  • In the summer of 2020, Dan left home for his dream roadtrip. Armed with fly fishing and camping equipment, some leftover food from the pantry, and more time than money, he set off to live on the roads of the American West. This first video of the series tells the first leg of the journey from PA to Casper Wyoming, and the Grand Teton area. Enjoy the video, leave us a comment, and follow along over the next few weeks as we share this awesome adventure!

    Everyone has their inadvertent fly fishing catch phrase. Yours is "let''s get 'em back in the water" haha. Love it man, can't wait for the next episode.

    This is my exact trip but in reverse, starting in Alberta, Canada. This summer I planned to drive down through Montana, into Yellowstone, and end my trip in Grand Teton NP. Thanks for the uploads, you are basically planning my trip for me

    Enjoyable. Engaging. Appreciated the just right amount of travel footage. Brought back good memories. Oatmeal with peanut butter and chocolate for dinner. It took me awhile to connect those dots, but, bon appetite!

    What an amazing beginning to the trip. Nice fish!! I took a month long trip from VA to CO with my best friend right after college myself, spent much of the time camping above treeline in Colorado. I think those memories will always be among my favorite. Now I live in CO and can fish in Casper whenever I want. Love Wyoming. I'm excited to make some videos fly fishing this year up there myself. Can't wait for part 2!

    • @BackyardBassin

    • @BackyardBassin
