Fly Fishing & Surfing the Oregon Coast with Goth Babe Music

Back in June, I got to link up with one of my favorite musicians, Goth Babe on the Oregon coast. We got to fish the coastal streams around the area and I even got to try my shot at surfing for the first time. Griff (AKA @gothbabemusic755) is one of the kindest and most talented people I've met and I'm lucky to call him a friend. He shares some inspiring wisdom on balancing your work with play and how he's been able to grow in his craft as a musician. Enjoy!

Scottie, you seem to be worried about burn out. As a small business owner and wife is a nurse, We know what you mean. Good friends are priceless. Don't burn bridges. Stay true to yourself. You have a pretty sweet gig.

[@averyatkinsonmedia]

Holy F**k. Thank you Wild Fly. Thank you Goth Babe. Every new Wild Fly video that comes and is always my "new favorite". This was no exception. So much more than just fishing. Life experiences and not being to hung up on monetary value. Scotty and Sam, yall are both such talented film makers & story tellers. Thank you for building & creating something so much more than fishing. I absolutely love seeing Griff in his nature habitat and just being himself. No mask, no major media. Just a dude and his dog doin what he loves. Cheers Wild Fly & Goth Babe!

[@WildFlyProductions]

We really appreciate it, dude! Griff was an amazing host and we're just grateful to share some of his story. Cheers!

[@andrewknight2649]

I say this every time, but this is the most wholesome fly fishing content on the planet. Scottie makes you feel something, reflect on life and dream big.

[@goobajc]

Great video as always, I was just in Oregon last week chasing steelhead all the way from the east coast! No cutites this time but you sure got them dialed in!

[@darwjames]

so hyped you guys came to my home rivers and fished such an overlooked fishery!

[@stocks365]

Mine as well. Also thankful they didn’t name places

[@nathancubitt7620]

You are fishing the places I learned to fly fish. Thank you for showing the wonderful places I call my home. Come back for the salmon fly hatch on the Deschutes!!

[@9thgradejackass]

How this channel doesn’t have a billion subs is beyond me. The content is always outstanding and always comes with some thoughtful and heartfelt advice/words. GOAT!

[@andrewchapman2491]

Welcome to Oregon Scotty….now you know. And there’s soooo much more.

[@mattdelatorre1018]

You know that ending speech hit home to me. I’ve lately been working overtime as a first responder that I haven’t given myself time to enjoy the outdoors. Think I need to do that more. Thank you

[@pbprof21]

Scottie, this might be one of your greatest pieces of art yet. I can’t put into words how well this episode was put together. Between the story telling, music video directing with the goth babe crew footage, and production…well done. Your abilities as a creative are endless. In time, those of us here now will look back on this wild fly chapter of your life as an early chapter in what will be a long and great book.

[@TechAssuranceATL]

Scottie, keep Painting Pictures, and Telling Stories…your videos draw the viewer in to truly feel the experience, as if we are right there with you. So good,

[@Lemurs]

One of my fav vids

[@JosiahLaser]

Anyone else get hard for winter fishing when fall hits???

[@livinglikeahuman7918]

Slight chub

[@JosiahLaser]

@@livinglikeahuman7918 the water fixes my sciatic, it's quiet, you can carry 10 flies or less, it all slows down, no ones out.. ahh im at half chub just thinking about it

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice , been practicing life for 74 years and what I’ve found out is keep an open mind and never stop being curious. You will all of a sudden some day see the pages and chapters of the book of your life start making sense and it’s at that point you think , how cool is this . Thanks for sharing your life with us .Happy Trails

[@driftstone]

100% your best video yet. Everything, perfect!

[@cosmicalsounds]

As a massive Goth Babe fan, I can easily say that the production quality of this video is phenomenal! Cinematography is amazing, editing is amazing, and the tone is perfect. Amazing job Wild Fly!

[@chiefsfan1533]

Same!

[@WoodsNorth]

Those little river cutties remind me of catching brook trout up here in New England. Pretty wild that they are just a stones throw from the Pacific. Excellent work as always here boys 🤝🏼

[@jkylel7401]

Another exquisite human story from Wild Fly. Life woven through fly fishing, and sewed to the soul. PS...those redband bow's are some of the toughest bow's in the United States. I always thought Kenai River rainbows had the glory...but i was dead wrong.

[@timedmonds2315]

Awesome! If I had to describe heaven it would look a lot like the coastline of Oregon! Don't let the world suck you dry, it will show no mercy. The power of the word "NO" is OK to use, protect yourself and keep the balance. Great work guys, both of you!

[@daveschlom4033]

I feel like the oldster I am. But this made me vibe my younger self and "My favorite things." Surfing, fly fishing for trout and music (I apologize for having no idea who Goth Babe is but what an amazing person and artist). Beyond that, and what you beautifully captured here: the vitally important immersive experience of nature. I have bobbed in waves and waded in rivers. It's the same wonderful thing. Bless you and I hope we can all keep on experiencing the wild part of our pale blue dot. Fantastic film!

[@Skypager_TFTC]

Apart from the hair, could not keep you two apart 😂 Awesome video, lovely bow. Keep up the good work.

[@pauljfinn1]

This video tugged on all my heart strings. Being a surfer myself I find a lot of similarities between fly fishing and surfing; the fleeting moments of ecstasy contrasted by days of getting skunked. To me the key to preventing burn out is the constant pursuit of serenity in these (or whatever) activities knowing that they aren’t a guaranteed success on a given day. I can rinse repeat at my day job knowing that a redbow like that one might lay just around the bend, or that tomorrow might be the day I get the set wave. Please keep up these incredible productions, you’ve gained a forever fan. PS I was already a fan of Goth Babe, now that I’ve “met” Griff, the hook is set!

[@tjadenarcher6083]

Man, this is exactly what I had hoped this video would be! So glad that you got to get out here and enjoy some Oregon fishing, that was an awesome redband, and I’m really happy that our coastal cutties gave you the show we Oregonians are used to from living here ;)

[@NotTheMedicH60]

Life is about making memories, because in the end that's all we got.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Amen, brother!

[@robinson8888]

What a great film, thank you.

[@user-lt3cc1kg3z]

Griff seems chill, loved the video. The west coast is BEAUTIFUL!

[@martinhodell8465]

Wow- two of my favorites (Wild Fly & Goth Babe)! Looking forward to this!

[@gaevinduffy7706]

Scottie, not just another “masterpiece” by Wild Fly. Beyond insightful and your introspective story-telling continues to help is all.

[@joshuamillard37]

So glad you were able to come and enjoy my home state. Please come back and check out some more. Love everything you do Scottie, you’re truly one of the best creators out there and the effort you put in does not go unnoticed. Keep it up man, but don’t forget to rest and take some time for yourself, we’ll always be here when you come back!

[@itsyatess]

Went to Oregon last September, had a blast!! Will definitely be going back. Another awesome video!!

[@jakekaiser1399]

Really powerful filmmaking and storytelling on this one and love the inclusion of Goth Babe's story and lessons. As a big fan of his music and currently making the difficult choice to deprioritize my main and successful musical project this one struck home and was just what I needed in this moment of uncertainty. Also production and visuals were inspiring as always and show me how much I have to learn as an aspiring filmmaker.

[@FROGGOON541]

Born on the coast raised in southern ore and sir uou did us justice on this one ty for not dropping all spot names and locations we wanna keep this state as pure as possible as you showed exactly that I appreciate this and you just introduced me to a new music artist ill always appreciate that

[@aaronwidder9624]

Next, y'all need to come to western new mexico and fish for Gila Trout! Such a beautiful fish, and rare!

[@CommanderCud]

It was really cool hearing Griff playing the acoustic version of Canary Islands. He has a wonderful voice! I'd love to see a full acoustic version of some of his stuff released.

[@OutdoorsPodcast]

Such a multifaceted film Scottie. You did such a nice job weaving between the various aspects of Grifs life and telling a compelling story with beautiful camera work as always.

[@SavageAnglingUSA]

Amazing video. Wild Fly brings such epic video footage but the way you tell the story keeps me so engaged. I grew up fishing, diving, and surfing the Oregon Coast. This video brought me back.

[@beneisinger5840]

Great, great video. Put a wild fly sticker on the back of my truck yesterday, very happy with my decision after watching this video. Keep it up!

[@WesWright-xl2rr]

Another Banger! I always appreciate the way you tell a story in these video's to tie it all together.

[@bradscharff1816]

Scottie, I enjoyed this last effort. You're becoming such a good storyteller, and the production/narrative quality of your work is fantastic. Griff seems to have an awareness about life's different facets that I didn't appreciate until I got a little older. You have work you can be really proud of.

[@user-vc5tr9si3j]

Scotty, your level of production is amazing! These videos keep getting better and better, love seeing the conversation about being creative and managing your goals! Would love to see more guests / creatives on the water

[@robertclark6204]

Thank you for not blowing up river names, town names, etc. respect Blessings

[@brett9382]

Hope you guys are able to get out and do another shor bus diaries. Those are still my favorite fishing series.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Outstanding work

[@dankochanek8056]

This is probably your best work to date. I was hoping for Alaska but Oregon is rad as well.

[@juliandawkins2633]

Just moved to west Texas from Colorado to start my first job in the oilfield. Love the reminder to not take life too seriously and overwork. It’s so easy to just fall into the grind and wake up months or years later. Great vibes griff and Scottie!

[@FishingWithNorm]

Favorite video I have watched on KZbin in a long time great work guys masterpiece!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Wow, thanks a ton Norm!

[@Nrussell11]

Super cool that Scotty encourages Sam to partake in the fun!

[@richwarner6376]

Deep video, love it, relate to it. Glad you were able to make it out here to Oregon!

[@OscarOverlanding]

As always, thank you for your beautiful and inspiring work!!!

[@loricollins3163]

This was enjoyable on so many levels…thank you.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

That was epic Scott 👍🏻 Just discovered his music a few months ago. Now I really like it knowing where it comes from.

[@willbroderick9884]

I never comment on KZbin, but I just had to say that the production value of this episode is unparalleled. This content is superb and inspires me to get outdoors and see what life’s all about. Excited to see what’s next for Wildlfy!

[@kvzaustin]

I love Goth Babe even more now! He’s an angler! Super cool.

[@henryleslievermont6004]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@DillonAdventure]

that was great, thanks for sharing!

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Very inspiring thanks homies .

[@SpillwayAnglers]

The crossover I never knew I needed (I felt like I was listening to my playlist the whole video such a vibe man). Now if only we can get a Spillway Anglers x Wild Fly South Florida episode for peacock bass, snook, tarpon, and other species 🤙🏼

[@getmitchordietryin]

When worlds collide. This is the collaboration i didn’t know I needed. Cheers

[@jega157]

Nice....thanks for the personal insights.

[@wjholes6883]

Beautiful videos and beautiful words!

[@MrPanther2012]

By far the most interesting piece you guys put out! super cool! thx

[@Coal354]

Amazing vid! I love seeing two things I love cross over. I think Griffs music works perfectly with this content. Well done and love to see how far your content has come and excited to see how far it will go!

[@kabong42]

Most genuine and extraordinarily beautiful

[@peterholmes5161]

Another amazing video.

[@codycook9610]

The video quality and vibes never disappoint! NEVER! and its awesome with you being so close to my home. I absolutely love living in this part of the country and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! Every video just gets better and i always cant wait for the next one to drop! Keep em comin!

[@jameskarlak4626]

Very cool 😎. I misspent my adulthood there in Oregon. Bought a house in Bend but…now the rest in the Rockies! Thanks for the memories! Jamie in Wyoming

[@BlueLinerMedia]

The fact that you have free range to GothBabes music in the video makes it so cool! Awesome work!

[@TheMrThomasson]

I've been a fan of Goth Babe long before I found your youtube channel but I am a big fan of both. This video fills me with happiness to get a Wild Fly video and a behind the scenes look at an artist I love. Thank you!

[@a._media]

Amazing as always. I couldn't ask for a better collab!

[@treydej8377]

Best wild fly film I’ve probably ever watched and enjoyed. Thanks for sharing; I value you, your intern, your mom (cause I know she’s a big support to you and your page), and griff too! Enjoy this life, kid!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Bloody hell mate. Your vids just keep getting better and better. That ending was so so good. Such true words spoken. I've recently been dealing with creative burnout. It's so easy to get wrapped up in the constant grind of KZbin and hustling for money; but it's so important to take a step back, put the camera down from time to time, try new experiences and just live. Love your work mate.

[@jacobzirkle9153]

Scottie come out in September, the big adult Cutties come in. Crazy good fishing.

[@LighthouseImages]

👏👏👏🙏👍Well done Scottie! I actually enjoyed this best out of all your work this year! Keep it up! Outfitting everyone was amazing!

[@KimchiJerry]

Commenting before the video ends because when I saw he had a collab with Goth Babe I was instantly hyped 🔥 Goth Babes music is such a vibe 💯 Continuing watching video…..

[@southernhood5145]

So glad you got to go surfing man. surfing and flyfishing were my first loves, then came mountain biking and other outdoor pursuits, but surfing and flyfishing are my first outdoor loves, they encompass so much about being wild.

[@gozieerondu1992]

Goth babe is my fav artist! As an engineer, his insight on how he approaches creative work is very insightful. I def have to remind myself to give some space and time to do the fun things that I can draw inspiration from for the creative work I do with robotics. Just found your page with this video and happy to subscribe. Thanks for this!

[@gardnerjake1]

By far best fly fishing channel!

[@JosephLager]

Wow, what an amazing video!

[@WildBlueDiscovery]

Great video and wonderful story! Keep up the awesome work! Tightlines!

[@lucaskemmerling3151]

This was so sick - the collab of the year

[@ChrisFar]

Fk ya love this. That one sequence right after the concert was 🔥🔥🔥

[@adventuretimefishinghunting]

Great Video Scotty! Really enjoyed the chill Vibes!

[@apbassing]

[@WildFlyProductions]

[@fishhandsfranky]

Great tribute to the connections we make with other artists and creators. Awesome film man.

[@gripitandstickit2264]

[@dazookeeper253]

[@samb4733]

Another banger!!

[@fullcircle7284]

Keep on Truckin Brother!

[@paddleandhook]

Scotty, great work as always. You are one talented fellow (and im certain the intern is too)! This video spoke to me, offering some good perspective on work/life balance and burnout. Thank you for that

[@bjblanch]

Great Video! I am an old-man so wasn't aware of Goth Babe...However, I am familiar with life and the fly-fishing experience. This was a very refreshing video that hits on the life theme extremely well. Well done to all! I will look for more of your videos in the future! Tight Lines

[@wesleysmith6018]

Gods Grace, Scottie we love the real shit!

[@anthonycarney2160]

You gotta release the full vid of canary islands acoustic 🙌🏼

[@WildFlyProductions]

Hmm...

[@nicks2068]

Great video, so many new experiences and great content. Hope you can get the old short bus crew back together at some point for some cutthroat and bull trout fishing. I live in BC and love all the wildfly videos, the whole time I've gotten into fly fishing I've been following your vids.

[@dawnfirephotography]

Great video

[@dgsevier]

Scottie’s vids have a very “This American Life” vibe to them. It’s like NPR for the eyes.

[@maknifeandrods7701]

That was one of the best videos you have don’t. I believe it helps plenty of people who ask those same questions
