Fly Fishing the most INCREDIBLE Stream in Wyoming - Fly Fishing Wyoming (part 3)

[@scottwood1143]

Solitary, remote, and full of fish + gorgeous scenery - heaven!

[@LooknFishy]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@Chrisgalin]

Exactly!

[@Chrisgalin]

I could live eat and breathe flyfishing!

[@briankelly6113]

Exactly the kind of water I look for. The harder the access, the less pressure & the better the fishing. Kudos for sharing!

[@LooknFishy]

Same here!

[@michaelgarcia5937]

Damn it Drew, I'm sick to my stomach from watching you have all this fun while I'm stuck behind this pile of paperwork on my desk. "Hey guys! I just caught like 600 fish in Wyoming, and now i'm gonna enjoy an ice cold beer and smell this fresh pine air around a peaceful campfire!" Actually, i'm happy for you brother and extremely jealous. Have a safe rest of the trip and catch one for me!

[@LooknFishy]

Haha...sorry about that! It's been a good year!

[@davestrom3598]

Sounds like a personal problem to me micheal garcia

[@hardmanfishing]

Awesome video man!! That looks like an amazing little stream. Wyoming is definitely on the short list of places to visit and fish.

[@LooknFishy]

Right on dude, yeah it's a super cool place. Definitely recommend spending some time exploring it!

[@ronlawrence342]

May sound corny as heck but that crystal water , flowing over stone, the mountains just seems enchanting. Beautiful fish too, pretty sure I’ll never get to experience the west and it’s streams. I used to wade fish a lot in the Ozarks ,, N.C. and even a lot in Ms. ( which doesn’t have boulders just gravel , sand and a lot of Bush and bramble) where I’ve spent most my life. But I’ve never seen anything quite like Wyoming . Thanks for sharing the great view and fishing. I know after a long day of rock hopping even Parina dog chow would taste great. Ha ha!

[@LooknFishy]

Haha, it does indeed. Well I hope you get the chance one day certainly worth it!

[@LooknFishy]

You'd definitely have a killer time in Wyoming for sure!

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

So when you catch an 8 inch fish, it's like him landing a 15 inch fish. It's all relative, and the little guys are no less trophies. Brookies, especially in the fall, are living jewels.

[@LooknFishy]

@@georgesakellaropoulos8162 you are dead on...every catch is a treasure and we should all be thankful for the opportunity to explore these awesome places.

[@aaronmiller6118]

Me too. I fished a stream and I was climbing around Boulders for brook trout that were not even 3 inches long. The biggest one I caught that day was like 8 inches. It's the only small stream that I know of in the area but I live 100+ miles away and I only go fishing every couple of months so I don't have much time to explore.

[@dragonbob2924]

@@aaronmiller6118 I did some research and found some gov stream surveys that showed brook trout populations in a bunch of nearby streams.

[@tightliningmd]

Another great video/experience. The creek was gorgoues, albeit a lot of work to fish, and I can only imagine to film and set things up. Some really nice wild fish for sure. Can't beat the solitude, minus the bear, and being able to fish, hike, eat "dog food" and drink some beer in your happy place. That is what dreams are made of!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I just recently moved to northwestern Wyoming and hoping to explore the river systems in my area.

Looked like a few places you had split shot on or weight. Is that to get fly real deep? Didn't look like the hopper was getting top hits, so were you fishing it wet? Great looking river and been trying to find remote water with my son, but need to get in better shape for next year. Thanks for the excellent videos.

[@LooknFishy]

Thx Jon, staying in shape is super important to me, not a joke! No, just dry or dry-dropper. About 90% took the stonefly dry, the first bow and 2 or 3 others took the dropper. Eventually, I cut it off as fish were more willing to come to the surface. The takes were very subtle and not splashy...plus the gopro doesn't provide a ton of detail at distance. I do a lot more nymphing in the next 2 parts.

[@kevinboyer6249]

Great 3 part series Drew. I do a lot of the same kind of fishing. Love hiking to waters that are out of the way. You called the dry fly you were using a "top shelf" stonefly. Is that the name of the fly? Would love to pick a few of those up. Subscribed!!!

[@LooknFishy]

Yea, all about the experience and noting beats getting off the grid to fish. It's one of my patterns. The hopper version is in my tying videos. The stone version is essentially the same but instead of reverse tying in the foam, just tie it on and leave some hanging off the hook. I add 2 sets of legs but that's it. Sorry, I don't sell flies. Just share what I use. Stay busy trying to keep my boxes filled.

What is the "Bear Revolver" you have there, Drew ?

[@WOScholar]

I really need a trip like that soon. Thanks for sharing. Looked awesome. Have you thought about a Simms type collapsible walking stick to hit the ground in front of you where the snake concern might be? Or is that just too much more to keep up with?

[@LooknFishy]

You are on point with the collapsible walking stick. Never considered one until I was using my net to hit the ground in front of me. Definitely something I'm going to look into for these kind of trips. The stick worked but I'd have to go back to where ever I walked into the stream to get it.

[@WOScholar]

Drew LooknFishy I saw TFO is now selling one that collapses into a holster like the Simms wading staff for about half the cost. I almost bought a Simms in March. Talked myself out of it, but doing backwoods trips like you’re sharing encourages me to get one for those trips. Hadn’t thought much about the snake side of it until you talked through your journey. It’s a long way to medical help if I get tagged. At the Lower Mountain Fork, I’ve seen mostly small copper heads. I did get ran out of Evening Hole one night when a giant water moccasin decided to surface at the top of the water right at the top of the hole I was casting to. I figured he was giving me fair warning. He won that round.

[@LooknFishy]

@@WOScholar great info, will check it out! You're absolutley correct getting tagged that far away from help could easily turn a serious situation in to an emergency! Had my share of run ins with territorial cottonmouths, I let them have their space for sure!
