Researching the St. Joe now and found your channel. Gorgeous river. Quite the drive for us in Caldwell, ID. But I would love to get up there to watch the Lochsa Madness, the town of Wallace, The Great Burn (Mallard-Larkins) Wilderness and the St. Joe River. I'm not a fisherman, used to when I was younger, but I read that the St. Joe is one of the best fly fishing rivers.

This is a great video of the Saint Joe. I love the angler’s enthusiasm. I fished the Saint Joe several times and love the river . I just hope not too many folks discover it and it gets overfished as happened to many of the best rivers in Montana.

Love the St. Joe. Spent most of my youth and early years fishing there. Still go occasionally even though it's a bit of a drive. Typically we fish the upper river (Gold Creek and above). We seldom fish lower down as there's just too many people there.

Nice vid. I was just up there this past weekend. Not a lot of fish but I caught a couple of nice fatty cuts. A couple of things: There is a lot of private property up there and its hard to distinguish private from public. Also a lot of steep bank but I found some nice holes to access. The road above Avery was closed due to fire activity but later this fall when it opens, I'll be heading up there. If you're heading up the St Joes there are roads on both sides of the river. Take the railroad grade road, it has better access to the river.

Just got this recommendation in my feed, Dan, and didn't realize this was your inaugural trip to the Joe. I am surprised at how high the river is if this was shot in July; there are more seams in that immediate area that expose themselves when the water is lower. As you showed, the Joe is great for quantities of medium sized cutthroat (and many from the nursery also...). I plan (as of now) to be on that river two weekends in July, although I said the same thing last year and ended up spending the month building a deck; let me know if you to pop over again 😉

Hey Dan, You are getting amazing with the videos. The bug repellent looks like the Thermacell. I bought one for the camp and it works great as long as there is not a strong wind, but if there is a strong wind you most likely don’t need to worry about the bugs.

Trolling occurs when someone knowingly disregards the truth and spreads false information. For instance, if one claims that "always names the waters he fishes in Montana and Idaho," it would be a misleading statement. You have chosen to be that individual, spreading false information, which is exactly what trolling is.
