Backpacking and Fly Fishing in the Elkhorn Mountains, Oregon

Спорт

It's been a while since my last video, life gets busy, but this one was a super cool experience.
My dog Jasper and I took a 2 night backpacking trip to the Elkhorn Mountains in Eastern Oregon to try to find some solitude and hunt some high altitude lakes for Brook Trout with a fly rod.
The scenery around camp in the lakes basin was amazing and we got to see a big herd of mountain goats throughout the trip.
We also did a side trip hike up Elkhorn Mountain to take in the view.
The mood of this trip was calm and peaceful and hopefully this video conveys that. Normally I don't make videos this long but splitting it up didn't seem right. So grab a snack and beverage and take a trip with me.
Enjoy.

    I’m in Sinaloa Mexico and it’s obvious to me from here and through the screen that Jasper is the best. @@ryangoesoutside

    Dude awesome video! Found your video while learning/looking for people that fly fish high lakes in Oregon. Caught my first 2 brookies in a creek last week. Taking the fly rod into the great 8 lake basin this year, Always spinning rod fished successfully but hoping fly rods will do it too! keep the videos coming!

    Thanks man! There are definitely some good high lakes to fish but it can be tough with a fly rod sometimes. I spent some time throwing rooster tails with a spin setup when I was younger but I love the art of fly fishing so that's the rod I usually pack now. Good luck out there, hopefully you find more gorgeous brookies!

    Great video. I gave you a sub, and look forward to checking out more of your content. We have a bit of overlap in places we fish and film. Tight lines!!

    Thanks man! I was probably using Adams flies most of the time, they are pretty much my go to. Although I did pretty good towards the end of the trip using small wooly buggers too.
