my dad logged there in the 1950s, I flew in there and drift fished the upper dean in 1969

Rivers are not dying of poor management. Everything on this planet is dying because of who we are, and how we go about our life's. Sure them Skagit anglers mostly driving huge trucks, wearing gear which when you launder deposits plastic particles in all of us.. including steelhead. You get the picture. It's an illusion to believe you can manage an environment while abusive care takes( all of us) are rampant. Putting a hook into another beings mouth to enjoy the fight is one of the most abusive undertakings imaginable. I used to flyfish for sea run cutthroats from the beach with a fly rig and made a killing. And then one day after I hooked a fish I saw this other trout follow my catch to the beach, acting all concerned about her struggling family member. And something stated to shift in me and I gave it all up. You can't call yourself a conservationist and pretend hooking fish in the mouth for sport is tolerable. You really want to make a difference? Leave them fish alone😮

Love it.

Really good stuff here! Thanks for this.

wow, really fires you up to get on your own adventures. Beautifully captured.

Awesome!

Really Incredible editing

Have you ever thought about the negative impact that is guaranteed to happen by xploiting this hyper-fragile ecosystem that has remained as it should because of its geographic intensity and difficulty.....basically to the world....and as i presumed...you guys are finding garbage and the like already in a place ive almost never have seen traces of human impact😢....thanx for not disclosing the names of lakes at least....maybe just say the high sierrA and give the east side a few more years before it becomes overfished and trampled by certain cultures that will endanger and destroy any fish habitat they're given access to.....in a matter months

Two years later fish dying all over the river

Awesome video!

Best place on the planet. Let’s take care of it.

Wow

Not a fisherman but this is dope.

I can’t tell if I’m here for the fishing, or skateboarding.

Solid content

That’s a beautiful catch!

Great feature with Kayla! I love fishing with my pup!

Love this video! Makes me want to jump on a bike and explore new waters!

Is gravette sponsored by orvis?

"The invasives haven't found it yet, but you did" He means tourists lol

Man i always wanted to go fish up there but i can never get anyone to go and im to afraid to go alone lol looks amazing

so very fortunate to be in that EXACT area two summers ago. Spectacular scenery AND GREAT fishing! I "stuck" one of the largest trout I've ever seen on a float trip. As it swam away I was swearing up a storm. 🤣 Humongous Bull.

Don't you know. Now you know. Ehh!

Stunning film. Beautiful fish.

Very nicely done THANK YOU

what a beautiful run.Check out our flies . cheers

Awesome to see a fly fishing film shot on Super 8 mm film. Love the colours. I keep thinking I want to do a short film fishing for cutthroat trout in the summer in the Rockies. So much nostalgia in my mind.

How did we ever catch steelhead on single handed rods? Oh yeah. We learned how to properly cast

If you can’t learn to fly cast properly, no worries. Just get a Spey rod.

As a new WA local and fly fisherman, I did not know this happened and is very sad. Thank you for telling us the story that are unaware.

Well that was before the killed everything in the Klamath River. Its a toxic sewer now. I don't see anyone catching a single fish In the River for Decades. 😢

Nice work on this... feelin the chill fishy vibes!

yikes

Copi!!!!!

That fish looks so beautiful

Makes me want to fish! And the smallie jumping for Drew was insane!! Great job Mike!!

Killer!

Sick shit

Sick vid Copi.

I love fly fishing but my favorite parts of these patagonia fly fishing programs is where the fisherman start to cope with the fact that spey fishing produces very few fish😂. "Trying to catch a bunch of fish is backwards"😂. Happens in every one of these! Again I love fly fishing but I am not going to call conventional fisherman backwards because they dont want to swing around a $4,000 stick in the cold all day and maybe catch a single fish. Thats probably a good thing though becuase steelhead are more likely to die if they are caught on fly gear due to exhaustion anyways. I wish them luck though, but if you are going to fish with a method that is more likely to kill your catch, maybe you should be more supportive of broodstock programs to help put more fish in the river so you arent killing any of the few remaining wild fish as often. Cheers and tight lines!

From the UK -what lovely footage-and what a river; that said, I think we -as the fishers and the people who care most about 'our' rivers'-are too quick to accept blame for reduced numbers; in the UK a madness -like the preservation by law of seals in every worthwhile salmon river estuary-prevails. We need to organise and say-'No-I wont spend money on your permits until you get a grip'. Otherwise-well, casting is quite fun.

Excellent in all ways. More! Please.

More copi vids please

10 of a 10. Awesome video!
