I definitely agree on that statement!! This might be a hot take, but I’d say clear creek is a better fishery 😬 but that’s my opinion, thanks for watching!!

@@andywiggens1069 thanks but I don’t fish redds. Like I mentioned in the video I fish deep, slow water during this time of year which is the opposite place of where redds are. I appreciate the concern though and it’s unfortunate that many anglers do so, thanks for watching!

I’ve heard awesome stories from back in the day, wish I was able to experience myself! Same goes for the frying pan, taylor, and cheesman. Thanks for watching!

@xaviergonfishin Yeah, I feel bad for you, younger guys, but hopefully you can all work to return what once was. DOW in all their wisdom took out premier boulders just below the old wood Bridge decades ago. Those Boulders housed double-digit bows, and you got there before sunlight to beat other guys to those prime Boulder runs. They took em out and made that ridiculous channel. Then arctic char in Dillon to diminish the Mysis shrimp. Got nothing good to say about CDPW.

🤣🤣 I should definitely do that for a video!

@@xaviergonfishin one fish, everybody knows the rules.

@@dankochanek8056 couldn’t agree more! I love the blue, thanks as always Dan 😎

I’ve certainly seen them caught out of the blue before, but I’ve never had the opportunity to tangle with them. I’m glad you were able to get both, definitely don’t hear that too often! Thanks for watching 😎🤘

@@headlinerish I tried my best in this video to show the flies I was using. I believe I showed 4 of them, either on the rig or in the fish’s mouth. But I appreciate the constructive criticism, I always am aiming to make videos that viewers WANT to watch and not getting tricked into watching. Thanks for watching!!

@@omardelamora1563 haha thank you, wasn’t action packed but definitely some cool fish. Thanks for watching!

@@lostwatersflyfishing thank you so much, certainly wasn’t what we were expecting but there’s always a way to get after them! Thanks for watching

@@currentfisher got really close!! Way too close honestly 😅 looking for that ice off for this lake in hopes to catch some other species as well. Thanks for watching 😎🤘

@@thomasfrank4051 thanks Thomas I appreciate the kind words!!!

@@thomasfrank4051 for a sink tip line, I like to run about a foot of 20lb, barrel swivel, and then 2-3ft of 16lb. For floating I run 4ft sections of each with the barrel swivel in the middle. Hope the leaders work for you!!

@ thanks for your time to respond. This confirms my suspicions that I’ve been fishing too short of a streamer leader on my float line. How long do you go on float line in extreme cases? Ever go longer than the 8’ mentioned above?

@ I wouldn’t go over 8’ personally, too much disconnect from your fly line to your fly at that length

When you're in Colorado, stop in Golden Fly Shop and I'd be happy to point you in the right place! Thanks for watching

@@xaviergonfishinthank you! That’ll be awesome 👏…ill be in

@@jonathansouthworth3342 thank you for the kind words! And I agree those pools are fantastic, too bad the ice is now showing up

That's incredible, I had no idea that Clear Creek had the record rainbow for a moment. I would love to see that photo!! Thanks for watching

@@andywiggens1069 haha yeah no kidding. That’s why I love fishing it with a 3wt to make the fight with the smaller fish more fun! Thanks for watching

Yes it was a juvenile rainbow! Thanks for watching

IMO, the Eagle is worse.

@@06mcrowley Is the Eagle a creek?

Clear is definitely a slippery one! I avoid wading it as much as possible haha

@@06mcrowleythe eagle is definitely not an easy wade! I’d say my least favorite to wade is probably the Fork, definitely my fair share of dunked waders there 😅 thanks for watching

A man of class I see

Glad you enjoyed and thank you for the feedback! I’m always looking to make videos as transparent and educational as possible!

Clear Creek is such a fantastic fishery so close to Denver!! Can’t get enough of it 😤🤜🤛 thanks for watching!

@@xaviergonfishin of course, I usually go higher up on Clear Creek to go for cutthroat so do you mind me asking where this is on Clear Creek

@@FranklinFlyFishesStop by Golden Fly Shop and I'd be more than happy to point you to this area!

@@xaviergonfishin ok, I might stop by tomorrow

Thank you for your concern, but my hands are inherently getting wet when I’m grabbing a fish that’s in the water. No need to add an extra step if my hands are getting wet while actively grabbing them! I’m all about fish safety and handling as I appreciate these fish as much, if not more than anyone else! Thank you for watching and I most certainly appreciate you giving awareness on fish handling, it is certainly not talked about enough! Gives me a good idea on a future video … 🤔🤜🤛

Oh yeah they stick out like a sore thumb! Always appreciate the watch Dan!!

I think some of those fish actually do get that way from spawning they knock around in the gravel and fight each other so hard that they knock slime off of themselves. Hoping the author of the video dips his hand in the water before handling the fish

Thank you so much for the kind words, definitely was spoiled this day!

North carolina

It’s a pegged bead rig! I would make a video but there’s a ton of information on the rig already and I don’t want to be redundant!

Thank you for the kind words, definitely going to be making a lot more content in the future!

Back in February, just some old footage I never edited! Thanks for watching

The hike from the lower parking lot isn’t terrible, but there’s still some elevation that’s gained and lost. I would say the majority of people can do it, but deckers fishes just as well and is much easier access! Thanks for watching

@ Thank you very much for the information.

Thanks Dan, appreciate you watching!
