It’s always the same, you have to overcome yourself all the time, give all you have, and sometimes it’s hard, I admit it, especially when you tell yourself that you still have to go an extra mile upstream, to be where “the others” don’t go, to be sure you’ll find wild trout that are not seeing to many fishermen. It’s all in the head they say, but we know you reach a point where it’s also physical and your thighs burn like if you had been skiing downhill, fast. You feel a little dizzy, you are tired and in pain but you know that once you’ll be up that mile, you’ll have time to cool down, have a drink, eat a little a look at the river where those trout are. The extra mile.

Steep walls, jagged rocks, slick boulders, and an unforgiving river bottom – these are all significant traits of many of the American west’s great canyon fisheries. There are no long drives down sketchy backgrounds, or even an obscene amount of hiking – but many points to descend into one of these canyon fisheries are downright intimidating. In the pilot episode of The Extra Mile series, we attempt to find the path of most resistance, and, with any luck, some great fishing to go along with it.
