FLY FISHING THE COLORADO RIVER | LEES FERRY (EP 101)

The #1 question we get is “what is your favorite place” and our answer is always the same. It’s impossible to compare the beauty of two extremes. Lees Ferry is an extreme. This destination is a site in Marble Canyon on the Colorado River separating Arizona from Utah. It will feel like you’re at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and in a way you are. To make this destination even more magical, it’s directly below the Glen Canyon damn that is breathtaking in its accomplishment.
Horse Shoe Bend is a highly visited destination near Page, AZ. It was our first destination of SN1. Now two years later, we are at the same place, but 1,400 feet below on the water. Temperatures at Lees Ferry can reach well over 100 degrees, but the water temperate doesn’t change from 48 degrees. Fly Fishing at Lees Ferry is one of the few places in the world you can get hyperthermia from the waist down and heat stroke from the waist up!
Big thanks to Lees Ferry Anglers for the opportunity to fish with them and record a special day. Thanks to Captain Jimmy for showing us a great time and putting so many fish in the boat.

Really like the music + scenery at 13:13. It really brings home the vastness of the landscape and how humbling it can be.

[@rd-yp8zf]

This is the best Lees Ferry video - ever ! I love fishing in Lees.

[@crv20051]

Nicely done, I appreciate the gentle pace and quiet video at times. Always a pleasure.

[@daveswaisgood7995]

Your kids Trish and Marc have grown a ton in 2 yrs! Happy for you that you've been able to build some lifetime great memories! Enjoy it all!!!

[@jimyswerld4705]

Every time you put out a new video Mark ,i think very well done he has stepped it up a notch. well i think this video has totally blown me away with the high production of the work you have done with this one .Awesome Awesome Awesome 👍👍👍.

[@miketomas8564]

Very Beautiful area! The Vermilion Cliffs area has always been one of my favorite areas in Arizona and I use to drive Skylink up past there all the time on my way up to Colorado City and St George to cover the Warren Jeffs Trial and stories on the FLDS with Joe Dana. I would always make it a point to stop for about an hour at Jacob Lake Lodge. Now that we've got a coach, I'm hoping to take my Aunt and her boyfriend up that way to the North Rim. I've lived here all my life and have never made it to the north rim, and since the boyfriend hasn't seen the Grand Canyon- Why not do both. Now, Thanks to you, I've got it in my head of finding a guided tour boat to take my elderly aunt and boyfriend up the river and around the horseshoe on a nice calm boating excursion! Your episode was beautifully shot Guys! You did very well at capturing the serenity of this little known and often missed areas of Arizona Beauty! Trish: I hope your having a great Mother's day.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

One of these days Trish is going to remember what “action time” means to Marc.......hahahaha soooo funny !!! Amazing video and you two are just fun to watch !

[@4blake]

Guys you knocked this one out of the park. Your videography and editing is amazing! Nicely done! So beautiful and definitely a place that we'd love to go to.

[@markmccurdy1152]

So, I have watched all of seasons 1,2,3, most of 4 and a handful of others and the current season which I believe is 8, and this is with out a doubt my favorite episode of all. Absolutely beautiful and very inspiring to get out and make memories with your family. My family would love a trip like this, will put this one on the “to do list” for sure..

[@kathymills1959]

Thoroughly enjoying your past videos!!! Loved your Alaska trip as well! I'm not an RV'er but still enjoy the traveling, hiking & adventures!

[@raymondschneider5217]

Looks like a LOT of fun, KYD. Thanks for taking us along!@

[@toh2002]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!!!! Oh ya, that Alaska hat joke was great... LOL

[@jamesfarnham1976]

OMGosh you two are too funny, I got my Alaska hat on and I'm still smiling!! Great underwater shots and really cool informative stuff. Thanks for all you two do! Jim.

[@WillEdmond]

I’m all about being in the outdoors and a great adventure. Loving your content

[@markroberts6163]

Thank you for sharing all of this. You seem to have found your calling. What a cool couple!

[@MrMLT67]

I came across your channel 2 weeks ago and have binge watched every video since then and now I’m eagerly waiting for a new video each Sunday. My wife is now hooked and I’m re-watching season one with her. Several years ago my family and I took a class A out west twice and up the Northeast to Maine also before we had to sell the RV. Driving a Class A through New Jersey and Boston had its share of “variables”. Watching your videos has given me the urge to do it again but with a travel trailer.

[@chrisbellofatto9179]

Another great video. The editing, music and the scenery was incredible. You put a lot of work into it and we appreciate very much. Definitely a must see destination!

[@1bike10]

My wife and I were at Lee's Ferry campground Easter weekend. Had no trouble getting a spot. If you get there early enough the prime spots have a great view of the Colorado river. It was also a great place for star gazing until the bright full moon.

[@27cwag]

I have watched all of your video's and always enjoy the story, however I wanted to take the time to compliment you on your videography and editing. This episode really stood out in all areas. Thank you for taking the time to produce such a high quality vlog and sharing your travels. We have purchased helpful products based on your recomendations and visited several locations better prepared because of things learned while watching your trips. Safe travels.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Wow! Thanks :)

[@montydanable]

After the first few minutes in the canyon I knew 20 minutes of this would be too short. . . just wonderful.

[@MyLifeisaHighway]

Wow! The juxtaposition of being in a race car screaming down a track one week to the beauty of the Colorado River. What a life you lead. I just loved this episode. Inspired music choices too. Great steel guitar in the opening. It helped set the mood right away. I loved the archival photos also, nice add. You had good luck fishing too! The last time I went fishing the only thing I caught was a cold. The multi-takes at the end were perfect! So funny. Cannot WAIT for season 5!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Yes, I can't wait for AK and a peaceful setting. Now it's time for This old RV until we go!

[@rain-wanders]

Such a gorgeous day. I haven't spent much time in the desert, but I would LOVE to! I could never live there because I love trees too much, but that just looks gorgeous! I always love both of your senses of humor!

[@feisty_23r24]

I look forward to a new KYD every Sunday! Happy Mother's Day Trish! Another beautiful video! Our retirement plan is to go full time RVing like my grandparents did for years! So many wonderful memories!

[@tomgillotti]

Always appreciate the work you guys put in, whether it's pictures, certain extra shots or the countless hours of editing you obviously do. Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for what you do!!

[@laurablanton703]

The first minute or so was everything awesome about what you do! The cinematography is just incredible. I look forward to seeing your videos every week and hope one day to be out there too.

[@0HARE]

Wow, that a beautiful trip! The fishing and the petroglyphs were fascinating. The native architecture is fascinating. Very nice campground, but scary issue with the slide. Happy Camping

[@dbrown279]

Our family always enjoy your videos. They keep improving and all of your hard work is noticeable. Thank you for sharing and motivating!

[@gilariverbrewerarizona3288]

Absolutely stunning views! Nice looking fish too!

[@DL-lz6pj]

KYD is #1 ❤️the KYD Happy Mother’s Day Trish 🌼🌸

[@jenniferbuck9676]

My husband bought a hat like that when we lived in Illinois, it has gone through alot!!!

[@herbertwebb7215]

This is one of my favorite places in the southwest. Someday I hope to meet you while on a great adventure. You all look like you are having a great time.

[@stygertravel]

First... Happy mothers day, Tricia! Next, Absolutely beautiful country to be able to view. We love seeing the daily good and bad that happens when full time RV'ing. We've been discussing going full time so it's incredibly helpful to see what can happen. Thanks for the fun video!

[@SunshineBlueSkies]

Love the info about the campgrounds!!! ⛺️ please include more info about that subject in your videos. I learn a lot when you do. Thanks

[@larryputman6660]

Marc and Trish, you’ve built a wonderful channel. I’m looking forward to your adventure in AK.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We are having fun sharing these experiences and pushing ourselves a little bit each time. Thanks.

[@anthonyryan6767]

Marc!! Awesome photography!! Looks beautiful!

[@nancycheeney7435]

Your most outstanding video yet! Stunning videography, beautiful scenery. I smiled through the entire video and will probably smile all night too. THANK YOU!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You're too nice. Thank you.

[@lisamaynard7761]

Not only are your Videos GREAT, you always give us history and educate. Safe Travels.

[@accordingtot1433]

That's hat intro! Hilarious!!!! LMBO! 😁👍

[@kerryloper6142]

What a great video. The shots of under water and well just the whole thing. Get that rig ready for Alaska. Can’t wait for that trip to start. Happy Mother’s Day Trish. I hope you were spoiled a little!!

[@aprildawn8692]

This was absolutely awesome! I know I say that about all of your videos, but they just keep getting better & better! I hope you're able to get all of the bugs out of Ginger before the trip to Alaska. Happy Mother's Day to Trish! I hope she's had a great day ❤

[@lindajc123]

WOW - magnificent colors God -- Thank You for your great imagination that we get to enjoy!! and thanks to KYD for providing the vlog so we could join in on the journey.

[@WildernessExcursions]

If you're still in the area, you should go check out Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch. Or if you're further north in Escalate, you should go to check out the Dry Fork slots of Peek-a-boo Canyon and Spooky Gulch. Plus nearby Coyote Gulch can be done as a day hike as well. These are all non technical canyons that are absolutely stunning.

[@mmtravels7245]

So beautiful! I know you love that hat Marc, it looks good

[@stst9185]

You're really rocking those videos!!!! Man you've gotten good!! Thanks for yet another great video. ESty

[@elbeezmovinonlindabfieth9125]

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing and Happy Mother’s Day!

[@dawnbest7709]

Absolutely beautiful! Great video

[@arturowagner4728]

I went to Lake Powell in 1988 with relatives. Great memories! Thanks for letting me relive them.

[@johnpagoto1054]

Your videos are getting better and better. Outstanding download!

[@marketshare5273]

Been there at least 10 times never have seen it as Beautiful as the way you presented it thanks for sharing and thanks for the history documentary.👍👊😎

[@flippinggeorgia6278]

Exceptional video. Great music. Love watching your adventures.

[@nancylagoyda5337]

Wow! Just added this trip to my bucket list. Your videos really take us with you on the trip. Thanks for the adventure! Loved it!

[@dreamseeker3783]

Been there, seen it, and lived there for 2 years. It is quite spectacular. Spent many days and nights on Lake Powell. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful it is.

[@tomthyme]

absolutely stunning

[@kevinthomas8025]

Can not wait to see what upgrades, additions, and maintenance y'all do. Picture quality is insanely clear on these videos, makes me think I'm there. Happy mothers day Trish, hope it was great.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's the goal. What I find myself looking at, I record to make everyone feel like they're on the boat.

[@kevinthomas8025]

Keep Your Daydream seems like that's how y'all are in real life as well. When we met in the Austin meet up we were made to feel like we've known each other for years. Y'all are an awesome family and inspirational to watch. Can't wait to meet up again down the road.

[@kitcarlson3299]

Great video, beautiful area. We were there at the end of last year on BLM land. Fallen petrified trees all over the area. Amazing to see, especially with the backdrop of those amazing cliffs. Love that area.

[@terrikane]

Awesome video. You just keep getting better. Keep it up! Very enjoyable.

[@texassky9706]

yall are 2 cute :) That guide though. Talk about living the dream. WOW! He seemed perfect!! Very polite and full of knowledge. What a great ecological lesson for the kids. Thanks for sharing this adventure. I think this was my favorite episode so far!!

[@KT-rk6fn]

The Rock part about the Native Americans was so cool!!!!

[@NickMango]

So the reason the river is 45ish all year round even though it’s 100+ or 0 degrees out: The Dam releases water from the bottom of the reservoir and that water is so deep, the temp is constant. It makes a great fishery because bugs are always present, and fish can eat 12 months of the year. Love that you went out and fly fished. I moved to the Catskills and gave up Manhattan for fly fishing. It’s an awesome and rewarding hobby. Thanks for promoting it 👍

[@edbenson98]

I loved that fishing trip and can't wait for Season Five to begin! #KYD

[@jassox4]

Another awesome video! Watching all your travels has definitely kept our eyes on our goals. We’ve just recently purchased our first truck!! Goal #1 accomplished! Now for goal #2 a rig of our very own. We are so excited. Happy Mother’s Day Trish!! We’re excited for season 5!

[@ednobre]

Absolutely breathtaking!!! I love it how history is implemented into the video. Thanks for sharing it with us. God Bless!!!!

[@1bike10]

One really interesting thing we discovered is the time zone problem. In that area if you are in UT, they recognize daylight savings, but AZ does not, but Navajo Nation (inside AZ) does (the other side of the bridge you were on). If you are paying attention to your phone, it's crazy. We noticed because we got there at noon. It was odd to be able to walk to another time zone. We had one day in that area where the time changed 4 times in a single day.

[@danterry6328]

Fantastic! This was the best. Being a outdoorsman any thing to do with fishing peeks my interest. Would love to see more video like this. I visit your home state on a regular basis and there’s plenty of good fishing in AZ. Take care safe travel.

[@KJRitch]

We were at Lee's Ferry Campground a couple of weeks ago. No hookups and it got to 92F. Luckily it was windy to keep our trailer cool with open windows. Solar kept batteries charged. Took a half day float trip down from the dam to Lee's Ferry. Saw lots of fish in the clear water but didn't see anyone catching trout. Horse Bend is more impressive from the overlook then on the river since downstream from the dam the river has so many bends you're don't realize you are going through Horseshoe Bend unless the guide points it out. We were lucky to get a spot that overlooks the river. Most days the campground filled up. First come first severed. Dump station is located a quarter mile down the road. Water is available at the dump or the flush toilets in the campground. Verizon LTE available at the campground. Our Weboost made it better.

[@mgb3205]

KJRitch I have a question about your solar. How many watts of PV panels do you have? Mounted on roof or position on ground? Describe your battery array, like 4x6V deep cycle flooded acid. I have installed my 4x6V Bats and plan a shake down 6 day trip in June.

[@KJRitch]

Mike I have 400w on the roof plus a 200w Zamp portable that can plug into the trailer’s solar. I removed the Zamp controller on the portable so the Bluesky controller controls all the panels. We have two Lifeline 6v 220ah batteries.

[@BettyA]

Wow, what an awesome backdrop of scenery. I've never seen the dam from that side, down on the river. As you said, STUNNING scenery. Was the water camera from the boat yours, putting your camera in a waterproof housing? Amazing season, and looking forward to more. Belated Happy Mother's Day!

[@moondancer5115]

Fly fishing reminds me of A River Runs Through It 😊 and Marc, your hat reminds me of Brad Pitt 😊 win/win! Great video, thanks guys!

[@Rochesterhome]

What an awesome video. So well done. I'm going to pick my son up in Colorado and take him there.

[@vicki2153]

This was fun! The video quality is amazing and I loved the banter between you two. Happy Mother's Day Trish!

[@kimjohnson4858]

Excellent photography!! Love watching your Chanel ! So glad I found you guys🤗

[@FISHINandJUNK]

What an amazing trip. Fly Fishing for Trout like that is a bucket list item for me. You guys always do an incredible job with your editing and story telling.

[@gilariverbrewerarizona3288]

It was really cool to bump into you guys while leaving POR RV Park. I wish I could have chat a little longer. Thanks for the KYD stickers. I already put one on our little rig Paddy. The gold panning sure didn't pay for the trip but as you all have said, it's about creating memories. Keep up the great content and cinematography. Cheers!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Good to meet you too Andy. Good stuff. See you at the next park :)

[@MrKThomas1976]

We plan on going to Colorado next year for a month,just beautiful. Happy Mother’s Day Trish.

[@organizingwithmelissa810]

Amazing! I waited till after work on what was my Friday on Thursday to watch more amazing video from my favorite family ever. You guys are truly my favorite youtube family. It's nice to sit back and chill and laugh along with you. Your content is better then most reality TV shows. In other words I loved it, and happy Belated Mother's day to Trish.

[@richardpercell1997]

Great episode. Good story and video work with nice music. What quality time for the family! Your happy outlook is infectious. Suggestion....can you maybe insert a high level map overview shot showing where you are? Yes, I got all the references and landmarks...but a visual is a “nice to have” to understand the proximity to things and the highways, etc. Please more soon!

[@davidmcconnell8690]

Excellent. you have reached a new pinnacle. Great Job.

[@kaivonmortazavi8656]

Great episode. The fishing looked like a blast and you are right, go with a guide to maximize your fishing experience. If you look at the file footage you used (at 6:51) you will notice that the engineers at the Glen Canyon Damn had to use plywood purchased from local hardware stores to prevent the water from going over the top in large quantities. There is a great book called The Emerald Mile that is about that world breaking , crazy, illegal wooden Dory ride down the Colorado during the epic flood of 1983. In addition, it also details the little known facts about engineering and design shortcomings at the dam and how unbelievably close we came to a catastrophic failure and potential loss of thousands of lives and millions upon millions in property and agricultural losses down river - A very interesting read.

[@Bigtwin88]

You guys have the best videos....Thank you....

[@WenzelsWayside]

Great Video! Loved the bloopers in the end, I was laughing out loud in my office at work! Thanks for making a happy moment in my Monday! You guys are so cute!!

[@julieherrill5038]

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Happy Mother's Day Trish.

[@brendaschroeder2166]

Absolutely amazing. The views are breathtaking.

[@rvingacrossamerica3319]

Absolutely incredible scenery, can't wait to try fly-fishing Horseshoe Bend now myself!

[@waynehurlbut5388]

Wow that was very informational. That guide knew his stuff. Great trip I can't wait for Alaska.

[@pamellis3725]

As horrible as this is to say to see you having issues with your new trailer made me feel better. Tomorrow we are taking our "new" used trailer back to the dealership. We just got it in March but couldn't do anything on it until the snow melted. After the snow finally melted last week we went up to the roof of our rig and saw that it was destroyed! Obviously hit by a tree and they sold it to us like this! Ugh so much money and now comes the fight to either take it back or redo the roof! It was great to see you back to nature I love the show best like this! Colorado check on the list! Happy Mother's Day Trish!

[@daveswaisgood7995]

Great photography! Your videos are getting better and better!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@fberger54]

Another great adventure, thanks guys. I look forward each week for the next video, it's like we're family. Thanks again.

[@robgraff764]

Awesome video, the outtakes at the end cracked my wife and I up! You are hilarious, looking forward to your new season.
