I LOVE how he pays back to nature by picking up before starting, it’s quite a beautiful feature about this guy and one of the many reasons why this guy needs to get millions of subs!

[@ema4165]

Love how your always happy doing what you love. Definitely isn’t “work”

[@pirman677]

Its 'passion'

Every bit of effort feels good if it’s for something you love... 🤙🏻

@@NWFishingSecrets can I give you one little cooking tip? Instead of cooking fish in just butter or a oil/butter combination, buy or make your own ghee. Ghee is just clarified butter but it's smoke point is 250 Celsius compared to 150 Celsius for butter. Has a slightly nutty flavour too. Can buy a jar of it at most grocery stores. Anyway, maybe give it a try and fish on!!

[@scattershotshow]

Man, on top of your great attitude, I want to commend your editing, filming, and production. You make it look effortless filming your adventures, but as someone who did video production for 7 years I know how hard it can be even just setting up a good shot. I'm a new viewer, but an instant fan. All best on your journey mate, it will be fun to see your channel grow!

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Thank you man, always appreciate a fellow creator enjoying the content! I’m still learning how to do it all, but loving the process! Glad you’re enjoying it 🤙🏻 🎣

[@nicholasyebra1988]

I can’t stress enough on the fact of cleaning up your damn trash everybody

[@100GTAGUY]

I target shoot more than fish at the moment, and I'll say the same for public gun ranges. Just pick up your trash, and dont use the range as your personal dumping ground people. One of the local ranges by me is beginning to look like an actual landfill with all the crap people dump there constantly.

[@Redneck557]

Ya its terrible I dont know how people can do that and not care

[@jeffreybunch3959]

I agree 🤗. What you take in take out.

[@r7t462]

I love how genuinely happy you are in each video. I’m so glad I found your channel and I’m really a fan of your videos

[@kevinthoj6078]

I love when people cares for their environment just as much as you do by picking up all those trash. Definitely makes the world a cleaner and better place to live in!! 💯 Keep up the awesome video, Brother!!

[@joereynolds2511]

Brother, as a fellow outdoorsman,Hunter,and Fisherman, I just want to thank you for being such an awesome ambassador for all of us. You sir will have such an impact on our future generations of young outdoors men/women that I am sure of. Keep up the fantastic work man. -Joe

[@360fishingadventures8]

At the rate he's going he'll have 1 million subs in no time. God I remember when he was fishin the Green for salmon and wondering why he didn't have more subs! When salmon season kicks up on my secret river I hope I can show him my spot.... it gets crazy.

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Haha thanks man. Can't wait for the fish to start coming in now too! They're already in lots of rivers 🎣 🔥

[@jessicarouse5280]

Hay

[@dylanpatterson85]

@@NWFishingSecrets Some advice I would have on your fly fishing: try not to spook the fish! Casting a bunch and smacking the water in the same spot can do this. Also, try and time your dry fly fishing for a hatch / morning & evening when they are rising. In fact, there are so many times they rise and I want to yell to switch to your fly rod! I want to see you get them haha. In addition, start experimenting with streamers in lakes and then Dry/Dropper setups in rivers. You'll catch more fish!

[@couvboiz6712]

Man can’t wait to see the salmon content, Host a meet and fish 😂😂

Going out for Salmon this Saturday 🤙 🎣

[@canadianlifetravel9216]

That camper van looks fantastic.. 😀Also thank you for your good mind to give something back to nature. Appreciate it.. Good times ahead bro

[@ThePartyShark]

I just found your channel last night and I’m probably already 5 or 6 hours deep. Man, I love your style. You’re super informative, love how you actually show the bonks and filleting, not that I’m a sadist, but for those who don’t really know how to dispatch or prep their fish you’re one of the only people who regularly show that, even how you hook your worms...some people just simply don’t know, you’re also super likable on camera, and most importantly, you’re making me want to get out of nyc and go hit up a lake. Next weekend. You’ve entertained and motivated me, Leif. Thanks my man, I’ll be sure to pick up some of your gear, like the ultralight setup and that inflatable mattress via your links. Fish on.

[@DjAMITGILAD]

Is it just me, or have these videos become more cinematic lately? They look amazing!

[@IDBackpacker]

The woods for me is my church. It’s where I get grounded. No matter what is going on in your life, or in the world, there’s nothing like the wilderness to help remind you that in all of that chaos is harmony. And you have to focus on the harmony over the chaos. I know all of the places you go, and I’m watching a skilled filmmaker capture what I could never describe. Sincerely, thank you for everything that you do.

[@thesauceandgravychannel]

Love your happy adventurous attitude. Great work on the fish snag recovery 👍👍

[@aaronc3722]

Stumbled upon this channel bing watched everything and was checking everyday for the new upload 😂

I haven't watched the video yet but I need to say that it's felt like a year since you uploaded last and that notification was a welcome sight man! 🤘

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Haha thank you man! Definitely want to upload more often. Let me know what you'd like to see more of! Enjoy the video 🎣

[@Jake-xy9lt]

@@NWFishingSecrets That was awesome! Have you got the ability to travel outside of Washington at all? It would be awesome to see you link up with Ace Videos in Boise for a little series. I'd love to see you hand line some trout too, I think I've only seen one video like that and I plan on doing it at some point.

[@Tolariant5915]

“Just one cast” he said (20 cast later) “I got a bite but it is small thought” he said

Dude it's like a half sized quesadilla made into a burrito. I'm loving it!

@17:25 I could feel/taste that sip of coffee deep in my soul. Something about fresh brew in nature. I always make some on the bank when I go out early.

[@alexjdcarr]

I went up to Alpine Lake in the Sawtooths and cought a 17 inch brook trout. Also go check out outdoor idaho season 37 episode 4 timestamp 35:40 and there will be a kid fishing thats me with a 7 inch brook trout.

[@NWFishingSecrets]

That's a GIANT Brookie man! Awesome! will go check it out 🤙

[@Cian41080]

could you make a full setup on all of the rods you use love the content btw

[@tonyasanders]

There's something wonderful in fly-fishing it's absolutely beautiful to watch.

[@lilfriedmonkeys]

definitely respect the way you treat the environment picking up trash in every video, thank you for that!

[@alexjdcarr]

also if you ever hear a noise thats sounds like a whip while on your backcast with a fly rod, check your line your fly might have come off

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Great advice! Heard that noise later on that trip, only to see my bullet lure fly into the lake no longer attached to the line 😂 😭

[@luketriebwasser6582]

I would love to see a cabezon catch and cook in the San Juan’s!

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Definitely a great idea 🎣 🔥

[@gregorywthomas]

Dude, love the videos. There's tons of videos of people fishing, but the person makes the content enjoyable. I like that you're environmentally conscious, humble and have a great time. Keep making these and I'll keep watching.

Ur amazing, cleaning after other people, caring for smaller fish, and most importantly, you teach begginers 🥰

[@JengVideos]

If you can’t fill it with trash, at least fill it with trash! That’s my model

[@daveyjonstate]

Why don't you de-scale the fish, looks like you eat the fish with the scales on🤔 Anyways, come to LA Fitness in Covington and bring me some of that "Danish sea salt". Das ist Wunderbar!

[@TheEkarlate]

there is no scale on trout. there is a slim that is helping them to swim in the water. and thats why its very important to water your hand before mamipulate them they are very sensitive fish and can die pretty easily.

[@jackmoriarty5584]

The scales puff up and add a great crispy layer
