fly fishing on fish creek and camping on the Clark Fork river. Destination Alaska. 
Fly Fishing on fish creek, then drove up to the Clark Fork River to hang out for a bit. Slowly making my way up to Alaska.
I am John 68 years old and I live full-time in my Jeep Cherokee XJ exploring Fly Fishing , and living the dream.

Hey Jeff I always got my eyes out for bears and moose. I cook outside every day maybe that’s why my food taste so good.
Glad you ended up finding a great spot to relax and fish. Looking forward to seeing more of your journey. Have fun!

Thanks I’m glad you are enjoying my videos. My videos are pretty much true to life and I do not try to put in drama just to get views. It’s all about living the dream and just doing it.
What a beautiful campsite. I remember you being there last year and I always admired it. Beautiful views, cell phone service, decent fishing, good food and great beer. It doesn’t get better than that. Always looking forward to the next. And you better get your butt up to Alaska because it’s gonna be winter there before you know it

Good to see you again John. A nice double! Looks like run-off is over and the water is clearing up. Still raging and muddy in Colorado. So I will have to golf more until the streams lower and clear up. ;-)

Passaic River 😂😂😂 I worked in some factories adjacent to Passaic River as a teen early 90’s. Dundee CAnal was there. Caught lots of big carp, 5-12 lbs under the mulberry trees by putting a mulberry on a hook and letting it slowly sink no weight. The carp were locomotives!!!

I too, have worked in factories near Passaic River, but I never finished it. I’ve seen people catch carp and bring it home to eat. That is just so disgusting. Most of my childhood, I lived about a block away from the Hackensack river. Just a polluted river with a lot of mud. So much different than my trout fishing in the northwest.
Your in my backyard! It's funny though, I do all my fishing on the Clearwater. Mecca for most flyboys.
