The Colorado River Strain of Cutthroat Trout grow much larger than the Greenback Cutthroat we caught in the previous few episodes. My personal goal was to catch a Master Angler cutthroat trout (20 inches) while I was in Colorado. In this video my brother and I fly fish for these trout in a high elevation alpine lake deep in the Rocky Mountains. The cutthroat were amazingly beautiful and the lake has to be one of the prettiest lakes in the world. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for this Colorado series. The fish and the scenery were magnificent. It lifted this old fly fisher’s heart not only to see the high country once again, but to witness the joy you all experienced there. Well done - and thank you!

@tightliningmd 3 года назад

Even a blind fish finds a fly occasionally :) Awesome stuff man. That lake back drop is just unreal. Can't imagine sight fishing for them, and the patience needed for them to come to the fly, completely take, etc. I know thats a whole other ball game and super hard, compared to fishing on a stream and getting right drift. Just an unreal cutties and congrats on the big bucket list fish.The thing that gets me is all the wind. Is that normal, because of elevation, and being down in that canyon? If so, that makes it super tough too! Great video my guy. Love the series!

@hardmanfishing 3 года назад

Yeah I'd assume that's pretty normal. I mean we were over 12k feet in elevation and there was no trees or vegetation up that high to stop the wind. I'm sure some days there is no wind but I bet most of the time there is. Thanks for watching Mike! Glad you liked the series.

I did? We occasionally keep the fish in the net in the water so they can be nice and healthy when we release them. Trust me the comment are far worse if the fish doesn't perfectly swim away than if we keep it in the net for a few seconds. Thanks for watching!
