SHIFTING GEARS: Desert Flyfishing and Bikepacking in Utah
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In October 2021, a group of friends in southern Utah set out on a 58-mile bike-fishing tour with plans to stop at several alpine lakes along the way. But as so often happens with well-laid plans, they went awry. The weather had its own ideas, and by the time they reached the trailhead-at around 11,000 feet-the snow showed no signs of letting up. For the most part, bikes and snow don’t mix.
What does go well with mountain bikes and fly rods, on the other hand, are small desert streams and dusty trails with a sprinkling of sandstone slabs for good measure. When nature throws a wrench into the gears, sometimes you just have to shift them.

Love this video! Makes me want to jump on a bike and explore new waters!
Great video. Inspiring…
Awesome video. As a Canadian living in aus who grew up fly fishing and more recently took up bikepacking. This is goals!
What an epic trip! I need to get a bike!! I was surprised to not see one of those sweet Fat Tire x Tenkara Rod Co rods though! Those creeks looked prefect for it!
Well done and fun video!
Great video, I also do a lot of bikefishing. It's my favorite way to get around. I'm in NW Colorado so maybe we'll cross paths at some point.
Great video!
Can you please tell me what a person on a full suspension bike used to attach bags to the rear chainstays?
I apologize for my bad english.
Nice
I can think of a lot of things that would be better than that! One would be standing waist deep in freezing water throwing a spey at steelhead, another would be hanging ten over the bow of a skiff looking to throw at tailing Reds. Shit i could think of a lot of things I'd rather do than riding a bike catching 6" brooks. But maybe I'm weird? But I guess you find your pleasures right in front of you.
