I CLIMBED DOWN INTO A HIDDEN CANYON! Idaho Trout Fishing

[@prinpak6]

Love Box Canyon, so many amazing places around that area

[@willritter]

It really is!

[@fishingtrippy]

"I got a little fish on! Haha" your laugh made me happy ☺️ looks like fun

[@willritter]

It was!

[@bushbladesnbows.2378]

Man the drone shots make the video so much better!

[@willritter]

Right?!

[@annaswanson9585]

Gorgeous canyon! And I love your music choices!

[@willritter]

Thanks so much!

[@Downtoadventure25]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing man!

[@willritter]

You bet!

[@kariritter151]

AMAZING!

[@WyomingOutofDoors]

Good video friend , was just checking out your channel and i joined up

[@thefirststrike]

The moment I saw in your response below that you had identified the location when asked, instead of playing the "I don't want to give it away because it will get ruined" routine (which we all know is bullsh*t), I subbed. Thanks for being honest and not "hogging" the location for yourself.

[@humbugvideos]

When you have a spot you really enjoy going too, then you see someone post it on social media and next week there’s 4 families poaching all the fish you may think differently about it. The most experienced fishermen don’t give out their secret spots because they worked hard to get them.

[@kariritter151]

I love your vids

[@NKRWrestlingVlogs]

Cool vid I love ur vids u just got a new sub and that’s me!

[@willritter]

Thanks for subbing! Love your channel :)

[@rlwhite7091]

Doooood soooo 🔵💙🔵💙💙🔵💙🔵. No way the water is that Blue you had to be using Filters

[@willritter]

It is totally that blue. Go check it out

[@justanotherchad9554]

I can vouch for this. It was a filtered video, but the water is absolutely that blue. Welcome to Idaho ground water. Look up Blue Heart Springs. It's not far from this location, and is fed by the same ground water.

Box canyon from the looks of it

[@idahoflyfisher9051]

I appreciate you telling where this spot is, but please be more careful handling your trout. If you are releasing, wet your hands first, never touch gills and hold in a way that supports the stomach. Fewer mortalities that way

[@Ccritter4250]

Such a beautiful place!!

[@willritter]

It really is! Much better in the summer for sure!

[@anavoll]

That place is epic would love to come and take some photos of the falls. Could you give the name of the place?

[@willritter]

Sure thing, Box Canyon. waaaaaay better in the summer. The water pops but I really had to do lots of color correcting to get the landscape to look nicer. Go before the poison ivy gets too big (June or before)

With your barbed treble hooks and poor fish handling skills, you probably killed every fish you hooked.

another snowflake fisherman making absurd comments

[@briankelly6113]

@@tbone6924 And yet, you dispute nothing that I said with any facts. Proper fish handling skills helps the fish survive another day for another angler. Improper handling can decimate the fish population hence fish opportunities are lost. www.nps.gov/subjects/fishing/how-to-safely-catch-and-release.htm#:~:text=%20Letting%20Go%20%201%20Water%20Conditions.%20Instead%2C,catching%20and%20landing%20the%20fish.%20Follow...%20More%20

[@tbone6924]

@@briankelly6113 I have been fishing for longer than you have probably been alive, plus I have a Biology background and have worked many times with fish and game on various studies, for example studying greenback cutthroat trout populations in Colorado....in other words, I have forgotten more about fish biology than you will ever know. Bottom line: Of course there are best practices for catch and release, and in this video it was certainly not ideal. BUT, this has been studied EXTENSIVLY, and survival rates, even amongst fish roughly handled and with barbed hooks (even with the hook still in the fish) are very high. Yes, I am oversimplifying and the survival rates for released fish vary hugely based on all sorts of factors - many of them out of control of the fisherman. There is absolutely ZERO impact in overall fish populations from how they are handled by anglers, so your assertions that "Improper handling can decimate the fish population" is completely absurd. Not once in the history of fish management has a population decline been attributed to poor fish handling. Disease, yes. Water quality, yes. Introduced species - yes. Oxygen levels - yes. Fish handling - NOPE. This was just a nice little video of someone enjoying some fishing and the beauty of the landscape and it seems like there is always some moron like you who has to snowflake out and play catch and release police.

[@briankelly6113]

@@tbone6924 "I have been fishing for longer than you have probably been alive". Yeah, I doubt that. How long have you been fishing? It's clear that you'll say anything to rationalize your position. Poor fish handling can have a detrimental effect on fish populations depending on some easy variables such as overall fish population and the pressure of hordes of knuckleheaded fish killers with no interest in preserving fisheries for future generations. Given your vast wealth of knowledge, why would you say that Fish and Game departments have to impose special regulations, like single barbless hooks, no bait, slot limits and shortened seasons on certain waters? Too few fish, too many so called fishermen and poor practices. How convenient that you neglected to mention any of this.
