Follow the boys as they spend 3 days on the world-famous Henry's Fork river chasing after the salmon fly hatch. An overnight float, some backcountry meals and a whole lot of floating is involved as they explore this river system. The boys envisioned big salmon fly eats from big fish with no one in sight, but this story goes a bit differently.

Mechanic here, I love the fix. You do what you can in those situations and fishing always takes priority

[@Derk-ip2pq]

You guys should look into doing a trip for the Michigan Hex Hatch. It would be a challenge to tape but it’s one of the craziest things I’ve seen with my own eyes. Like the salmon flies of the east. Always love the vids, excited to see what else y’all do this year!

[@halvo11]

Please god no we don’t need anymore people fishing that in Michigan. It’s already packed enough bro

[@Derk-ip2pq]

@@halvo11 I agree it gets crowded but mostly only on the Au Sable, some of the lesser known rivers can be empty and still have good hatches. You’re right though it could kinda spot burn the entire state and that might suck

[@dankochanek8056]

You guys should try and hit the Hex hatch. I live in the west now but lived in Michigan during my youth. Great hatch, almost better then here. Why the hell would anyone bring politics into a fly fishing ? We get away from this when we go fly fishing. Dumb Ass!!!

[@Derk-ip2pq]

@@dankochanek8056 Yeah I don’t get how our governor has anything to do with the native freakishly large mayflies

Elite 'slice of life' intro. Scottie always finds a way to keep elevating the story-telling

[@DanVanLife]

Big hype! Got my first fly Rod a week ago, got a Sony ZV-E10 two days ago, and have the book you’re reading that you showed in your last video on the way!🙏🏼

[@JoshMoore424]

Well done fellas. Always enjoy your production. Dad lesson at the beginning. Every car you own should have a small tool kit with about 50 good zipties and some electrical and duct tape- no excuses. $50 all in and you saw on this trip how it can change your day! Much love from FL. Big Snook season here!

[@evankassel6733]

I enjoyed watching this one very much. Such a cool looking river. Thanks for sharing!

[@so_fly_adventures]

Sooo Good!!! Thanks for sharing this trip!!

[@jpstanton3223]

I love that you guys film and include the good, bad and ugly. So many videos want to make it looks like, "yea we killed it"... this proves that in actuality, sometimes, it almost kills you between cars, mud, weather etc. Keep killing it guys!

[@bombadil776]

Always look forward to watching these. I even think about them when i'm away from YT.

[@coltonmason8290]

It's always a good day when you see WildFly Productions posted a new video. You guys always post the best videos it's seriously my favorite thing to watch.

[@RichardL291]

Amazing video. Such different fishing to Scotland but one day I have to float these big western rivers! Love it Scottie!

[@NastyN8R84]

Sitting around a campfire, after a delicious meal, listening to a friend play guitar and sing, is probably one of the single-most enjoyable experiences life has to offer.

[@justinmcquaide4862]

Hands down the best fly fishing videos on KZbin always top class to watch. I’d love to meet Scottie someday he seems such a great fella !! Only thing is I’m in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@mainHERO88]

Scottie, go fish Ireland!

[@mariobutler1219]

You guys really inspire me to start fly fishing I’ve been watching before the short bus trips. And this year I’m going to try to get all my equipment for next year and I’m a give it a try thank you for inspiring -from MA

[@user-di6gg1ik1n]

I love what all of you do. All of you are great ambassadors to fly fishing. Keep up the great work. I’ve been fly fishing since I was 3, so that is 47 years on the water. In the past 5 years I’ve seen younger people on the stream and that is great. Keep introducing people to fly fishing.

[@darrelbaillie7829]

Great video😂 Scotty. Yet one again a great adventure. And some nice singing from Steve. Hope you replaced that torn duct and the car is running better. Tight lines, and hope to see you and Adam and the Short Bus crew on the road again.

[@Badventurez]

What an adventure you had for sure! Keep up the amazing content bro, and don't forget you're inspiring many of us! 🤙

[@Mr.Lane3]

Got my first ever trout on fly it was a decent brown trout in Colorado it was so fun to do so this channel made me keep trying and trying

[@FishingTheUpperOwensVia395]

Great Video boys. I blame it on the air filter, great Macgyver job on that though. Weather , flows and temps are the Holy Trinidad for us fly fisherman. keep up that great work!!!!!!!!!

[@brandonhansen5409]

Me and a buddy were on the Henry's Fork probably within a day or two of you guys (even hiked up and down that same boat slide as Steve at the beginning of the video). It was rainy and tough conditions, but still better than being at work :). Great video as always.

[@harryurban4219]

You never disappoint. Another awesome video . What an amazing video

[@alsyoutube]

Thats fishin for ya.. Great content as always. I saw the cabin I stayed in up on the cliffs outside Ashton in your drone shot at the beginning of day 3. Thanks for bringing back such great memories!

[@Camv6173]

Yesssss another wildfly upload 🙌🏽🔥

[@prolificnorthwest]

Great video and way to adapt. Cheers!

[@danielmeyer6082]

Scottie, another awesome video. Keep them coming. Just curious, though, what happened to the short bus?

[@jamesbrede8700]

That fishing trip made me a little bit sleepy 🤭

[@mikeembasado668]

Soon as I get home from fishing I’m watching this!

[@MrConnert]

Epic adventure. Ya'll caught some beauties.

[@WadeTheWild]

I know Steve! I shoot archery with him on league nights. Crazy that he popped up on a random fly fishing vid. I was just on the Henry’s tonight until 9:30.

[@seanfalconer7182]

Another incredible video 😎👍🏻

[@OscarOverlanding]

Awesome video!!! Thanks again!!!!!

[@LuckZOG]

Always looking forward to each video !!

[@carterbrown2358]

I was up in the Panhandle National Forest around the same time. Awesome video!

[@codymccormick7317]

Thank you so much for making these. I live in north Idaho, around some of the best rivers you can get to. I’ve taken it for granted for so long, but these videos have got me on the river with my rod over the past few weeks. Haven’t caught shit, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had. Just thanks for reminding us how awesome it is to go chill in nature and try to land some big ol fish.

[@mikehester4163]

Great video. Good vibes,,good friends, great Dog.

[@hunterfrye8079]

Love how a dude from Boone is now living the dream. Scotty, keep rolling man. Your videos allow me to still get on the water when life doesn’t allow me to. Side note: what song was playing at 30:23??

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks boss! And it’s “American Millionare” by JD Clayton.

[@demarcusdafiker]

This finna b fire

[@nathanchapman9836]

I’m a little surprised you boys didn’t think duct tape would fix that rubber hose good enough to carry on down the road. That was the obvious solution to anyone from the south. 😉

[@WesWright-xl2rr]

Awesome video Scotty!!!

[@midwestdepp]

Remember the best way to tell a story is product placement, thank you, youtube lol

[@lea71555]

Such a good film 👌

Glad to see your doing it right with Vermont maple syrup!

[@Smokyfilms57]

When is the school bus diaries coming back!!!

[@chasecoughlan1038]

That river has been a big part of my upbringing. Locals call them Trout Flies though. I think they tend to be a little smaller than classic Salmon Flies, but I could be completely wrong haha

[@nicholassmith2223]

great video as always!

[@davidwillis4223]

Love your vids, Scotty. So well done. Your hooksets though… 😂

[@burkeylynnadventures]

The magical and mythical Salmon Fly Hatch. Last year it was magical for me on the Colorado and this year, like your trip, it was more mythical. But, I'll be out there every year cuz when it's magical, it's an incredible Mother Nature and fishing experience! Great trip, great fun and great film again guys! PS ... I wore my old beat up Wild Fly hat during my Tarpon fishing trip in FLA last week. It's now my Super Lucky Hat cuz baby the Tarpon launched! WhooHoooo! #wildflyhat #superluckyhat

[@GraceHoene]

I love watching all of your content. Just discovered it not too long ago and I’ve been going back and watching all of it. The evolution of your video, editing, and story telling skills is interesting in itself! One thing I would love to see more of… female anglers! Take a cool fly fishing chick on one of your trips :)

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Another great video, should have titled it “ that’s why they call it fishing “ Thanks for sharing.

[@kmilesSC]

Dude! Get you a little tool kit and some Duc Tape!

[@scarriec]

Love this! It's inspiring to get out and face the unknown. Chances are that even if it doesn't go as expected, it will become the thing of future expectations.

[@AlecColon]

Awesome video as always. Head over to the Catskills to the home of American fly fishing and get some of those wild brookies

[@maxlima-xh1be]

congratulations on the fishing👍🏼🇧🇷

[@moncarnetdepeche]

Hello from France :) Let's start this movie !

[@stevebooher7419]

Nice roadside diagnosis on the broken Honda - saved the trip! Yep, always have some duct tape, screw drivers and a few wrenches stashed in the rig.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Fantastic hatch

[@taylorrichardson377]

I saw you guys while eating at the frostop. Salmon flys were tough this year high flows and it stayed cold for a long time.

[@MrTysonHuges]

That boat slide at 3:33 been there done that! IT was painful hahaha

[@DEGuideService]

Jeeeze Scottie, never leave home without gorilla tape! I temp fixed my pilot intake boot with saran wrap and duct tape til I got a new one lol

[@markgauthier3553]

The good, the bad and the ugly. Keeping it real boys 👍🏼

[@54Wde]

What ever happened to the short bus diaries crew? You guys should link up and do more content. Those series were awesome and had a lot of personality.

[@shoreessentials3519]

Well done!

"Getting on the water at noon, we might be the first ones down the river." Ha

Broke down at Devils creek res. and campground. One of my old stomping grounds before it got overcrowded.

[@RadGhost-gt5sq]

You guys should go on the Owyhee in Oregon, I just caught an 18 inch brownie out of there, it’s really good right now. There’s a bunch of tan caddis, black caddis, and green drakes. I was using a hopper dropper with a midge!

[@Filmer-hands]

We cook the fish we catch how come y’all don’t? Gods gift .

[@Lucasryan]

Another instant classic from wild fly 🤘 Anyone know what song is playing around the 30 minute mark? Its driving me nuts trying to figure it out 🤣

[@WildFlyProductions]

“American Millionaire” by JD Clayton

[@nooneofimportance7025]

Can’t believe with all the fly fisherman not a single person went for that patch kit for the intake…well at least you got it done

[@user-qs6hw6hm9t]

Yo this is Ryan from the TRR fly shop I have a drift boat and fish up here every day if you ever want to come back to Idaho and go get em you need to come fish with your boy

[@Koederschlacht]

This turned out awesome and I really thank you for sharing this with us. Could you share the KZbin channel of your friend, who is filming some stuff for you and is also showing his talent on his own channel?

[@centurione6489]

Flyfishing the salmon fly hatch floating the Rockies rivers rivals flyfishing the tarpons in Florida ... and that's saying something!

[@willbrown1785]

you caught perfectly good fish for those fish tacos

[@NastyHobits]

Did a trip to the Deschutes in Oregon this year and hit the salmonfly hatch.. except it was rainy every day we were there in July. Maybe there's a 2023 salmonly curse!

[@slumpplum2376]

another banger

[@ryans7530]

Hearing JD Claymore- American Millionaire playing made the video 👍

[@WildFlyProductions]

JD is so good!

[@coachbjorn]

Adventures are like that, right? Just don't know how it will go until you get out there. Good stories rarely come from when everything goes according to plan.

[@kolbypalmer4263]

Love the Greta in the background @ 8:13 hahah

[@jackdraper8603]

I’d love a “Shoutout Duct Tape” t-shirt. I’d also love to know where I can send a set of tools so you can do that yourselves next time!

[@charlenelg2026]

You should come back and my husband can show you the best local river! On the west side of idaho! 🤫

[@cachi-7878]

@5:15, ever since I got broken in during my weekend fishing trips, I now carry duct tape in my car at all times. Should probably get some tools too…😊

[@williamtennant8634]

Do a trip to the Ausable River in the Adirondacks

[@nitro1380]

Do you have a link or video of your buddies rafting setup?

[@jimbellinghiri8771]

[@jega157]

Nice!!! Yeah.... can't force mother nature....gotta take what you're given.

[@WA-eg7ft]

Watching now.

[@rawilson9299]

If "almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, then I'm a lucky bastard. I almost got to fish the HFR in the fall of '21. Pretty sure that I missed out and got bumped due to my Cali residency. I get it, there's a LOT of crazy, wacked out people down here and we should get a raised eyebrow most the time. Fortunately, I ended up fishing the Madison in Yellowstone instead with Lonnie Wells. He showed me an excellent time with 5 fish. No trophies but a couple whites and browns and a rainbow. Maybe next time. I must admit that I envy you guys a little, but I do get to live vicariously through your quality vids. Brings me right back to the back packing trips in the high Sierras chasing Goldens with my brother. So, thank you for sharing your adventures. For 30 minutes I get to try and feel like the only thing that matters is my indicator...Fish On!

[@rawilson9299]

Oh yeah. JD Clayton, spot on!

[@chaseharper5810]

No not fish purgatory 😂

[@caseyanderson7922]

Random question… what pants was Steve using on the float? Been looking for some like that!

[@bobbystewartathleteandcraf7056]

idk if I can wait

[@adamesserine4936]

Do you use bead head rubber legs or split shot above them?
