"EL TORO" | A Montana Bull Trout Story (Fly Fishing)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2022
- This time, we trek into Montana's backcountry in search of the elusive Bull Trout. The migration is quickly winding down and fish are few and far in between. Jay, Noah, Nick and Scott pack up the rafts and head into the unknown. Bull Trout are Montana's largest native predator fish species and aggressive hunters. The species has been protected in Montana since 1998 under The Endangered Species Act. Bull Trout are extremely sensitive to change. Variable water temperatures or changes in diet can have a large impact on these fish. There are only a few places left where you can legally target these fish by strict regulations. Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks takes angling for these fish very serious and for good reason. With help from responsible anglers, Montana Biologists can study Bull trout more closely. #keepemwet

So glad I got to stay in the shop and sell stuff to support you guys on this endeavor.😂
we care about you fred!
Fred, you've been awarded the TFP MVP. Congratulations.
True sacrifice
Thanks for the great story. I got to spend a week in and around Thompson falls in the early 90's and hooked up on a 24 in. Bull Trout. Best thing is I got to hook up the same fish twice. he broke off just before I could land him and as soon as I got rig up and the next cast he took the bait and got him landed with my first rig in his mouth. Best day ever.
Absolutely incredible film, was glued to the screen. Educational, fun, suspenseful, peaceful, and the bull trout - Wow! Cheers to all of you - This is a winner for sure! Cheers, T.
As a local who frequents this river a lot Thank You for not disclosing its location. Great edit 🤙🏻
Its those epic days we spend knowing full well how important those fisheries are that humble use .
Amazing video! Really enjoyed it. For sure I will watch again.
Unless you fly fish, people have a hard time grasping the thought of driving for hours then hiking in then rowing or wading for hours or days to catch ONE fish. As the gentleman said, he could’ve went the rest of the trip without catching anything else and still considered the trip a huge success. We all share that same sentiment. It’s not for everyone to understand, which is what makes it all that much more special…
"I love going fishing, if I catch something I consider it a bonus."
I have a hole on my second favorite river. It's 10 wilderness miles in. I hike that and back in a day in hopes of catching one fish the size I caught out of that hole my first time there.
I'm going to my very favorite river tomorrow to hike 12 wilderness miles. Actually, I expect to catch plenty of fish and hook into a couple of tackle breakers.
It's that time of year for me - between spring snow melt and rotten weather at the end of October.
@@MarkRhodesPhD and if you get skunked(hopefully not), it’ll still be an amazing day….
This was a great beginners kit for a great price. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxKRURvLsu9Vvyw7gIuvt8FsApoQNCdz-1 Its given us a huge variety to test out and see what works well and what we like to use. Majority of the flies have stayed together well, but some of the rainbow warriors did unravel after catching a few blue gill. All in all, this was a great kit and are so happy with the purchase and value for money.
Great job! This is trip is on my list for next year! 🎣
Great film y’all! Very well done! Love this fish
This is the first time I have come upon one of your videos, and I am stoked to have found your content. Looked like a great trip!
I caught a 32 inch bully quite a ways upstream from where y'all were back in early August. I caught it on a 10 inch cutty and had 4lb tippit on. still cant believe i was able to land that thing. Definitely the coolest fishing experience of my life.
Always awesome
Awesome footage guys!
Beautiful footage and editing. And sexy in its realism (showing the “good, the bad and the ugly”). Thank you for sharing.
I'm an Albertan living in BC, and I'm absolutely obsessed with null trout, but haven't managed to catch one yet. Thanks for posting this! Great video!
Thanks for wathcing!
Good stuff guys, just found your channel for the first time. Solid edit and production value. Subbed.
Great video. Thank you.
What a GREAT story - Love it! Well done
Appreciate that, thanks for watching.
Siick!
Sweet video guys
Getting to catch fish and support the fish and game guys up there. Awesome stuff guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for watching!
Really great job with this video. Not the usual YT fly fishing video, either. A certain other crew, who are very popular, tried going after bulls and it was a shitshow. I wish I knew about those forms last year, I accidentally caught a couple bulls while ripping streamers for browns on another Montana river. Subscribed, will check out your other vids.
Thanks for watching man!
Great video you guys
Congrats on the nice bull Jay! Great video too! You've really learned how to put together a story within the film.
Thanks duuuuude
Dont know if I wanna punch you guys in the eye or hug you or both..lmao, not many videos can take me back to a time of throwing big plugs for Stripers off of cliffs in the SF Bay Area..there were a few small crews that like this group were the cream of the crop..We were the last generation to see insane fishing...So a few years ago I picked up the flyrod again to chase all the species I lost sleep over...So far a few Stripers on the fly and plenty of trout...but the fire has been lit...my brother just sent me this link...gonna punch him in the eye too lol..Excellent video, one of the best made..Thanks for throwing fuel on the fire
Nice film! Release fish with an open hand, don’t squeeze them and hold onto the tail as they swim away. Doing that removes important slime which is the first layer of the immune system. Glad to see you guys keeping the fish wet
Man I’ve drug a boat down at that launch. It’s TOUGH! Good shit fellas
I’ve worked up there the past 5 summers, I built those stairs haha. Those were awful prior. Love that place
That's cool to hear Jeremiah haha. Thanks for watching!
I’m never going to buy a boat from you guys ….. in slightly used condition.
Excellent video and fish.
Busiest it’s ever been, quietest it’ll ever be. Thanks
I've carried so many fn boats down that trail. I feel your pain guys.
well worth it though!
@@flyprojectusa absolutely. I used to guide that river. I miss those days
Where do you guys get the cards to record? I catch bulls in the Clearwater and Swan River. I don't target it's just by happenstance.
You can apply for one through Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks.
Sweet thanks
Great video, hallo from israel
I know that launch spot- south fork of the flathead right? We stayed at the old diamond R ranch years ago and fished it was amazing. Love the bob Marshall wilderness
What kind of filtering water bottle is that?
its a Grayl Water Purifier. We all had one and it came in clutch. Basically a french press. Highly recommend.
MONTANA! Vodka Clear Water, Bull Trout and Sidearms! Great Video Men!
Middle fork of the flat head
Love the video and the work you guys are doing but holy shit the gun is jarring and unnecessary.
You filmed an impressive amount of federal offenses lol
Let’s pray they get hit like MT wild did
Huh?
Lets go WW Rafting without life jackets, but wear our freedom dispenser for safety. Only in America.
Who goes fishing with a handgun..? God bless America....
When you’re in grizzly county u can never be too safe
@@adamwatson6564 I'm pretty sure bear spray works better wet than a sidearm. Just saying.
@@calvinbeebe3898 my gun has never got wet fishing and would still function perfectly fine even if it did
@@brandenhummel4326 Well if a bear is attacking me, I want my buddy to have bear spray over a pistol. Every time. Pistols are for people. Bear spray (or a shot gun if you actually want to get serious) are for big bears. Right tool for the right job. Oh, and if you care about safety at all, life jackets when running a river that you have never run before.
@@brandenhummel4326 😂No, I am from New Jersey, and mostly just play with my cats.
An entire documentary for one fish? You guys suck
You wanna help natives? Stop stocking invasives. I'm talking to you, dnr.
Just so breath taken the beautiful scenery ✨🏞️ 🌤️🐟
