I call those nice boulders in the stream "old man rocks",a place to sit down and rest...maybe tie on a new rig I'm 70 years old...you have no idea how much I appreciate your energy and exuberance!
The best part of Montana is that no one really wades the skinny water so you have it all to your self. Never came accross a single person in 8 days of wet wading in Montana.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by that? Planning a trip to the bozeman area in July and looking to mostly wade fish. Are you saying most creeks dont get any attention? What is your definition of skinny water?
We will be see ya on Montana wardens soon. They like preforming for the camera like the show cops. Oh, grizzlies I wouldn't worry about. But the dogmen I would definitely. Bear spray will just piss them off.
Just come across your channel I am in the uk so we are out of season at the moment Absolutely brilliant video upload and I hat a beautiful place I have promised my self that I will fish the states soon It’s on the list will carry on and watch the rest of the films all the best and thanks again for sharing
I never tire of seeing your videos showing us all that America is bigger than we think and that our wilderness is ready for business. Thanks for the work you do, always interesting.
Such a great trip. The sounds a sights of solitary fishing is so nice to see. You do this right. No sound tracks, just honest nature and a good narrative. I’m shocked you don’t have more subscribers. Looking forward to what you got coming up. ✌️
I love your style of fishing vids, quiet while fishing so can hear the nature sounds and pleasant short talks when speaking. I'm not one to repeat watch vids but yours are exceptional relaxing and therapeutic and worth watching many times over. Thank you for the chill
Love your videos more than you can know, Drew! I'm at home, postponing fishing trips while looking after my sick cat who's dealing with kidney failure. However, when he finally dies, I will be venturing out from Vancouver, Canada and trying out the rivers east and west of Highway 37, the one that connects Yukon with the town of Kitwanga to the south on Highway 16. It's rough country with a million miles of memories to find. Got to do it before I follow my cat. In the meantime, thanks for your show - your joy comes through loud and clear!
Great stuff Drew!Did my own version of this many years ago.Awesome memories.Can still smell the woodsmoke,taste the fish and feel the nature and solitude.😊
Thanks for another great video! I spent all morning fishing in SW Montana, and have this going on my laptop while I clean my garage lol. I couldn't ask for anything better to listen to and keep looking up frantically at when it sounds like you're getting into a good one! Thank you for doing what you do
Enjoy all the fishing videos for a person that's slowing down from two strokes and possible thyroid cancer being test this week. Keep on fishing as long as you can and hunting did both up till i was 57 ......
Drew, I live in Bozeman and have been a fishing guide for 40 years. Taking two weeks off starting tomorrow and heading to a few of the rivers you fished in this video. I have to see if fishing is as hard as people make it look when I am guiding them. Thanks for the videos, keep em coming.
Just sitting on my porch in Missouri with a glass of whiskey watching deer and turkey out in the field, and of course your video Good to see you with a long video I enjoy them immensely I hope to get to a trout stream here before the summer's over. Love your channel!
Hi Drew, what a great video! Just got back from 3 weeks fishing the Madison, Missouri, and Kootenai - up and down the whole state of Montana! Mostly drift boat floating, but the most fun was wading little O'Dell Creek (flows into the Madison. Lots of fat browns under the banks. Your video is a good reminder how much fun it is to wade fish the smaller streams. Keep 'em comin'!
Love love love your videos!!! Please talk more about your set up! I’ve been fly fishing for 7 years and tying for 2 years. I try to learn something everyday. Please help!
I assume you are retired? What a life . Thank you drew. It’s great following your adventures. Thanks for letting me tag along. Oh, did you see any bears?
I know a couple of these spots in Montana. Thank you for not ever revealing your locations. However I am curious, what do you do for a living if you have 10 days to do a fishing trip. Enjoy!
"Goodnight, look how big he is " lmfao......I'm adding goodnight to one of my good/badwords to my vocabulary........that's the second massive bull trout I seen on your channel
Loved your video. I typically fish big streams in Montana because I'm too much of a chicken to go to places with grizzly warnings--bear spray or not. Though, last season there was a sign at one of the popular places on the Madison warning away anglers due to a grizzly kill nearby. So you're always taking chances in Montana. One last comment: you have a really beat up net. Why not replace it with something more decent? Is it because you like the minimalist look? I own a Brodin net and when the bag wore out, I replaced it with a Brodin Eco Clear Rubber Replacement Net following their instructions--no zip ties... ;-)
Just one more outdoor adventure I need to do here in Montana. Lots of water, too little time. Fire restrictions on right now. Looking forward to fall and cooler temperatures and beautiful days.
I read some of the comments others sent in. Have you thought about adding some educational pieces? Show the flies you use and why you chose those particular flies. Explain nymphing and the techniques you use. My suggestion is to write a book on how to chose the rivers and streams, where you pull your intro from.
man the hot summer here has hit my home stream pretty hard here in southern b.c. there are no bans in effect but that water is warm and shallow... set the rod up for now.
Wonderful RUclips channel. My wife and I are headed to Montana in September do you have a list of where you went on this trip you are willing to share with me?
Drew seems to really like just those 3 states. Does anyone know where he lives? I live in Washington State and once fishing stealhead on the Skagit River I ran into a guy who towed his drift boat all the way from New York to fish. We drank a beer and told stories and had some laughs. Anyway, I assume Drew lives near, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. Thanks Drew.
Hey Drew, if you had to pick a 2 week time frame in the calendar year to hit Montana next year what would you recommend? Thanks, love the vids, this is my dream to do what you do on these long trips!
Love absolutely love what you do but your videos are still pixilating every 10-40 seconds. I've reviewed so many other outdoors channels that show similar type of footage that don't have this issue! Is there a setting on your camera or your production that is causing this?
😊it’s ok Drew… My biz partner and I are each building a home on 20 acres between Missoula and Helena… We’ll be screwing up the fishing for the locals in the fall…
Judging by your emotionless “no big deal” reaction breaking a 1000 dollar rod, I am not losing any sleep over the passing of your 4wt. Scanning all the very expensive Orvis gear you have, I am betting you are sponsored and get those 1k💰 rods handed over for free like candy 😙. I will use a Echo over a Orvis any day.
Haha...the recon isn't a $1,000 rod.

Big float state lol
Where all did you go? I’ll be up big horn way soon.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by that? Planning a trip to the bozeman area in July and looking to mostly wade fish. Are you saying most creeks dont get any attention? What is your definition of skinny water?
Yes, most people float. Get trout routes if you don’t have it and go blue line the class 2 streams in the area. Good luck!

As usual great videos - thanks for the thrill of walking a river - I wish I could again.

Glad you enjoyed it!

The clarity of that water......special place.

Good to watch your videos. I been out camping and FlyFishing. Just having a great time. Keep up the good work.

Great day...new subscriber.
I'm in so colorado dreaming about autumn...that fish with the black lips was incredible!
Be safe and thanks for sharing.
Grew up in Montana and I’m glad the trout and the Big Sky scenery showed you a good time
Loved this. What an epic find, those last 2 creeks ❤❤
Love love love your videos!!! Please talk more about your set up! I’ve been fly fishing for 7 years and tying for 2 years. I try to learn something everyday. Please help!
Wonderful footage Drew, many thanks from Scotland
Many thanks!
Just got to love the scenery in these states! Thanks for sharing and tight lines. 🎣

Beautiful video , thank you for sharing , just subbed and liked from California.

Love the line management around the rocks! You must have cut teeth on pocket water !
Just one more outdoor adventure I need to do here in Montana. Lots of water, too little time. Fire restrictions on right now. Looking forward to fall and cooler temperatures and beautiful days.
Awesome video the big boy under water just great thank you for sharing. Sorry about your rod hopefully what ever company brand they replace it .
Cheez-Its at streamside at dusk in Montana...life is good!

man the hot summer here has hit my home stream pretty hard here in southern b.c. there are no bans in effect but that water is warm and shallow... set the rod up for now.
We had a cold wet spring that seemed like it lasted forever. Afternoon thunder bumper almost every day.
Отличная рыбалка и хорошее настроение😊
Nice videos drew, definitely enjoyed watching.
Thank u!
Hello bro! Great video with beautiful lanscape. Can you tell me the brand of the sunglass and where did you buy it. Thank you.
Wonderful RUclips channel. My wife and I are headed to Montana in September do you have a list of where you went on this trip you are willing to share with me?
That water 😍
Excellent video
Damn that bull trout!!!
What a trip man
It was incredible!
Drew seems to really like just those 3 states. Does anyone know where he lives?

We drank a beer and told stories and had some laughs. Anyway, I assume Drew lives near, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. Thanks Drew.
I prefer the feeder tributary aka skinny water too
This definitely helps me get through a Melbourne winter and revs me up for the coming season 🎣
Great to hear!
haha, I'm in Melbourne too- doing the same thing, waiting out the cold. :)
Moving fish back and forth in the water gets oxygen into their gills, that would have been a good thing for a few that were nearly belly up
That chunkster at 8:45 was feisty !
Drew, are you worried about grizzly bears wild fishing Montana back country? Do you bring any protection like bear spray or a firearm? Thanks
Envious Drew. Love Montana. Did you ever fish Yellowstone on this trip?
Nope still haven't fished it!
Hey Drew, if you had to pick a 2 week time frame in the calendar year to hit Montana next year what would you recommend? Thanks, love the vids, this is my dream to do what you do on these long trips!
I like anytime after Labor day...less crowded, nice weather, cooler water temps so less stress on fish and you!
Stay away, we're full...
Wow 😮😮😮
Is that 2nd spot “Taylor Fork”?
You heading west any time soon ?
When were you targeting te time of year? May, June,July ?
I see that you are using zip-ties to attach your net. Are you worried about damaging the fish?
No, the edges are melted so nothing sharp and they never touch that end of the net.
Love absolutely love what you do but your videos are still pixilating every 10-40 seconds. I've reviewed so many other outdoors channels that show similar type of footage that don't have this issue! Is there a setting on your camera or your production that is causing this?
Is that the hellbent net?
If not what brand is it?
Keep Living The Dream…..
Make a trip to GA one day!
The ducks you saw were common mergansers.
very very nicr
what brand of fly rods do you use
Life is good sit back in a chair and have a cold one and be in Gods country.
5x to 5x, interesting technique.
Ditch the net, they’re overrated and a pain in the ass to cart around! lol
Must this guy use bobbers.
You really need a new net my friend.
From Montana resident... welcome to Montana, now go home
Haha, I hear ya!
😊it’s ok Drew… My biz partner and I are each building a home on 20 acres between Missoula and Helena… We’ll be screwing up the fishing for the locals in the fall…
Hoot owl restrictions are in effect
I have viewed this footage before.
Yea I created the long form vids for those that specifically asked for them. This is the last one from that trip.
You should read the Montana fishing regulations about how many hooks you can use. You CANNOT legally fish three flies. You are trying way too hard!
better to avoid 😮😢
I've never seen a fish that big in the wild!! Some of the other ones would have looked good in a fry pan. Just saying!!!
Look in fishy drew quit bullying the ducks
Comment
Terrific content BUT your too-rapid narration detracts from the viewing experience.
Your channel will never grow unless you start cooking and eating those fish
