Ahhhh Gros Ventre cuties. I spent a lot of time up growing up there doing the same thing. Another great video Kirk. Dave Ream

I did not make it over there until the late 60's, but love it when I make it and the fish are in. Any family still up that way?

Wow, that was a mighty productive stream. Beautiful fish and a nice video. Thanks for sharing!

[@nicholskk]

Glad you enjoyed it! We were cycling in the San Juans last week!

Nice video and very nice fish. I expect to fish the Gros Ventre in the coming season. Seems it should be fun if conditions allow...

[@bradleyrobinson8316]

Nice! Headed there this August. You video is the only one that shows nice fish for that stream. All the other ones I've seen shows little dinks.

[@nicholskk]

Cutthroat seasonally migrate, in a high snow year the larger fish are up in the headwaters during mud season and hard to catch. By the time of clearing water, often, only the small resident trout remain. Best of luck on your trip. This video was shot on a low runoff year when the water never muddied.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing

[@PaulTenenbaum]

After all those trout you caught and you're having chicken for dinner? No seriously, nice footage, thanks.

Wow is amazing friends,,I like it

[@noelslater822]

Wow, I really enjoyed this! Beautiful setting to camp, and you totally crushed it as far as the fishing goes! Well done! Looks like you were mostly Euro nymphing? Any dry fly action at all? Some truly beautiful fish! Thanks for sharing!

[@nicholskk]

Three stretches of time in there were dries.

[@noelslater822]

@@nicholskkNot surprised. Beautiful water! Was the action better with dries or nymphs?

[@nicholskk]

@@noelslater822 Nymphs and streamers earlier finding heavier fish, dries later for sight-fishing smaller fish. Both good action.

[@noelslater822]

@@nicholskk Awesome. Thank you for your insight!

[@warrenkolodziejski863]

coming up from Jackson in August to fish above lower slide lake where is best access to park and walk along the river in this area for a half day of fly fishing?

[@dougbrown3498]

Awesome video!! What time of year were you there??

[@davidtelenko2638]

Is this the Gros Ventre River or a feeder stream?

[@bptraveler6608]

I'm a newbee and heading to the Gros Ventre Campground soon, have you fished there? What size flies/hooks are you using.

[@nicholskk]

Only above the lake. Sz. 12 - 18 flies, nymphs were better than dries.

[@bptraveler6608]

@@nicholskk Thanks.

[@stevemd8947]

Great video. Did fish above or below the town of Kelly? Did you see any bears?

[@nicholskk]

I chased a bear out of this camp and over the ridge north-west toward Kelly a few years back; none this year.

[@chorizobandito8943]

Was it a grizzly brother?

You have to at at least one or you insult the fish.
