complimented the video. It’s not my cup of tea but I think it works
@@joshjenkins9378 That was noise, not music and you must not do much fishing...that does not fit the video!
@@beefree7114 Interesting handle, given your thoughts on not being free with musical taste
great video! looks like beautiful country, gorgeous fish and great times! - stony
Love this video guys! looking forward to another big film like this soon! you guys are so lucky.
This is the most beautiful fly fishing film i have ever seen. Gotta love Montana
Gentlemen, another exceptional film. Very beautiful country. Your enthusiasm and love of the outdoors is quit event.
I know I'm sounding like an old crank, but the music is selection is incongruous with the stellar footage of the mountains and fishing. Acoustic guitars and trout fishing = the way God intended.
The best fishing video ever plus awesome music.
This is hands down my favorite video on UA-cam ! Such a beautiful place. Almost unbelievably clear water and HUNGRY fish ! I know you might not want to give up a spot like that but where is that ??
The song is perfect for the mood and synched perfectly.....the under H2O action is amazing.....
This is the best thing I've ever watched. Fantastic work guys
I love the Santigold intro song. Probably my go to for every activity in life. Keep up the great work.
Appreciate it Dustin.
This is such a great vid! Once I'm finished with college I'm going to try and land a job over in Montana so my average weekend would be doing this kind of stuff! awesome shots, whoever is doing your camera work is a genius!
Not only is the video amazing but this guy’s taste in music is awesome. 👏 👌
Sweet documentary! Montana has some of the best fishing in the world. Thank you for a video we can all enjoy and please bring us more. This video is the closest representation of what it is like fishing montana without actually being there. Stoked my senses and made my day.
You guys get the most incredible shots I have ever seen! I think I've watched your fishing videos at least 50 times each. Keep up the good work!
One of my favorite montana/trout videos on UA-cam
Think this must be the 10th time I've watched this INCREDIBLE video. Makes me wanna go fish right now
This is the best video I've ever seen on youtube. Can't understand why it has less than 70k views. The intro is just amazing, and overall a very interesting and entertaining movie. Thanks for letting me watch it :)
Those rising shots are just pure magic man!
I wish my back yard was half as stunning as yours. Fishing looks pretty awesome to. Thanks for posting.
Definitely the best fly fishing videos i have ever seen.
i keep coming back to this video year after year
Wow this video is amazing. I need to get out there.
Those underwater shots were AMAZING!
Nice video, and some beautiful water and fish. A great advertisement for barbless hooks, though. If I was on that trip I would have hated to have had to hike out to the ER just because my buddy was too stubborn to pinch his barbs and couldn't get a hook out of himself, or worse, out of me.
Awesome. Bushwhack fishing at its finest. Gotta love ditching the popular spots and exploring with your fly rod.
This makes me want to fly over to the US and wet a line with you guys, great video, keep up the good work and happy fishing!
Świetny film. Bardzo dobre ujęcia całego otoczenia. Lasy, góry, potok, zdjęcia podwodne. No i ryby...

WOW, what great scenery and phenomenal camera work! The full screen HD was amazing and I appreciate how tough it was to get where the fish are, bravo.

I thoroughly love this video!! Only every time i see it I wonder why you would put your binoculars next to a firepit?
I wondered why there was a random truck driving a dirt road at 10:02...not too backcountry if you can drive there.
SUPERB! Thank you for posting!!
Awesome video! Making me so jealous, keep up the amazing trips!
Great video, great production, and most importantly a great time. So glad I subscribed!
