Fly Fishing a Small Stream in Colorado full of BIG Browns, Brookies and Native Cutthroat trout!

Спорт

    Some excellent fish in there! Glad to know bears to sh** in the woods. Also glad to see you didn't get hurt on that fall. I have jammed wrist and fingers pretty good slipping around. Broken rod is worst case scenario on those slips and falls. Loved the brown from the big log/laydown as well. Gorgeous fish!

    Love your videos, man! This is one of my favorite areas on the planet to fish and was told to me by the Smith's who used to own the Fox Creek Store. RIP Greg Smith! Did you fish the lower below the reservoir? If not, the next time you're around the Conejos area, go to the end of the campground and park at the gate. From there you can hike about a mile and a half or two past the steeps of the canyon and drop in to fish it back up towards the reservoir. It has a lot more deep pools than the upper does, but I love them both! Also, lots of small natives above the falls of the upper.

    I've always asked the boys for information when I hunt and fish. They spend so much time riding their bikes and stuff outdoors thay they always know where the animals are and are often eager to point me on my way. Anyway, I'm an expert on everything outdoors myself but this kid down there was pointing me to the big prairie dog towns around there and told me about " them rattlers down there". He was from texas ya know, so he knew them snakes were special. He told me that they is called big timbers which he said is a cross between the ones below on the prairies and had mated with the desert ones that wind there way sideways up to there to get cooler. Said they are along the streams eating all the trout then lay up in the woods to rest. Said you should always wear snake boots or at least leather cowboy boots with heavy blue jeans there. I thanked him for his information and thought I'd share his story with you.
