Wild Fish Wild Places

Denis and Dreu travel to the southern reaches of the famous Patagonia region in South America in search of the largest Rainbow Trout in the world! Jurassic Lake is the unofficial name of this amazing fishery and they will soon see why. Rough travel and windy weather is what the crew is in for on this trip but it is all worth the effort!

The WFWP crew shows off some Downtown El Calafate, Argentina with a stop to this unique wine shop that has a serious connection to the fly fishing culture. Denis and Dreu take a trip to the river and find some monster fall run rainbow trout then finish the episode with an absolute HOG in an area where Denis has some history.

Denis gets dragged by the production crew to the Moreno Glacier just outside of El Calafate but quickly admits it is an amazing sight to see. The boys take an epic hike to the "Aquarium" where they have a perfect day for sight fishing some Monster bows. A few of the largest fish the crew has ever brought to the camera on this episode!

WFWP heads to the Bristol Bay region of Alaska to chase King Salmon. Traditional back trolling of big plugs on the NakNek River at the beautiful King Salmon Lodge is the setting for this show. Giant King Salmon make their return to the rivers and creeks where they were born, to spawn and then die as Mother Nature shows off her brilliance once again.

Remote Alaska is always wild and unpredictable and this fly out day was no exception. The WFWP crew get dropped off on a river to chase Arctic Char and Rainbows but have an up close and scary encounter with a pissed off brown bear. The boys chase more kings on a cloudy day and bring some west coast gangster tricks to the Alaska party that prove valuable.

Denis heads to one of his favorite places ever, Lake Athabasca to chase Lake Trout moving shallow to spawn. Lake Athabasca is the 9th largest lake in North America and one of the most remote fisheries around but at Lakers Unlimited they have the place dialed. A lot of big lake trout come to the boat and when the weather gets nasty the boys go chase trophy pike!

September in Saskatchewan and the Lakers are moving in shallow. Captain Bruce and Denis head out to try and find these fish that have been hard to locate. Everything comes together and the Lake trout do seem to be unlimited!

Denis and Dreu travel to the Island of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia to chase King Salmon on the salt. Sandspit adventures is home to one of the premier fishing operations on the Island and the king Salmon are there in abundance! The boys drop crab pots and get ready for a royal feast provided by the ocean.

At Sandspit Adventures they take pride in putting you on big king salmon day after day, this day we may have pushed ourselves a little bit too far. A big trip out to Marble Island to chase fish and the wind changes and comes out of nowhere! Time for a slow rough ride back to safety and big salmon.

The boys finally get some weather conducive to getting offshore to chase bottom fish so they take a ride. Bottom fish and black bass out of the kelp beds are happening and Chad from Sandspit Adventures is there guiding the crew. After the long day of bottom fish Denis and Dreu hike into a remote creek to chase coastal rainbow trout and Dolly Varden.

The WFWP crew meet up with good buddy and guide Justin White. Justin is a guide at the KSL Alaska lodge in the summer and runs a drift boat all winter and fall on the Sacramento River for Rainbow trout. The boys drift the big river in Justin's drift boat and use some long leaders and indicator rigs to get to these fish.

The crew rally's for a last minute trip as Mother Nature tightens her grip on freezing the north country solid. Denis and Dreu push through a snow storm and frigid temps to hammer big trout! Big fish, snow storms and not a soul around, this is why we love our state.
