SELWAY LODGE, ID

Idaho backcountry, truly an aviators paradise! Visited Johnson, Upper/Lower Loon, Thomas, Indian, Smiley, Krassel, Big Creek, Shearer, Fish, Moose, Cayuse. Five onboard cameras rolling to give you as much scenery as possible. Two GoPro Max 360 cameras allow for an "out of airplane" experience. This was a dream trip that we wanted to record for our own memory but hope we can entertain you to a degree as well...maybe even entice you to experience the same adventure yourself.

Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!

Pieces of bone found along the Selway River in North Central Idaho belong to a 21-year-old hunter who has been missing since the SUV he was riding in plunged into the fast-moving water four years ago.

Jessie Ferrieri of Mahopac Falls, New York, was one of six men in the vehicle when it flipped into the river in May 2018 in a remote backcountry area about 60 miles west of Darby, Montana.

Two of the hunters, who were from the state of Georgia, made it to shore. The bodies of two more, 21-year-old Koby Clark of Bozeman, Montana and 22-year-old Reece Rollins of Terrebonne, Oregon, were found in the Selway weeks after the crash.

But Jessie Ferrieri and his brother, Raymond Ferrieri, remained unaccounted for, even after investigators retrieved the sunken SUV from beneath the river's surface. The surviving hunters told investigators that they did not see any of the other men make it out of the water.

According to the Idaho County Sheriff's Office, a section of skull and three teeth were discovered near the Shearer Airstrip in August 2020. Caretakers at the Selway Lodge found another skull fragment downriver from that area a month later.

The bones were sent to the Idaho State Police Laboratory for DNA extraction and comparison, and were determined to belong to Jessie Ferrieri.

"ICSO again extends its condolences to the Ferrieri family," the sheriff's office posted.

Raymond Ferrieri remains missing.

The Idaho County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone rafting or kayaking the Selway River, or anyone backpacking or traveling alongside it, to keep an eye out for any additional human remains.

"If any unusual bones are found, please secure those items and immediately notify ICSO or Idaho County Coroner Cody Funke," the sheriff's office posted.
