Part 6 is the final video in the Fly Fishing Southern Colorado Series. The Conejos River was great but I was looking for a more remote experience. So I decided to pack up and drive to a more remote stream. Spent my last full day in Colorado watching brown and rainbow trout sip dry flies, double dries and the occasional dry/emerger. The trip was such a cool experience! You can find the other videos from this trip below.

@kenlewis11 3 года назад

I am familiar with the Conejos River. The area around Platoro Lake is quite remote and some of the most beautiful mountains I have ever seen. Was there last July4th weekend. It was a bit crowded. We went downriver to local public access area right off the highway just an 1/8 mile. It was great. No one there for hours. I put my 12 yo daughter in some boots and she had a ball fishing and catching trout. She is hooked on trout fishing. The year before, I flew a private airplane into Alamosa and fished the Conejos, Elk Creek, and La Jara creek. Got rained out so I went around to South Fork the next day and fished Beaver creek. Plenty of fish in there.

@LooknFishy 3 года назад

We probably passed each other, that was the weekend I drove out...definitely busier than normal. That entire area is really cool, love exploring it more each summer!

@kenlewis11 3 года назад

Drew LooknFishy Oh you were there that weekend? Did you run into a couple girls from Clovis, Mn that had a flat tire on awful rough road up to Platoro. Red car. She had no spare tire! And they had a baby boy with them. I saw them later going down so I assume they made it home.

Really enjoyed this series! Watching these six videos is the next best thing to being there this summer. Small stream fly fishing at it's best.

I'm still trying to figure that out for myself. 🤨

@LooknFishy 3 года назад

Thank you! I really enjoyed creating it and will do more like it in the future. So I wear a hat with an attachment for a gopro. Basically, I wear it for the cast and catch, then remove it and hold in in my hand for the release. Takes no time and doesn't add any extra stress to the fish.

@briankelly6113 3 года назад

Wow! What a stream! A lot of really nice fish out of a little creek. That's the kind of creek that makes dry fly fishing look easy (except for the wind). Noticed that you seem partial to Orvis rods, what are you using? I have a 1962 Orvis Battenkill bamboo that I was given by a man who was a fishing buddy with Chief Justice William O. Douglas, it's rumored that Douglas gave to the rod to the man whose name is inscribed on the rod but I can't prove it.

@LooknFishy 3 года назад

Wow, what a cool story. I've been happy with Orvis. Pretty much live in the middle of no where and order everything online...they've always delivered on time and made returns easy.

@patroell 3 года назад

Hey Drew me again with another question as I just found your channel and can't stop watching haha. So my question is, how do you know you're allowed to fish a stream? For example you said to get to this stream you drove to the end of a road and parked. In another video I saw you were at a stream that you said was unnamed so in that situation are you good to fish? Or are there ways of checking if the water is restricted? Main reason I ask is because I'm actually road tripping through CO at the end of April and would love to go to smaller streams but I always worry about trespassing issues.

@LooknFishy 3 года назад

It can definitely be tricky. Each state has different stream access laws...CO the property owner, owns the stream bed...so no wading. But in MT, you have a legal right to wade if you access the water from public land but u can't leave the high water mark. Most of the time I try to stay in the national forest. There are a few times I run into private land there but not often. I recommend scanning the state fisheries websites before you go. In most cases, you'll find where the public access area. Just a heads up. ..this is not fool proof. I've been screamed at several times and leave. But in CO the owner doesn't have to mark their property, so I just politely apologize and move on. Not as much an issue in the national forest areas!

As a guy who only fished for reds and tarpon down here in Florida, how would I find out where I can camp and fish in Colorado? Looking for spots like this it’ll be my first time fishing for trout

@LooknFishy 3 года назад

Forest Service lands are public and most all allow dispersed camping. So basically, I just pick a national forest, find some water and either call the ranger station to check the camping and fire restrictions as well as other restrictions or visit the website and read up. Then I just drive there...never had an issue finding a place to camp. Plus there are tons of forest service campgrounds which I mark as back ups...but never needed one. Keep in mind, FS roads can be terrible...the more remote the worse they are...what looks like 3 miles could take 3 hours and skirt the edge of a 500ft cliff lol! So be flexible!

I cant get away from people no matter how far i go now. Hiked 2 hrs with the dog only to come up on about 10 people within a mile. Cant find the seclusion to save my life. Great vid btw.

Dang, had that happen a few times and it sucks. Fortunate to have some flexibility that lets me avoid weekends and holidays. Thank u!

Yep, we owe this to the democratization of the sport and to the insatiable greed of the FF industry. The saying goes- “don’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs...” Well, that ship has sailed!

Does Colorado have a trout challenge? I know they are part of the Western Native Trout Challenge but they only have 2 trout for that

@LooknFishy 3 года назад

Honestly, have no idea. Not something I usually check out...might in the future tho!

Pretty sure i just fished that creek about a week ago and got skunked. I was just visiting. The water was soooo low everywhere! Is this WC? Curious what weight rod and what fly you were getting hit on?

@LooknFishy 3 года назад

Definitely would be low right now, that was in June. Took my 4wt for the wind, but I would have taken my 3 if it weren't gusting to 30 that day. Fly was my top shelf hopper pattern, sz 14, it's in my tying vids. Great bug that I've used in CO, NM, WY and the driftless!

@TheGhillieGuyYY4U 3 года назад

@@OfficialParkit I’m in SoCal now. There are actually lots of places to fly fish. Spots near Big Bear and Arrow Head, Piru Creek, East and West Folk of the San Gabriel river, those are just a few spots for trout (rainbow and brown). You could fish the LA river for carp, something I need to try at least once. There are actually many other spots as well. I’m near Pasadena and I’ve caught 16-18” trout not far way
