I CAN NOT believe this Forest Service Campground was EMPTY considering how BIG the TROUT are! p33

In the late summer of 2022, I lived off the grid for 9 weeks exploring and fly fishing some of the wests most remote streams. I recorded every day and started sharing my 9-week truck bed camping road trip after I returned home in mid-October. In part 33 of the 9 week truck bed camping road trip, I've hiked into a remote section of this Montana stream and find, browns, rainbows, cutthroat and cuttbows. It was such an amazing day!
I started my 9 week road trip on July 31, 2022, and spent roughly 3 weeks in WY, ID and MT. Check out all the videos from this trip in the playlist linked below:

Best fly fishing youtuber out there Drew! Engaging, great quality recordings and simple. Keep em coming brother!

[@LooknFishy]

Thanks man super cool to hear!

[@jeffcollins1172]

I live these adventures through you. I love small stream fly fishing; always been my favorite, even over Saltwater. But I’m pretty limited to roadside streams now at 66 and obese with a few health problems. My main goal now is to lose about 80 pounds so I can still enjoy those times. Until then, keep posting, it’s almost like I’m there.

[@jeffcollins1172]

I have a similar truck setup, a 2004 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4WD with a shell. I need to get a mattress for it though, I presently use a camping pad and sleeping bag, kind of hard. I think you have a video showing your setup, need to check it out again.

[@stevenm6301]

Drew I bet every one of us would be willing to donate a quarter so you could buy a new net!

[@LooknFishy]

Haha...I'll get a new net when I get 50k followers. Nets cost more than the gas to drive out west these days lol!

[@charleshutcheson2506]

Noooo! That net has been a warrior. Oh the stories it could tell😄 Honor the net!

[@AT-ht6ce]

lol he’s rocking Orvis gear….he certainly afford a new net 😂

[@jamesdennis5699]

I’d donate a buck

[@Patrick-ol8ke]

I appreciate the respect you show releasing these fish. Too many times I see anglers just chuck it back into the stream with disregard. Your videos capture the essence of fly fishing with great action. Well done.

[@riverrunner23]

Cheez-Itz, dinner of champions. Nice day of fishing, Drew.

[@Fishin-Ipps]

Amazing place. Those two browns were beauts, and spunky

[@LooknFishy]

Had been a several weeks since I found any browns and those had a serious attitude!

[@NickAndCaroline]

7:15 this is where experience helps an angler keep a fish buttoned and not broken off! Nice drag control with your hand when he made the run!!! 👊💪

[@dogsoldiertoo1099]

Another good vid, Drew. That was more a river than a stream. Those were some seriously solid fish, scrappy too. Congrats on a great day.

[@LooknFishy]

Thanks dude, definitely had a fun day!

[@diverm2371]

Just Awesome. Really could just use this for therapy. Let's go fishing everyone.

[@thomasburtonwalker]

Hands down, best trout FF channel on YT.

[@williampacey9194]

Nice size trout, nice stream and campground. Good video as usual.

[@heppisaxm8316]

Super,super mister. Magic fishing fly❤

[@Ericbyhookorbycrook]

Man. So freakin cool. Can't get enough of a good slob brownie. Addicted trout junkies we all are! Great day

[@mikekolbeckoutdoors6225]

Wow, those were some fantastic size trout. Gotta love those little hideaway gems!

[@gkfrandsen7739]

hi Drew I subscribed, and I never subscribe to ANYTHING.. I have a trip coming up to the Madison and my goal is to find some creeks n streams and SOLITUDE. Just me and some fish. Love your videos and the reason is simple...flyfishing is spiritual for me and you capture why I love it. My son is coming with me this yr and we're going to find some beautiful solitude, beautiful scenery and beautiful fish. thx

[@garylee190]

Some seriously beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing!

[@fishingtrippy]

Those are good size fish! I always love it when brown trout look golden like that too

[@robteal7625]

Love your videos my man. I just discovered you and am new to fly fishing. You e taught me a lot so far. Thank you for the great content. Coming out to Oregon anytime soon??

[@PaulRowan]

Sweet streamside action topped off with clubby chunksters. Man O man, your hauling the hangers on this one. Way to go!

[@billschlafer]

Dang Drew! Those are some chunky Trout. Another great video.

[@LooknFishy]

Definitely a stream that I'll revisit!

[@kgm4368]

Another great vid Drew! You continue to have the #1 FF channel on YT by far! Beautiful river! Big healthy, athletic cuts that acted like they weren’t use to being caught that often. I love it when they fight like that!

[@ragnar010162]

I like the way you handle your fish, and give 'em some time before releasing them.

[@DD-nv2vg]

Soooo jelly!! LOL You are doing what I constantly dream of. Awesome videos!!! Keep up the great work and thank you.

[@mikerawls9619]

Well done once again.

[@creedm3040]

Great video! Now that’s a beautiful river. I would fish that any day of the week. Simply perfect and solid fish no doubt. You will be back. Best!

[@H3DG3xC043]

What a great day of fishing , what an amazing stream,great work drew !

[@matthewz4569]

Great video. Have you ever fished, or considered fishing the Deshcutes? You will never find harder fighting trout. A 16 inch trout will get you into the backing sometimes. You can easily fight a fish for 6-8 minutes if you have a 4 or 5 wt rod.

[@LooknFishy]

Absolutely and hope to one day!

[@matthewz4569]

@@LooknFishy Awesome. I’ll be there with my brother this summer. I’m out in Kenya now. You should see the browns and rainbows that thrive in the streams and lakes of Mt Kenya. Amazing trout fishing here, and Kenya produces 50% of the world’s flies.

[@jimgollach6202]

Dang drew, you hit it good at that pull off. Really nice fish, and no people to boot. Enjoyed watching. 👍

[@LooknFishy]

Crazy with how many people I saw on the way and not one was camping!

[@jamesjacobson3966]

Great video as usual Drew. I think I know the stream you were fishing, truly amazing you had it to yourself even after Labour Day!👍

[@toddodle8688]

Amazing variety of really great fish! Great video as usual.

[@AT-ht6ce]

Man I wish I didn’t have to work so I could just fish and travel all day everyday 😊

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Fantastic fishery. Nice area to camp and fish.

[@kennydean4083]

Always enjoy your videos can not wait for August to be in Montana and Wyoming

[@vance8565]

well aren't I stupid, I see you already have done that !!! Great vids , thanks for taking us along !!!

[@Realtreeg]

That eat at 5:18 got my blood pumping for dry fly season. That was an awesome roll

[@scottnock5241]

Great fish there drew!!!

[@LooknFishy]

Much appreciated!

[@briljantje9583]

Those are the days! Great video, Drew.

[@Callaweginflyfishing]

Drew, So cool, such great fishing right near a NF Camp Ground.

[@richardjones2129]

Thanks Drew for sharing this episode of ur trip those were some Really Nice fish! Im partial to the brownies. Impressive fishery! Love the clean waters n the scenery is breathtaking! As always pls keep the videos coming! God Bless n Fish on! Like the cutties as well!

[@flyfisher6334]

[@betrickey]

Some of the best caving spots I've ever stayed at were at the end of the road. Great video!

[@uni_shadow164]

Great variety and decent size trout there!! Well Done Drew!

[@salmon4ever]

Beautiful area!!! Solid fishing!!!!!! Lets gooooo

[@robpool7814]

Another envy video from Drew! Love these.

[@stewartsimpson2236]

Some absolute cracking trout there! 🎣👌

[@bobhammond8067]

Great fish!! Wow!!!

[@paulkick7870]

NICE Fish!

[@vance8565]

GREAT VID !!!! Wow those are nice fish. Thought, why dont you put out a video composed of all these videos from this trip. That way we can see all of the episodes at once!!! Love watching your adventures!!!

[@_gatsby]

AWESOME stuff!!!

[@chillinoutdoors7464]

Nice beautiful fish! I love it!

[@pnw_element9822]

Great fishing 🎣

[@williamweiss6128]

Nice lookin' fish there.

[@pughtopia1]

Big trout is right Nice

[@myakkafly3506]

Another great video! Do you have any plans for a trip this summer?

[@LooknFishy]

Not sure. I just got back from a week in Wisconsin but month long trips are undecided right now

[@skypieper]

I can never finish a full video, my jealousy overcomes me and I have to find something else to watch lol. Also am disappointed that when I went to Montana I didn't do more research and find that spot off the beaten path, big rivers/names get hit hard.

[@jimpyle560]

Those fish were very net shy. 😅

[@LooknFishy]

Haha they definitely weren't getting in the net easy!

[@NickAndCaroline]

Do you find a lot of ticks wet wading out west? If I did that here in PA I’d be toast! Got bit by a bad bug my first week in PA. Lyme thankfully is treatable so I was fine after some hardcore antibiotics. Now I never leave home without waders!

[@LooknFishy]

I've found 3 on me in 3 years...the 3rd was last week in the driftless. I usually cover myself in off...keep my shirt tucked in and make sure to reapply to any area where they could get in...waist band, wrist area, etc. Ticks are definitely my biggest worry when wet wading so it's a trade off for comfort and mobility.

[@guiart4728]

Chunky and feisty!!!

[@peterallan2666]

You seem to play fish a long time before netting?

[@imrich884]

When's your birthday Drew? I'm going to get you a new landing net. That old one looks a bit beat up.

[@jamesdennis5699]

Fabulous Drew, I so enjoy your adventures. I can no longer do it myself anymore so I’m living it thru you. Wave at me sometime. Thanks again…Dick

[@AB-xp8im]

Did any other campers show up? and/or did you stay an extra day?

[@worldobserver3515]

Nice fish. Great scenery.

[@gladegoodrich2297]

In all your wandering have you ever had a bigfoot encounter?

[@nialllittle3820]

Going to start calling you the godfather !!!

[@corymullins3737]

Is this in AZ Drew? Amazing video

[@tedbiladeau9330]

There is nothing like that in AZ

[@LooknFishy]

Nah this was part of my 9 week road trip thru Wyoming Idaho and Montana.

[@blakepumphrey8782]

Amazing spot there. What part of the summer was this

[@morepork559]

So beautiful!

[@69adrummer]

So you have to buy out of state licenses for all these trips?! How do YOU do it?!?! GREAT F"N video series dude!!

[@SuperFitnessForever]

I live in new England and I have gone out west many times. All states sell l their licenses online. Even though he does not say where he was for this video, I am pretty sure I know exactly where he was fishing!

[@sujitchemburkar]

These are great fighters! They really don't like you!

[@LooknFishy]

It's the net lol!

[@ppoop1812]

Do you know what the campsite is called?

[@Redfour5]

Stop it. You aren't supposed to tell our secrets...

[@gerald4133]

Good Luck fishing 🎣 watch out for bear 🐻

[@gerald4133]

Beautiful area it really looks 🎣 fishy !
