A Week of Fly Fishing in Alaska

[@hunterfitch5951]

Last Summer ('22) I was blessed to go fishing in Kenai with my father who has dementia and Alzheimer's. It turned out to be perfect timing as his health has taken a turn and he would no longer be able to physically do that trip again. Fishing in Alaska was never on my bucket list but something changed in me that trip. Not only will I cherish the memories made there with my father, but I loved it so much that I was able to convince 3 buddies of mine to book a week-long trip for the Summer of '24. Watching this video didn't just make me miss Alaska, it made my heart ache for it. I can't wait to go back.

[@rhiys]

Not long left to wait now my friend. My father passed shortly after our last fishing trip. He stands beside me in spirit every time I cast. Sending well wishes from England. Alaska is too a dream of mine. One day I'm sure of it.

No place like Alaska! A bit of advice, get off our few road systems, traffic here in Alaska and actually see, fish “real Alaska “! Just saying.😉👍

[@SkavenjerOG]

How was the trip?

[@jaydenturley3986]

The production quality on this channel is insanely well done.

[@masonrubio9460]

You could say it’s wild!

[@DentSideDee71]

Definitely I subbed!

[@Kovaction]

We agree! Having edited stuff like this, the workflow is pretty intense but very rewarding.

[@jamesflowers940]

As always, an incredible film. Way to bring it home guys

[@deltadeltas4558]

As a physician, a fly fisher and a pilot I can say Dr. Bob has absolutely nailed it! I can think of nothing better than flying a Beaver out to a beautiful lake and throwing a streamer for whatever will bite.

[@jonathangosling2145]

That guide Bob, has got to be one of the nicest and coolest guides I've seen! What a gem to be able to go out with

[@garygray7719]

I lived in Homer Alaska for eight years teaching at Alaska Bible Ins. I fly fished the Anchor River but never fly fished the kenai river. I live back in Michigan now, but I still miss fishing for steel head and salmon in Alaska. Maybe some day I'll make it back up there. scotts3man

[@garrettmaynrd]

Your channel is one of my absolute favorites. You knock it out of the park, every single time. Storytelling is moving, cinematography is stellar, color grading is clean and crisp, and the people bring such life to each video. Please, keep it up.

[@RikAbramss]

Just woke up early Sunday morning I was searching for something to watch I found your post home video thank you for starting my day wonders in amazement put a smile on my face thank you all

[@corbinsimons8036]

No other youtube channel leaves me so sad that the video is over when it is, awesome work as usual!

[@lougostinger6574]

Just got back from a week at All Alaska Outdoors with Dr. Bob and team. I was inspired by this video and booked our trip last November. It was even better than we imagined. The fishing, lodging, accommodations, scenery, local restaurants and the flying excursions were all over the top. By far, the best fly fishing trip we’ve ever experienced. Thanks Dr. Bob and the Wild Fly team for the inspiration.

[@j.t.patton7820]

That is one of the most Soul-stirring video productions I have ever seen! God bless you boys.

[@heavymarinem33tsmorris89]

Probs 8th time watching this and still never gets boring one of the best episodes

[@lucaspensis2378]

"500 S&W in my tackle bag. That's for anyone that misses a fish" lmfao great video guys, such high quality filming and editing makes for amazing production.

[@patroell]

Looks like you guys had an amazing time! Bob seems like an awesome guy, killer production work as always!

[@mikehulsey4813]

One of the best I’ve seen you guys do, and a refreshing reminder of why I myself need to make it back to that amazingly wild place. Thanks for taking us along!

[@ArthurTorrias]

Man, I miss Alaska. Lived up there for 12 years and it was the only place I truly felt at home. Maybe someday I'll go back and live the rest of my days there.

[@uh3287]

its been about the same amount of time and im ready to go now. this last winter is especially long it feels like

[@t-jh4236]

Where did you live? I lived up there from 1980-2002. Graduated from Dimond High in Anchorage.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks for all the love on the film so far! For those asking, the poem at the end is “The Spell of the Yukon” by Robert Service. Cheers!

[@bill_da_cat608]

I feel like you guys could make a daytrip to go catch sunfish into an IF4-ready film! Thanks for doing all you do!

[@coop5593]

Thanks for yet another top notch video. The filming is stunning, and the quality of these films just get better and better. Can't wait to see were you guys go next!

[@warrenwilliams363]

Been along with you since the beginning @ App State & have enjoyed experiencing your growth as a fly fishing videographer. 👍👍

[@paulebennett9342]

Amazing video you dudes. My new favorite. It looks like you guys had the most amazing trip with a wonderful guided professional Alaskans. Who are super cool. Adam I'm proud of u for jumping in the lake Even tho u were scared. Hahaha great video amazing fish. Id love to invite you guys back to Montana and get into "the land of giants" rainbow trout and brown trout. On a section of the Missouri River not many get to experience, even tho it's within an earshot of Helena. Hit me up.

[@vincentphillips9252]

Excellent.

[@colinlockwood6615]

I know im late to this video... but I ate it up. This brought so much life to my soul... I lost my dad just this past April and we were planning a fly fishing trip together that we never got to take. Joes poem had me balling.. thank you for this. I hope to one day visit Alaska and do this trip in honor of my dad.

[@aparker2216]

My favorite one yet! That poem at the end gave me chills…very very well done.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Same here! Imagine hearing that while flying through the mountains…

[@aparker2216]

@@WildFlyProductions yeah I’d still have those chills if that were the case!

[@123marlo]

I had tears coming to my eyes watching this as I was in Alaska when 9/11 happened and it all comes back to you there is no place like it on the planet it’s just magical and when I was there we caught plenty of fish all kinds and met really nice people who I still keep in touch with and I feel watching this that I would love to come back with my son and let him see what it’s all about ,don’t get me wrong it’s a long haul for us coming from Scotland but it’s worth it so peace to all you guys for 2023 and tight lines 👍🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️

[@faronyoung164]

I'd have to say, you all topped yourselves, I truly loved this video. Great production and what an amazing adventure you all had, the part with Bob reciting the "The Spell Of The Yukon" was a truly was a showstopper! I have watched you from the beginning. keep up the good work guys.

[@tick_magnetedschaper5611]

I have been watching your videos for quit a while now. I'm not much for commenting but after this one I felt a need to say something. It is amazing how you have improved over the years. A Week of Fly Fishing in Alaska is just wonderful! Beautiful! You have become a master story teller. Can it get any better? I have no doubt. I feel blessed for having found your adventures. Thanks!

[@WildFlyProductions]

I appreciate that so much! This one was a grind but I’m stoked to have it out in the world finally.

[@MAndersenbamboorods]

One of the greatest videos you have ever done. I only have been there once not to fly fish but as my brother in law calls it a meat trip for halibut. 1200# of halibut is what our group got. At 70 I thought I would never see it. But as a retirement present he took me along. It is something picture just can’t describe. Thank you for sharing.

[@Gunbunsoutdoors]

The landscape around there is unbelievable! Such a great video with an awesome story, great job as always!!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thank you so much!

[@TheSpaniel1]

This film is the most enthralling, stunning and emotive that every fisherman should watch…….over and over again. Thank you for sharing

[@TheGareBear11]

Hands down, one of my favorite videos you've done!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Wow, thanks dude!

[@weswolf73]

As an Alaskan i appreciate this video and am glad to see someone who understands why i am an Alaskan.

[@danielvillard3960]

Amazing film. You guys have inspired me more than I can say. From a kid who fly fished a little growing up in the Adirondack mountains now in NC. I’m moving out west and plan on living the dream on the rivers. Thanks for everything y’all do. I’ve learned a lot watching you over the years and can’t wait for next one. Tight lines

[@zhouyufei5641]

有钱就是不一样，直接开飞机✈️去钓鱼🎣。

[@charlievaluck]

Dr. Bob seems like quite the gentleman. You guys are so lucky to have gotten to experience that. Beautiful

[@LoneAngler218]

The best 48minutes of my Sunday! Well done fellas and thanks for sharing this epic adventure!!

[@evansanford6941]

You guys have inspired me to start fly fishing up here in Michigan. I got my great grandfathers old hand built fly rod mounted and just ordered a redington to get started. So thank you. My whole family loves watching your videos even my 5 month old son! So thank you

[@chrisjhanson]

Great job guys! You captured so much of why I go every June to All Alaska Outdoors.

[@StevieH-1872]

Being Scottish there's only two places on earth I'm jealous of, New Zealand and Alaska but the sheer wilderness of Alaska makes it the worlds best fly fishing not to mention it's completely wild!! Those fish in this video probably never seen a artificial in their life... Amazing place!!!

[@kseutt]

This content shouldn't be free; this is absolutely unreal work by all of you involved. Love it. Lived in Alaska for two years; I'd love to get back! Cheers fellas.

[@calvinhyde447]

I was fortunate enough to get to go this summer, and you guys did a beautiful job portraying this wonderful place! Thank you!

[@jonathanalcantara300]

This video made me emotional. The poem couldn't describe the inner feelings I get in these places any better! Thank you

[@domtiesflies743]

This is your best work yet. Thanks for your sacrifice and all the things that you have to do behind the scenes to bring us these great films. Keeping pushing onward and upward. Your work has already come so far. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

[@guybartlett4774]

I am a Brit who has visited Alaska 3 times for fishing trips over the last 8 years and actually stayed at a lodge not far from Soldotna one time. This amazing video has just motivated me to start saving for my 4th trip. The lodge is on my list!

[@hunters1372]

Y’all are too good at making these videos, makes the viewer feel like we’re there with you. Hello and glad you’re doing well from back here in NC

[@XanderBudnick]

That was a fun watch, thanks for sharing

[@GOadventue]

Couldn’t help myself to get a little emotional to that poem. And what a trip guys

[@WildFlyProductions]

that poem hits hard!

[@briandonohue2502]

Love the story. Sounds like most stories I've heard over my fifty, almost sixty years of living here and there's my own experience. I commercial fished in Bristol Bay and west Cook Inlet, fly rod on the many rivers in Kodiak while a fox tried to steal my first catch only to find out there was a brown bear in the bushes behind us,, trolling in the southwest waters of Annette Island, fighting off a mother moose on the Kenai peninsula on a canoe trip, confronted by several bears in Katmai (like six or seven} fly fishing in Yakutat while a bear was coming across the river towards us in high grass at Lost River. Yeah, this is good stuff, but its just another day in Alaska. Not to mention the black bear that was just on our two-story deck eating the leftover bird seeds. My cat didn't like it but all is good. Alaska is so much more than a short expose can cover, so I humbly ask forgiveness for seeming to make light of your experience, There are still a lot of "old timers" in Alaska that remember a different time. I encourage you to explore that avenue because I haven't come across anyone that has yet ( I could be wrong) produced a significant account of Alaskan history in the twentieth century. Most of us do not want further attention bringing in more "outsiders" but I am proud of our state and while I don't like what is happening even in our remote location, there are SO many stories that would enthrall readers but that generation is expiring. Go get these stories while you can, otherwise, they might be lost to time,

[@jackmooreoutdoors8059]

Although I'm only two minutes into this video, I just wanted to say I know this is going to be a banger!!!

[@Bethethird]

This docu/show brought my understanding of quality to another level. Masterclass in film.

[@roamtim]

You guys make amazing videos and this one is a step up even for the high bar here. The ruggedness, the landscapes, the outdoors, the people, absolutely stunning!! Exceptional capture of a great adventure!

[@myfliesopen]

I come here for the Fly fishing content but leave with so much more. You present your story so well, like a well placed dry.... and I can't help but come up and eat it.

[@MrnMrsMoonBeast]

Amazing scenery and experiences. Your productions have a sense of inclusion that pulls me in with each video and makes it feel like I'm right there with y'all. Keep 'em comin'!!

[@brianpapiez1719]

Another amazing trip and this is on my bucket list to take my son. The thing I love about your videos is it’s not just about fishing but it’s a combination of enjoying the outdoors with friends and family. I used to look forward to the numbers of fish I hoped to catch and now it’s about the adventure, being with friends and family, and most of all enjoying what life has to offer us. Thank you!

[@alexredhat3476]

Lack the words to describe this masterpiece. You guys are incredible.

[@sergeanthetfield3001]

Its so awesome what KZbin has to offer. This is so high quality, Im almost ashmed that Im watching this for free. 15 years ago you would have to buy this on DVD for like 25 bucks.

[@bobnelson8997]

What a great video! You guys keep getting better and better. We all appreciate the hard work you put into all of your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@ReeleKool]

Ive got such a Moronic smile of satisfaction all over my face watching this....Thank you all...

[@StaibVibe]

How are the boys not at 100k subs yet?? Y'all have been killing it this year and are always getting played and shared by my crew before we go on our own mini adventures. Keep up the great work!

[@larryhudgins6988]

Your best work to date. Thanks for not showing all the excessive drinking yall are known for and for not saying "Let's Go" every time you caught a fish.

[@SquadFishing]

You guys are unbelievable, love the information and education you get from watching your videos, I'm heading back to Alaska in late August for the Coho run

[@littlegoobie]

what area do you go to?

[@matt_wickizer]

The poem was a perfect conclusion to this epic film!

[@FishTales-Reel-Life-Adventure]

Even though it is unlikely I'll ever make a trip like this y'all made such a great production of your trip that I feel like I was there with you!

[@bombadil776]

I've watched this video multiple times and I always look forward to that reading of the poem at the end.

[@chadwatterson6072]

That poem…. I’ve spent over 100 days in Alaska, and I still can’t get enough.

One of the greatest film about fishing, friendship, kindness i've ever seen, guys! Beautiful Alaska. Hello from Russia.

[@Mr880881]

Top 5 out of at least 1,000 hunting and fishing episodes I have watched. Much fun and well done.

[@danielbuller5342]

Fished the Kenai river last year in July, flew in from Louisiana. The purity of the scenery alone is more then enough to get me going back every other year

[@ethanadarden]

Poem is from Robert Service. And like the poem, this video is special. It speaks to you in some kind of way that's difficult to explain. Well done. Looking forward to the next.

[@brianazmy3156]

My first Alaska trip was for artic warfare school during my years in the 82nd Airborne and also my next vacation the following summer. Very special place with memories I won't forget. Great video and thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@lenra.b]

All I can say is, you are all blessed because you are able to do what you love to do (FISHING) and still carry on with your everyday life. I just can’t do that, I have to work just to make ends meet, no time for fishing/camping etc. and no friends that are helpful. I really envy you fellas. Godspeed 🍻

[@lancasterro]

Thanks! This was just perfect!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thank you for the donation my friend! Check out our Alaska Pt. 2 if you haven’t already 👊🏻

[@dannyb6968]

For me it's been a while since viewing this channel. I remember when you started this channel, fishing with your dad in the Smokie mountains, I followed you on several trips, Wilson creek, The Davidson, Cherokee, and many others. This Alaskan fishing trip was the most amazing footage and great production I've seen in a You Tube Video. Thank you so much for sharing. I am hoping to get to follow you to Alaska, It's on my hit list for sure.

[@Tan_AK]

Just moved to alaska this week for this exact reason, it’s a giant play ground. So excited for what’s to come. Finishing my commercial pilot license out here this year and flying/hunting and fishing will be what my life is made of.

[@ph1shstyx]

I spent a week up in the coopers landing/soldotna area in august for my dad's 70th year celebration, 2 days of sockeye for the freezers, but the best day we had, we were walk wading for Dolly's upstream of coopers landing. An absolute trip of a lifetime which included bringing home 30lbs of salmon for the freezer, 2, 7+lb rainbow trout, and what felt like 20 dolly's between the spawning sockeye's (and getting to see some absolute units of kings in gin clear water). I cannot recommend it enough.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Wow! That was absolutely amazing mate. The scenery, the fishing, the video production. Hands down your best film yet. You just keep going from strength to strength. Keep it up mate. Oh, and that poem at the end. What a way to end the film.

[@dsmith2601]

Fantastic video and what a week of fishing! For those interested, not sure if it’s already been mentioned but the poem, so beautifully recited, is “The Spell of the Yukon” by Robert Service. Cheers!

[@caangler6698]

Was just in Alaska this past July as well fishing on the peninsula. there is nothing quite like the fly fishing experience on planet earth. You guys are the best.

[@kavoro8951]

The quality of all of the videos on this channel is other worldly.

[@GCF-Media]

The most beautiful film I've ever watched.

[@micahgrim2597]

I just started fly fishing this past month. I stumbled on this video, arguably the best outdoor video I have ever seen. I was glued to the end. Beautifully done. That’s amazing fellas. Wow.

coming from someone who has lived in Alaska all their life, you could not have portrayed it any better.

[@peterjacob7349]

Excellent Production! I have been to All Alaska Outdoors several times with my first trip in 2005. Planning another trip this summer with several newbies, (Guys who have never been to Alaska). I wouldnt think of any other lodge to visit as Bob has designed an experience which is unmatched if you want to get a taste of the real Alaska and all it has to offer. It is by far the best lodge in Alaska and the options to fish Alaskan waters is extensive. So many of the places you fished and filmed are very familiar. Can't wait to return in July!.
