BIKE TO FLY | 9 Days of Bikepacking and Fly Fishing Through Patagonia

About two years ago, my friend Miles Sebald decided to travel up to Dead Horse, Alaska, with his bike and ride south in one push to the opposite side of the world in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Erika and I made plans to meet up with Miles when he reached Patagonia, where we biked and fished with him for 9 days.

That is exactly my goal with these films. Makes me very happy to hear that it inspired you. Thanks for following along!

[@melindabaer2534]

No need to cuz.. it's a great watch.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Awesome video mate! Finally someone shows that it's possible and safe to fish on your own in Patagonia, no need to hire a guide or a lodge.

[@PhelpsontheFly]

True words! Glad you enjoyed it

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Great film Will . Two of my three passions cycling fishing and the other being motorcycling. All three can get you away from the city and breathing fresh air. Even here in the UK you don't need to travel far to achieve that.

[@gavindavies1356]

Just wow! Planted the seed to drag my ass out on another tour. Vamos!

[@mhsomethingsomething850]

The “one more day” resonated with me. Great monologue 👏🏼

[@nickmarshall6732]

Amazing documentary, both in your friend’s journey and your trip together. Found your channel through a mutual interest in biking and fishing. I haven’t gotten the nerve up to try bikepacking yet, but this may have been just the inspiration I needed.

[@sebastianperez6200]

I see the landscapes of my province, Chubut, and it moves me. I am from Epuyén, and this summer I saw them on the road near El Bolsón! I'm glad you enjoy this land as much as we do. You still have the Beer Trail pending, from Bariloche to El Maitén through dirt roads and countryside.

[@beezersurf]

Amazing work once again, Will.

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Freyguy66]

Love your stuff dude! Among the best fly channels in the game no doubt!!
