Doesn't matter what season, I'm always on the fly!
I've been lucky enough to bounce around from Midwest, Mountain West, Driftless Region, and the Southwest chasing everything that swims.
I am going to do my best to document the bites I'm chasing and the flies I'm using to make it happen.
No secrets with where I fish and what I use.

Is Montana "ran through"? Summer in the famous fly fishing town
Like many desperate fly over anglers, a trip this direction was nothing but a bucket list item, no more than a retirement pipe dream, a last chance before you die trip to experience the “land of shining mountains”. As if a wish was finally granted from years of boyhood day dreaming, A naturally inviting opportunity arose a bit sooner than expected.. and I had a choice to make. Should I spend my entire summer fishing the famous watersheds in and around Missoula Montana? Well.. Let me ask you, what would you do if you had that chance? Without further hesitation I packed up my bags and dove right in.
To any angler, the pure potential of Montana is enough to overwhelm the senses. Most of these systems stretch on forever and you could drown yourself in a sea of maps trying to track down that perfect bite. When the angling possibilities are nearly endless, differentiating opportunities is by no means an easy task.This summer was long, and a lot transpired. The best way to encapsulate my time in this special place while maintaining some form of structure would be to break it down by chapter
Chapter one will be a brief look at the mostly overlooked blue lines snaking through every drainage. Next will be a look at the many and mighty roadside rivers that converge within Missoulas city limits. Now it wouldn’t be summer without a trip to the alpine, So chapter three will be a peek at the lonely blue dots smattered among the many towering peaks. Finally I will focus on the seldom seen backcountry options deep in the heart of the wilderness.
Searching high and Low and I mean Lolo, this video will pass over the lakes rivers and streams spanning from the bitterroot, to the clarks fork, and especially the Blackfoot drainage. This is by no means a comprehensive breakdown of everything Montana and subsequently Missoula has to offer, in reality I barely scratched the surface of this behemoth angling iceberg.
I’m going to do my best to recount each of these adventures and how it shaped the overall narrative of my summer in one of the trout fishing capitals of the world. I hope you enjoy the views as much as I did and maybe learn a thing or two about Montana along the way.

The best dry fly fishing of my life... Most people associate Alberta with Banff and Jasper, undeniably beautiful but unfortunately crowded. If you also seek out solitude and wild places, leave the crowds behind and keep heading north. Just know that search might drag you out of your comfort zone and put you face to face with real danger. Monsters in the woods are more than just fairy tales up h...
Solo Adventure in the Montana Wilderness: 3 days Fly Fishing in Wolf Country

Wolves are majestic and certainly have their role in the ecosystem.. but seeing them this close was quite the surprise.. Montana is often advertised as the wild soul of the West. The landscape is raw, the elements are unforgiving, and real monsters still meander through the forests. Going solo in the backcountry may seem dumb to most, and describing the duality of a lonely trial to those indivi...

Where is this river at?
Hey i know this was posted years ago but they seem to hit top water in august? Tons of water bugs. I tried sexy walts with no luck only top water.
is that in the bighorns
Great content. Your narration is so cheesy it’s insane
The Pat's Rubber Legs is the truth East or West when the time is right. Great bow catch!
I've followed you for several years. I really like the way you write. You 25:13 25:17 remind me a lot of Tom Mcguane
Great vid! Well done. Where is the link to the video of the Fly Recipe at 38:00?
Which stream were you guys on?
Really love fishing northern Colorado I think it’s some of the best freshwater!fishing in United States
Dude, you’re an artist.
from Boulder here -- I blame you for my "sick" days. Love your content, dude. Keep it up and come on back to Colorado!
Another well produced and narrated film... thank you. Those looked like (silvery) West Slope Cutts in the Siamese Lakes. But were there some Yellowstone Cutts in the other lake (56:00 - 58:00)?
PhD level (Trout 401) at its best! To work each of those grueling and meticulous steps, and then get the victory on film? ... PRICELESS.
WHERE IS IT LEGAL TO TARGET BULL TROUT? WITH THOSE MONSTER STREAMERS? or were u targeting browns?
I've known Blake for 10 seconds and already want to share some whisky with him by the campfire.
As a new fly fisherman, mainly inspired by the adventures on your channel, I really appreciate this. I’ve looked at every sling, chest, waist packs and as someone who day hikes into utahs alpine lakes, they didn’t make sense for me. Glad to revert to a company I already love, KUIU. Only complaint is I feel you are missing a gun, my friend. To each their own but there are scenarios bear spray won’t help you in. I’ve also had scary situations with stalking cats and 2 legged predators as well. Stay safe out there brother. Glad to see others carry a TQ.
What did you throw at crane creek? I can not for the life of me find anything they’ll pay attention to. Awesome videos man
I love living in Missoula
Great video. Just wish you wouldn't name where you are at. People are trashing Colorado.
Great video! I love the Gila;
Incredible video! Thanks for all your hard work.
Locals here are getting sick and tired of people plastering their videos of fishing spots where every Tom, dick and Harry will seek these places thus increasing the pressure on our local rivers and lakes. Enough is enough, try to enjoy your trips to our waters without bragging to the world how great you are at fly fishing.
Have camped out on the north rim. Thanks for showing me what it looks like down on the river.
big bulls are in the bob marshall wilderness
30”+ size bulls on the north fork of the blackfoot. had my fly line broken several times and landed a 36” . I wasn’t fishing for them it happens
grass is always greener up stream 😉🎣👍🏾
Home Sweet Home 😉🎣❤️
reservation has the jocko and big trout
27” brown under higgins street bridge in missoula 😉👍🏾🎣
cutties are nice . 3 lb cutty in 6 inches of water i’m not saying where but your close
you’re in my territory and I know 😉👍🏾🎣
lower black foot is fished too much and the fish are weary
north fork of the black foot 😉👍🏾🎣
Didn’t walk to the M eh 😉👍🏾
Muddler 👍🏾🎣😉
Rock crick Bitterroot Clark Fork Black Foot Fish crick and more come to Montana 🎣😉👍🏾
It was paradise while I lived in Missoula fly fishing everyday. 20 years 😉👍🏾🎣
Oh !!! A river still runs through 😉👍🏾🎣🦬” Missoula “ 🎣😉👍🏾
big bull’s you’re going to have to hike further back 😉👍🏾🎣
That was epic great story telling man looks like u get a ton of views enough for this to be your full time job haha how rad
Great video man!
Which camp site is that I wanna see animals!
Is this guy like an ex poet?
Always enjoyed fly fishing these two streams. Did good with a bead head pheasant tail nymph and a Prince nymph. I'd like to try it in the colder season some time. Wondering if you could weave some cord to close up the gaps in that goofy net?
wow! that golden!!!
I know this may seem like not a big deal because these are trout, but managing your line and getting the fish on the reel without the excess is and can be very beneficial for landing fish without distractions. Anyway, what a video, amazing commentary, and enthusiasm for days.this video is awesome
Really wish they would outlaw flies above a certain length on bull trout streams during key times of the year. Its probably the best way to manage them and it seems to me there is plenty of other viable streamer water in the state.
hey man, I'm about to move from Idaho to Iowa to go to college there. I know this is the unwritten rule of fishing, but are there any spots you would recommend for me? thank dude
Do you ever fish from a boat? Do you ever hit the spring branch in the winter for smallies ? Great video, good content.
I know the take away from this video was supposed to be the FASADD, but why did it take until now to figure out that tying on a tippet ring on while it’s still on the spinner latch is a whole lot easier! 15:04
