  • I'm truck camping in Idaho and fly fishing several amazing streams over the next 10 days of my 9-week truck camping road trip thru Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
    I started my 9 week road trip on July 31, 2022, and spent roughly 3 weeks in WY, ID and MT. Check out all the videos from this trip in the playlist linked below:

    Hey Drew, every time I watch your videos I get a mix of joy and extreme jealousy, as well as a fear that these remote places you are in won't be the same when I can finally go explore them. I am going into my senior year of college in Salt Lake City as a ballet and environmental studies double major, so I have a long road ahead of me before I can be taking such amazing trips as you. I still manage to get in a lot of fishing time, I just really want to get off the beaten path and see as much wilderness as I can before climate change can seriously alter them or the beautiful fish they hold. Nevertheless, thank you for your simple yet amazing videos. Tight lines, and I would love to fish with you one day.

    • @jillsmith1134
      @jillsmith1134 Год назад +3

      Don’t worry. These places will be here way after you are gone. The environmentalists will have banned you from places like this in 10 15 years so you better go when you get the chance.

    I've watched dozens of your videos... and frankly I'm a bit disapointed. I'm disapointed in myself for not getting out more. I live here in Boise, and when I watch how easy you make it look, even in small pocket water, I want to throw my iPad across the room, grab my rod & gear, jump in my Jeep and disappear for a week or two. But, my lovely wife might get the wrong idea. I'd better explain it to her first, or try... Thanks Drew!

    Really enjoy this channel. Started fly fishing seriously this past summer. I relocated to Montana for the summer and fished in the Missoula area and over the border in Idaho in the Clearwater drainage. The fishing in Idaho was awesome. It would be cool if you could identify generally, the river drainage you are fishing without giving up the specific location. Keep fishing Drew! I am in the mid-Atlantic and have to get my trout fix on RUclips until I got back to Montana next summer .

These guys would work as fire-fighters for the USFS during summers and a couple of times came back for fall classes with skin all tainted by the stuff, having been doused by it during close action with fires.

    Hi Drew, I very much like you're way of living and your way of flyfishing. After retirement, next year July I plan a worldtour. To start in Europe, via US/Canada, Patagonia, Mongolia and New Zealand. However, I just wonder: don't you get bored to fish all those years like you're doing? I once made a 4 weeks trip and was glad to be back home again..
    By the way: might your cooler fall out for whatever reason: cool your beer in the stream. I used to do that.

    Plus, it's nice to crack one open under cover instead of being stuck in the back of the truck....

Love that your adding more camping, cooking, wildlife shots to go with the fishing! One question, are you using a mic w your gopro? Your audio is good and I can't seem to get that w just a gopro without boosting it in post. Anyways take care, c you on the next one!
