This small stream in Montana was incredible! P32

[@desertbrewcrew1974]

Still the best fly fishing channel.

[@johnd5643]

Time for a new net. I have long been worried about the fish hurting themselves on those zip ties.

[@studiokohl1]

When i was a kid my brother and fished in Montana all the time, our parents had a business in west Yellowstone and a summer home in Bozeman. He fished more than i did... Being the little sister, i got distracted by pretty rocks. We hung out in bob jacklins fly shop back then. 76, 77 &78. We learned so much those summers, from fishing and fly tying to careing for the cattle we bought, and ate. We both have always felt bad that we couldn't give our kids anything like we got. We each got 2 boys in the kid draw. The ducks are waiting for you to clean your fish. They want dinner

[@LooknFishy]

That sounds like what summer should be like!

[@jimsexton9857]

Drew….you need an O’PRO’S waist band rod holder!

[@thewonderwok]

Thanks Drew! great fun!!!

[@jdoza5184]

Good breakdown on your rods, leader system and flies worth subscribing 👍🏼

[@rayflynn7942]

those ducks were just looking for an autograph Drew😊

[@TheStratfanatic]

Pretty water. Love Montana but last trip was the 1000 year flood. Snow in June, uh nope...lol Enjoy

[@robinson8888]

Thanks for the info on your setup, always interesting to hear. Then the fishing was as smooth as ever.

[@LooknFishy]

U bet. I try to add that in every few vids

[@cyguy8577]

Just to echo I really appreciate the leader info!!!!!!

[@silvertip8k278]

The cinnamon teal live on those steams, just like the cut throat...lol There just migrating through

[@Ericbyhookorbycrook]

Got my first two trout on fly gear this weak. These videos of yours are like inspiration videos. Funniest part of the catch for me, on both fish, was my reel hand had no idea what to do when the fish hit. I was laughing at myself. Life is good.

[@LooknFishy]

That sounds fun!

[@Jeffcoletti]

Great video, I would love to see some more clips of you setting up camp and cooking and showing what your life is like on the road in general

[@LooknFishy]

The new vids will include those parts. Just didn't have the space to record everything over 9 weeks.

[@jimgollach6202]

Fishing nets are like girlfriends, they get old, 😅 get a new net.😅 sorry about your broken rod,that looks like something that would happen to me. That's why I always take a backup rod, even on day trips. Beautiful country and fish. Enjoyed watching. 👍 😂

[@LooknFishy]

That was definitely a first for me. I still got the net lol!

[@billschlafer]

Another fantastic stream Drew! Man, nothing ruins a day quicker than than a broken rod. Always good to have a backup rod or two in the trunk. I've been on a first name basis with the good folks a Echo Rods now for some time. I'm fortunate to get two seasons in on a rod without a break. Too much bush whacking I guess.

[@LooknFishy]

Yep, that was a first. But like you I'm very familiar with the orvis warranty department unfortunately

[@sheldonlipschitz5952]

Sorry for your 4wt. Time for some retail therapy. Always enjoy watching your videos.

Outstanding action, what a beautiful stream. This is inspirational as I'm getting excited about Montana this summer.

[@williampacey9194]

Sorry about the rod, nice stream, nice fish.

[@dogsoldiertoo1099]

Takeaway - Montana is hell on fly rods...but a great place to shoot ducks. lol Another great video, Drew.

[@LooknFishy]

Haha...those ducks were nuts!

[@dxradioman6351]

Sorry about the rod. Nice technical casting in real life conditions with the snags. Idaho may be the "new" Montana for fishing however. Not nearly as many people. For instance, when the Bighorn opened in the 80's there were days where all caught trout were 18-20". Been fishing MT all my life and Idaho is looking good now.

[@LooknFishy]

That's insane!

[@dxradioman6351]

@@LooknFishy Insane, but true. I kept a Hyde drift boat in Ft. Smith just for floating the Bighorn. Also, and I don't know how it is today, but the Bow river out of Calgary produced some giant fish. Again, sounds like a story, but one day my wife and I caught fish all above 20" with the best 24" on "Bow Buggers". I had tendonitis so bad I couldn't stretch out my hand from casting those streamers all day for a week...but it was fun! Circa mid 80s also.

[@brucecreel3163]

So what’s the limit on zip ties before you spring for a new net? Love your vids. Have learned so much!!

[@trailerparkpirate7348]

maybe the left behind bear spray is an indicator of it not working as well on bears with humps on their shoulders?

[@LooknFishy]

Haha maybe the bear left it!

[@brucebolander5783]

@@LooknFishy the bear likes pepper on his steak!

[@kgm4368]

Great vid as usual Drew and beautiful stream! I love your “crazy-aggressive” cast early in the vid. Like you said “ you’ve got to get the fly to the fish”. If it were an Olympic sport you would have got high marks for degree of difficulty! Love your SF 3 wt! You mentioned a while back you were looking at a possible 2 wt. Any update on that?

[@briljantje9583]

You should buy yourself another net, Drew! 😉😂

[@williamweiss6128]

No going to be jealous for long. Headed to N Idaho or Wa camping in a week. Fishing mecca.

[@garyrafferty7625]

It amazes me that on sunny days with low clear water, you do not spook fish more often (even when we see your shadow on the water). The FORCE (and Jedi Powers) must be with you!

[@larryh9525]

The moment I saw the fish drop thru the net and swim downstream I figured the tip of the rod was going to break. I just hate when that happens.

[@lenzflyfishing]

Too bad about your 4wt. Hey, did you pick up that new CFO? I used mine today with my 3wt Superfine Glass. Caught a bunch of brookies. Great vid, Drew. You’re awesome.

[@LooknFishy]

I have not...didn't know they had a new one.

[@lenzflyfishing]

@@LooknFishy it’s still available. Made in the USA 🇺🇸

Great video. As usual. Have you ever wished you had a 2 weight rod?

[@LooknFishy]

I have a 6.6 2wt that I got after last yrs NC trip.

[@pharmacist250]

Maybe I shouldn’t ask this, but do you divulge the location here? I am going to Montana in early September and have been looking for smaller streams to fish near Missoula. Thanks Drew. Love the channel.

[@scottnock5241]

Awesome Drew again!! Sorry about the rod, you mentioned in a past video you had a broken rod previously. Are you down 2 now? Do you try and get to a shop and send them in for repair on the road? Or just pick up new ones?

[@wildbrookies]

Hey Drew, loving your videos! Been trying the ones that will pertain to what I’ll be doing in a few years. We’re heading out west with a built out van and I need to ask you a question. I remember in one of your videos of an app. you mentioned that came of great importance to you while being out in those western states . It told you not only most of the streams , but access and other pertinent info. I tried going back and watching your videos that I thought you mentioned the app in to no avail. So, I’m hoping you can just reply to my comment when you get the time, I’m sure you don’t have much time given , these awesome videos that have my blood flowing for a cutthroat on a fly. I’m from upstate New York. And have beautiful trout but would love to hook and release some of those gorgeous cutties. Are these native Cutts or wild Cutts. Their fins are not that if any stockers. Thanks and hope to chat again. Tightlines !

[@LooknFishy]

Outstanding! No I don't have an app I use. I have two vids that talk about the resources I use. Heres the first one I made...kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXibc5eqi9qNkMU

[@MickAgostini]

Hi Drew, I appreciate your adventures and have learned a lot. I'm planning my own trip out west in late August to do something similar to what your doing... Wyoming/Montana. Can you advise what helps you use to find some of the areas your fishing? Thank you... Mick

[@LooknFishy]

Got a 2 videos on my channel on how I find streams.

[@chesterpielock8824]

Drew’s ducks!

[@viking7560]

New product idea, duck spray instead of bear spray!

[@thetinkercook5430]

Do you catch and cook ever?

[@Pwrcritter]

The bear spray owner was probably dinner for a bear.

[@LooknFishy]

For sure lol!

[@ryantherock7664]

Hey Drew Flourocarbon or mono for your leader/tippet?

[@chuckstranahan5600]

Mono all the way, except for special circumstances. Use discretion, and consider: Fluoro has the half-life of atomic waste. Breakoffs with fluoro last forever whereas mono will eventually rot. Even a short chunk of fluoro left in a stream can, say, entrap the foot of a water ouzel pecking away at nymphs underwater. That bird dies, and next year it's another, and another, and another. I gave fluoro a good try and found that it breaks differently than a good grade of copolymer mono, but isn't stronger. I don't use it at all in smaller diameres because of the breakoff/permanent pollution factor. In heavier sizes for streamer use it has some merit, but tends to chafe against rocks and lose fish - whereas Maxima doesn't. I've abandoned fluoro for environmental reasons and now stick to the new Trout Hunter or Rio copolymer tippet and leaders for most dry and nymph trout fishing, and 8# or heavier Maxima for streamers and big nymphs. That combination, suited to the putpose at hand, is better to fish and better for peace of mind than fluoro.

[@jimpyle560]

You’re making it look easy, and I know it’s not.

Dude, you HAVE to talk slower!!! So many people comment about it. It’s nearly impossible to even understand what you’re saying. We love watching your videos and think you rock with a fly rod, but damn…when you talk, it’s irritating when trying to hear/understand what you’re using, what you’re doing, etc…PLEASE SLOW down.
