Jablo has always fished different. He showed me some hydraulic holes that I never even looked at during my time as a guide. He’s also an amazing Human. Super nice and it makes me happy to see him still on the greatest river in North America. 2005 was the year I shared a lodge with him for a season

[@robsnotes4u]

My wife fish there this year, and sat next to Henry Winkler for Supper at the Palisades. Loved it

[@ryanmurdock6017]

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your channel! I’m only 3 months into the art/sport of fly fishing and I am so grateful for the information - thank you so much!

[@DigD97]

I live about 20 miles from there and have yet to go. Time to hit the river

[@russellingaroundoutdoors]

Great video! I look forward to my trips on the South Fork with The Lodge at Palisades Creek every year.

Moved to Labelle/Rigby and after getting no fish this evening I found your video while trying to learn. Thank you so much. I’m excited to get back out and to try some new things. :)

Thanks 👍

Already have the tingles. Great intro.

Glad you liked it!!

[@mattier3030]

i hooked into the biggest brown trout I have ever seen on the South Fork...6:30 am.....moved water like a Croc....rolled on my streamer...hooked it...unreal....15lbs

[@geraldg7420]

When you are pounding the bank for browns on a swift river, you have to have a super-quick set. It is maddening to see all that great water go so quickly by. Good video.

[@Troutbum83422]

Yes, I found that the hardest part of guiding is not where to throw a cast, but where to save your energy and time. Focus on the better water.

Try fishing the N. Henry's Fork of the Snake River. Between Henry's Lake and the upstream dam is a paradise. In the summer of 1962 I was next to a man that pulled in a10 lb Rainbow on a dry caddis. Henry's Lake was giving up 5+ Lb brook, brown & rainbows that summer.

[@MrStubG]

It still produces big fish every year. Such a beautiful area

[@Paulpoission]

I can’t wait to hit the St Joe this summer for some cutts!!

[@mikecoughlin5419]

"quiet body...strong arm" great advice!

[@Troutbum83422]

Right? I can’t believe I, along with so many other people are guilty of this. Such a subtlety in the casting world. I promise that your arm, neck, back etc will be grateful for the adjustment to quiet body. It’s not possible all the time, but a goal to strive for. 👍

[@timreidy6644]

River mantra! Gotta love "perfect" Josh! I am still waiting for him to pull the treasured wig out of his boat and drop it on Mark for a final photo. The TLAPC outfit is amazing.

[@johnkoelz5342]

Fantastic show!

[@newflyfisher]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnroberts4834]

I watched a video of The New Fly Fisher at the Palisade Lodge in Victor Idaho but I can't find that video. The guide explained the new system of trout catch and release to get the native cutthroats back. A thing was put in the hybrid trout nose and if you caught one of those they would mail you a check. There was no limit on hybrid,browns or rainbows. Great video but when I went back to the KZbin link it was a different video. I hope this rings a bell.

[@deric999]

Ya not sure about the video but I was just on the south fork Teton today. Not harvest of cutthroat but we can keep all the rainbows and hybrid in the Teton at least. This was three years ago and I don’t remember anything in the proc about the nose thing but they do collect heads at some places and some fish are tagged.

[@ryansanders6979]

yooo that first cutty on the dry was not even close to 17. I'm I right? or crazy. not a hater btw love these videos.

[@Jrad28]

Not even close bro...ditto for the first Cutty on the second day. Guy has NO CLUE what 17" is.

[@tinoyb9294]

Cutts or cutthroats but please not cutties!

[@dadeking5472]

haha I was thinking the exact same thing, the brown trout I caught the other day must have been over 24" with that scale!

Daniel, Ever fished Alaska? Howabout 10,12 lb native wild rainbows???just saying how it is up here in Alaska!😳😉👍

[@billobrien3559]

As a retired FF guide, you should always be realistic about fish size and weight. It’s actually doing your client a favor. When they do catch their first legit 20” fish it will be all the more exciting.

[@texasrangerwalker8945]

Can you spin fish this area

[@newflyfisher]

not sure, you would have to check the regulations. good question

[@texasrangerwalker8945]

@@newflyfisher from BC Canada been looking up the regs but can't find anything on it only fish retention limits and boundaries

[@44beebe]

Yes a silver vibrax works great. Many places in Idaho require you to use a single barbless hook though. The fly fishermen will give you dirty looks for using a spinner(you're more likely to spook the fish with a spinner) but you will likely catch more and bigger fish if you know how to do it right. One cast maybe two per hole is all you get before the fish are spooked. But you're way more likely to catch a fish on the first cast with a spinner.

[@danepatrick5422]

FULL OF OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS!!!!!!!!!!....... ..........

[@big1dog23]

Strange program. In Oregon w/o much public input they want people to kill browns in the stretch of the Deschutes where Fall river empties into it. The Browns compete with the native bows. Many trophy browns lurk in that section of the D, and most fishers would like to keep it that way. I guess Idaho doesn't want to get rd of it's trophy browns, but in fact, they are capable of eating even larger rainbows. Oh well.

[@kevinhenderson5818]

Lo)

[@oak8728]

The guide at the end of the show would have me going insane as a client. I hope he acts differently off camera as some people can get a little arrogant on film.

[@cspruitt3190]

I totally disagree. The guy is a genius. Stevie Wonder could see it. He knows it and everyone watching can see it. His matter-of-fact presentation of hard won, experience earned knowledge is worth more than a tip could compensate.

[@benjamfl]

Seemed great to me. I’d love to fish with him for a day

[@Troutbum83422]

If you cannot have fun out there, which includes enjoying sarcasm, laughter, stories, razzing each other, etc then please stay on your home water. Nobody wants a grump. All in good fun. Guide is telling it like it is, and yes, camera tells only part of the story. The rest you have to see for yourself.

[@Troutbum83422]

Benjamin, personally 18 years on 65 miles of that river. Pretty good odds. We would have fun! You should come out!

[@fishing_amy]

Looks like fun

[@matt2162000]

What are the chances of catching a fish with a tag in it? Could I make a living fishing? Lol

[@newflyfisher]

I say you give it a try and report back!

[@moneillaz]

Bass fisherman have no clue. Bass are so easy to catch. Try fly fishing!

[@timbillings6884]

? Do you really need a guide! 🤷🏻‍♂️ I have fished the snake didn't need no Guide! We used to teach tying and casting for TU. Just go fishing people!!!

[@Troutbum83422]

Guarantee we can show you things you didn’t realize you could do. Guiding is about taking all walks of life. People who are paralyzed, autistic, blind, deaf, 4yrs old, 97 years old. In between are the people who “fished all over the world and know everything” , to the young man who saved his money bagging groceries and go on his dream trip. If you know everything then you should just stop fishing. Because then, what are you fishing for? These are all examples of the demographic we deal with. Be humbled on the river and you then have gone fishing.

[@joshbeekman3166]

I agree with this. I have nothing against guides or guided trips, if it gets people on the water, that's great. For me, a huge part of the fun is learning the sport myself. I love researching, practicing and experimenting by myself. I have only been fly fishing for 3 years and truthfully, I am very much an amateur. I probably don't catch as many fish as I could and that is more than OK with me. It really isn't about catching tons of fish. It's about developing techniques, learning a river, getting better each time out. And of course, I love the tranquility and peacefulness of fishing solo or with a good buddy. It would drive me absolutely nuts paying good money to have someone else telling me "keep your rod up" or "mend it!" all day long. But that is just me. DIY all day.

[@scotteinarj]

To guide or not to guide that is the question….

[@pappywan]

Not recommended if you have never been there. Constantly fluctuating flows and hydraulics can get you in deep doo doo ☠️

[@tinoyb9294]

Please, not "cutties".

[@stevestokes1123]

Why not just harvest the rainbows and cut bows and either enjoy the harvest with your family or donate the fish to your local food banks to feed the less fortunate families? The cost to shock, tag, and pay out "bounties" can't be less than just eating or donating the food. So Idaho considers a cash incentive as a conservation concept? No it isn't. It is more of a privileged person's ridiculous idea of solving a problem that human intervention has created. It is absurd to hide behind the idea the problem is also because "the river is so healthy. " No, the river was fine, human intervention created a problem, man tried to fix the problem, and then created another worse problem. I guess the privileged would rather attached a cash reward to an epic fishing trip that most fisherman dream about. We here in Missouri have an overpopulation of white tail deer, extra harvesting is encourage by landowner and the meat is donated.
