- This is the second installment of our trip to the St. Joe River in Idaho. We headed east to North Idaho to fish the fabled St. Joe River teeming with Westlope Cutthroat trout. Come along and share in the fun!
Link to Part 1: • First trip to fish the...
I grew up on this river we fished it every weekend age 74 still fishing it.
The river is the same today as it was as a 12 year old boy. The road is different. The trip from St, Maries to Avery about hour today. The trip to Avery back in 1957 was all dirt with switch backs.No one fished it but the local people. The dust was so heavy you could not tell if the leaves on the trees were green from the dust from the logging trucks. The trip took about 2.5 hours. Today it's all highway. Back it the 50,60, The fishing was great the limit was 25 changed to 15 1959. Today it is all catch and release. Fishing pressure is heavy.
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Your kids will have a great time. If your kids our older 14 15 they might do alright fishing the joe it;s hard river to fish. If you don;t mind brush Falls creeks the place to fish for kids lots of brook trout 25 day limit. The creek is 15 miles out of St, Maries up the joe road . The kids have a good time once you get down to the creek. Fish just about every cast no one fishes it any more. the trout 12 to14 inches.

Fun little river. Visited after seeing the first videos.
Nice!
This was even better than part 1! Beautiful fish guys! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Noel glad you enjoyed it!
You made fly fishing exciting with your excellent photography skills. The St Joe is so picturesque.
Thank you so much Ursula! Glad you enjoyed it. Do you get out and do much fly fishing?
Hi, No, I used to fish with bait. I like to kayak and swim and I love to camp at the St Joe. In fact, I'm going tomorrow! First time of the year.
Sounds like lots of great fishing etiquette on this river! Nice! Thanks for sharing
That seems to be the way most places! Or they fish right on top of you. Nice that you had a day on a river with some good fellow fisherman!
You killed it on this video! Your camera angles and all the shot were great love the narrating and watching you guys catch fish was nice to see! Keep casting!!
Thanks Nate! Appreciate you watching and letting me know. Hopefully i can get some more trips in and share the fun.
Hard to beat camp and fish, especially in the backcountry. Love the shots!
Yeah nothing like being able to wake up and go catch 10 fish before breakfast :D
Awesome video. Great camera work & editing. The St Joe could a destination trip in the future.

Love the shots and music for that 1 min clip starting around 2:50. Great video, keep it up!
Thanks Adam appreciate the kind words! Have you gotten out fishing yet?
Great video - moving up to Harrison and can't wait to wet a line on this and other local rivers....
Very beautiful river, and nice filming!
Just found your two videos and watched. Those were NICE fish for The Joe, although I am fishing elsewhere that time of year; maybe I need to adjust my schedule to accommodate more trips into the Autumn season. Normally The Joe is good for numbers and a fish over 14" is the exception (in the summer). Well done video and thanks for not being too specific about your locations. The river is no secret, but it is LONG 😉🎣
I usually pick falls because there are less crowds and fits with my own schedule better.
Awesome cinematography brother, I love fishing that canyon 😉😉
Even better than the first episode, and I loved that one!
Textbook catch and release fish handling I’ve seen I video. Especially the Big Fish!
Forgot to add this comment to Part 1 video. Very well done. Thanks, enjoyed them. New subscriber.
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker I guess it was the CZcams algorithm. I check out FF videos (particularly in the west). Yours came up and of course the St. Joe left a really positive impression on me. Love native trout and the places where they reside.
Great video, nicely edited ! Looks like you guys had a blast , when fish start rising it’s game on !Good job and some beautiful trout! Tight lines !!!
Yes , I agree, nymphing is my favorite method also. That’s some beautiful water out there , we have some nice water here on the east coast too ! Try to fish right through the winter , depending on conditions! Tight lines!
Mark Steudel I’m just outside NYC , can be in the Catskills in about an hour and a half, east and west Branch Deleware River , beaver kill , the Croton watershed has some outstanding fishing, but the Farmington in Connecticut is my favorite and holds large fish !
You guys are having way too much fun! Thanks for the intro to the St. Joe! Next year for sure, on my list. Great videography, photography and editing, especially the stills and diagonal split screen effect. New sub here.
Mark Steudel Fly Fishing Stories The southeast, Alabama to be specific. But spend about a month each summer in Colorado, this year the exception.
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker You won't be disappointed. A video on my YT channel highlights some of my favorite streams.
I don’t know what camera you’re using but WOW!!!This was such a professional video. What an amazing fishing trip. Loved every second of it. Thank you for making this for us to enjoy. Makes me want to strive to do better with my videos. Very cool.
I prefer below Avery in the fall.. the big fish push towards middle of the river after the floaters leave.. if you are planning to go again I can lace you with some nice spots
Wonderful filming!
Such an awesome video man 🤙your editing is miles ahead of mine! Haha
Nice video man- just had knee surgery so waiting to get back out this summer.. I fish the Lochsa and Kelly Creek for cutties here in Idaho a lot- great for dries.. at the vise tying now- cheers
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Btw, this is Tim Smith, Bonnie's husband..lol, fishing can be tough in August depending on weather and fires but you can also go up some of the colder tributaries and go after bull trout- rough gravel road but can be worth it-
favorite river in the world.
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker I have been fishing it since 1993. I used to go twice a year, but since we had kids it has been mostly every other year. It is easily the prettiest river I have ever fished and the trout are always looking up.
You should give Kelly Creek a try as well. Or head up to BC and try the Elk.
100% on the camp fishing hole.
You caught my first steelhead on the swing at a camp fishing hole!
Awesome vid. Subscribed!
Nice balance beam technique
I will be hitting the St joe in late July to mid August. Look for Okie license plate. LOL
Haha awesome! You’ll love it! It’s such a fabulous place
On my bucket list!
So worth it! Where do you live?

@@alexanderjoyce3305 oh wow! Thats quite the jaunt. Well when you come over make a big trip of it and go fish a bunch of different areas
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Yep that's what I would do, thanks for the video well shot and edited and a great insight into Idaho flyfishing.
@@alexanderjoyce3305 If you do end up scheduling a trip and have some questions about the Joe feel free to ping me, happy to help if I can
Awesome video! The joe is my favorite place to fish! My girlfriend and I fish it usually 5-6 times a summer. How far did you drive up?
Beautiful video man . Done really well and I recognise most of those spots . I fish the Joe a lot and never have I caught that many fish , If you dont mind would you share your flys and nymphs as I'm going back this August and could use a heads up . Thanks .
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Very nice ,thank you . What time of the year were you there ? You might have mentioned it but I dont remember seeing it anywhere . I plan on leaving here in March or April to head out for the summer , pup is ready , rods are ready and camper loaded , just waiting for my C19 Vac . Thanks in advance .
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Thank you , I'm tying mops and other things for my summer trip , all summer !
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker I definitely will .
Nice work or should I say play 🐟
Nice video! With you fishpond switchback belt system, what kind of net attachment are you using? Do you use a lanyard/magnet that attaches your net to the belt system? I have the same fishpond belt but yet to set up a lanyard attachment for my net. Always feel like a need a 3rd hand to hold my net when taking fish off the hook to prevent my net from floating away downstream.
I do have a zinger in the back but most of time I just stick the handle between my legs, it’s annoying putting the net away attached to the zinger.
May I ask, what month was this trip?
Sure, it was October
Amazing video and photos 👏😎 What rod & line setups were you gentlemen using?? Thx
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Thx for the reply & info👌 sounds like a great rod. I found the rod ! I ordered one up💥💥 I appreciate your time. Keep up the videos 😎✌️
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Good info! I will check that leader out. Makes sense too. Thx for all the info & help Mark
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker I definitely will! Thank you
What time of year was this?
This was in October.
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Thank you!
@@jaytheist You bet! Thanks for watching
@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker thanks to your video, I am making plans to head there next fall! :-)
Nice! Good luck!
