Fly Fishing Harsh Conditions For Trout!! (First Fish of 2024)

WINTER TROUT FISHING COLORADO!!
In this video Andrew goes out on his first fly fishing mission of 2024 to try and catch a few trout. Using his favorite jig streamer he managed to be successful catching many wild brown trout and a couple of rainbow trout / cutthroat trout hybrids (cutbows)! Fly fishing in the winter can be tough, especially with overly cold weather.
I hope everyone enjoys the video and is having a great start to the new year! Thanks for watching!

    You are way better than you think at fishing Andrew and I have enjoyed every video you have made and shared with us. Thank you for taking us to this beautiful place and slaying it. I'm looking forward to a new year of getting out there myself but also can't wait to see what you and Jon bring us this year. And always tight lines. Thanks, Tony

    Really cool watching you pick apart the smallest spots of quiet water and hooking those fish at close range. Less casting keeps the ice on the rod guides to a minimum too. Good stuff Andrew and thanks for posting

    I really enjoyed this one proving that despite the cold there were still masses of fish about. My was it cold, I realized just how cold it was when I converted those F°s into centigrade. You should get yourself some neoprene gloves, they'll keep you warm, are 100% waterproof and not bulky so you don't have to take them off to unhook the fish. Fabulous scenery let's see more of it, really looking forward to your next fishing session video.

    Amazing that these fish are so active, including willing to chase your streamer, at such low temps. How do trout, which are obviously cold-blooded, manage to have enough energy? They don't even have much fat for insulation....

  • @williamstull1471

    The one with the orange bottom just looked like a cutthroat to me, but I’m no expert and that’s just what I think.

    I think the fish you caught the second day with smaller spots was a cutthroat. Cutbows tend to have larger spots more like Rainbows, but you can't tell for sure. Anyway, the location you were fishing has all three varieties plus Browns. I am not very good at streamers. I like your technique. I will have to try it. What was the streamer you were using?

    Hey brother, awesome video! I’ve been a subscriber of yours for 3yrs now, but don’t really comment much. I finally pulled the trigger on my first fly fishing outfit from Orvis, a 5/9 to be exact. So I’ll be doing a lot of question asking here soon Lol, and one of my first question to you is, how is it that you got these trout to bite when you’re standing right in front of them? If trout have such great eyesight, how did they not spook off when disturbing the water when you’re walking up to them that close!? Jigging and dangling a fly in front of their face just feet away, I would’ve never thought that, that it would be possible to do what you just did in this video, if I had not seen it with my own eyes! Thanks for the video, tight lines! ~ Manny ~ 🤙🏼

    'Harsh conditions' ? You were catching big trout on every cast, just by flicking and jigging the streamer. I should only have such harsh conditions!

    Harsh weather conditions! Fishing wasn’t terrible 😂 Also to be fair this was easily 8 hours of fishing that made up this video. If it were every cast the video would be over an hour long. Thanks for watching!
