  • We take a quick break from the Quonset Hut Shop build and head to Delta Clearwater River for a summer day of fishing. Although we didn't catch a fish that we could retain, we had a blast on the water landing these beauties.
    We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
    Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

    Dear Eric and Ariel, I love watching your wonderful videos, they're so comforting in a way, I can't describe. Many will feel some jealousy, seeing you guys living and working under such magnificent conditions, and building a good life. Hopefully, maybe some day we get to see kids, that would be lovely to see them playing around, laughing, feeding the chickens, homeschooling, doing the stuff they do. They would be so happy. Take care of yourself and stay safe.

    Greyling is one of my favorite fish to catch on a dry fly, I'm a guide here in Sweden and i cant help but to giggle and laugh a bit seeing Eric trying to cast a fly.
    Also the first time i have ever seen a telescopic flyrod i might add 🤣

    We had a similar experience on the Clearwater in 1960. The fish only wanted a super-duper lure. I was fishing in a canoe with my dad and brother. We traded poles after 2 fish, as we only had the one lure.
    Thanks for the memories.

    Eric is like me, the water is making me cold and Arielle is walking in the water like a 90 degree day. What a woman. It’s good to take some down time from the hard work to relax and do something fun. I I’ve your videos and the adventures. The graylings are big. As many big graylings there are, they could let you have at least a couple for good measure, right! I love your adventures and will keep watching for more. Bye!!

    WOW! I haven´t been fishing for grayling since I was a small girl...my mouth is watering now. We went out on the river yesterday but the fish were lazy, probably because of the weather. Sunny and warm but a low pressure was on its way. There is a weather alert about severe heavy rain up to 70 mm in a short time where I live, down south is a red alert with even more rain. We may also have heavy thunder so I prepare if the electricity been cut off. Thanks for getting us along on this awesome fishing trip!

We would go fishing and we had to crimp the barbs because we always caught so many. Glad you guys had fun!
