It is known as the Hollywood Hole because everyone and their mother can watch you fish. People walking to school. People eating brunch. People sitting on the porch outside their Doubletree room. People walking from school. People eating lunch. People walking downtown. People walking away from downtown. Everyone can watch you flail about or shoot precise casts to a pod of fish.
The rainbows seem to be stacking up in the Hollywood Hole preparing to spawn in the Clark Fork or up the Rattlesnake. As a result, some big fish can be had on worms, skwala nymphs, and flashback pheasant tails. Nothing on the surface, but I am willing to nymph this time of year, if there is promise of a size-able fish on the other end of my line. Watch the video in HD on vimeo and enjoy some "urban" trout fishing.

Looks like you gave the audience a pretty good show. I think has been my favorite video thus far. I like the music and editing on this one for whatever reason.
thanks jay. there was a lady sitting on the deck of her hotel room, who called out her boyfriend to watch. It is a weird feeling to be watched like that.
Thanks for your kind words. I really like the Blockhead song as well.
haha.. sweet video! it was all good, the editing, music, and fish.. nice work!
thanks travis. rattlesnake trading co. is a mere .6 miles from the hollywood hole.
righteous piglets
indeed gary.
Nice work,and the only shakiness is due to Missoula's atrocious pothole scene.
@Anon - Indeed, the potholes are out of hand. i wish i could use the potholes as an excuse for poor footage throughout the year.
Thanks amazing! Sometimes in the GSMNP the people driving by the river will stop and stare. "OMG, it's a fisherman! How rare!" There are times they even wave or yell " how's the fishing?" I think they're convinced that we're part of the show in the Park. :) LOL
As always a really nice video!
PS - are all the fish out west that big? holy cow.
Thanks Owl. The tourists definitely take the most interest. I think I might be in a couple photos from a couple's vacation photo album. A women was sitting on the deck of their hotel room and called her husband/boyfriend out after I caught a fish on the first cast. A couple photos were taken. It certainly is not a familiar feeling.
Unfortunately, not all the fish are that big out here. but, before spawn they stack up and the big ones are easier to fish for.
Nice video and rainbow catches! The trip out cracked me up...nice editing to make it look like you couldn't wait to get there! At least you stopped at the red lights! LOL.
thanks rd. my trip there was a whopping 10 minutes through town. a long....long 10 minutes.
