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

[@richardroe7102]

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

[@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.

[@crv20051]

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

[@WillEdmond]

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

[@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..

[@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!!!

[@rd-yp8zf]

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

[@markroberts6163]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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 👍👍👍.

[@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!

[@lisamaynard7761]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@ednobre]

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

[@raymondschneider5217]

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

[@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.

[@dianevanhorn1822]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for a gorgeous video. I felt like I was right there with you. You guys are so cute. I really enjoy keeping up with your family adventures!!

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@gilariverbrewerarizona3288]

Absolutely stunning views! Nice looking fish too!

[@tomthyme]

absolutely stunning

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@montydanable]

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

[@arturowagner4728]

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

[@dbrown279]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@johnpagoto1054]

Your videos are getting better and better. Outstanding download!

[@mmtravels7245]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@LayloNewt]

I so enjoy your videos. You are truly blessed. Enjoy every minute and keep the videos coming. You are such a great couple and family

[@vicki2153]

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

[@SARGENTO007A]

“Well I got my Alaska hat on...you know what that means” I love your banter! :) Great place! Great video!

[@stst9185]

[@julieherrill5038]

[@KT-rk6fn]

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

[@brendaschroeder2166]

Wow absolutely beautiful footage. So enjoyed. Happy Mother's Day Trish.

[@toh2002]

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

[@dawnbest7709]

Absolutely beautiful! Great video

[@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 !

[@rvingacrossamerica3319]

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

[@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 👍

[@MrKThomas1976]

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

[@DL-lz6pj]

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

[@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.

[@terrikane]

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

[@tannerjim]

At 16:20, you said it was dry camping only, yet at 16:24, we see a Power Junction box and Water just over your shoulder. BTW...your water heater will not work if battery is low...that is for safety reasons. I'm sure it fired back up, once you charged battery(s) from Zamp solar. OH...and the video is BEAUTIFUL....your b role shots and skills to cut all that together is amazing.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

There was one site with hooks-up. It was next door to do us, but all locked up. Maybe a camp hose site? I'll see if the gas water heater will kick on now.... in that we're hooked-up. I haven't had a spare min to even look at it.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@suzang6053]

Really enjoyed this one. Glad you added some about the campground and RV mishaps. 😊

[@treysuniverserv1576]

We were there fishing in March. We had a great time.

[@waltfore280]

Thanks for sharing . Happy Mothers Day Trish. Hope the hat brought you good luck Mark, fishing? Water looked a little "chilly". Absolutely beautiful scenery. Thanks for the history, always interesting. Safe travels. Later.

[@Bigtwin88]

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

[@joeofallthings7403]

Fantastic video. The underwater shots were so cool! I am so looking forward to beginning our Rv adventure in the next several months. You guys have been so inspiring.

[@fordfan3179]

Looks like an awesome time.

[@Jim.Hummel]

The locations blew my mind away!!!!!!! you captured it perfectly!

[@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.

[@waynehurlbut5388]

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

[@accordingtot1433]

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

[@flippinggeorgia6278]

Exceptional video. Great music. Love watching your adventures.

[@chevygirl203]

Absolutely amazing. The views are breathtaking.

[@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.👍👊😎

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@TravelswithYoly]

Did you try the little reset button behind the little black grommet on the water heater ? It was so awesome that you got to experience Horseshoe Bend from both vantage points... that's special. I've spent literally hundreds of hours on the Colorado and know it like the back of my hand. From Glen Canyon Dam to Parker Dam. I used to boat upriver from Temple Bar for about 50 miles in an 18 foot aluminum boat powered by two 8HP Honda outboards and then camp at various places along the shore .... maximum boondocking :-) You could be assured that I was the only boat on the water because at the time, the 2-stroke engines didn't have enough range to travel that distance and there were no gas docks anywhere along the way. It was so serene having those canyons all to myself. I've also towed a boat to Lake Powell 3 times (from Georgia) and covered almost every mile of the entire shoreline. I have a Playlist on our channel from one of the trips and we covered more than 200 miles a day, for 5 days in a 15'-9" RIB. I couldn't agree more about the landscape and scenery in the area :-) John Wesley Harding was quite a special individual. Not only was he an expedition leader, he was a cartographer and naturalist. It was common for him to climb to the highest point along the river and scout the severity of the rapids before making passage. I once climbed a trail that led to one of his documented lookouts at the top of a ridgeline. It was an extremely difficult climb, and I was in my early 30s. Imagine my surprise when I later learned that in addition to being an expedition leader, he was also a decorated war veteran who lost his right arm in battle ..... now picture him climbing all those mountains !!!!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's great. I'll look for the button. Good to hear you've spent so much time there. Yes, these guys were true explorers. They had zero fear and a single purpose.

[@bekahhooper9852]

I just love you guys! Every where you guys go i want to go! My husband says the list is very long! Lol

[@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

[@kevincarlin604]

You guys edit BEATIFULLY!

[@robgraff764]
