It’s been 21 year’s since I rafted the middle fork, thanks for taking me back. Also your Sawtooth series has inspired me to get out get hiking and do Alice Toxaway loop next year. Thank you all your video work is excellent!

Got to admit that I was skeptical when I saw this. "Oh great, another Middle Fork fly fishing video." To my surprise, you not only were able to tell a story, you really captured much of the essence of the Frank, and the essence of the river trip experience. I can appreciate the effort it takes to set up the night time lapse when you just want to get to bed, and getting that early morning hike to get a scenic view. Well done.

I have always wanted to go salmon fishing and never have had the opportunity, thank you again for the video. Why aren't drones allowed in the wilderness, and what was that thing on the end of the string to release the fish?
@JonConti
3 жыл бұрын
So first off it’s trout fishing on the salmon river (I know confusing). It’s mostly cutthroat trout you catch a type of rainbow trout. Drones are considered motorized vehicles and motors aren’t allowed in the wilderness typically. And that thing was a tool invented by Helfrich to release the fish without having to touch them. Keeps them healthier 😀

Once you factor in tip, lodging, shuttle it’s not cheap. I’d say 5k a person. That does include everything. All your meals, gear, fly rods etc.. Of course if you pull a permit and do it yourself it’ll cost you a whole lot less. But it’s not an easy river. We had a rafter die two weeks ago on it.
