Trout were HOPPING on HOPPERS in Colorado! 

Couldn't agree more! Thank u for the feedback. It's an extra step...trying to decide if it's worth it to viewers!

Glad you enjoyed it

Appreciate the feedback...Definitely trying to figure out what works best!

Definitely a good day!

I appreciate that!

Yep got several tying vids on my channel

Definitely a reward for sticking around lol!

Thanks!

Exploring these small remote streams and learning what they hold is crazy fun...even when they start a little slow. The thrill is the adventure!

That's the great thing about going west. I've fished 3x out there!

He'd have a hard time with a 10' rod in those creeks The rods wider then the creek. He wouldn't be able to to swing and 10' rod with all that brush around him and his casting is limited distance. 10' rod would cause nothing but problems.

Yup, exactly what the other comment says. I use my 10ft on larger, less covered streams. 7.5 or my 8.5' fishes better in tight spots. I walk thru the 3 lengths of rods I choose/why in this video...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RS5mksxL190.htmlfeature=shared

@LooknFishy I'd love to do some hopper dropper fishing but here in NJ & PA, we just don't have the amount of grass hoppers as out west. I nymph a lot under a lightning football indicator. Usually to a size 18 egg I tie with a 22 or 24 rs2 emerger on the bottom with 7x, sometimes 6x. Id love to use 5x, make it a lot easier fighting these fish but the fights what we r there for

I don't name them in youtube vids for several reasons. I've seen first hand what hot spotting does. A guy named a bunch of streams in the driftless a few years ago. Prior to that I went for years and fished a few he named any saw low crowds. Now...one of those streams had 10 cars on it. Banks littered. Small streams like this can't take the pressure that comes from being posted on social media. Another reason is the hateful comments (not yours) I get...nearly every video someone leaves a disrespectful comment...if I named streams I'd be helping those types of people find amazing places to fish. BUT... I do share...more accurately trade with people. But that only works if you don't name them for the general public. I also don't hide anything intentionally and definitely leave hints for those that follow my adventures but those are often missed unless the vids are watched in order or only a few minutes. For example I've done 2-two month road trips and those trips are shared in order. In them I left the maps I used, talked about local stops for supplies, the national forest I was in, etc. ... some called it bread crumbs and appreciated that they found a stream how it looked in the vid. Some left an angry comment bc in their words, I shared too much...even a baby could find it. I also did 2 vids on how I find streams. In the end, there's no way to please everyone. I just consider my channel my online adventure journal but allow it to be public.

@@LooknFishy I appreciate you commenting back. Still love your content and I understand completely. Keep fishing colorado! I’ll keep a better lookout for some I’ve lived in colorado my entire life so I can usually tell where it is just by looking at it but some of the ones you go to are hard to spot. Again love your videos 🙏 just watched your most recent

Made a tying vid showing how: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O72lsumSuWA.htmlfeature=shared
