"He smiled and said 'I didn't cast on him' and I aswered 'I know'. He's a good friend, so he wouldn't do that." Love this. Me and my best friend and fishing partner are just the same.

[@andrewortega4189]

A good cigar, a dog, great topics of discussion, and the great outdoors... what else can a man ask for?!!? And the main topic is fly fishing and conservation is the icing on the cake! The only other topics that are missing is hockey teams, gear reviews, and favorite 4x4 rigs. Haha lol

[@Coastfly]

LOL 😅

[@hikesteepfishhigh]

😂 i like my cigar wrappers dark, the filler lime green, my whiskey Irish, my mountains the Sierra Nevada and my trout wild and golden.

[@timmanion2197]

“The hotel trout.” What a story! So few of us remember how to walk away knowing that this one moment, here, now, IS the gift, not to be lost in needing more…. “Want to fish some more?” “No! F…K no!!!” Gonna remember that one for a long time. Thanks!

[@joakimloqvist7931]

Its a gift to be able to appreciate something like this to its fullest.

[@LNKOutdoors]

This man, named Stefan, is a really nice guy! I usually visit him in he´s flyshop every summer up in Älvdalen. It is a beautiful place, great fishing and real wilderness. The work he has been doing for the rivers in the area is amazing! Keep up the great job, Uggen!

[@gB-gm7vy]

Good job to winning thst court case. That’s a huge plus for the environment.

[@Coastfly]

Every Victory counts!! Worldwide... 💯

[@kelangelo2773]

Ridiculously inspiring man! We need more people like this 👏🏽👏🏽

[@restorationconcrete]

The knowledge this guy has in incredible. A real treasure for trout fishermen.

[@glennamesquita6386]

Wow what a story and I fully support what he is doing and so glad some people understand how important nature is to all of us so many thanks and happy trails.

[@bolesawkrzyzakowski2759]

Hello, I will subscribe if there will be more movies with just this man !!! Passion, love for rivers and flay fishing, this is what I have and that is all for me !!! Hope to see you !!!

[@mttrout1969]

So many rivers in this world have suffered. We are the reason. Thank you for fighting the fight.

[@ironheadforge6308]

Cant stop watching this doc over and over

[@TruthAboutHeaven]

Fascinating documentary. Loved it. Thanks!

[@davidgregg8757]

Top class! Excellent watch, that’s what fly fishing is all about

[@panilssonmsc9636]

Jäkla fint porträtt av Stefan och mkt bra ljus, ljud och vinklar. Mvh PA

[@kevinmorris1965]

loved this, the great things he is doing for the trout. awesome job Stephan and awesome video.

[@Jadesfishing]

Incredible story and video. I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing!!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Wonderful film, thank you for sharing!

[@petterelfqvist]

What a video! My father, who unfortunately passed away last year, never got the chance to see the fish swimming freely all the way up from Siljan again. He was born in 1933 and remembered when the river flowed freely. His story about the fishermen and fishing in the past, still inspires me. He never got to see the full restoration that I now hope Stefan and all the rest of us will see in the near future. But as dad said, the river is still regulated and unfortunately not as wild as it used to be. He was also one of the last living people who actually helped build the largest of Älvdalen's dams (Trängslet) and measured where the water would reach. That there would be such an enormous impact on nature was not realized at the time, and Sweden needed energy.

[@Coastfly]

My condolences brother. Thank you for sharing this story! Did your dad know stefan?

[@petterelfqvist]

@@Coastfly Thank you. No, he didn't know him personally and neither do I, but he followed his case against the hydroelectric companies. Stefan has become synonymous with fishing and the river for many people. The last summer (2022) my father was alive, he and I travelled the river one last time in a rubber raft (Icross from Sweden). He was tired but enjoyed every second and talked about all the names of places in the minority language Älvdalska, which existed after the river. The Rotälven that flows into the Österdalälven was also almost a bit sacred to him, which you realise if you travel up the valley. It is something special to see where a river start and begins.

[@manuelsuda]

Excellent production and story guys. Thanks

[@makinger6765]

It was a plessure to Met him last year in älvdalen. A buityfull Peace of earth 💪

[@ulfborjesson4026]

Well done Stefan, Coastfly and Ahrex

[@joeduca8582]

Awesome film Morten! Thanks 😁👍

[@jamessims5240]

Fantastic production! Thank you!

[@thebucketshooter2592]

Awesome cinematography and story telling.

[@Michtinko]

So so beautiful!! thx for this, pleasure for soul!!

[@nobodyhome8148]

That was a Fabulous piece of work guys ! Loved to meet Stephan and hear the story of the "Hotel Trout" 😆 I hope the fishways restore the river to its former GLORY !

[@joakimloqvist7931]

It is a great story.

[@Cashmoneyification]

Amazing clip. Bittersweet story about the trout. Also a big thanks Stefan for setting a gold frame to my visit to Dalvälven last fall, the flies you helped me pick worked as a charm ofc. 🤟🍻

[@daled8221]

Absolutely awesome story, thanks!!!

[@flyfish3687]

Congrats! Very nice told story and a cool video!

[@timedmonds2315]

Thanks for sharing. A similar story from my community here in Nova Scotia. 3 dams, no fishways and it killed our salmon and trout population. Sad but hopeful that maybe someday things will change.

[@t3hgraemek]

same in new brunswick, they killed the Saint John river with dams

[@kevinjtoner]

Very cool video!!!…….Thank you!!! 👍🎣

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Fabulous video 🎣👍. I feel your pain, when THAY cut off the life line of migrating fish 🥺

[@chubbydamron672]

Amen Brother!

[@eh6363]

Great video. I'm sorry that you have been not getting much in return from KZbin for all your good content and beautiful flies. I hope that changes for you.

[@Coastfly]

Thank you for your words! It´s not always easy to keep the same motivation up - i´ll admit that!

[@johnthefisherman6586]

This is conservation , This is passion , This is living to catch another day ! it's not just trout , it's every water way every day . The way fishing was taught , take what you need and never more . eat from the wild and learn to replenish it .

[@Dogsprop]

great film and story of a very interesting angler!

[@goadventuree]

"Eventually we rose" Not: stood up, got off our knees (that what she said) left the river....etc. This man is a Fly Fishing legend. If ever asked who I'd like to sit down and have a dinner with, I now have an answer. Willing to start a suit against a Big Corp, fight it to its' success, and wishing to see it all come to fruition....In the grand scheme of things it ain't much, but I'm wishing you do too. Friends a legend too; whatta pal

[@davidgregg8757]

Need more videos of this guy

[@dennisbaker8878]

outstanding. simply outstanding. thank you.

[@BeyerOutdoors]

Great story & documentary quality.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice . Very beautiful place where you live . Some great video work with some great stories . I hope you live long enough to see the trout highway .keep the faith:-)

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

When I grow up, I would definitely will try to be this guy.

[@joelacey5243]

"The HotelTrout" The gentleman before my comment Tim Manion could not have said it better : "a gift not to be lost in needing more" well put...

[@Kiltedwoodsmith]

Love it.

[@eastonschneider4381]

Let's make this man a documentary so that way he can keep his studies going forward

[@nobodyhome8148]

This is some Awesome Film making .......... Real Pro Grade !

[@Coastfly]

Thank you!!

[@ptakvm]

I was a troutbum once long, long ago in a distant land far away from Sweden in a place called Montana. Nowadays, in that distant land, there are still great hatches but a new emergence of an insidious nature has infested all of Montana's great waters. It comes in different sizes and multiple colors. It is not what a classic troutbum would use and its sole purpose is to increase fly anglers to snag fish no matter what skill level. It has devastated what was once the greatest waters It has now infested the world. I was a troutbum once

[@Jingling-MelO]

Are you a gear fisherman? What's wrong with fly fishermen? You say they snag.. cuz of flossing? I have these questions because I'm new to fishing, have a couple friends I join. One is a gear fisherman, one is a fly fishermen. There is definitely a rift between styles. So any added information for me to understand the rift or differences between the two styles, would be greatly appreciated. I am actually interested in both styles and don't understand the reason for such differences

[@ptakvm]

@@Jingling-MelO I refer to the influx of indicator fly fisherman particularly during a hatch

[@Jingling-MelO]

@@ptakvm is that frowned upon? And why? I'm curious as I'm trying to choose float/gear and fly fishing for rivers. Have a coffee grinder reel so not optimal for fast waters

[@838beb]

🙄

[@davidgregg8757]

True words 🤝

[@recandcut]

Very nice film! What camera and lenses were used?

[@justinbuchholz0420]

That was an amazing story…. Talk about life goals

[@danielostman5805]

it´s so sad to se and hear about all the hydro powerplants here in weden, the rivers here have been destroyed by them, i have heard storys from the old guys here about the salmon and seatrout fishing in the river i usually fish in, (indalsälven) and they say that the amount of fish that came up the river every year was insane, salmon was even a "crap" fish to alot of people who lived and worked by the river. it would have been amazing to see something like that.

[@AngelGutierrez-gw3ff]

Good for them fighting a huge corporation and winning 🥇 👏! I love fishing always have always will!

[@echaurren30]

un abrazo fraterno graxias por el aporte a la conservacion de las truchas

[@danielsepulveda8419]

[@jacobmayoral7614]

[@stuartmarriott8056]

Bittersweet story beautifully told.

[@Coastfly]

Thank you!

[@crunchycrails1436]

[@jonathanchoe2329]

Awsome video. I am from S. Korea. I own a fly shop called Rainbow Outfitters.

[@Coastfly]

Thank you! How is business owning a fly shop in s Korea? Is it just as popular as here? What do you fish for?

[@iitra]

[@Freedeeism]

Bra skägg!

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

You should make more videos, and tie more flies!

[@dogsoldier7779]

Good Friends Are Good. Good Trout Are Great.

[@Boon-ie1rq]

Thanx to Uma, Grandma, the toothless, Pa, the nun next door and the aPolice officer that put me in jail

[@harleymandk]

I wonder how others get a work like that ? just your locky day ?

[@kodyryan4773]

Where i live the river i grew up fishing that normally has a great population of big brown trout hardly has any at all anymore between agriculture drought and " environmental" work they are doing they have killed almost all the fish only me and a few other guys are even aware of it im so sad i still fish it but hardly hook anything

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

Red spots no way the white pec fins stick out when a brook trout swims by ,the white pec fins ,that's a brooktrout an u can't say brook trout without thinking MAINE ,we have natives

[@hunterbennett111]

Love the video but the music is WAAAYYYYY too loud and the speech volume is WAAAAYYYYY too low

[@Coastfly]

I guess it depends on what you watch it on. This is best to watch with headphones.

[@RiverWhisperPrd]

These types of videos kill me....they never tell you the name of the river

[@Coastfly]

well the river is 100´s of miles long and located in sweden. Also the video is about him and not the river.

[@kelangelo2773]

Ridiculously inspiring man! We need more people like this 👏🏽👏🏽

[@Coastfly]

I agree!
