That is as close to paradise as a fisherman can get. Reminds me of Wyoming in the early 1980’s when I could catch loads of 13-19 inch browns and rainbows in streams even smaller than that one. So blessed to have had that opportunity.

Been "lurking" for some time while following your fly-fishing adventure across the inter-mountain west. Yes, there are these little gems to be found and once you find them they are typically a closely guarded secret. As a fellow fly-fisher and resident of MT, I appreciate your effort to keep these gems from becoming overrun and destroyed from receiving too much fishing pressure. Also, your efforts to keep from over stressing the fish after catching them is noteworthy as are your efforts to release them back into the stream. You have gained another subscriber.

You are lucky man !, the quality of these fishing hidden spots in the wildest mountains is the dream. God bless their conservation.

When I was living in Colorado, I went with a friend and his family to break down their summer camp, before the snows made it impossible to get to. He told me to bring my ultralight or fly rod with me and the smallest lures or flies I had. It was up in the Rockies in a remote area and we had to use 4-wheel drive to get there. It was heavily wooded, with a small meadow that had a tiny stream about 3 feet wide running through it. This stream didn't have any "monster" fish like this video, but it was filled with Brookies behind every rock! We got his camp broke down and packed and did some fishing. I went home with a mess of tasty Brookies that evening!

Love trout small and big just a great time !!

That looked like real grizzly country. Been to Wyoming and Yellowstone 5 times in the mid to latter 1980s and tried never to fish alone in the backcountry. And rule #1, make a lot of noise. But the fishing opportunities out there are just fantastic. Dries like pale morning dun, royal coachman and Dave’s hopper worked really well. Back then the crowds disappeared just before Labor Day. So I tried to plan my trips just after the holiday. Funny how cold it could get within a couple of weeks of the crowds leaving. A lot of fond memories. Totally magical place with very agreeable trout.

Same. I got lucky with grizzlies but it was always in the back of my mind. The things we'll do for native trout.

The best trout fishing video I've ever seen. You're good! Beautiful location... No people.. no guides... No hint of civilization!

So many big trout in so little water, fishing heaven, watching you in awe and will be dreaming of finding a stream like this, thanks for the video.

The late Ed Zern, long ago writer for field & stream magazine, discouraged people from learning to fly fish. His reason was, we can biuld more bowling alleys and golf courses but we can't make more trout streams.

Great video! Beautiful stream, beautiful fish!

Here I am "trapped" in northern Minnesota winter......and your post has relaxed me and dropped my blood pressure to the point of making my cardiologist smile.....the places you find are always so peaceful.....some day I'll be a wanderer as well....thanks for sharing.

This brings back memories. Grew up in Cape Breton (NS) and my father and I fished many streams that looked just like this especially up in the highlands. He was a magician with the fly rod, I never had quite that skill but still good enough. Most likely all fly fishers watching this, but if you’re not one, you should give it a try. A fly rod and a stream like this is a fun and beautiful as it looks. Thanks for the upload buddy, cheers from Canada.

I'm from upstate NY and used to camp with my Dad in Canada and the Adirondacks in the late 60's early 70's. The Adirondacks had truly awesome Native Trout fishing. Beautiful fish. One year when we returned, there were no Trout anymore. They were all wiped up from "Acid Rain" from NYC. (sulfur dioxide, or nitrogen dioxide emissions) I will never forget how horrible that was.
