BIKE TO FLY | 9 Days of Bikepacking and Fly Fishing Through Patagonia

About two years ago, my friend Miles Sebald decided to travel up to Dead Horse, Alaska, with his bike and ride south in one push to the opposite side of the world in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Erika and I made plans to meet up with Miles when he reached Patagonia, where we biked and fished with him for 9 days.

Now THIS is quality content. Most youtubers should take notes. Worth every minute of my life spent watching it. Thank you guys. Mucho inspiration.

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Wow, thanks for such kind words and thanks for following along! Cheers!

[@sonnygrand6578]

Will! Holy shit this was masterful film making and story telling! Bravo man! Unbelievable doc! So so talented. I’m now thinking bigger for my fly fishing adventures!

[@PhelpsontheFly]

That is exactly my goal with these films. Makes me very happy to hear that it inspired you. Thanks for following along!

[@melindabaer2534]

No need to cuz.. it's a great watch.

[@joshuawilliams1893]

Bravo to this guy. He is living a freeing life. After working my ass off in an office and buying into the "American Dream". I would love to just sell all and be nomadic. Be able to see all of the wonderful places like this. Good on him for getting it done. BTW this was a badass little film and truly enjoyed watching it.

[@user-bb8tz2kq7y]

Just do it 👍👍🚴

I see the landscapes of my province, Chubut, and it moves me. I am from Epuyén, and this summer I saw them on the road near El Bolsón! I'm glad you enjoy this land as much as we do.
You still have the Beer Trail pending, from Bariloche to El Maitén through dirt roads and countryside.

I saw what you did. Your friends went to different places. It was beautiful and encouraging. I want to ride my bike again. Thank you, brother.🙏🙏🙏💓💖🚵💤🚴💨

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Great film Will . Two of my three passions cycling fishing and the other being motorcycling. All three can get you away from the city and breathing fresh air. Even here in the UK you don't need to travel far to achieve that.

[@stevep5987]

I’m my opinion your best fly film yet was epic 👍

[@timkern177]

Very enjoyable film!

Amazing documentary, both in your friend’s journey and your trip together. Found your channel through a mutual interest in biking and fishing. I haven’t gotten the nerve up to try bikepacking yet, but this may have been just the inspiration I needed.
