Fish On with Coach Steve
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 4 ส.ค. 2021
I grew up fishing all over Kansas chasing largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish! When I was in high school I discovered fly fishing and all the trout rivers in Missouri and Arkansas! After graduating from KU in 1997, I moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to be a park ranger and fish for trout every single day! I own a drift boat with a friend and chase trout all over Colorado and Wyoming. The last several years I have taken the family on extended vacations in Florida chasing Red fish, Pompano, and the latest obsession: Big sharks on conventional tackle kayaking out the bait! Oh, I’m also a tennis coach here in Loveland, Colorado and run overnight adidas tennis camps at Colorado State University! Like, share, and follow along for tons of fun, educational, and informative content! Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the spot! Can’t wait to go leave my worm containers on the bank!
@@nicholasvargas1661 hmmm ok
Nice catch!!!
@@tokyoboi07 thank you!! Keep fishing!!
Boy you lucked out with no wind, it's one of the windiest place in the state. Browns were so pretty.
@@kentfonda8245 I was thinking that also! It made for great surface fishing this way but I always say wind is your friend with a nymph and balanced leach rig….
What beautiful animals, one of my favorites
@@Paint75 agreed thank you!
Lovely catch! I really miss the Rockies and catching cutthroat trout. Nothing quite like it so far as fresh-water fishing goes, especially alpine lakes. Being above the tree line, no one else around, it's heavenly. Seeing your video, makes me miss being in the mountains even more.
@@eclecticx thank you for that! Couldn’t agree more! Where you at now? Long draw is definitely up there….road doesn’t even open until July 1st each year!
@@FishOnwithCoachSteve Costa del Sol (South of Spain), so a wee bit away. LOL Might be back in the US in October. Thinking about including the Rockies in that trip. Lived there for several years, just outside Estes, in Grand Junction, and outside of Divide (atop a mountain with nearest neighbor about ten miles away - wonderful that!).
@@eclecticx wow! Sounds like an adventure filled life …God bless and safe travels if you make it out this way….I will be out there with you if you wet a line!
@@FishOnwithCoachSteve More like serendipitous rather than adventurous. Spend at least half my time here in Spain. Greater quality of life than in the US, but that's not to say there aren't great things about the States. Should I reach the Rockies (and I should - have some family in Fort Collins), I'll definitely be fishing. :D
@@eclecticxvery well spoken, hope you make it out this way!
Nice catch
@@arrebarre thank you! Keep fishing!!!
@@FishOnwithCoachSteve Yes sir!
Here today! Gone today!
Awesome
@@brianhickenbotham2094 thanks brother! Going fishing sometimes puts you in beautiful places!
That’s a nice fish and a nice fly rod
@@NCFLfishing thank you so much, that was fun! Fish on!
Cool video. Happy Birthday to your mom coach. Fish On brother
Thank you! Appreciate that comment….keep fishing!
@FishOnwithCoachSteve wish my Mom.was still here to root me on. Best wishes Steve
@@JonnieBluesthank you again….
Nice fish
Thank you!
Nice man in gonna be following your channel for sure.
@@davep3930 thank you so much, appreciate that! I’m headed out tomorrow for another trip! Keep fishing brother!
Fish On
@@JonnieBlues let’s go!
I live like 30 minutes from here, I live in fort collons
@@YokyooBS nice! Keep on fishing!!🎣
I live in Berthoud twin
Awesome!
I love this spot
@@BreckenBossgaming fun pond for sure!
I fish there all the time
@@Shades12345 awesome! You get into any larger bass? I want to go back soon…..
My biggest catch there was a 11 inch bass.
@@Shades12345 gotta be some bigger but it’s a fairly small pond and so darn shallow….fun spot to catch tons though! Keep fishing!!🎣
@@FishOnwithCoachSteve ya
Barker is a tough res to fish
@@user-fl9mm1ry8r I guess so! Tough time of year also but closest I have come to skunked in a long time anywhere lol
Whats the best spot in NoCo.?
@@joseluna8763 for bass? Horsetooth for smallies and the ponds in Fort Collins are good for largemouth….the series of ponds near harmony and I 25
☹️
@@kurtdarrow6687 not good at all….
What time are you going out there cause with the weather the way it is just seems like it’ll be too hot by the end of the day
@@arbusco yep this was a few weeks ago and mid morning….I agree, August can be tough so I wouldn’t even try unless it was very early or sunset right now
Great info
@@JonnieBlues appreciate that, thank you! It really is a key for catching these trout….I didn’t mention this in the video, but this type of casting like that with tons of line out below the bobber usually requires that you’re on a boat…..it’s about impossible from shore and land unless absolutely nothing is behind you
I believe that is a bear river cutthroat, which is one of three cutthroat strains that have been stocked there. The bear river and yellowstone can be tough to distinguish between, but I lean toward bear on that one. Great fish!
@@skicefishing thank you so much for this!! That’s super cool and I had no idea …we have also caught a 24 inch Brookie out of here trolling ….
Aye!! I've lived here my whole life! Used to fish it "illegally" when we were kids. I love that it was made public. Doesn't quite cover the loss of lone tree. TPC can eat it hahaha
@@user-dg9ms5by9h I hear that! Thanks for chiming in and keep fishing!!
Why are you fly fishing with a soft plastic and jig head? 😢
@@singlemom3260 oh I mention that in the full length episode on my page (ep 19)….it was just to mix it up, have fun, and show that you can use conventional lures on a fly rod! It’s fun!
Make sure to reserve a spot at Gopher's Gulch off of hwy 66 and county road 5 near mead Co has a pond and plenty of amenities
@@oh-_-cain5679 sounds great!
Diamond lake
What state are you fishing in??
@@TrevorTaylor-go3fc That’s the Laramie plains lakes in Wyoming and I live right across the border in CO
The biggest Ive caught was 18 inches thats a nice fish
@@user-ft8ye3qe8f thank you!! It was a good fight and 18 inches is still a big one in my book!
I love seeing my old fishing spots now I live more in Greeley and fish a lot of Fort Collins
@@user-fr5ot4zs5v that’s awesome! Keep fishing!!🎣
Where in ft do you fish? I’m looking for new spots to try out
@@infinitevids406 Horsetooth for trout, smallies and walleye….the Poudre river, the ponds off harmony and I25 for largemouth bass….all kinds of options
Red feather 🪶
@@boxcarchildrent.v.8477 great area, love Dowdy
Beautiful fish! On a fly?
@@Brandon-cn7se thank you! Yes, this one put a bend in the 9 foot 8 weight! This was caught on an olive balanced leach
@FishOnwithCoachSteve excellent! That's what I use.... for Steelhead.
@@Brandon-cn7se sick!! It’s crazy how effective those things are…..thanks for the comment brother!
I used to catch some nice ones on the other side of the fence but now they have the signs up and people look at you like you’re crazy
@@devond3691 I hear ya! They don’t seem to enforce it but guess you’re not supposed to
I been stocking that pond with brown trout for years
@@gifzilla1818 aha!
@@gifzilla1818 Not sure if I would advertise that, isn’t that illegal?
They'll do the same thing they did to Lone Tree. They'll sell enough properties around it and make it private. All the ponds I used to fish and all the fields I used to ride motorcycles and run through have fences around them. Its know wonder kids now days can't get out and do anything.
@@homiesapien828 that’s a really good point…..I bet you’re correct and that sounds much more damaging than You Tubers like me “ruining” spots
@FishOnwithCoachSteve I think you're kind of missing the point. It's not individuals that are ruining all these spots where you used to be able to do all this fun stuff. It's society getting greedy with being free. I grew up in larimer county and spent most of my time exploring trails/paths that the city has now put pavement on and charged taxpayers to use... I'm pissed. And the more people that enjoy it the more it'll cost to use.
@@homiesapien828 I totally agree 👍
Yeah, but TPC's new golf course was like super important, dude... what a sad world we live in
Thanks for the video. I’m trying to learn as much as I can before I make the trip up there in mid august. Hopefully I can hook into my first grayling!
@@westoangling Thank you for the comment! The key is light line and small presentation. The water is clear, but they are easy to catch with small baits and small flies. I love the double nymph rig on the fly rod with a strike indicator with two nymphs size 18 or so. If you see rising fish switch to dries and if you can’t figure what they are taking on the surface throw a wet fly to the rise! They will take it! If there’s a chop on the water with some wind you will do best …..if there’s no chop make sure to twitch the flies
@@westoangling oh also the hook set is a feel thing….it is a lighter hook set compared to trout since their mouths are so soft
@@FishOnwithCoachSteve awesome, thanks for the tips! Can’t wait for it, will explore as much water as I can while there but most excited for the chance to catch these guys!
@@westoangling go crush it! I keep things simple on this channel….its not rocket science to catch what is a bucket list fish for many!
I didn't know u can use traditionally sof plastics with a fly setup that really cool
@@esjac619 Thank you! That was the point of this episode for sure…doing something different that was extremely productive (although they were small fish)! Anything heavier would not work for casting very well….but something small and light like this was perfect for the fly rod that I used
@@esjac619 what’s more fun than catching a ton of fish on a 8 1/2 foot 5 weight fly rod (when you normally would use conventional tackle)? It was a fun experiment for me for sure
Just have to hope there’s enough forage for the bass to keep growing
@@mikedasilva145 amen brother! I get that they were small but still fun!
Keep it up man
@@Vipersgt19 thank you, appreciate that! Keep fishing!
That was a nice size Bullhead!
@@bigears270 thank you!
I love 💕 you ❤
Awsome dude
@@Vipersgt19 thank you! It was super fun….keep fishing! 🎣
They biting today?
@@Built_MagoYT if you don’t mind the little guys I think it will be on fire all season! There’s thousands of them!
@@Built_MagoYT has to be bigger ones also….
Nice to see some fishing in the old spots we used to hit growing up! Man, used to live right across 287 from there.
@@DamienHellegaard that’s awesome! This could be a great bass spot in a few years!
You can definitely lip the bass brother just not trout
@@RiverManJak yessir! Also avoid pike and musky 😂
Nice fellow Steve. 👊😎
@@hiddenamericachannel why thank you! Keep fishing!!🎣
Here before this goes viral

@@AngelHernandez-fp8yt Thank you! Have you been up there? It can be very easy at times
Did you get that first one back rights side up lol?
@@Tailwatertakes I started to edit that out and then left it….crazy enough I snagged that dude by the tail and revived him and he swam off lol
@@FishOnwithCoachSteveI figured - I chuckled at your “ohhh” reaction cuz I have been there before!
@@Tailwatertakes classic! I was hoping nobody would get mad at me….I mean I’m legally allowed to smash 4 of their heads in on a rock and eat them and I threw them all back….but Karen’s are all over 😆
I thought this video was underwater at first
@@mfzion5031 it could appear that way at first huh!? 😂
