Honestly that opening was 10/10 haha

[@austintrenkamp8205]

Wow, that is embarrassingly not the first time I have darn near shed a tear from just how beautiful and inspiring the new fly fisher is, but this one, wow, it made me excited for the future and grateful for the similar experiences I have been blessed enough to enjoy, all that emotion from a video. Love everyone that helps produce these videos, thank you.

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Awesome trip! Thanks so much for letting us tag along!

[@dallinskousen822]

Man I love that creek, you guys did an awesome job showcasing its beauty and a few of those fish you caught are the biggest I’ve ever seen out of there, awesome stuff!

[@mariacote9976]

One of my new favorites!! Such BEAUTIFUL country and love that you are out there on your own, exploring, and catching some sweet fish!!

[@petermjonas]

What a great episode! I especially appreciated Mark taking the time after he caught fish to break down where they were feeding and how he approached the drift. The little spotlight really helped focus what you were trying to communicate. And the camera work gets better and more sophisticated every year.

[@JP-dz7zu]

Which creek is this.?

[@landon_shonuff1181]

We are getting ready to go to Idaho and this gets me so excited

[@ernsthorn2788]

Mark, you have the best job in the world!

[@kylehouts6057]

Watched at 11pm looking to unwind and ended up busting gut at your opening. Ya’lls editors make anything look good. Never been more relaxed watching someone pick up their luggage at the airport in slow mo.

[@dudesabeast]

Invaluable lessons watched it twice

[@bigron8346]

This was one of my favorite videos. Thanks Mark.

[@heppisaxm8316]

Spektakulär! Großartig!😊

[@bauhausoffice]

Informative. Great episode.

[@johntucker9782]

Man, what beautiful terrain. Another great video Mark.

[@yeetusthefetus5759]

Can’t even lie best intro ever

[@BrentFlix]

Great video Mark and crew! Hope to see you back in Idaho this season.

[@bigbadfella]

Great vid, Mark and the boys.

[@mdaley3102]

All great fish Mark. I can’t believe there weren’t other people in the videos, very peaceful. You have the best job.

[@dudesabeast]

this video is unreal the info in next level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hubsurf1]

Thanks for not saying where that is. It’s nice to see some respect on here. Very much appreciated. Great vid

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks Justin. We make special efforts to protect sensitive fisheries with public access

[@hubsurf1]

So much respect. Love the vids you put out! Hope to see you on the water sometime. Cheers

[@davidresch7830]

Best photographyI have seen Very well done with lots of info

[@bradfuller5639]

Great work as always! Video production is top notch. Catching solid cutthroat in a smaller stream with the possibility of some grouse hunting mixed in. That’s heaven right there!

[@tycotoys]

I hit those streams with a Rooster Tail on my spinning rod with 4lb fluorocarbon line. Catch one Cutthroat after another, huge ones too. Family grew up there, camped and hiked Jenny Lake area several times.

[@j.ericswede7084]

I agree with you continuing to fish in the rain. One of my fondest memories was fishing on Teepee Creek in North Idaho with my Dad. The fish were hitting Royal Coachman Flies and I didn't even mind getting soaked.

[@jackimhof2431]

Great show Mark!

[@CA2CAoutdoors]

It’s crazy how much weather can affect fishing! I just got into some great fish before a storm and it was the first time I checked the barometric pressure before going out! Great video! Keep ‘em coming!

[@augustonthefly]

"This is a little ant foam type beetle hopper thing" Mark, eloquent and informative as always.

[@newflyfisher]

Haha... August, one thing I've learned from fishing with some fine anglers over the years is fly names don't matter... the same fly could be called 10 different things based on geography. Made me laugh.. thanks for the smile M

[@michaelkissane6138]

Once fished this area in late July/early August about 50 yrs ago and we got a brief, freaky snowfall of big, feathery flakes and it honestly seemed like the fish thought they were insects because the water just went crazy. We put on white millers and had a blast!

[@chesterpielock8824]

What a life!

[@NewTasty]

Awesome fishing Vlog

[@DanVanLife]

amazing video

[@tristendunn1808]

So cool to see you fishing here, I've been to this spot a few times

[@Eric-wb4li]

Wouldn't ask for the specific spot obviously but what highway is he off of?

[@boogerwood]

Regarding pressure, I doubt the fish are that sensitive given the hydrodynamics in play as well. That said, my experience has been what YOU demonstrated. During storms and rain I catch so much more. I always assumed it was a visibility thing. They can still see the surface, just not as well PAST the surface. Great video and content! I just recently found this page and I'm "hooked".

[@reneguay1347]

I live in alberta want i fish for cutties as well love your video and unlike a lot of fishermen you actually show what you are using keep it up you also love your cutties as much as i do hope i can make it to stream one day.

[@keng9064]

Another amazing video Mark. You stuff is so good. Thank you

[@TheTwispAngler]

Your using flies I've never seen before - you are The New Fly Fisher. Love this episode. Pretty interested in seeing where this is going. I want my Mom to go out and catch fish and bring back the fly she's used to catch a fish. Then I could reproduce it. Until then there's too many flies to tie and too little time to do so. But I like the video. : )

[@JP-dz7zu]

Any advice on finding these small streams in Eastern Idaho? I’m spending a week fishing in Yellowstone next summer and plan to spend a couple days in Idaho.

[@adamchristo3082]

Have long wanted to do a trip to Idaho. A trip there hunting and fishing would be awesome.

[@michaelmarks9002]

The barometric pressure info was unknown to me! Thank you.

[@Zombietoonz408]

I’ve fished this creek. And there are gooood fish in there. Although I havnt fished it in the fall, I may try it sometime. Thanks for the Very cool video.

[@victorbradley5956]

This is a dream stream for me. I’ve got a couple days to wet wade next mo. After fishing some bigger water. Just me and a friend want to hike into an area like this to fish . If you could entrust the name of this water I promise to treat the intel with respect and won’t share further . I’m coming in from out of state so it’s not a situation where I can make a lot of repeat visits even if I wanted to. Thanks Vic Bradley

[@scottbalsai]

Kudos, glad to see you had your bear spray. I have always thought that mature cuts had a little pink on their gill plates. Did you catch or see any rainbows ?

[@marclawson7552]

Crazy to see how low that water is in the reservoir

[@ryanmcgregor6035]

The upside-down sling is rough. Orvis definitely needs to make a lefty version.

[@michaelb1982]

Guessing the foul weather triggered a BWO hatch - typical in the fall out west - which is why they were feeding so aggressively. The sun coming out shut down the hatch.

[@latedinn]

lmaooo that intro! yes

[@dsernick]

Might of missed it. But what were the dates exactly? The colors are amazing.

[@dudesabeast]

i wish this was my job

[@andrejgeibel5824]

Great Video ! Thank you for that! Wich line do u Fish on the helios 3D? Greets From germany !

[@newflyfisher]

We find the Scientific Anglers Mastery MPX lines load the Helios 3D rods well

[@jmyd83]

😍

[@clivemassey3600]

Buddy!! FYI: you always fish a dry upsteram, you always strat at the bottom of the pool.

[@thomastero4662]

Great-looking water, nice job. Curious, is it you and two cameramen?

[@newflyfisher]

Just one camera operator but lots of work getting those shots! Cheers

[@aleksandrsavchenko5852]

Mark its ansester from Ukreine

[@michellekochanek3588]

I have that same Orvis sling pak but my Orvis logo is not upside down. ??????

[@benjaminneumann3687]

I think he’s left handed, so he wears it on his right shoulder

[@kristaylor9041]

Question - are you tying the dropper to the bend of the dry fly hook? Or onto the eye of the hook?

[@newflyfisher]

Hi Kris. I was tying the fly to the bend of the hook if there was a barb. If there wasn’t one I tie it to the eye.

[@kristaylor9041]

@@newflyfisher got it! So if I crimp all my barbs, it would be better to tie light weight droppers to the eye, in your opinion? Thanks!

[@use1kcf]

great videography. dialogue iffy

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks for your feedback Ken. Have a great day. Mark

[@reneguay1347]

What is a water walker

[@greghoffman3146]

Those fish are more fun in the bigger water below the dam

[@Toddcm]

Great fall fishing for cutthroats Mark. Why do you prefer to net head first?

[@newflyfisher]

Good question: rule of them when netting, especially bigger fish, is to try and net head first as fish cannot go backwards. If they shoot forward, they have to go into the net bag if you net them this way. Sometime that does not work given the circumstances, so you have to go from behind or below. But when possible, we have found head first is best idea. Others may another opinion.

[@Toddcm]

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

[@ericlarsen5152]

Netting big fish(large trout>25", Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout, Bull Trout, etc.) headfirst is essential if you want them to end up in the net! As the reply states, big fish will often dash away as the net gets close to them, so netting them headfirst and at the right moment when the fishes head is in top of the water is vital. Experience has taught me and anyone who has caught and netted lots of large salmonids, that trying to net a big fish from behind or even the side, will often result in heartbreak. Even though I release 99% of the fish I catch, netting headfirst results in less harm to the fish, because you net them in one quick effort compared to possibly missing on multiple attempts and stressing the fish more than necessary if you try from behind. I agree with the original reply that on rare occasion, you may have to try from below or the side, but it's almost always better to net headfirst.

[@garyrohrberg8821]

Great Video what were the streams called or hwy they were off of? I would like to visit in the fall great fall colors and trout.

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks for kind words. Recommend you contact one of the fly shops in the region, they can help direct you to the many public small streams and rivers in the area. Good resource is here: yellowstoneteton.org/ Have fun exploring this fall!

[@nickwestin8444]

What was mark wearing for shoes?

[@newflyfisher]

in street clothes, just a pair of keen hiking boots.. waders were the Orvis Pro wading boots boa style with studs. M

[@bssaassin1900]

So jealous! Here in dfw between cold fronts our warm water species have been very tough. And of course dfw doesn't have any kind of amazing scenery. I miss the mountains this flat boring land is not for me. These videos get me through

[@newflyfisher]

Hope you get back there soon!

[@henryavila7336]

Love the content! Can anyone say something different other than the color?! Texture, how it fought, the length of time it really took to hit? Anything to make it more human, and not so perfect! Otherwise I really suck at fishing! Thank you!

[@henryavila7336]

I Even want to know why you prefer collard shirts, in stead of a GNR t-shirt! Just asking.... thx

[@newflyfisher]

My Gunners shirt disintegrated a little while ago - alas, it was a good show! Faith no More opened, followed by Metallica then GNR. It was fun. I didn't have a replacement. Mark.

Is it really the new era to show the world spots now?

[@use1kcf]

pressure changes are uncomfortable for the fish? Really?

[@newflyfisher]

Ken, recommend you check this out. Pressure changes have less impact on fish in rivers/streams but it does effect them: www.in-fisherman.com/editorial/understanding-barometric-pressure/154358

Would love to know what little creek that is.

So which is best, Idaho or Wyoming?

[@newflyfisher]

They're both great in different ways,

38:10 38:12 heading to this territory next month. This steam is a 10…..any hints on its identity ?

[@tidelybumsquish]

Big creek. Small fish lol

[@jmbeckii]

Which streams where you at? I right here in Eastern Idaho and would love to fish those streams. Please let me know. Thanks.

[@TheKwinter70]

I have to tell you that there was a little canal between Idaho falls and Rigby Idaho it was just a canal feeding the farms And a man from California told me I'll show you where to catch some killer trout it's called cutthroat alley I am not a fly fisherman I have flygear that I've inherited but I am not. I could tell you that all I did all I had was 6 lb monofilament with a number six hook and no wait and a nightcrawler I simply tossed it into this little white water section and I hooked and caught a gigantic cutthroat trout which was looking back now it's probably five or six pounds it was gigantic on a nightcrawler I haven't been there for 30 years nothing against fly fisherman I totally get it I just don't know how to do it but I can tell you that no fish could ever turn down a nice juicy fat nightcrawler no weights tossed it into the foamy water and Bam I have not watch the video yet but I had to make this comment because it was probably one of the greatest moments of of my life.

[@brianm8611]

Don't happen to remember where exactly, do you?
