Our destination is the Idaho backcountry with Chris Hunt—award-winning author, seasoned fly angler, and expert blueliner from Hatch Adventure Travel.

Today, he breaks down his process for discovering overlooked streams and shares some of Idaho’s fishiest backcountry areas.
You’ll get tips on fooling spooky fish, finding big trout, and wild stories—mountain lions, Alaska’s Dalton Highway, Patagonian chilies, and soul-crushing mosquitoes. Drop your truck in low lock and get ready for a wild ride!
