Native Montanan here, happy to have you here. I was living in Minnesota for over a decade and doing a lot of fishing out there, but not fly fishing. Moved home a year ago and used my fly rod for the first time in years. The videos on your channel are a great refresher of things I had learned about long ago, but there are many more great things I never knew about that I have learned now thanks to your videos.
Thanks so much for watching.
@alalx jjnnz I agree with you that I should have explored the fly fishing spots in MN & WI when I lived there. I was really having fun fishing for bass, crappie, walleye, and pike. Wanted to hook a muskie but that never happened.
The videography and editing in this video was fantastic! Great work team!
Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.
Incredibly jealous. After I retired, 7 yrs ago this past June, my wife and I took 3 or 4 weeks and drove from SE PA to Yellowstone. Stayed in the park for a week. Waters in the park were too high from spring runoff to fish, but the park is breathtaking. Spent some time at Ft Smith at a local lodge. Fished the Bighorn for a few days. Spectacular area. Can't wait to see the rest of your trip. Thanks for the great, interesting videos.
Thanks for watching. We really appreciate it.
Doing some prep for a Montana visit thanks Brian for all the recommendations.
Thanks for watching!
Thx for bringing us along for your trip, can't wait to see more!!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
I would guess that Buffalo Ford was renamed Nez Perce Ford after the indigenous Nez Perce people whose ancestral homeland included parts of Montana. So beautiful!
Yes, that is the case.
So the adventure begins. I'm looking forward to the next one and always love the subtle humour Brian. I watched this will sorting my gear for an afternoon and evening on one of Wiltshire's chalk streams tomorrow(Wild browns and grayling only). I'm just glad I won't need to shout "hey bear" as I wade!
Thanks for watching.
Awesome job guys, Cant wait for ep.2!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
I have no words. Beautiful. Fly fishing helps to understand Nature
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the scenery videos MRO. Takes my mind off the Texas heat for 10 minutes..then I can daydream about it the rest of the day. Have a great trip! Looking forward to the next episode.
👍👌✌️🎣
Thanks so much for watching.
I could spend a whole lifetime driving and fishing Northwest Wyoming and Southern Montana. It never gets old. Yellowstone NP was the first place I ever saw flyfishermen in 1982 or so. Definitely, a developmental moment in my life. I hope you have a great trip.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more.
Wow impressive intro to the trip video. I can’t wait!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
I lived in Dillon MT for a few years, and this was like coming home! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for being here and please stay tuned.
Can’t wait for ep2
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this. We couldn't get out there this year (reservations in for next summer😀) and I can't explain the yearning as I watch your adventure. We've never fished in Yellowstone before and I told my wife I wasn't going out again without a fly outfit. We stopped in at your store a few weeks ago and Katie helped us pick out a bunch of stuff and a couple of the Redington field kits. At 62 I haven't fly fished in decades and I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying it! Thanks to you and your staff! Good luck.
Thanks for watching and especially thanks for the support. Stay tuned and stay in touch.
Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching.
You can tune a fly rod , a fish and a video. I like that song. Great video.
Thanks for watching.
Great videography and scenery is absolutely amazing!
Thanks for being here and please stay tuned.
I have the same bug. Family Vacation started in 1977. Fished the same places. Slough and Lamar, Gallatin are amazing. Both my parents are now gone, but Every year less a few its back to YNP. What a place.
We have hardly missed a year since 1986?
Bin there (YS) once in 1992... love to come back!!! Looking foreward to the next episode
Why not go with us next year?
Fishing the second meadow of Slough Creek was one of my best days on the water. Worth the hike!!
Usually true but not the case this year. Stay tuned for a skunking!
Have an awesome trip Brian and catch ALL the fish. I'm normally not the jealous type but i'm a bit envious right now.
Thanks for watching. Not to spoil further episodes, but he didn't catch ALL of the fish.
Nicely done! Great walk through nostalgia with you. I'll be in Yellowstone and the Henry's Fork starting on the 14th for a few weeks - first time ever. I'll be sure to tell Parks that you sent me. I see an exchange of consideration in their future.
Thanks for watching and tell Richard Parks we said hello! He's a good friend.
My bucket list

I've been to the Park Fly Shop in Gardiner. Great shop!
Thanks for watching.
Been in Bozeman enjoyed the landscape and rivers there I definitely know your pleasure. Cheers my good friends from Ohio. I will be over to Mad Rivers this year to get hooked up with the best rod and reel set up for the job to tackle the small creeks of PA. Cheers
Thanks for watching and they will look forward to seeing you in the shop.
Great stuff. According to Yellowstone Place Names - it was originally known as Nez Perce Ford or Chief Joesph's Crossing. Buffalo Ford was a name it picked up in 1946 after a couple of rangers found Bison frozen in the ice there. I'm a new angler who has learned a lot watching your videos. I was fishing that area just last weekend and didn't catch a thing either. Nice to know even the experts don't catch much there. I did watch a couple of anglers on the other side of the river catch a couple as well as a family of otters do pretty good. Hopefully the cutthroat will be back again in numbers some day. Thanks again for great content.
Thanks for the intel and thanks for watching. Please stay tuned.
Slough Creek was my favorite from my 2015 visit. Hope to return soon!!!!
Brian told us that his will states that his ashes are to be spread in the second meadow. Not to be too dark or anything. Thanks for watching.
I live in Mt, and spend a lot of time in the park every summer, though I don't really fish in the park, I do outside the park around West Yellowstone. Some of your footage from Norris Geyser Basin, reminded me I once took a automotive laser thermometer, and some of the little geysers right next to the trail measured 178 degrees! Glad you get to visit, and thank you, I learned a LOT about fly fishing from your channel, and wish I could be your guide to repay some your wisdom.
Thanks for being here.
Amazing!
Thanks for watching.
Montana is one of the greatest states I've visited. I can't get enough of that place especially after fishing the Madison and at the base of Big Sky
It's been a big part of our lives and our business for decades. We visit every Summer!

Love Montana fly fishing & Yellowstone!
Thanks for watching. Episode 2 coming shortly!
I’m literally leaving for Bozeman in the morning to fly fish and this video has me hyped!
Have fun and thanks for watching.
Like you, this one one of my favorite places! I try to get up there every few years from Texas.
Thanks for watching. A truly magical place!!!!
I’m headed there myself on Sunday ! Thanks for the great video . It’s really stirred up my excitement level !! We’ve been watching your fly fishing school videos in preparation for the trip . It will be my boyfriend’s first time fly fishing ( I’ve only done it a couple of times myself) . Love the videos . Keep up the good work !
Thanks for watching and have fun!
I love Yellowstone.
Apparently Brian does too! Thanks for watching.
Living in Ennis MT gives us the opportunity to go to the park quite often it’s such a wonderful place . I remember fishing Buffalo Ford in 1991 and catching fish on almost every cast , it was one of those days . 2021 has been an awakening hot weather smoke and low rivers everywhere in MT . Looking over the Madison as I type this and it’s low . I’m sure you will have a great time with Kelly and his crew , who wouldn’t . Enjoy your stay in MT.
Happy Trails
Thanks so much for watching. They had a blast, as always. Stay tuned for more.....
Ha! Just missed ya, Brian! I was just in Yellowstone and popped over to the Slide Inn. I met Kelly and told him that I'd learn fly fishing watching your videos (thank you very much) and he said that you had just been there days before! Ha! Same thing happened to me down at the Woodland Plantation a couple months ago. ..., but trust me, I'm not stalkin' ya. Anyway, great, great video. Thanks for all you do for the sport, man.
Thanks for watching and hope you catch up to him soon.
The cutthroat coming out of the Lake sounds like an awesome fishery. Here's to hoping those days return.
He'll keep going back regardless but would be nice to catch a few fish every now and then.
I like this video.
Thanks for watching.
I was in Yellowstone the last few days of August and the 1st and 2nd of September. Drive up the Madison River Valley back to Bozeman. Thanks for telling me about the Slide Inn. I’ll be booking that next time I’m there. Hopefully sooner than later!
Thanks for watching and tell them we sent you.
Kelly’s stretch of the river has the best fish! You have to stay there next time. Friendly people and very good service and amazing fishing.
@@zeroedinwithzeke4059 They did stay there. We do every Summer and have been for 19 years now. www.madriveroutfitters.com/s-115-kelly-galloups-slide-inn-montana.aspx
@@zeroedinwithzeke4059 check out episodes 2 and 3 for more!
I was in yellowstone like a week ago!!! It would have been so fun to run into you guys
Thanks for watching.
They've been working on eradicating the Lake Trout from Yellowstone Lake so maybe hopefully the cutties will come back...I fish it for a few hours each year and have yet to elicit a strike myself. Great You Tube channel , keep it up!
Thanks for watching and here's hoping!
Brian
..Thanks for sharing...What do you recommend from Parks?..grasshopper size 14?
Thanks for watching. You'd have to check with Brian on that though. E-mail or call him at the shop and he'll be happy to answer any questions.
Went out that way three times this year. It's been odd one, some rivers were high others were very low.
Mostly low in August, and many restrictions.
I’ve never fished upper Slough Creek, but I have fished it below the campground. Very tricky currents and technical fishing. My favorite stream is Soda Butte about a quarter mile above its confluence with the Lamar. But last time I was there there was a flood and that section of the river was all braided and pretty much unfishable . That was about 10 years ago- perhaps it has re- channelized and fishes well again
Thanks for watching. Soda Butte was very fishable when we were there.
Next time you come I live in Montana and the fishing in Craig not far from great falls or Helena is insane people come from everywhere to fish there. I bet you’ve already been there.
He has been there. He goes to the Slide Inn and Yellowstone to see old friends and to re-kindle childhood memories. Thanks for watching.
Welcome to Montana
Thanks for watching.
I live in Bozeman! And I used to live in Mammoth! I would have loved to have met y’all in person. Maybe next time.
Thanks for watching.
I’ve fished with Richard Parks many times. Copacetic is his favorite word. His favorite fly is the Coachman Trude
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.
Literally in south Yellowstone right now. I may have to come video bomb y'all at Slough 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching and have fun. This was back in early August though......they were on Slough on August 10th.
Brian, I could not agree with more regarding the Bozeman Airport as being the best in the world and the gateway to the awesome YNP. You also were very close to the section on the Yellowstone River where I landed a 26" cutthroat in 2018, between Me Hardy Rapids and Nez Perze. On the topic of the invasive Lake Trout, there has been a project over the last few years as you know to eradicate them. A very good point regarding the lake trout, those fish being illegally introduced has to be called what it is, eco-terriorism as it has nearly exterminated those native cutts. I know a biologist from UVM who is a lake trout expert and has assisted with the project to eliminate those non-natives. Sorry for the lecture, but the topic of natives vs non-natives needs to be shared with folks who love fisheries like the Yellowstone and want to protect that place. I am a board member of Native Fish Coalition, Vermont chapter.
Lake Trout Kill Elk!
Thanks for sharing and please stay tuned.
I was there last week 🙈
Thanks for watching.
I've been trying to buy that orange tfo bag and you never have it in stock! :(
Well...not us. We have dozens on order and have for months and moths. Please stay tuned.
Welcome to my back yard.
Thanks for watching.
Sad to see/hear about the decline. It’s been a while since I fished out west but the memories are never far b
Great memories yes and hopefully this can come back in our liftetimes.
Wish I could have met you. I work up at mammoth and just started fly fishing this season. It’s been a tough season for fishing here. Thanks for your videos
Next time! It HAS been a tough season for fishing out there. Stay tuned.
Hey Brian, greetings from Australia. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your special places in yellow stone with me. Even though I live over the other side of the world, I have been infatuated with the park ever since I saw the first images as I child. After many years of saving I manage 2 years ago to save enough money to travel over and see it with my own eyes. For some reason this video and you sharing your experiences with the place caused my to sob uncontrollable with happiness again as I did when I first stepped foot in the park. Weird i know but for some reason I just feel that way about the place. Always been saving ever since to return so who knows mabye one day by chance we could be unrolling loops to a returned cut throat population at buffalo Ford fingers crossed. All the best in your travels!
Thanks so much for watching. It's a special place for sure!
Where you are was Nez Perce land before the US government took it and force the tribe onto the Reservation they currently are on in Eastern Oregon, south east Washington, and Idaho. That why the name was changed
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.
So, why not eliminate the Lake Trout and bring in Cutthroat fingerings?
They have been trying for years to eliminate the lake trout.
I think if it was just about the fishing a lot of people would give it up.
"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after"- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do the people of mt a favor say your in California or Utah
Sorry but the video has already been made. Thanks for being here though.
