“Ridiculous Dry Fly Action on the Saint Joe River in Idaho for Gorgeous Westslope Cutthroat Trout”

Producer: FlyFishDan

“The Saint Joe River, located in the Idaho Panhandle St. Joe National Forest is a 140 mile long protected river system and is claimed to be one of the highest navigable rivers in the world with a mouth elevation of just over 2,000 feet.  The upper reaches are loaded with native Westslope Cutthroat Trout and is a protected fishery, catch and release only.  I taught my stepson Koby how to fly fish as a teen, and now in his twenties we regularly fish together and make the trip to the Saint Joe River every year – I am thrilled to see how he has grown in the sport and especially when he makes the perfect cast to a rising fish.  I tried to capture this special place in this short fly fishing film and the exhilaration of what it is like to see him hook up with one of these special residents.”
