Nice video. Glad you enjoyed our amazing state. We have been absolutely crushed since 2020 with pandemic outdoor enthusiasts that have a significantly lower sense of responsibility to the environment that enables our unique fisheries. If you watch this and come to Montana, be kind. To the fish, to the rivers, to the wilderness, and to the good people that live here.

Well put. It's definitely a world class fishery and needs caring for.

There's a reason I've visited that state for fishing for the past 32 years. I fish mainly the rivers around Yellowstone National Park and inside the Park too. Last year I was backcasting over the head of a bison grazing just behind me on the Firehole River. I got out of there as soon as I noticed him.... 🙂

Just some stunning scenery too....and Bison...Montana is 😍😍😍

The Mo is an incredible river to fish, and it's massive. Glad you got to come enjoy the waters!

A true life experience! A stunning presentation and one that captures the nuances of Montana and its people. I cycled through there in 1980 and have similar memories etched in my brain. Regards from NZ.

Lovely experience for you. Enjoyed the film. But Montana is having some serious environmental problems with its cherished fisheries.

Thanks, will let Uncle know :)

Easy fishing out West…don’t believe that it is hard to hook up. Try fishing on the East Branch of the Delaware … you will be humbled right quick!!

Gotta love those $2000/day vacations. Sweet. For us 1%, this is wonderful...

Come see me then $400us a day accom food and all the fly fishing you want in the Rangitaiki river system New Zealand I fished 2 days ago and got 7 rainbows and browns similar sized on dry and dry/dropper nymph rigs from my little drift boat. only saw one other fisherman for the whole day which is unusual as haven't seen another for the previous 5 days fishing. It is a long way to get here though.

How was the Big Hole? Fish populations there have been falling dramatically.

Boats, guides, fancy lodges…I am guessing you need deep pockets for this type of fishing?

@@struck2soon - nope, we didnt go on the trip either mate. Some types of trips just cost more, that's the world we live in. It's all good, anyway you can fish is the way we like to support. Gosh, it sure would be nice to do a trip like that though!

Great video! I'm working to plan a trip myself. My schedule currently allows for an early June trip - first or second week. I'm a bit concerned about run off. Any recommendations?

Sorry, but what a boring fishery. Sure, it suits the Americans, who never want to take one step too many under their feet. I would never do something like that, let alone pay for it.
