I say this from the bottom of my heart my dude. I have never felt more relaxed watching a beautifully orchestrarted video with increadible cinematics. You truly have a rare talent and personality You my friend, are increadible.
Love your wonderful efforts to make shows for us. My husband and I are older and I have end stage kidney disease but you are the one we watch quite a bit as it takes our mind off everyday life and draws us into your fishing. Keep up the great fishing Son. ❤
As the average Joe angler, I can honestly say I felt every single moment of tension when the big one was on the line. Felt like I was behind the reel. Thanks for the video!
Leif.. I have been watching your videos for two weeks now. They bring me such peace. It has also inspired me to get back out trout fishing & get outside more in general. Keep doing your thing, the world needs more people like yourself!
I got to give that to him too. He really seems to love this and everyone’s support. I started watching because it’s local but I stayed because he’s good and to support what he’s doing.
NW fishing secrets is now one of my new fav fishing youtubers. The personal warmth and honesty with which he presents his youtubes has touched my life in a way that really hits home and close to the heart . The videos are also very educational for an outdoorsman like myself and allow you to learn in a family kind of feeling way . I hope he has some children so there can be more peeps like him in the world rockin' the outdoors . I hope I cross his path someday out there . How about considering a public invite expedition some day so we can all enjoy your fun loving outdoor oriented company on a personal level . Once or twice a year would be really cool . God bless this man and his life . Thanks so much for being on here outdoors bro !!!
Bro I’ve got to the point where I’m rewatching your videos. And this one specifically. For some reason it is by far my favorite one. I’m so thankful I found your channel. And you have some awesome subscribers. The comment section is always clean and respectful and very uplifting. I hope you find major success in being a RUclips fisherman. Fish on! Bobber down baby!
I follow a lot of anglers and I just recently stumbled upon this hidden gem of a content creator. You make me feel like im with ya! Thank you for educating and bringing a positive attitude with every vid🤙🎯
@@NWFishingSecrets I was just in the Selkirk Mountains today which is basically my backyard lol. I ain't gonna lie though, I forgot my bell peppers, onion, and garlic so I had one of the most plain-looking meals ever on my channel so far. 😂😂😂😂 The trout was delicious though. 🤣
i've been searching this type of videos very long time! And im so happy i found it! I like this hiking, catch fish and cook, also camping with tent. Thank You!
I just found your channel today, and I’m already in love with the content! I am new to fishing here and appreciate your patient explanations and your overall vibe man!!! I have been hesitate to fish since I’m so new, and I know how serious people are out there. I Don’t want to make any serious mistakes. But after watching your vids I feel more confident and I’m gonna try!! Thank you!! See ya out there!!
Thank you, your comment really meant a lot to me. Not just that you enjoy the videos, but that they make fishing more approachable to new fishermen & ladies. You're right, there are a lot of serious people out there, especially during Salmon season, but there are also lots of friendly helpful folk out there who will gladly show you how to fish :) I still learn something every time I go out 👍 🎣
I am watching your video from Japan. I like fishing. Your video beautifully depicts the fun of fishing and the beauty of nature. I can't speak any foreign languages, but I like your videos.
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoy my videos! Being in nature is my favorite thing in the world. Catching fish is a bonus 🎣 Greetings to Japan from Seattle!
When my dad was alive a year ago, I had sent him a couple of your videos when he was at work. We loved fishing and we loved backpacking. Putting those two together was even better. Thanks for making such videos. I miss you dad
I haven't been fishing since I was a kid with my dad. Wanted to get back into it now as an adult and found your channel. Thanks for all the info!! Heading out today to go trout fishing here in Washington 🙂
I really am having a hard time understanding why your channel hasn’t gotten up to a silver play button yet, when other channels don’t even deserve it. As always loved the video, entertaining, and informative. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for that Sturgeon video.👏👏👏
Leif videos are sweet me and my family love to come to Washington for vacations.Me and my son found your channel last year.It got us in to fishing together in some bad times.We all know how some states handle things we are one of them.aAnd we want to say thank you,for helping our relationship get us closer together. And we're doing our part of picking up others trash.MAKE MORE VIDEOS AND FISH ON.
Wonderful content! Please do more hiking trips I truly love these. I'm not sure if you're familiar with fishermans life but this gives me the same vibes and I truly love watching his channel. Hope to see more!
Love the content. With fly fishing, one of the best tips I got when I was starting was keep your rod tip at 11 and 1 with your fore and back casts. Load the tip, or let the weight of your line bend the top of the rod on your back cast and you’ll have a must easier time getting a good line presentation.
The first episode that was recommended to me and got hooked ever since. Amazing what nature has to offer, beautiful forests, mountain lakes and abundant fish.
Iv lived in Washington for all 29 years of my life. The fishing is great here. Iv been in many hikes to probably more than 100 lakes and this guy still goes to places iv never heard of.
My guy should have his own show on television. He is a blessing to people who live in the city with no time to go outdoor that loves adventure like this.. At least he can show us how beautiful nature can be if we leave it alone
The quality of your videos has been going up and up and up. Awesome filming, awesome editing, beautiful area, TANK trout. All around great video, Leif! Keep em up. Super inspirational!
Fly fishing tip: How do you choose a tippet? Basic info is that big hook=thicker tippet And Small hook=smaller tippet Bit more advanced info is that if you have 12 size hook divide it by 3 or 4 (12/4=3 ; 12/3=4) and there is your tippet size. For good info on this subject Mad river outfitters is the best channel on RUclips Edit: right tippet size is extremely important
That triumphant laugh when you bagged the trout had me DYING when it started to flop around again and then turned into panic laughing. Im still cracking up 🤣🤣🤣
When fly fishing it’s important to take your time on your backcast, reach your arm back farther and hesitate before you bring your arm back forward. When bringing your arm forward you are going to want to point at the destination you want your fly to go to and follow through to that point. Love your videos! Ps. Make sure not to have too much line out.
if you have that line pile up, strip that pile out where you have the line straight out in front of you, then when you cast it wont S behind you. you just need to pull the pile out, itll make it easier to form a tight loop.nice content
Man I’m so glad I found this channel, im new to it but it’s so relaxing and love how he brings up RUclipsrs I love watching like Mav and Fisherman’s life. Keep it up!
Friggin just amazing videos...love doing what u do for a living and when one doesn't get to experience it very much or at all it is just a treat to be able to come along with u...thanx brother..keep em comin. 👍
Just came across your channel and the contents you have and the effort you seem to have put is fascinating. Love from Nepal PS: I subscribed your channel instantly
I’ve been looking around for a channel that really fit my exact interests . I couldn’t find anything. Until I found this page. Every bit of the content is great. Love the backpacking and cook/eats style. Great work subbed
Right at the end of every cast of most casts when fly fishing to release the remaining line you have that's off the reel as you complete the last cast flick the rod a bit harder abd let the line run through your hand
Love seeing you catch that little rainbow on the fly. Very few things I love than hearing that sound of a fly line getting ripped off the water surface and coming tight!
So when you’re out like this, do you turn your boots upside down to avoid moisture from the dew point getting inside? My dad taught me that when I was a kid. Also, on glaciers do not eat the ice, there’s a fungus that grows on it. When you walk across it the ice will turn orangy red
Michael Holthaus thanks for the tips bro, I’ll keep it in mind if I ever go to a glacier. Nothing wrong with sharing knowledge that’s passed down from your Father. I learned a lot from mine
Me finding your channel was completely on accident. But is one of the most peaceful transpiring entertainment that I have seen in many many years. Peace to you my friend would love to go along sometime
This guy goes above n beyond with the camera angles
thanks man 😂

I say this from the bottom of my heart my dude. I have never felt more relaxed watching a beautifully orchestrarted video with increadible cinematics. You truly have a rare talent and personality You my friend, are increadible.
His videos are both relaxing and educational.
His laugh when he caught that trout was amazing you could tell how stoked he was to catch that fish
DC TV

He does it every time and it’s real,not contrived.
Who else loves this guys laugh it can’t just be me 😂
Right? 😂He's got a really good sense of humor too.

Maniacal. Its great and its the reason I subscribed, lolol. Seriously, that's a beautiful place. Nice place to social distance.

Finally some that actually knows how to set up a true slip bobber. Nice
The perfect slip bobber setup is just 🤤 🔥 🎣

Just stop for a minute and watch this man and try to tell me he doesn’t look and sound like Chris Pratt
Yes you are right he does look like Chris Pratt. He also looks like Jon Lesterthe picture that used to play for the red Sox LOL!!!
*pitcher
James Mason 😂
@@NWFishingSecrets The singer? We just disagree! Great song!
The laugh too13:09
I like how almost every comment has a heart on it. Your a very good guy
Haha thank you man. I just really appreciate the community part of this channel. I mean it when I say I have the best subscribers.
I got to give that to him too. He really seems to love this and everyone’s support. I started watching because it’s local but I stayed because he’s good and to support what he’s doing.
The pure joy in his laugh when he caught that first big trout made me so happy.
Me too ^_^. He's great! At age 67 it's much more fun watching him fish than doing it myself.
He’s the real deal! Not trying to be a showman, just natural…so great to watch.

Thank you!! I've definitely considered I might be making mistakes with the hardware as well! Simple formula to follow - I like it!
What an awesome fight!!! LOL. "Guys he is the size of a salmon" "pop, pop"
Looks like the first little trout you caught is a little westslope cutthroat trout. I love your vid's man keep making awesome ones!!!
Thanks man! That confirms my suspicion on that little guy! He was so beautiful 😍 🎣
These mountain videos are simply the best I've watched them all over and over haha keep up the awesome work man!
4 days camping, 1 month editing. This video was perfect! Greetings from Bulgaria!

Yessir. I learned with my Dad and I struggled with letting the fly come all the way back before bringing it forward.
Yes, and also you want a stiffer wrist, very important, create power from the elbow movement of 10 to 2 position like on a clock.
22:50 was the most relaxing video I have ever witnessed
All your fishing spots are like heaven on earth!
The fight with the big trout in that beatiful scenery was awesome. A most enjoyable video as always. Congratulations.
That was bigfoot crap!! Heads up.
Nice in them mountains, 👍🌲🎣🎣

I’ve been looking around for a channel that really fit my exact interests . I couldn’t find anything. Until I found this page. Every bit of the content is great. Love the backpacking and cook/eats style. Great work subbed
hey i thought i was the only one with that pole
Take care of it it is a nice one
Right at the end of every cast of most casts when fly fishing to release the remaining line you have that's off the reel as you complete the last cast flick the rod a bit harder abd let the line run through your hand
Love seeing you catch that little rainbow on the fly. Very few things I love than hearing that sound of a fly line getting ripped off the water surface and coming tight!
I know this video is 3 years old but watching you is nice and enjoyable, and these hikes is the dream to do whit my dad
So when you’re out like this, do you turn your boots upside down to avoid moisture from the dew point getting inside? My dad taught me that when I was a kid. Also, on glaciers do not eat the ice, there’s a fungus that grows on it. When you walk across it the ice will turn orangy red
There are no glaciers in this video. It's just snow.
Jordan Jansen yes, I know but it’s a bit of knowledge I picked up from my father.
Michael Holthaus thanks for the tips bro, I’ll keep it in mind if I ever go to a glacier. Nothing wrong with sharing knowledge that’s passed down from your Father. I learned a lot from mine
I really liked the video that I want to like more than one time
Haha thank you!
Tomorrow I’m going fishing to catch a trout to eat with my family so I might cook it like you did in this vid thank u so much love vids
Good luck man! should be delicious! 🤤 🐟
And, how it was?
LOVE THIS GUY HAHAH . not boring but full of entertainment
i love that half water half nature shot of the first fish fight no ytber has ever done that i dont thin well done sir!!!
Alternative title idea: Chris Pratt takes a break to enjoy life in the mountains. Btw my guy, love what you're doing. This is really good content.
Steven Sukley haha thanks man 😂
Awesome fishing bro this is insane I love the trout fishes even the one that u did with your friend in Washington it was amazing
Thanks man! Totally agree, something amazing about trout fishing 🔥 🎣
Yes you did what i recommended!
😂 I had to! Enjoy the vid 🎣
NW Fishing Secrets what did he recommend you do?? Great Video 👍👍
Nehemiah Q he recommended to eat the trout tail later around the end of the video
Absolutely beautiful scenery and that was one slab of a freaking fish. Keep the videos coming
man, watching you caught that fish just made me satisfied for some reason
26:51 I love this guy he’s like a big kid 😂
I dont think i have ever seen a mountain trout that fat in Washington state unbelievable great catch
That mushroom looks like a brain mushroom, I’d need to see the base/under of the shroom to tell but it’s deadly so don’t eat it!! xd
Me finding your channel was completely on accident. But is one of the most peaceful transpiring entertainment that I have seen in many many years. Peace to you my friend would love to go along sometime
There are fishing and camping RUclipsrs that I for some reason dont like but 2 videos of this guy earned my sub, I like your vibes and stuff :)
