Catching fish until my ARM HURT & Truck Camping - most amazing view yet! part 36

In part 36, I've hiked into a small stream in Wyoming that's absolutely full of fish...every pocket seemed to hold a trout. I found browns, brook, cutthroat, rainbows and cuttbows in this amazing stream....dry/dropper rig was explained in a past video...part 27 linked below. I end the day camping on top of a mountain which had some of the most amazing views yet! See the rig, how to find spots, all the flies I recommend and the entire 7k mile road trip below....
I'm living in my truck bed camper for 2 months and road tripping through New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming.

Drew I love that you never say where these spots are so they aren't flooded with people. I live and fish in Wyoming and the social media stuff is killing all the good places that used to be more private. Thank you

[@LooknFishy]

Yea, I hope the community will learn there's a way to do social media w/o burning every spot.

[@vincenzovicoli8006]

I keep watching your videos over and over. What I like the most is that your not trying to sella anything, like other videos. Just great scenery and beautiful streams.

[@PaulRowan]

Beautiful fat rainbows that backcountry gem, most excellent! Gota love fishing the Wy, always on my top favorite western states to be a streamside drifter. Thanks Drew!

[@stevewest6133]

Drew- I love that you're going off into the dispersed public lands, avoiding famous rivers and parks. I don't think you've done one video featuring Henry's Fork or the Madison. I live in Central California, near Kings Canyon and Yosemite where our parks hit crisis point this last summer. I think you're on to the next wave of responsible outdoor recreation- get outdoors, camp, catch fish, but give the crowded spots a break....... I love your message whether its intentional or not!

[@LooknFishy]

Nope I didn't fish any of the famous rivers on my trip. Probably will one day but not really my thing right now. Not sure it's a message or just my personality but I seek out seclusion and areas that are still wild...that's the experience I'm searching for!

[@uni_shadow164]

Drew, That water looked a little hard to navigate while wading, but Wild Rainbows, Cutties, and Bookies? That's 3 Aces worth the effort! Great View too!

[@LooknFishy]

Browns too...shard a video on IG of the brown that actually started the net losing sequence lol! Crazy stream had 5 species...browns, brookies, bows, cuttbow and finespot and yellowstone cutts...I just try to keep the videos under 20 min so most never make it on screen lol!

I really appreciate how you dont waste time putting the trout back. I see so many guys holding it out of water for over a min after a long fight. Imagine yourself fighting for your life then dunking your head under water after. Ppl are so stupid.

[@daviddunford9183]

Hi Drew, As always, a great video. I got a laugh at myself, after reading the title. I have more often had a sore arm from the number of casts, as opposed to the number of fish caught! Keep up the great work. Love your channel!

[@LooknFishy]

Haha, I can relate to that also!

[@dennissmathers898]

DAMN! Forget about the bear and moose! You better be yelling HEY rattlesnake, especially anytime near spring or summer in that area. That might be the snakiest looking place Ive seen you video at.

[@LooknFishy]

Haha, I would if I thought they listen and move off. Just glad they let you know when you get too close!

Thought I missed one on Thursday, glad I checked back. You’re video story telling is quite good. A little disappointed when they end to soon for me, but really happy to be on this adventure with you.

Thx Jim, yea I moved it back since it was Thanksgiving and felt like it was a day to be with family. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

[@jimgollach6202]

So tell me drew, what was the best, the fishing, or the camping view? You hit that spot just at the right time. Incredible! Enjoyed the video. Until next time. 👍👍👍

[@LooknFishy]

Hard to say but I'd definitely head back out there for the camping!

[@arcticmorning]

violent little stream.. looks snaky there. I would imagine you carry a snake kit with you.. That was a beauty out of that big pool 16 inches i figured...

Nothing better than a great steak after a day of great fishing ;-)

[@MuddyBootsOutdoors]

Another great video, when you're in these remote places do you let someone know in event something happens if your car breaks down or something happens unexpectedly? I imagine you're not getting any cell signals in some of these places.

[@LooknFishy]

Thank u, I have a spot...talked about checking in, in a few videos. I always check in before I head out on a hike.

Cool to get a Grand Slam on one stream in one afternoon. Not too many pull that off! Ever caught any grayling?

[@LooknFishy]

Always nice when that happens. I have on a trip to CO in 2016 super cool fish!

[@pingree70]

Every time I watch your videos I want to get back out west and fish. I have fished most of the rivers and streams in Michigan and nothing compares to my trips out west. Please tell me you have a sidearm on you when out in the bush.

[@sirwinston2368]

I have fished all the major streams in Michigan and a boatload of the smaller brook trout streams (if I had a dollar for every sublegal brook trout). I have also fished Montana (the Bob Marshall and Glacier) and Colorado (all over). I love fishing Michigan but, for sure, flyfishing out west is incredible. Have you fished the St. Mary's River Mark? I was there in August after Canada opened the border. Caught some pinks and a few rainbows. The St. Mary's is incredible water.

[@LooknFishy]

I carry bear spray and a sidearm when I had out...seen in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJO8hqKfoadlhtE I look forward to getting out there more each year!

@@williamwojcieszek4320 Northwest Indiana (NWI) - Little Elkhart Chapter. It's too far to attend meetings and the trout in Indiana are almost non-existent, at least in NWI except for some steelhead coming up the streams from Lake Michigan. I'm not much of a steelhead guy. I grew up near Detroit and went to college at Michigan Tech in the late 80's. Lots of brook trout in da U.P, eh?

Another killer trip!!! Curious, Why don’t you have some type of net minder? I have to have my net secured to me even bushwhacking I would lose it it would float away something it would drive me insane not to have my net secure to me.

[@LooknFishy]

I have gone thru several and just don't like them. I've tried the magnet and they come apart with a hard step or if you trip. Sometimes it'll snag but I won't know until I'm getting pulled or worse I don't and keep walking...ripped a hole in my net doing that once. Tried the zinger style and never found any that last. When I bushwack I secure it with a carabiner...walked thru that in what I carry in my pack video. But on the stream I just keep it behind me. Have had to chase it down and might lose it one day...but it's maybe worth $20 and one of the reason I don't have an exxxpensive net!

[@scottnock5241]

@@LooknFishy all valid, I just like to keep everything attached to me those Orvis net keepers are pretty stout!! A little heavy for me but they work well and I use a magnet as well I have seen some guys use two magnets I may try that..

[@michaelkissane6138]

I once saw a cartoon about this, where 2 fishermen are walking thru brush and one has a net in his hand and the other has an elastic cord on his and says, "I used to forget where I laid my net, now it's always with me." His pal answers, "Yeah, well I got tired of mine smacking me in the head after being snagged on a branch." And the next image shows the guy's elastic cord stretched way out, and you know what's going to happen! Been there, done that! I've gone several ways myself, it's usually on my wader belt in front of me now.

[@dfw1092]

Hey drew, great videos. I unfortunately moved from an area with ample cold water to a place where the nearest streams are 4+ hours away, and these have helped sustain me! Encounter any bull trout while out in Idaho?

[@LooknFishy]

My nearest trout stream is 4 hours too! My local water is cypress swamp bass and grass carp which is why I travel for trout! A few small ones but never targeted them in the crazy temps over the summer. Maybe next year!

[@nickbourne950]

Could you explain what gear you are using please? Rod, reel, line and fly. Thanks

[@LooknFishy]

Check the description for vids that go into all that. Planning a separate vid on rods I'd recommend for a trip like this. Hope to get it up soon!

[@tigersteamer]

What was the majority of the catches on, dry's or nymph's?

[@LooknFishy]

Nymphs for sure. Not many lookn up on this stream.

[@infie]

You don't seem to keep any fish to eat! Just wondered if you just don't find them to your taste.

[@williamwojcieszek4320]

Where do you fish in December, January, and Feb?

[@LooknFishy]

In the past...redfish-Nov thru Jan and Arkansas tailwaters. But cold temps kill my gopro batteries (lithium) so I rarely film any of it. Tried several times but super frustrating dealing with it so I just fish! Not sure how this winter will go, my daughter plays high school basketball and has over 30 games scheduled thru March and I don't miss stuff like that!

Not so much these days!

[@michaelkinsel4285]

I love your videos, love your content, love your commentary, enjoy everything except 1 thing. I really think you need to upgrade your battery, video equipment or whatever is the issue, it’s a shame that you have all these awesome videos and there’s just so much pixelation on the streams with moving water and fast movement things. Definitely takes away from your videos. I am a subscriber. The pixelation does not happen when you’re at the camp sites and talking. Just when you’re fishing and landing those beautiful trout in the net.

[@LooknFishy]

Thanks for the feedback! Get a comment like this every few weeks ...when I ask my friends if they are having any issues viewing my vids, they are not. I've even watched on my wife's phone to see myself but never experienced it. Which makes me think it's a internet issue but not an expert, just all I can come up with. I film with a gopro hero 8 in HD and export at a high quality. With all that said, I just decided to upgrade to a hero 10 and upgraded to the latest version of the editing software I use. Fingers crossed that helps!
