Couldn’t Stop Catching 20+ Inch Bull Trout | Backpacking Fly Fishing

- In this adventure, we’re backpacking deep into the wilderness, exploring untouched waters in search of bull trout and cutthroat. The storms were intense, but that didn’t stop us from landing some incredible fish. Join us as we navigate the unknown and experience some of the best fly fishing the backcountry has to offer. This trip was one for the books! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more wild adventures.
You won’t believe the insane dry fly eats we get on this video. We even had a bull trout eat a mouse fly! One of the most insane fly fishing moments of my life… we caught the majority of our fish on streamers. If you’d like to see what streamers I used I’ll be making a best streamers for bull trout video in the future! Also, my favorite flies to fish in the summer for cutthroat trout. We almost got stuck in the rock slide on the way out of the river and had a huge storm push up off.

Thanks for taking us along on this beautiful river adventure!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful place to go fishing and kudos to you guys for helping someone on the road! You guys are awesome!
Thanks so much! It’s a great feeling to help others out, we were happy to be there for them.
You know what first caught my attention. You didn't wear all the fishing garb, boots, vest, boxes of fly's, etc, etc, etc. You get the point. You kept it simple. Pants, shirt, fly rod and net. You still caught tons of great trout. You were like young boys out there just having fun and not competing with getting the larger trout. Keep it fun, one fly fisherman to another. Tight lines. Your youth and energy to hike such distances is incredible.
Man, I love this comment! Thanks so much for noticing and we are just two dudes that love to explore the unknown and catch big fish 🎣 appreciate you!
Great video... perfect stream and weather conditions. Caught my first (and biggest) bull on a prime upper Idaho stream (pre-Covid). Love the big Cutts as a bonus! Keep the videos coming.
Thanks so much! That is awesome, can’t beat the big cutts. 👏
Dang I had a great time just watching you guys fish and its great to help people in need I do it all the time even if it takes time away from fishing thank you
Absolutely!! Thanks so much for your kind words 🙌
This was so enjoyable and atmospheric my friend! Beautiful 👌👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Man keep these bull trout videos coming, so awesome!!
Thanks so much!!
Great video, is this Idaho?
Looks like you guys had a fantastic trip!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
It was! Appreciate your support
Insane intro man! You did the day justice!
Thanks brother! 🤞
What a beautiful location with absolutely stunning Trout, they really are in phenomenal shape and condition, you guys are so lucky, I live in SCOTLAND 🏴 and we have great fishing too, great content guys 🔥🔥👌🏽🎣
Thanks so much!! Man really appreciate the support from 🏴 tight lines
Badass trip fellas. Fun times!
Thanks so much!!
You do a good job of not name dropping places. I fish the same places you have uploaded and have been fishing them for years. They are awesome fisheries, but they already get enough pressure. It could be a slippery slope if word gets out where these places are, especially with people getting very close to name dropping in the comments.
Im not trying to throw shade, youre videos are awesome, just saying it can be a very slippery slope.
I keep a close eye on the comments to ensure no one name drops locations (though it rarely happens). I completely agree and understand- I don’t share the state or specific spots in my videos. I just want to show how cool fly fishing can be; it’s up to you to discover your own favorite places.
Great video! Wonderful to watch and enjoy.
Thanks so much!!
Love the videos guys, damn good stuff! I also love how much more careful you’re being with showing where you are. You know how special these spots are, good on you 👍🏼
We keep these spots secret to preserve their beauty, but we still showcase how amazing fly fishing is and the incredible experiences waiting out there for those who seek them.
Absolutely 👌🙌
They’re in the river
Killer video! Looks like a good time up there 🔥
Thanks so much!! Appreciate it 🤜
Unreal man! Incredible video 😤
Appreciate it!
Great video guys. Catching Bullies late summer in cold small streams is one of my favorite past times. Pretty sure I know that neck of the woods.
That’s awesome! Man it’s hard to beat… 👏
Awesome video you guys. You guys are tearing it up out there 🎣😎
Thanks so much!! 🙌
Nice, looks like a blast!
It sure was! Thanks so much
Where is this or what state is it in?
Definitely west coast, I’m thinking California. Great video, really enjoyed it, be safe.
Thanks so much! Appreciate your kind words.
Good job fishing fish friend 😮
The mouse eat during the day! Sick!
Thanks so much!! It was awesome!
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hell yeahhhh!! Can't wait till I find some 20+ bulls!!!!! Caught 3 smaller ones this weekend!
Good luck man!!
Did a 3 weeks trip last summer in Alberta. Was hoping to get some bulltrouts... No luck😢
But lots of cutties! Next year!!! Taking a month! Hope to get lucky!
Keep up your great videos!!!!❣️
That’s awesome! I think this next year I’m gonna make a big trip to Canada as well 😄 super excited!!
That strip set at 17:50 or so was a thing of beauty…
Thanks so much!
good stuff
Thank you!!
Awesome video!
Thanks Jordan!!
Wow. Nice fish. Must of been so fun. I would of been on cloud 9 for weeks w a day like that. Congrats
Thanks so much!! I definitely was 🙌
Would love to see a video on your equipment or a run down of it in your videos! New subscriber! Keep up the great work! Looking to get myself a streamer setup as well! 🙌🏽
I’ll absolutely consider that this fall/winter! 🙌 thanks so much for your support
Thought the same. What you're using for flies as well in the commentary.
I'm liking the video! Ha! First time catching your channel. Just subbed. North of Albany NY here, just got into Vermont this past weekend to target some brook trout.
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for your support 🙌
Awesome content. Subscription added. Keep it up guys.
Thanks so much!!
At 12:36 you can barely just see a fish swim by just in the left side of that log, did u happen to fish there at all?
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR CHANEL...
Thanks so much!!
Man! I kinda want to move to idaho! 😄
So jealous man just moving west again I need to make it north to do it and do my research
Awesome man!
Sick video! What pack is the orange one?
It's not the middle fork of the snake river, the river of no return...so what river is it?
Just found my new favorite fly guy on RUclips lol
Dude thanks so much!!
Nice job on the video I enjoyed watching. What tippet material did you use? Thanks
Cortland is the absolute best! Highly recommend using there tippet, haven’t found anything better!
Great job on the videos. I’m not asking about your exact location but what state are you fishing in? Also you made a comment about your 5x tippet being the strongest. I’ve had some issue with 5x and 6x floral carbon do you have a recommendation on Tippet material that you prefer and that you consider stronger than other tippet material that’s on the market. Thanks I enjoy watching you young men enjoy fly fishing
Thanks so much for your support! Cortland hands down makes the best tippet, without a doubt! I’d give them a fish 🤌🏼 you won’t be disappointed
Well if it's Washington or Oregon, it's gotta be the East side! The terrain looks more like Idaho to me, and if it is there are a ton of places that look exactly like this...They can all be great fishing! So even if he told you the state, you'd have Alot of places to try! 😅
Such beautiful fish but now, I think you are just rubbing it in. LOL! I wish I was up there now. Due to circumstances I cant get to the Idaho Backcountry for another two weeks. I'm hoping there are still a few Bulls around.
Hope this helped get you more excited about your upcoming trip! I’m sure you’ll do great, tight lines 🙌🎣
Was this a recent trip? I want to plan a fishing trip like this but don’t know the best time to go. It’s a little different from fishing Louisiana where I am 😂
This is also some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve seen
Thanks Paul!
Best time is next year late July, early August
@@FireflyFishing awesome thanks for the info. Want to bring my son and maybe a few others. Just found you on RUclips and Instagram. That video was great.
What size fly rod line, tipped?😊
I’m using an 8wt, cortland sink tip line, and 0x tippet
Nice video and good fish. But you're right, no need to take them out.
You got that right! Thank you! 🙌
I have caught several bull trout, but never on a dry fly. Must be in Idaho.
We were very fortunate to have the opportunity 🙌
Possibly eastern oregon as well??
Are you in the Bob?
Is this public land, like in a national forest?
Hey, seven bull or two bull trout is still a good day I was out last week flyfishing at a very far 2 Hour Dr. and altogether I caught 23 trouts some rainbows and some cutthroat
That’s awesome!!
Top water bull trout is crazy
Dude it was awesome!!
Hey Grant...great vids. Q? I'm in the market for a new waterproof daybag... what is the brand of the one Noah is wearing and is it a recomendation?
Backcountry skinz makes an incredible waterproof pack. Highly recommend them and more affordable than other brands!

where is the nice camera with the higher resolution? 2160 4k??
Video should’ve been uploaded in 4k!
Got out too early this year for the bulls... June. But caught enormous sums of cuttys during that time. I'd love to know more about how and where you hunt those bulls. It's a dream of mine!
Cuttys are so much fun too! Have a video coming out next week or the following where I catch a bunch of cutties!!
Great video. Question. Do you pause on dry fly hooksets, and if so, how long?
We have a decent tailwater trout fishery north of Atlanta, with stocked rainbows and wild browns, and i really want to improve my dry fly skills. I am a very good fly caster, and can induce rises and hits, but i miss too many sets.
I think there are two issues for me.
1. The correct pause
2. The direction of my set
Any tips would be appreciated!
Give a one Mississippi in your head before setting the hook! If you are feeding the line downstream and get an eat, just slowly lift your rod as if you’re setting the hook like you’re swinging a softhackle.
What state this in?
I know they are from Idaho, but not sure if this is Idaho.
@@timb8970 I have a feeling this is in Washington looks like my home waters
If you wanna chat h some truest “huge” cuttys go to grebe lake it’s insane every cast your catching these like 20 inch west slope cutttys and even the occasional Little grayling but if you hike to ice lake there are some pretty giant grayling around 14-16 inches
I’ve actually fished there!! Super fun place! 😄👍
what state is this?
They’re from Idaho, i think. But not necessarily where this is.
Made it about :20 into the fishing at the beginning. 2 "Let's gooooo"'s and 3 "Dude!"'s ....and I'm out.
Appreciate the feedback 👍
Dude how do you find these streams loaded with bulls?!? I was just up there for 10 days and only caught one. And I fished several tribs, and only caught the one in the main stem salmon
I was very fortunate… timing is everything! Trust me, you haven’t seen the videos where I’m not catching fish 😅
Those bulls aren’t even that big. (my biggest bull is 14in and im jealous)
😂 thanks so much!!
BC?
I'm confused...you didn't catch a single bull trout over 20-inches. Not even close. What's with the misleading video title?
14 is the new 20, 17 is the new 23.
Common core math
5:09 idk bruh that kinda looks like a 20 incher to me😅
Lighten up. They were fishing. Who cares. 18” 20” 9’ it’s a day in heaven doing not work things.
Should be focused on the excessive use of “let’s gooooo”

Pretty sure that lil feller at 9:40 or so was 20”. If not, it was close enough for who gives a shit about a troll comment. Dude probably only fishes those catch & keep, $2 an inch stocker ponds. GTFOH
If you are by Priest Lake, let me tell you that it is CLOSED WATERS, if that's where I think it is! READ THE REGS!
Pretty nice Dolly Varden Char. You should know their real name.
Absolutely!! Appreciate it
Not their name. Dolly Varden migrate to and from the ocean. That's like calling a rainbow a steelhead or a kokanee a sockeye
You guys are effing Nerds…. Scrolled through half of this and didn’t see a fish over 16 inches.
Effing nerds 🤓
Not all too Informed but bull trout are extremely endangered no? Wouldn't it be smart to not target these fish despite the area or it's regulations? Still an awesome video. I just care a lot about our trout... lmao
You’re legally allowed to target them, where I was fishing. They are my favorite trout to target and I stop going after them this time of year to make sure to avoid the spawn! 🙌
Technically there's no such thing as a "Bull Trout". They are Dolly Varden Char and far from endangered.
It's only arrogant humans who put fake labels on things and call it rare.
Every one should take a moment to check your facts before making comments that are baseless.
Don't let my RUclips persona fool you because in real life I am an Ecologist and am one of the people who gets to name things.
@@MikkellTheImmortalthere’s a difference in Dolly Varden and bull trout look it up
@@evanhooper2265the type name for dolly vardon is actually from the now extinct “bull trout” population in the mccloud river in california.
Useless unless you name the area roughly.
Dudes. Selling out a fishery for likes and views ain’t a good strategy in the long run. 90% of comments are positive, because guys are learning when and where to go.
I for one found the hole on video you took down (bulls on dries) and will probably be hitting that before you get there next year since those fish were definitely educated. That times 100x isn’t a good thing…
Dude. How is he selling out lol? Didn’t mention anything about the spot 🤣
If he’s blowing the spot, drop the coordinates. It wouldn’t matter, right? Because he blew the spot.
Have no idea where this is and they never said a thing other then talking Fishing.. if there was another Video it looks like you used it for yourself but complain that others will Figure it out you are a Hypocrite.🤣🤣
@@markvanderstelt8999 Not worried about specific spot here (they are bad about it in other vids). It's Bull trout. They are a uniquely idaho thing that don't get pressure (and can't take much) in a state that gets overrun in various rivers. With videos like this, it's a matter of time, just look at the comments. Look at bucknasty browns and the O.
No I'm not posting the coordinates to the places, but they are way easier to find than you think. I easily identified 6 new places this year on his videos alone, many others that I fish already. Google wins in this scenario, these guys think they do (but don't really), and the guys that have been doing this for a while pay the price for a them to get the likes/clicks/etc they think will be a full time thing. Selling out it subtle.
They aren't even willing to say what state their in let alone "selling out for likes"! Lol and the reason there are 90% positive comments is simply because the majority of us aren't here to talk trash or make bs accusations to make ourselves feel better at the end of the day! Most of us are here to watch a great video about fly fishing. U should give it a try
What state was this or Canada?
Awesome!
@@denniskwong9458 thanks so much!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
