Its easy to get that burnt out feeling when you are constantly grinding away. Your content is fantastic! It might not matter, but the wild fly videos you have made were a big inspiration to me picking up a fly rod and learning to fish with it. Fly fishing has been so much fun and A great learning experience for me. I hope you find the proper balance and keep making great videos.
This channel near single-handedly cultured a love (read: addiction) for fly fishing. Just got back from a trip to Belize that I'd saved up for....simply because the Sailboat Diaries convinced I wanted to catch bonefish. This channel is in the same tier as Tom Rosenbauer for what it's done for fly fishing... especially for younger folks
6:00 Pay attention to that. Having guided 15 years, owned a lodge for 10, published a major magazine for 5 and now full on media, what you expressed is ALWAYS at the center of things. Take more time to explore your center foundations so you know what it feels like, what it is. Great anxiety comes in this industry when you deviate too far from your centering.
you are a talented storyteller, fly fisherman, outdoorsman, producer, director, editor, logistics and planning expert, entrpeneur, conservationist, community builder, (improving) cyclist, skier... please keep doing what you love and please make sure you find a way to balance your love of fishing with paying the bills in a healthy way. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you and all your upcoming adventures! Thanks for all the entertainment, and the hard work it takes to make it look so beautiful.
That boat launch fish was incredible, those are moments that have us coming back! Keep up the work Scotty, but more importantly hope you find time for rest and to enjoy the things you love.
Honestly, I don't know if this comment will hold your attention. I'm 20 years old, I'm French, and your videos have changed a lot of the way I think about my future. You are an example, thank you so much for what you do.
Thanks for your honesty, Scottie! I think people around our age have all been having those down feelings this past year (especially being broke lol). Life isn't easy. But we have to just keep pushing and moving on, and things will turn out. And fishing definitely helps with that! Your films are awesome, and I can relate to every single one!
Burnout is tough. I moved to SLC a year ago for medical school, and I’ve had many days I wish I was out in the mountains while I’m buried in work instead of powder. 🎿 Your films are an escape when I can’t go spend a day fishing. I’ll do my best to support your work, and I hope you make a salmon fly hatch film someday with better luck.
Grew up fishing Bell Crossing as my go to wade spot on the root. Even if you didn’t hit the meat of the skwallas hatching seeing my favorite fishing content creator working some of my favorite water in the world is pretty damn cool
I feel the burnout aspect. i have attempted to be a creator while also working full time in law enforcement and being a full time student. It is tough.
Bruv, EVERY job effects all those things, be VERY happy you are in the position you are, you get to make money fishing and making movies. I know its hard but you need to ask yourself. If I was in a cube in SF would I feel the same or would I miss what I used to do? I live in Montana, I fish, I work, I create, but everyday I wake up and remind myself how blessed I am. You my friend are blessed, you get to make money how many of us wish we could. Tight lines, head up, buck.
5:15 in the video. You are by far the best fishing RUclipsr I’ve ever watched and likely will ever watch. Keep the grind up! But keep your health I check first. Love ya man
You should start a patreon. I am sure their are plenty of people that would want to support you and help you have the financial freedom to pursue film making. We need more of these great films!
Great video Scottie. I know I’m late but I love saving a bundle of vids to watch on a Sunday night. Love the vid! keep it up. Favorite channel right here.
Dude thank you so much for your videos! You’ve been a big inspiration for me. This will be my first year fly fishing. I’m also from Utah! Born and raised. Thank you for creating genuine content.
I will be purchasing product to support. Your content is real and is always inspiring to watch Had 2 rough floats on the Provo myself the last couple of weeks. The last gasp fish was epic
As someone who shares a passion on social media, I know firsthand the amount of time, effort and energy it takes to balance our online presence with our real-life obligations. It can be a challenging juggling act, trying to create content, and engage with our followers, while also managing our personal and professional lives. So, as a fellow creator, I want you to know that I empathize with the hard work and dedication you put into what you do. Keep pushing through, and never forget that your efforts are making a difference in the lives of those who follow and support you.
More people than you think are in your same position - working to create beauty and a better world rather than wasting away in an office for something they don't care about. Your story is an important one. Keep telling it. Keep reaching out and asking for help because that's a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness.
Keep up the great work! I know you got burnt out but your show is one of my favorite to watch. Please keep the awesome content coming! Sorry you got to hit our terribly long winter. We just had snow on Monday and it was 78 today. Cheers from a Montana resident! Great job on all the fish!
Welcome to month 6 of winter in Montana! The skwala hatch is one I have yet to experience. Can't wait for the caddis and salmon fly hatch coming soon! Been some great nymphing and streamer fishing lately with some 70 degree days but I'm ready for some dry fly action.
Hell yeah dude, I feel you on so many levels. Finding the balance is so difficult. Just know that it will happen, acknowledging it is the first step. From there it's only up. You got this
Absolute banger Scottie! Thanks for being vulnerable and opening up about the struggles too! I too have struggled to find the balance. Eventually it will come, probably go, then come back again. The seasons of life! Thanks for working so hard so we can enjoy it!
Well sorry you didn’t do better. the skwalla hatch was really good for me this year, I’m guessing you where a little bit earlier in the hatch that’s why it wasn’t producing as well.
Scottie! Hey man, if you're getting down to the nub due to the grind come wet a line with The Hell's Anglers. We're a small group (4) of local yokel 801 fishermen. All we do is fish for fun and laughs. No RUclips, no merch, no pressure. Just a few jackasses, a coupla fish whistles and the some open water.
I so appreciate your videos man. I totally understand your feeling. I started a clothing brand to support making videos but now it seems like i just make shirts. hopefully changing that some. are you filming your slow releases in 4k. if so what frame rate
Mate, Wildfly isn’t just videos. It’s a community, love sharing your journey of where you go and fish with the lads. Flying from England next week out to Montana to fish for 8 days, partly inspired by your journey. Keep going mate what you do is special, it’s unmatched and it’s epic!
I love the longer form videos you produce. as an avid skier, backpacker, outdoorsman I would totally love to see what angle you bring to the other passions you hold!
I've been following your amazing work and passion for a while. Insane editing, killer music,, and beautiful cinematography, so well done on documenting this guys! In my hay day, there was no internet, information at your fingertips, RUclips, drones, go pros,. the only thing we had wat intel a intel passed down and books, We operated in the low-tech algorithms fueled by imagination, and tethered to coffee stained US Forestry and BLM maps and a compass. Now is such a golden age, everting is in abundance, flux, much easier and simple to do than before. I see allot of me in your adventures in my younger self in my rambling 20's. We'd cut lose with minimal provisions, jammed old heavy frame packs, blazing up and down trails to find the next unknown creek, only to show off blisters, burses and the memories we carved out at the end of day dog-beat-tried over a warm campfire. . Man if was so fun, I would do it again over and over... Now I'm 50, dealing with life's responsibilities and family, I live vicariously through these videos. The irony is no one believes age will catch them, you think you have enough time, but you do not. An old friend / mentor in my teenager years ,"Red" a 80 something former WW2 Bomber pilot one told me while we were fishing for the mighty striper bass schools on Lake Texoma, "Son, life is short, time has no sides, it waits for none, everyone get's theirs in life's share, better go grab it, and live it or someone else will". I'm self employed, yes, it's a tough gig, it kicks the shit out of you, it's a daunting and grueling task sometimes. It's a financial roller-coaster of cash-flow in and out, then nothing you never know what the is coming at you. Don't get discouraged, or let those mind monsters canalizable your thoughts, weeds grow ramped in your minds garden overtaking your hopes, dreams and passion. Working for yourself there are challenges, some you accept, some you solve and beat, others let it go. There's a golden lining, absolute rewards for those who are agile and patient. Working for yourself is one of the very hardest things top achieve in life, but there is pure blissful freedom that awaits , something no can give you, but only you. Keep at it, stay the course, and follow your heart and passion in your journeys. You guys are very talented, a bit of a prodigy. Your going to come our just fine! What your doing and what going through is a normal part of the discovery process along your journey. Its the test, triles and tribulations of experiencing youth. These experiences build character and apply wisdom in your life. You fall down, you get back up and do it again. You do it becase you can, and now time is on your side, it's your friend. Time will not always be on your side, but now it is. Enjoying embracing the beautiful and magic of youth. This moment in time is meant to be, it's your time in life, it's a priceless diamond and an invincible time to form and develop your vital life experiences. Taking chances, calculated risks with probable outcomes, and learning from it. Go do it, make it happen in life. Choices = consequences, and for every reaction there is a an action. Keep up the great streamside wild fly action. Hope this wisdom inspires and encourages you to keep on keeping the pursuit!
Honestly I would love to go fly-fishing looks so much fun I've lived in Utah my entire life and never gone fly fishing would love to go thank you for all you do keep up the good work man
Love your content! I get to travel and fish virtually with you guys. Hang in there..hope you guys can fish the salmon fly hatch on the Deschutes in Oregon sometime.
Brother, awesome film as always. Good to hear you are taking the steps to balance life out a bit and keep grinding. Related so hard seeing you guys grind on the river, all to get a beauty eat right at the end. Moments like that make everything worth it. Look forward to follow the adventures this year dude🤙🏼
Ain’t over till the boats on the trailer! Can’t tell ya how many times I get a last call fish on just before the take out! Awesome film Scottie! You’re always welcome back to the bitterroot👍🏼
Great inspirational content....thanks. Headin out in a few days to the Ozarks for smallie rivers and tailwater trout....in part due to your channel. Thanks
when you set the hook on those little white fish, dont pull so hard! they have very soft mouths and you could be tearing it when you set the hook. GREAT CONTENT
You know what man ive never been able to relate to someone so much, at the 5 minute mark in this video I felt like it was me talking to me, trying to build something from scratch that you love is always more pain than we expect, I hope you and I in the end are able to manifest what we want from life, keep doing what you're doing man its inspiring more people than you can possibly imagine. Thanks
Funny how I now find myself anxiously awaiting your next video. I'm heading for Montana next week. hopping I'm not too late. Thanks for another wonderful adventure.
there are so many "highlight reel" videos out there... you do a great job of showing the journey, not just the fish in the net. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for your honesty! My favorite thing in the world to do is to fly fish. When I am not fishing, I love to watch fishing videos and I watch EVERY one of your videos. Also, as a long time subscriber I want to say thanks for all of your fantastic content. You do a great job and it is appreciated! Life is stressful for all of us in our own unique way. Thanks for providing a distraction from it. You guys are awesome! Keep it up, you have 125k people who appreciate you.
Take it easy my friend, audiovisual work is complex and demands to be an expert in many areas, and that generates pressure. For me, who has been working on this for many years, a good option is to deliver part of the process to someone else. I know it's difficult, because you want to be able to be part of everything and you don't always agree with how others do things, but it's good for improving your creative process and effectiveness in developing your part of the production process. If you want to come fly fishing in the south of Chile, you can let me know! We can organize a route and record a good video. I am a Chilean audiovisual producer and a fan of fly fishing.
I really appreciate it! We’re working on growing out our team for just that. Would love to make it down to Chile. Shoot me an email and let’s chat scottie@wild-fly.com
High quality as always, love what you did with the OnX section, definitely distinct from what a lot of other channels in the space are doing for their sponsorship plugs!
I'm with Scottie on the cutting the tangle, after about a minute I just give up and cut it all. It's faster for me to just re-tie a couple triple surgeons knots than keep attempting to untangle the knot which half the time makes it worse.
Scottie, In your home state on my Spring month-long van camping, fishing, birding, no surfing 'cause it's too big trip. Your video was a fantastic way to relax at the end of the day. Your hard work is my inspiration to explore where I've never been and much appreciated...more than you know. Thanks Scottie.
I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none! Hunt, fish, trap, ski, backpack, and scuba are the main ones. Take solace in the fact that even though you are feeling overwhelmed you are VERY good at this part. That said balance is soooo important and I seem to be learning this at 58 🙃
I grew up in Hamilton. Favorite part of the Skwala season is the weather. Rain, snow, sun, sometimes the best fishing is in a snow storm. Timing the runoff on top of that is also so hit or miss. It’s elusive, that makes it fun.
Hamilton is awesome. I lived in Victor. Do You remember River Ron? I love fishing that Valley. I heard Anglers Roost was recently purchased by clueless morons & is being destroyed. The Last Great Place is in need of some private Wardens to go to bat for the Bitterroot, not China.....Huey Lewis Sucks!!
Finding a balance between work, relationships and hobbies is really hard to sort out at a young age. It takes a good bit of time from what I hear. Just hold on to your passion man, your production quality is great keep at it.
Very pleasant episode, nice job y’all! The time on the River is time we’ll spent no matter what! LOL “You offer us Elk burgers and we can offer you a granola bar” 😂😂
We love the videos and appreciate the honesty. We all feel overwhelmed at times and that’s ok. Society makes us all think we have to hide it and lie to ourselves. You being honest about hard days helps others feel like we all go through these things together 💪✅🙌
The attitude is what makes it. Goddamn. Good work dudes. These aren't necessarily the first stories you tell around the fire, but they're damn sure the ones that get the biggest laughter and biggest smiles. Never change that. One of my fav vids so far.
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. Someone is pullin your leg, I've fly fished Montana from Libby to Dillion since 1958 and I've never heard of a hatch like you're talking about.
You're super young dude. No one your age has "made it" yet. Work, making money, life - whatever you want to call it. It is a grind. Jobs fuck'n suck. But you're super talented. Keep going man. Somehow this can be a sustainable and long-term business. Let your fans know what you need. More merch bought?
The big videos are great, but I don't think they're necessary for your success. The bond and interactions you guys have while fishing, and the fishing itself is what most people enjoy. No disrespect but I'm assuming most of us can't tell the crazy shots you got or editing you did. But as someone who designs and builds for a living I totally get being hung up on that "one thing" even if know one else will notice.. just have fun exploring and fishing with buddies, as someone with no friends that fish, that's what I enjoy.
Ok..... Hahahahahahaha! Had to get that out of my system.... yes, Montana springs are straight up Schizophrenic, I deal with it every year. Try to get in a little pre-runoff fishing, then you sit and wait for July. Glad you got to meet some legit locals though. Good no ya.
Dude I just found your channel. I grew up in the bitterroot! Awesome stuff man! Keep up the incredible content, from what I’ve seen so far it’s top notch 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Its easy to get that burnt out feeling when you are constantly grinding away. Your content is fantastic! It might not matter, but the wild fly videos you have made were a big inspiration to me picking up a fly rod and learning to fish with it. Fly fishing has been so much fun and A great learning experience for me. I hope you find the proper balance and keep making great videos.
This channel near single-handedly cultured a love (read: addiction) for fly fishing. Just got back from a trip to Belize that I'd saved up for....simply because the Sailboat Diaries convinced I wanted to catch bonefish. This channel is in the same tier as Tom Rosenbauer for what it's done for fly fishing... especially for younger folks
6:00 Pay attention to that. Having guided 15 years, owned a lodge for 10, published a major magazine for 5 and now full on media, what you expressed is ALWAYS at the center of things.

you are a talented storyteller, fly fisherman, outdoorsman, producer, director, editor, logistics and planning expert, entrpeneur, conservationist, community builder, (improving) cyclist, skier... please keep doing what you love and please make sure you find a way to balance your love of fishing with paying the bills in a healthy way. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you and all your upcoming adventures! Thanks for all the entertainment, and the hard work it takes to make it look so beautiful.
That boat launch fish was incredible, those are moments that have us coming back! Keep up the work Scotty, but more importantly hope you find time for rest and to enjoy the things you love.
Honestly, I don't know if this comment will hold your attention. I'm 20 years old, I'm French, and your videos have changed a lot of the way I think about my future. You are an example, thank you so much for what you do.
I appreciate you tuning in my man!
@@WildFlyProductions On X Hunt is it available in Europe?
@@pierremius Not currently, but they're working on getting international dialed in soon.

This has surely been a weird winter/spring for us Montanans. Shoutout to Koby for making an appearance! Another great video! 🎉
Grew up fishing Bell Crossing as my go to wade spot on the root. Even if you didn’t hit the meat of the skwallas hatching seeing my favorite fishing content creator working some of my favorite water in the world is pretty damn cool
I know that feeling. Dont let yourself get dragged away from flyfishing and having fun. That happens faster than you might think 😬
I feel the burnout aspect. i have attempted to be a creator while also working full time in law enforcement and being a full time student. It is tough.
Just keep doing you brotha. Your videos lit a fire in me to fish with the fly rod. We will all be here ready when you post.
Bruv, EVERY job effects all those things, be VERY happy you are in the position you are, you get to make money fishing and making movies. I know its hard but you need to ask yourself. If I was in a cube in SF would I feel the same or would I miss what I used to do? I live in Montana, I fish, I work, I create, but everyday I wake up and remind myself how blessed I am.

Great video Scottie. I know I’m late but I love saving a bundle of vids to watch on a Sunday night. Love the vid! keep it up. Favorite channel right here.
the best things are worth fighting for and your videos are some of the best I see in quality and production. Keep your head up pal
Dude thank you so much for your videos! You’ve been a big inspiration for me. This will be my first year fly fishing. I’m also from Utah! Born and raised. Thank you for creating genuine content.
I will be purchasing product to support. Your content is real and is always inspiring to watch Had 2 rough floats on the Provo myself the last couple of weeks. The last gasp fish was epic
Thanks so much! Runoff is getting nasty here in Utah so I hear ya brother.

Terri is the true hero of this video.
You're damn right!
That’s the bitterroot. Some longggg days between fish sometimes.
Welcome to month 6 of winter in Montana! The skwala hatch is one I have yet to experience. Can't wait for the caddis and salmon fly hatch coming soon! Been some great nymphing and streamer fishing lately with some 70 degree days but I'm ready for some dry fly action.
Very cool. I'm just starting out and hoping I can catch half that.
love the videos man and I admire the hell out of you for taking the risk to do this full time. U got this!
Hell yeah dude, I feel you on so many levels. Finding the balance is so difficult. Just know that it will happen, acknowledging it is the first step. From there it's only up. You got this
I appreciate it a lot, dude!
Absolute banger Scottie! Thanks for being vulnerable and opening up about the struggles too! I too have struggled to find the balance. Eventually it will come, probably go, then come back again. The seasons of life! Thanks for working so hard so we can enjoy it!
please come to mn
Well sorry you didn’t do better. the skwalla hatch was really good for me this year, I’m guessing you where a little bit earlier in the hatch that’s why it wasn’t producing as well.
Yep, hard to time coming from out of town but we’ll be back up!
Still hitting em for me, though I'm getting more fish on green drakes and March Browns now.

The whitefish feature with hip hop music at 22:09 had me dying laughing

Great inspirational content....thanks. Headin out in a few days to the Ozarks for smallie rivers and tailwater trout....in part due to your channel. Thanks
So sick dude I’m jealous. Go slay!
Thanks man
what is your process for choosing what music to use? Always enjoy your choices
when you set the hook on those little white fish, dont pull so hard! they have very soft mouths and you could be tearing it when you set the hook. GREAT CONTENT
I've never bough merch. But after seeing you bite down a stonefly I bought a shirt!
Thanks for the content!
We appreciate it dude! And some extra protein never hurt nobody…
You know what man ive never been able to relate to someone so much, at the 5 minute mark in this video I felt like it was me talking to me, trying to build something from scratch that you love is always more pain than we expect, I hope you and I in the end are able to manifest what we want from life, keep doing what you're doing man its inspiring more people than you can possibly imagine.

This is a great video I was looking for. Subscribed a long time ago
The Bitterroot, I was fishing the same areas you fished last year. Great water to fish.
Funny how I now find myself anxiously awaiting your next video. I'm heading for Montana next week. hopping I'm not too late. Thanks for another wonderful adventure.
That 31:42 shot is so Cool! Great Film all around! Eat Zee Bugs! ...eww!
Love the videos.
there are so many "highlight reel" videos out there...
you do a great job of showing the journey, not just the fish in the net. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for your honesty! My favorite thing in the world to do is to fly fish. When I am not fishing, I love to watch fishing videos and I watch EVERY one of your videos.

Born and raised in western MT…. Appreciate your representation and respect to my beautiful home
We use onX religiously between fishing and hunting trips. 10/10 recommend. E scouting has changed the game
Great to see the Kettlehouse getting some film time. Best brewery in the state! Keep up the work, Scotty!
Love your content. Find your balance, you gotta be having fun🤙🏽
One last lazy cast the river smiled at you.
Take it easy my friend, audiovisual work is complex and demands to be an expert in many areas, and that generates pressure. For me, who has been working on this for many years, a good option is to deliver part of the process to someone else. I know it's difficult, because you want to be able to be part of everything and you don't always agree with how others do things, but it's good for improving your creative process and effectiveness in developing your part of the production process.
If you want to come fly fishing in the south of Chile, you can let me know!
We can organize a route and record a good video.
I am a Chilean audiovisual producer and a fan of fly fishing.
I really appreciate it! We’re working on growing out our team for just that. Would love to make it down to Chile. Shoot me an email and let’s chat scottie@wild-fly.com
ALWAYS catch ‘em while talking or not paying attention
High quality as always, love what you did with the OnX section, definitely distinct from what a lot of other channels in the space are doing for their sponsorship plugs!
Thanks! We’re stoked about the app and it’s exciting to share with all of you.
Another great video. Keep it up....at your own pace.
I'm with Scottie on the cutting the tangle, after about a minute I just give up and cut it all. It's faster for me to just re-tie a couple triple surgeons knots than keep attempting to untangle the knot which half the time makes it worse.
Amen dude! It's all about efficiency haha
Mixing your eggs backwards. And you thought we wouldn’t notice the details!
Haha good call. I’m clearly not known for my cooking skills..
Scottie,
In your home state on my Spring month-long van camping, fishing, birding, no surfing 'cause it's too big trip.
Your video was a fantastic way to relax at the end of the day. Your hard work is my inspiration to explore where I've never been and much appreciated...more than you know.
Thanks Scottie.
I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none! Hunt, fish, trap, ski, backpack, and scuba are the main ones. Take solace in the fact that even though you are feeling overwhelmed you are VERY good at this part. That said balance is soooo important and I seem to be learning this at 58 🙃
Thank you for what you do.
I grew up in Hamilton. Favorite part of the Skwala season is the weather. Rain, snow, sun, sometimes the best fishing is in a snow storm. Timing the runoff on top of that is also so hit or miss. It’s elusive, that makes it fun.
Might not even get to really fish it due to high water. Have had some really special days on the root when they were hitting em hard
Hamilton is awesome. I lived in Victor. Do You remember River Ron? I love fishing that Valley. I heard Anglers Roost was recently purchased by clueless morons & is being destroyed. The Last Great Place is in need of some private Wardens to go to bat for the Bitterroot, not China.....Huey Lewis Sucks!!
It’s been a yr❤. How are you doing today?
Finding a balance between work, relationships and hobbies is really hard to sort out at a young age. It takes a good bit of time from what I hear. Just hold on to your passion man, your production quality is great keep at it.
Great film once again, this channel is one of the reasons I started fly fishing, thank you.
Do you guys like that olive insulated jacket I’m thinking about getting it and just wondering how it is
Very pleasant episode, nice job y’all! The time on the River is time we’ll spent no matter what! LOL “You offer us Elk burgers and we can offer you a granola bar” 😂😂
I live in Montana and caught the skwala hatch but never caught one. Barely even saw them rising. Did have one bite but never hooked him
We love the videos and appreciate the honesty. We all feel overwhelmed at times and that’s ok. Society makes us all think we have to hide it and lie to ourselves. You being honest about hard days helps others feel like we all go through these things together 💪✅🙌
The attitude is what makes it. Goddamn. Good work dudes. These aren't necessarily the first stories you tell around the fire, but they're damn sure the ones that get the biggest laughter and biggest smiles. Never change that. One of my fav vids so far.
Great vid. Sound design, the shots you set up, the creative angles on the casting. Crushed it. Even if the fish didn't crush the skwalas
Dude banger video! If you ever wanted a hand with with filming or merch stuff I live just north of salt lake and would love to help out.
What a way to start my Sunday
Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos, I greatly enjoy them all!! Keep having a blast doing the things you love.
Another masterpiece. 🐐🐐🐐
Love the dedication man
Despite the funk, your experience and sharing thereof put that cheer in my day. Tightlines.
do you film everything in in base format like 60p or 120p? or do you film most stuff in 30p and then change as needed?
Hello assalammualaikum mister Wild semangat terus and mister Wild , pemandangannya alam'nya indah banget salm dari kami di Indonesia 🇲🇨🙏🙏🙏🙏
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. Someone is pullin your leg, I've fly fished Montana from Libby to Dillion since 1958 and I've never heard of a hatch like you're talking about.
Great show. Nice fish at the end.
You're super young dude. No one your age has "made it" yet. Work, making money, life - whatever you want to call it. It is a grind. Jobs fuck'n suck. But you're super talented. Keep going man. Somehow this can be a sustainable and long-term business. Let your fans know what you need. More merch bought?
Now that’s “fishing”! So good!
This is so cool i love the videos
The big videos are great, but I don't think they're necessary for your success. The bond and interactions you guys have while fishing, and the fishing itself is what most people enjoy. No disrespect but I'm assuming most of us can't tell the crazy shots you got or editing you did. But as someone who designs and builds for a living I totally get being hung up on that "one thing" even if know one else will notice.. just have fun exploring and fishing with buddies, as someone with no friends that fish, that's what I enjoy.
Ok..... Hahahahahahaha! Had to get that out of my system.... yes, Montana springs are straight up Schizophrenic, I deal with it every year. Try to get in a little pre-runoff fishing, then you sit and wait for July. Glad you got to meet some legit locals though. Good no ya.
Dude I just found your channel. I grew up in the bitterroot! Awesome stuff man! Keep up the incredible content, from what I’ve seen so far it’s top notch 🤘🏻🤘🏻
