Fly Fishing KATMAI NATIONAL PARK by Todd Moen - ALASKA FLY FISHING

[@ai_fortunes]

Might be one of the best bites caught on camera in history- 9:38

[@KenJohnsonFlyfishing]

Another great video, Todd! It was cool to see you help narrate this one. One of the things that I really like about your videos is that there is no audible swearing. I mentor a middle school fishing club and it's nice to be able to show a quality fishing video without having to mute the sound.

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks Ken. I appreciate this feedback. It’s all about the kids, glad you’re able to share these films. Thanks for the support.

[@MancingTanago]

Todd Moen is the best fishing videographer and his work is truly inspiring and high quality.

[@WSFScotland]

The shot of the big rainbow taking the dry is simply magical!!! Lovely film!!!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks! 👍

[@cachi-7878]

@3:00, so that’s what the Man, the Legend looks like. Another home run, Todd. Beautiful video!

[@CatchMagazine]

Haha, yep that’s me. Thought I should be in at least one film over the past 15 years. 🫡 Thanks for the support!

[@PhelpsontheFly]

I enjoyed seeing the man behind the camera. The foreground dry fly eat shot was next level. Thanks for being an inspiration, Todd!

[@notpopebuthope]

2:47 What a wonderful pike ... trout as well!... So many great outstanding pictures and impressions in your video - awesome work - love it! ... BIG SALUT from Austria!

[@thomastero4662]

Unreal! Nobody does it better.

[@CatchMagazine]

Thank you!

[@andersjensen7132]

Unbelievable take. A thing of beauty. Well done Todd

[@edelms3255]

I've been to both the Royal Wolf & Big Ku for many years...not only is the fishing great, but the entire operation, staff & guides are the best. When I first came, I mostly focused on chucking streamers every day till my arm fell off...but the dry fly fishing can be fantastic...even throwing dry droppers with nymphs. Looking forward again to my trip to RW this early July.

[@CatchMagazine]

Have fun this year. You are a lucky guy!!! It’s the best of the best!

[@chrishockley3990]

Outstanding content! The quality of the shots really capture the beauty! Absolutely stunning! Thank you

[@daveschlom4033]

Making plans for Summer of '25. Can't wait.

[@CatchMagazine]

So great. Hope you have some great trips planned!

[@tomrivera8480]

Beautiful! What a dream trip! So many amazing shots, the giant rainbow going airborne the huge brown bear going airborne just feet from you guys, what the !!@#! So fun to watch thanks Todd!👍👍

[@frogwaterproductions]

That’s amazing Todd! Truly special place.

[@CatchMagazine]

AJ! Thanks buddy. Hope all is well.

[@Geoghillie]

Watched the online live video feeds from Brooks Falls all last summer. July 19th. was the day most fish jumping activity was seen. Also saw a few guys down in the river well below the falls. They were fly fishing and catching some fish. Didn't seem to be any conflict between bears and human fishers, but some close encounters! Only occasionally did one of the cameras zoom in on a fly guy. Mostly the camera operator panned away from the fly fishers as not to intrude on their privacy. Looked like a ton of fun. Cheers!

[@MancingTanago]

Every time I watch a video on the Catch Magazine KZbin channel by Todd Moen, I always get new inspiration for my next video content. A fishing trip in Alaska that is both thrilling and exciting. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful experience and good luck always and stay enthusiastic. Mancing Tanago from Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

[@jamesgilford157]

Todd, I comment on every video how great it is, so not to sound like a broken record, but this was another great one, done a little bit differently. This looked like an amazing trip. I also love your enthusiasm for dry fly fishing. Today, a lot of guys are really into nymphing and fishing streamers, but I'd much rather fish a dry than anything, to the point that I sometimes fish one when it might not catch as many fish. To catch fish this size on dries must be incredible. Thanks for another great video, and great to see you finally.

[@CatchMagazine]

Hi James! I always appreciate your comments so thanks. Yes, just something about fishing the dry, for me as a camera operator it really just comes down to how visual it is. But I’m with ya as a fisherman, I’d rather throw dries and not catch as many any day.

[@AndyMcEntire]

Really awesome, great watch! Heading there in August.

[@CatchMagazine]

Thank you!

[@fishingtv365]

Netflix need to air this asap!

[@JoesWildlifeAdventures]

Great video that take footage from the mozzie infested trees was awesome and the Brooks footages….well…..doesn’t get any better 👍👍

[@jackmogg3066]

Beautiful video and great storyline.

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks!

[@EeRock507]

Epic video Todd keep’em coming

[@CatchMagazine]

Thank you!

[@robtryall9036]

Great video, brings back some very fond memories of guiding in my youth up there for Anglers Alibi and Alagnak Lodge. Floated the American a few times and fished the braids as much as I could. Love that place!

[@giovannigatti3991]

Big rainbows in an outstanding location

[@CatchMagazine]

Hard to beat this place I agree!!!

[@Twinhemlocks]

Wow what an amazing adventure!! I now want to fish with the bears!!

[@CatchMagazine]

That’s just it. You truly are fishing right with that bears. Thanks for watching!

[@est9662]

Fantastic vid again Todd thx for sharing.😎

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks for watching and the support!

[@mdaley3102]

Holy cow, how cool is that. I’ve been to Brooks to see the bears but never thought of fishing with the. What an experience and I bet your adrenaline was pumping the whole time you were in the water. Fantastic video.

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks! Yeah, it’s was a very wild experience being surrounded by brown bears. So close you can hear their jaws crunching into the bones of the salmon as they feasted on them.

[@Paulpoission]

I’d rather be around a bunch of full bears than hungry ones I guess 😂

[@gavanhennessy4624]

Wow, that was fantastic Todd 👍

[@CatchMagazine]

Thank you!!!

[@arsk07A]

I love your channel!!! Im a flyfisherman from northern Finland. Its finally summer again. Time to catch some graylings and trouts!

[@CatchMagazine]

Glad you like them! I'm headed to Finland in two weeks!

[@Paulpoission]

Nice one Todd!! That cross river shot was epic!!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks man. Really appreciate that. Finally one of those shots just really works out!!

[@Paulpoission]

@@CatchMagazine dude, you have shots I could only dream about Todd. I’m trying to get better with my edits, but it’s so hard to dedicate to something like that knowing you can just catch it!!

[@enew252__]

Great video, cherish every summer up there.

[@ExplorerMaVu-pd9tm]

"Such a creative and engaging video!"

[@jimstegemeyer2808]

Awesome - as always. Thanks!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks Jim!

[@ericlecko]

Another great video. Thanks 👍

[@prolificnorthwest]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks!

[@robRobblah]

Fantastic video Todd!

[@CatchMagazine]

Glad you liked it!

[@easttnflyfreak2870]

Amazing thanks for sharing !

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks for watching!!

[@tommylimching7111]

Nice place and country for stay love it❤

[@SoMDHarleyRider]

Heaven!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks. I agree…. 👍

[@mkoenig57]

Great job. The transition from the raft splash to the airplane was genius! What frame rates do you shoot rising fish for slow motion? Thanks!

[@CatchMagazine]

Hold on … raft splash!!!??? Haha. Am I missing something here? 😅 Mostly film at 60fps, but some of the rises and bear shots are 120fps. 120fps max… nothing over that ever.

[@mkoenig57]

Thanks! Finding a camcorder that will do 120p ain’t no joke! The raft splash transition I mentioned was at 01:28. Great film!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Great film!

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

Braver man than I!

[@CatchMagazine]

😅 😅😅

[@stpmon2604]

Just moved to Anchorage for a job. Can't wait til summer. Unfortunately trading 7-8 months of fly fishing a year for 4.

[@mikecoughlin5419]

Just curious if the rainbows are that selective? So if there's a green drake hatch, would they take a caddis or even a mouse pattern? Beautiful film!

[@CatchMagazine]

We tried a mouse and fished it hard with no hook ups. Had a few giant refusals. I think these trout would eat a caddis or even a stimulator… any attractor when they are really feeding hard.

[@mikecoughlin5419]

@@CatchMagazine thanks again for the great film.

[@bavariasuhl]

that looks awesome

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks!!!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

I dreamt to fish one day in Alaska.

[@joshcastrejon710]

Now that is a good fishing soot

[@clydewaltenbaugh563]

This is all fantastic and beautiful, but how much would something like this run the average person not affiliated with a Magazine or business? Thanks.

[@mattstout856]

Naknek River lodge is a great option. $4995 for 7 day trip including a trip to brooks falls. Covers meals, lodging and fishing. Flights to and from Naknek airport are on your own and you will want to bring an additional 20% for gratuities for staff and guides. Worth every penny. They offer fly out options as well.

[@alekskozirevs9657]

Продолжение , это красиво!

[@jdebell7068]

When was this filmed,it seems to green to be this spring already??

[@Myfishing07_ZA]

Beauty 👍👍👍

[@beau6350]

Ok that’s it when I get out of the army I’m treating myself to an Alaska fly fishing trip haha

[@Mountain_Bike_Archaeology]

Someone put a handy blue r.i.b, right at the place your bushwhacking brought you out! 😇

[@ropeman3916]

Total BS. Great filming , that is undeniable. RWL still thinks they are the only one's out there for some reason.

[@ruebdogg1]

I think a mosquito bite me while watching this!

[@CatchMagazine]

HA! Good one!

[@fishingtv365]

How often does a bear get aggressive or tries to attack a fishermen??

[@mattstout856]

Rarely if ever. I have found more people wanting a bear story to bring back home. They rarely experience a charge, or any aggressive behavior. By late July, they are salmon drunk and focused on one thing…. Now bears in Denali and over in MT/WY, different behavior.

[@janetsagecottrell8518]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@robgrubb420]

please take me!

[@tenkarapondfishing4611]

You're not concerned about all those bears? Are you carrying bear spray? A sidearm? Any close calls?

[@Rangeley]

6 more days up here

[@williamlutsch4259]

I consider myself an underprivileged fly fisherman. Hard for me to scrape together money for the ever-increasing cost of fishing license and i need new line this season.

[@kelsowilz2522]

That's the Alaska I dream about but the Alaska I have nightmares about disappearing in😐.

[@ToniBoordane]

Todd where does that Fat rainbow tank on your list of top take recorded on camera?? That’s unreal.

[@larrycoonrod5563]

I never got paying thousands of dollars to hire an adult babysitter to show you where to fish and what to fish with.

[@Queequeg61]

Well, if you want to fish in that area, unless you’ve got disposable time, income, and your own plane you’re never going to get there.

[@DowdyDownRiver]

Never got or never could?? Pretty sure everyone knows what you mean regardless of what you say or what you want people to believe. 😂

[@Queequeg61]

I worked at that lodge as the mechanic, if you add up airfare, the lodge itself, and tip, you’re looking at about 16,000.00 for a week of fly fishing. (Per person)

[@mojoe2690]

On the plus side, I dont think I heard the words "sick", or "lets go", once. Ill retire to my bare bulb hovel now..

[@mojoe2690]

Like a commercial with commercials! "Parking lots" full of float planes, take a number fishing, two hour hikes to get away from the crowd.. Hard pass. Ill just seek the local rivers that haven't been turned into a theme park for fishermen by sellout guides and lodges....Yet...

[@Trucha801]

You’re fly fishing with grizzlies in sight, relax bud that’s pretty cool

[@ethangarland8034]

Your local rivers have 24 inch rainbows that eat dry flies?

[@ropeman3916]

The Beaver is the GOAT. The Helio is great but only when it's not fully loaded, which is almost never in this arena. You are not going places nobody else is bud.

[@micuzzu67]

Mosquitoes are worse than bears!

[@saidbenzekri8426]

invading bears territory of hunt just for fun it's not a very wise move this animals deserve some respect .
