Hmmm, someone, cough, cough, by the name of Dan, cough, cough, conveniently left out the part of the clip where he high holes me for the fish.....LOL So much fun hanging out with Dan and Mark and getting to be on one of Dan's great vids! FISH ON!!!!!!
Awesome energy loved this video! Amazing how colored up the river is. A lot of the glacier silt is coming from the Whitechuck (Sauk Trib). I think in late summer the glacier is melting at a faster rate creating all the gray color hues here.
It was a great time for sure! The water color is a mix of glacial till and the rain we had during the week. It was probably why we had to use really bright flies to attract fish (water clarity). Cheers and thanks for watching!
Great video..love your drone views! Looks like an awesome day fishings..thanks for taking us along!👍 I battled my biggest freshwater fish this evening, had about a 20 pound carp on my 4wt, got her head on shore twice and third time I knew not to..but grabbed the 6lb tippet, and fish off!😐 That’s ok, she knew I had her whipped, I called it a tie.😂 I did catch 2 more around 5 and 7 pounds (after adding 12# tippet), great fights! Fish on brother Dan! 🎣
That awesome Charlie - thanks for sharing that great story! It was a great day and I am very happy to have the drone back from the repair shop. Look forward to the Coho run coming later this month!
Woooooow,so he was a fighter,no and not out of the water,yet it's obvious you're going to let him go, aren't you?🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰😁😁😁😍😍😍time video 5:17👀👀👀 Fish on.🤠🤠🤠
Thank you Jay - I felt I needed to release this one sooner than later now that the run is in full swing in the PNW - thank you for taking the time to watch!
Great video! Drifted on that river last week and had a ton of fun. Mind saying what section this is, that loggy section would be good to know about since it wasn't on the section we hit!
Thanks Josh! The section was Sedro Woolley to Mount Vernon - one of the off shoots from the main river towards the end of the drift. Pretty dangerous section for any bigger boat...lots of downed trees almost blocking the entire channel.
@@FlyFishDan Yea, that is why I was asking we have a bigger drift boat that looks like it would be a nightmare to get through that. Would have to shoot it perfect. Sounds like if I stick to the main river we will be alright! Awesome to see you get them on the fly rod, we brought one with us but didn't have any sink tips to get them down quick enough. Look forward to new vids!
@@JoshMendoza93 Totally - they are thick in the main channels, we hoped to avoid the crowds by fishing the offshoots - things were working out well until we hit that last one...got a little sketchy for sure!

Lol! Ha! I felt pretty bad about that in the moment...until the fish starting peeling off line :)). All I have to do is not fish to catch a fish! :D
He’s sneaky like that…🤪
The sound effects with the pike minnow was hilarious! 🤣
Lol - I had fun with that one for sure!
OH-FISH-ALLY check pinks of the list!
Noice! Great fun and good times.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! It was a great day indeed!
Beautiful beautiful fish,And big fish. Nice work guys.🤗🤗🤗 Fish on.🤠🤠🤠

I agree - glad the clarity was good enough that the fish were still biting!
Looks like a god time was had by all; interesting water color.

Keep banging out these awesome videos! I haven’t watched a bad one yet!
Thanks! I am sure I'll post a dud one day! It's been super fun capturing my experiences. Almost as fun as the fishing itself! (well...almost:))
@@FlyFishDan I don’t think anyone would consider your work a dud. Good quality videos!
I agree! Dan couldn’t make a bad video if he tried. This channel needs to explode! A lot of people are missing out on excellent videography. 👍👍
@@charlieboutin3341 Thanks Charlie - I appreciate your kind words. :))
Another awesome episode! So many good vids it's hard to keep up!
Thank you Jay - I felt I needed to release this one sooner than later now that the run is in full swing in the PNW - thank you for taking the time to watch!
Love it brother! Just caught a bunch of pinks on the Puyallup River
Very nice! So much fun to catch!
@@FlyFishDan I need the kings to start running through the Chehalis though! That’s my spot
Great video!! That looks perfect for a spey rod!
Thank you Big Ron! My friend Mark was using both a spey and Euro Nymphing rod to catch Pinks - super fun day!
@@FlyFishDan whenever your ready to take stripers of your bucket list come to Rhode Island and look me up we have the best striper fishing!!
@@bigron8346 you’ve got yourself a deal! That is on the bucket list :-). Thank you for the kind offer Big Ron!
Uffff,next fighter.👀👀👀🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍 Sweet.🥰🥰🥰 Fish on.🤠🤠🤠

These fish are so chrome!
They were pretty darned clean for sure - recent rain must have brought them into the river not very long ago.
You have it really, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍 Fish on.🤠🤠🤠
Thank you kindly
Man who was your guide? He looked amazing, need his #. :D Great vid as always!
Lol - he’s a pretty rock solid human for sure…and excellent fly fisher! Thanks Mark! :))
Guest appearance by Mark?!?!?!? What a treat 🙏
@@teamlosi11 haha I was the hired help rowing Dan and his camera crew down the river 😂
Any tactics for not getting my car broken into on the Skagit lol
That sucks - very sorry to hear!!
@@FlyFishDan Hasn't happened to me yet but I hear a lot of guys
Hey man! Love your channel, do you guide by any chance? I am up in Seattle area
Hello! I don't - today, this is a hobby...I have a FT job that takes priority :))
@@FlyFishDan Ah got it. Well thanks for all your hard work. The videos keep me going when I am sitting behind a computer screen....
If you catch and eat a fish, do you become FryFishDan?
Lol - that's pretty funny! Cheers!
Hey Mark!
Sweet.😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰
What pontoon?
I was using the Colorado by Classic
So this may be blasphemy but try swinging a dick nite spoon on a sink tip. The light blades cast easily and Pinks can’t resist them!
I've got a buddy who did that, I totally called him out for cheating :))
@@FlyFishDan i bet he hammered though didn’t he 😂
