Join us on an epic two-day fly fishing adventure in the stunning Eleven Mile Canyon! 🌲🎣 Nestled in the heart of Colorado, this scenic destination offers pristine waters and breathtaking landscapes, making it a fly fisher's paradise.
Great video man. I enjoy hearing the actual sounds of fishing versus some of these channels that play loud obnoxious music the entire time. So, thanks for that lol. I was at the canyon a few weeks ago and pheasant tails were the ticket then as well. My wife actually got a nice rainbow on her first cast of the day. I’ll be up there again in two weeks. Hopefully it’s still fishing well.
Appreciate it! I definitely try to get straight to the point so I try to avoid any unnecessary edits. The pheasant tail sz 18-20 was killing it the whole weekend until I lost it towards the end of the video and had to resort to other flies haha
Nice fish. As one other mentioned, you need to get your line within the bottom guide of the reel. It will make a huge difference in line management. You probably already figured that out 🤔
@@AWB5555 thank you for bringing this to my attention! As you may have noticed the line REPEATEDLY would snag on the reel when attempting to reel and I think this is the solution to my problem.
Great video. I was there over Memorial Day and it was packed. That canyon is amazing. Smaller fish - but still a lot of fun. Yes - that was a sucker. The closer to the dam the bigger the fish. Thanks for posting.
This was filmed a week before Memorial Day weekend and was still packed! I think I narrowed it down to a longnose sucker but am not 100% sure. Most of these were caught a ways down below the dam but the big fish definitely tend to hangout up there.
Love the Canyon. Can’t believe there were no other people in the camera shot. Like you had the canyon to yourself. Never had that happen. What a great day for you!
I definitely targeted some spots in between campgrounds. Mostly everyone fishes right off the road but if you hike down into the canyon you can avoid seeing a lot of people. Hope this helps!
@@ericdedionisio8236 to be honest, I have no clue. I’ve been using this rod and reel combo since 2019 and have always wondered if it’s meant to wrap around the reel so often as it did in the video. I will definitely be fixing that and thank you for bringing it to my attention!
@@davelopes5909 Every single fish was safely released (as shown on camera) and if anything I’ll be more effective at landing fish now that my line is readjusted. Receiving constructive criticism is the only way anglers can learn how to be better in the future.
Wet your hands. You seem to dry hand the fish, which is bad And - IMHO - you spend a lot of time with the fish out of the water. I know you’re filming but think about keeping them alive. When you dry them Off and keep them out the stress can kill them later - even if you don’t witness the last breath Tight lines
