7 DAYS EXPLORING FLY FISHING THE SAINT JOE RIVER OVERLANDING IDAHO
My name is John and I am 64 years old I and live out of my 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ overlanding full time Fly fishing, Hiking Backpacking and exploring our country.

Haha!!! Gotta love a fly fisherman's sense of humor. Loved the video!

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

I’m glad you like the video. Having a good sense of humor is a good way to survive.

If you take that road up Marble Creek to Hobo Pass you will find the best huckleberries! I learned to fly fish on Marble Creek, St Maries, N Fork Clearwater, and the St Joe and lived in St Maries and Clarkia, Idaho several different times before moving to Ketchikan Alaska in 1968 with family as an 11 year old! Talk about trout fishing! Thank you dad for taking me to all of those places! RIP❤

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

My favorite rivers to fish in Idaho is the north Fork of the Clearwater and Kelly Creek. The Saint Joe has become too popular and way way too many people everywhere.

[@tigersteamer]

I still keep coming back to this video. Very cool.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

It is a cool river. This year I will be doing a lot of Fly Fishing videos. Hoping to get into Canada and fish in BC and Yukon territory, then head into Alaska.

It is awsom

[@Peviballoons20]

Awesome I've been to the st. Joe river, it's awesome

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

That is one of my favorite rivers in Idaho. I probably did that video about three years ago but I was back there this year in September and I couldn’t believe how crowded it was. Every free campsite along the river was taken and every good fishing pool there was somebody fishing it. That did not make me too happy and it’s getting a little bit too popular.

[@Peviballoons20]

@@overthehillandoverthemount2925 I went camping at st Joe city up river from St. Mary's, those camp sites are huge and my family rented one, fishing is my favorite on the river there even by marble creek and further up stream

[@paulhoffman5054]

The bear and coyote / wolf sound effects had me cracking up! You should come up with a sound effect when you drink a beer. That 30 ' deep pool looked gorgeous. The entire river looked spectacular with the cliffs. You are in a paradise. Your videos are awesome and keep getting more interesting. Be safe John.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Paul Hoffman Thanks man i’ve been experimenting with different sounds. I have been working on a sound while I’m drinking beer. It is getting cold now starting to head down south.

Love your show!!

[@michael930turbo]

I grew up fishing the st joe. Very special place in my heart! I moved to Florida in 2014 so it's been 7 years since my last trip up there. Miss it.....

[@gregotto1942]

Great times there. Having fun there I see.

[@Paulpoission]

Love the St Joe

[@flux_core_fx]

Beautiful, hope all is well

[@justinhyland6064]

like the video. I was thinking about heading over there this weekend to check it out and get a fly wet. Keep the videos coming.

[@nonewherelistens1906]

St. Joe, the river of colorful rocks. Fished it for 4 days before Labor day in 2018. Really like that river. Some nice fish there, (west slope cutties). I could find myself back there again. Thanks for the vid John.

[@dawg4530]

Awesome video!

Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it

Overland Uncharted Thanks but it looks like fishing season could be over. A cold spell came in and it is time to head south.

[@jimmyjones5216]

Dang John! I get excited watching you fishing. You are living the life. Continued good luck and success.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Jimmy Jones I’m glad you enjoyed it. Fly fishing Montana and Idaho is absolutely awesome. It’s starting to get cold now here I think this is my last week fishing. I’m pretty bummed out about that.

[@vernonwest7983]

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Gotta love that Idaho fishing

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Yep Idaho is one of my favorite states to fly fish in.

[@danielsells9814]

I love getting into this area. Tons of great rivers in the region to fish.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Daniel Sells I can’t wait till it starts getting warmer and I can get back up there to do more flyfishing. I love getting into the smaller rivers up there.

[@JeremiahGreco]

The St. Joe is a treasure. I hope you make it back.

I'm leaving Tucson May 1st to do a 7 month motorcycle adventure trip and Idaho trout fishing is on my list!

[@stevezeppieri]

One of the best places you’ve ever been. How absolutely gorgeous that whole valley is. One of your best campsites ever. Nice fishing. I know it’s getting cold up there. Time to point to compass south. Awesome adventure. These longer vids are great. And oh that heavenly coffee. Cheers John!

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Steve Zeppieri thanks Steve, I am heading down south now. It was 31° this morning.

[@stevezeppieri]

Over the hill and Over the mountain Way too cold for mid September. You better travel south or else you mind as well be back in jersey lol.

Moving up there from Colorado in a couple of years...can't wait. Good video!

No please don’t man you understand how sad it is watching people move here and watching the woods be destroyed just think about what your doing before you come here

@@whatsup5791 We're in the process of transitioning, but I think we'll keep our place in Ouray and go back and forth every couple of months.

[@glennherbst5470]

I have watched this video several times. Fished this river once and was bitten by its beauty, water and fish. You had a great experience as well and I am glad for your video to remind through winter of what comes next year.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hey Glenn that river is beautiful. I went back there this September to fish it and I couldn’t believe how many people were fish in this river. Every pool there was fisherman in it. This River has gotten a little too popular. The north fork of the clear water river and Kelly Creek Is my go to places where the fishing is great and not too many people and I think it is a lot more beautiful than the Saint Joe.

Great video John keep'em coming. Where will you be when winter hits

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Acp 42 I know I won’t be in Montana. I will be in Utah this week. In Winter it will most likely be Arizona and Texas.

[@garyrafferty7625]

Truly enjoy your videos. Planning to go there next fall 2021. What flies were most productive on the St Joe?

[@gp4708]

We just left the St Joe. Great time fishing. Go up there every year.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Glenda Po Did you catch any decent size trout. All the fish I caught were all about 12 inches. I did not catch anything over 14 inches on the Saint Joe.

[@gp4708]

Over the hill and Over the mountain all were in the 10-12" range. Did lose one that was about 16". Fished the 10 mile dirt road section. It seems to have become more popular over the years. Kelly creek this year was really good. Not as many people. Not sure why. Caught some nice 14-16" rainbows and cutthroats. I think it's more accessible . Im getting too old to be scampering up and down steep sections to get to the water. .

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Glenda Po Yep this getting old sucks. I have been fishing a lot of tiny mountain creeks here in Montana. It is a real challenge to walk these creeks and a lot of the time to hike down to them. I keep saying I’m too old for this but I keep on going and doing it, I guess it keeps me young.

[@Polarcutter]

Awesome, beautiful in the forest. Great campsites. Keep on keeping on. Be safe and enjoy 👍

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Glenn Chapman it was a pretty cool campsite.

[@garysorenson7138]

Sept 1st where is your shotgun grouse season is open.

[@aaronwilcox6417]

I grew up there but today its overran with folks from washington state and UTV's. I hate it now.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

I agree with you. I think my first time on the river was about five years ago and there was hardly anybody fishing. I went to fish it in late September last year and I couldn’t even fish it because every hole was filled with fisherman. I will never fish that river again.

[@skippylippy547]

Did you meet Mr. Sasquatch yet?

[@DrJohn493]

Hit "Like" and the sub button 1:45 into the video! Thoroughly enjoyed your introduction to the St. Joe. It's on my list for next summer/early fall after retiring at the end of this year. Already started a new channel just for that trip. Thanks for sharing the places you've experienced. As I plan next summer's extended trip out west I'm going to enjoy catching up on your channel.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

John Eagerton I am glad you are enjoying my videos. The Saint Joe was one of my favorite rivers in Idaho. I just spent about four months in Montana fly fishing. Life is good. Is 1:45 A magic number.

[@DrJohn493]

Over the hill and Over the mountain No magic, 1:45 is how long it took for me to decide I liked the video & channel.

[@balor7]

Is that a tail water?

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

balor7 I’m not sure what you mean but it comes out of the Coeur d Alene Lake.

[@nonewherelistens1906]

Actually it flows in to Coeur d Alene Lake from the Idaho- Montana border. No it is not a tailwater. Free flowing and beautiful with lots of public access in the upper half of the valley.

Hi John! What a trip! I actually thought the fake animal noises were quite funny. There’s an old saying I live by. “It’s ok to be me”. Good work and thanks for taking me to the St. Joe’s river.
