Fishing/Backpacking the South Fork Flathead River - Montana 2010

Quick video I made of my whirlwind 3 night solo backpacking trip to the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Western Montana. Amazing river, I plan on many return trips in the future.

Oh, and the fishing is terrible and the area is infested with grizzly bears so no one should ever go there. Ever.

How many miles roundtrip was your hike? Amazing video!

[ReggieUW]

@bwrig09 I think I went in about 10 or 11 miles and stayed a couple nights in one spot just hiking up and down river and hiked back out on the last day.

One of the better Bob Marshall videos I have seen on youtube. Most of the videos totally neglect to show the scenery. Thank you for posting it.

P.S. What wt rod where you using?

[ReggieUW]

@NJDrew77 For sure it's one of the most beautiful places I've been, I was pretty surprised at how similar it was to the hikes I've done here in Washington. I was using my 3wt, it's my go to backpacking rod, although I think a 4wt would be perfect.

I am so lucky to live in Montana now.

Flathead cut throats rule. Best dry fly fishing in Montana easily.

Great stuff. Those are the days you think about when falling asleep at night in the winter.
