Most Difficult Brown Trout Fishing Spot Off Grid (Part 1)

[@jarrettlandreth285]

16ft leaders?? That’s straight up stealth mode fishing, must be so rewarding landing fish that spooky! Gorgeous river and browns, loved every second!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Yeah bro, any fish landed in that place is a big win!🤙

[@stewartsimpson2236]

Unreal footage again - loved the captures of the first fish jumping out of water multiple times :-)

[@leslieaustin151]

Stunning video skills, stunning fishing skills, stunning river, fish and scenery. WOW! Les in UK

[@susandawn90]

I am a new subscriber to your channel. Living in Montana, USA, I get to fish some pretty amazing water, but wow that water is incredible. I really appreciate your approach to fly fishing, how you embrace the process, not just worried about how many fish you catch. Even if I don't catch a fish, just being on the river with a fly rod in hand is enough to be incredibly blessed. Tight lines brother.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Hey Montana!!! Thanks heaps for the sub and welcome to the team brutha👊 Super stoked that you enjoy the vibe and can relate 💥

[@paulhoughland8505]

Well deserved fish, masterclass in fishing, thanks for sharing

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it🤙

[@DrFish71]

Flipping FANTASTIC! Loved this video. What a spectacular spot and that water is amazing. Was cool being able to see the fish you were targeting. You live in such an incredibly special place Alex and you do such an awesome job showcasing it.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Dude, such a spectacular place to be!! I felt like I was on another planet! Stoked you enjoyed it buddy👊

[@azhuntssss7628]

Unreal!!! Loved this video man! I really enjoyed the problem solving to catch that first SLAB! Cheers Mate 🤙🏼

[@stevewarhaft6841]

Enjoy watching these clips and the amazing rivers you access, pristine water in awesome, remote back country locations. There was a comment made by yourself in one I watched recently where you indicated that the dropping of nylon ends when changing flies was something you intended to reduce as time goes on. Not a easy task! How is that going as some rivers I fish, where ever I park, there is nylon everywhere. Something many of us could work a little harder at reducing the impact we have on our environment. Tight Lines. Steve

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks for watching man, appreciate it. Yeah I’ve been much better at being more mindful with those little tag ends. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t seem to care about trying to make an effort 🤷‍♂️

[@prestongizzi2210]

Best video yet. I can’t imagine the difficult fishing. And on top of that you can put a video like that all together. Super impressive!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

[@chrisperia3920]

Absolutely stunning video. The underwater shots are incredible.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man. Special place aye

[@billedwards2657]

Love that you talk through the process on targeting the fish. So many anglers don’t work through the progression.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Awesome bro, glad you like that. I feel it’s important to keep it real. It’s very rarely just rock up, cast and catch a fish and editing can make it look like that’s the case too easily!

[@austintrenkamp8205]

Soooooooooo sick, also looks super tricky hahaha, you killed it man!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Was a super cool trip 👍💪

[@davidream5175]

Good work mate! That was some fine stalking and fishing.......

[@TrippinOnTrout]

[@Avicados]

At 5:45 I had a heart attack for the tip of your rod 😁 The underwater releases are incredible in that emerald water. As a steelhead fisherman here in the states that’s the perfect color 👌

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Amazing looking water isn’t it!! Stoked you enjoyed it man🤙

[@bmares41]

Amazing fish! The second one you caught was a stud and a half. Man you are a beast hiking through that jungle you had to trek through. Great video, bro.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Well worth the effort and blisters!!

[@adamcorey5783]

It doesn’t get any better than that. Made me reminisce of my last trip down there. If it wasn’t for the sand flies you’d think it was a dream.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Yeah they grind you down don’t they but it wouldn’t be the same without them!

[@garyhughes6456]

Alex ....what a fantastic video ...cant wait for 2022 mate ! I remember one of my days with spooky fish with long leaders ....you have one chance of getting it right !!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Good time aye Gary!!! High stakes fun and games!!🤙

Wow man great vid a bit risky going on your own but wonderful I am looking forward to seeing the 2 part

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man, I hope you like part 2 as well!

[@joshmickelson83]

I feel like this video didn’t have the crazy amount of fish some of your other videos have, but it was insanely gratifying to see you being so tactical and patient to hunt these incredible fish. Wonderful video, thanks man!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

One of the reasons I wanted to go here was because of the fact that you could very likely not catch anything and have to work hard for a fish. The whole experience in there was incredible. Loved it.

[@chadmackley]

Man! Listening to your thought process and watching you adjust technique and flies to catch that beautiful trout at 11mins was so much more helpful to me as a new fly rodder than any other videos I've watched. And these videos are beautiful. Keep up the good work! Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce these!

That first fish you held up was a typical magazine cover fish for me when I was growing up. Those images kept me going and dreaming of nz. Dreams came true. This video brought back being memories of being eaten alive on the caples. Just a great video. Everything you talk about on river approach is so true. The zero factor is very real lol
