I live in Colorado and love to tenkara and fly fish creeks and rivers.
December Dry Fly Fishing On A Tiny Spring Creek | Tenkara Fishing In Colorado
Early December, 2024. I finally got to explore this tiny spring creek! Some of the brown trout were still spawning, so a treaded lightly and tried to find actively feeding fish. I was hoping for some dry fly biters and my efforts were rewarded!

Streamer And Tenkara Dry-Dropper Fishing A Half-Frozen Creek | Testing A New Tenkara Rod

Late November, 2024. I decided to check out a new stretch of a nearby freestone creek and see if there is still open water. I also wanted to test a new Tenkara rod I got recently. There was, it was pretty, fishing was tough, but fun!

Wild Brown Trout On Big Dry Flies In Fall | Small Creek Tenkara Fishing In Colorado

Late October, 2024. I went to my local creek to try out a new October Caddis pattern as a dry dropper dry fly. It worked fine, however after I snagged it on a tree I switched to my new favorite purple mini chubby as a single dry fly and things turned up. Fishing never goes as planned, which is not necessarily a bad thing:) Setup & Gear: Rod: DRAGONTail Mizuchi (dragontailtenkara.com/collections...

Early October, 2024. I decided to make the drive to revisit a spring creek I fished last winter! I wanted to see what it looks like in Fall. I only had a short window before it got dark, but enough to fully enjoy this unique stretch of water in its Fall glory! I didn't manage to catch a sizable fish as I was hoping, nevertheless the browns I caught were as pretty as I remembered. Instagram: ins...

Early October, 2024. I decided to go to my local creek and test a mini chubby chernobyl dry fly that I started trying. The fly was successful (depending on your the definition of "success"). I did set a personal record for most missed fish in a day:) It helped that it was a beautiful fall morning, and I didn't have too high of expectations.

Three Species Of Trout | Dry Fly Fishing In A Storm

Late August, 2024. I stopped at a roadside creek that holds Rainbow, Cutthroat, Brown, and Brook trout and managed to reel in three of the species. Since this is a wider, shallow and clear stream, it made sense to use a western fly rod for longer reach and quick length adjustments. It started a little slow until a storm came through and got the fish and me going! It ended up being an exciting s...

Mid August, 2024. I had limited morning time to explore a new stretch of a small creek I have fished once before. It started off slow, however once I switched to a dry fly, things picked up.

Love the creek. Beautiful!
Beautiful little creek
Nice! A sunny day in December is welcome news already; add some nice fish, and life is good!
Absolutely!
What a cool little creek! Trout taking a dry in in December is a bonus huh? Neil
It sure is:)
Ново,красиво и интересно място! Водата на този поток е кристално чиста,хубавите рибки се чувстват добре там😊 Благодарим!❤
Beautiful little stream!
Keep that crap out of our local spots
Tenkara is for cheaters
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat’”
It sure is a beast:)
@@zisontheriver Dum. Dum. Dum, dum. Dum, dum, dum. Etc! In fact, in terms of small trout taken on a mini streamer, I once caught a Brownie’ of just over 2” on a size 10 brown Muddler minnow on my club’s stretch of the River Alyn between Chester and Wrexham in North Wales. Talk about ‘Eyes bigger than belly’! Great video, by the way! I subscribed on the strength of it! All the best! from Oswestry, Shropshire, U.K.
Wow, some very tough conditions! But you did really well. That looks to be an ideal tenkara stream. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!
Ya, it’s great for Tenkara!
Great vid! Beautiful setting and the fishing was pretty good for this time of year. Thank you for brightening my day!
Glad you enjoyed it!
И зимата със своите неудобства не е пречка за любимото хоби!😊❤
Looks like fall has made way to winter huh? Not so much here. We had 90 degree temps just last week in North Texas! Nice video! Neil.
It’s getting there:)
Awesome video. I really like that you don’t film yourself with an hour long intro and outro. Less talking as well. Just nature and action I film in this same manner ❤
Thank you! I’m glad you appreciate that:)
Nice runs
Yes, fun stuff!
what creek?
Sorry, I don’t mind naming popular rivers, but I don’t list creek names. Thank you for watching!
I know that creek! Fun in the fall.
Yes it is!
Another fun video for all of us who have work getting in the way of fishing! 😁 Looked like an amazing little river. Thanks for posting. Keep em coming! Neil.
Work does have a way of getting in the way of fishing:)
Благодарим за видеото и приятната среща с красивото есенно Колорадо! Много успешен риболов и красиви риби! Браво и до следваща среща!😊❤
Yes, avoid hand-lining. Thanks for the vid!!!
That’s one neat local creek! Another really nice video - thank you!
Nice River for dry fishing
It’s a fun but difficult one:)
nice catch and release
Чудесен клип!
Well done - quite a nice outing. Sorry about your fly rod, but having a tenkara along was good planning.
Браво за клипа и подробния коментар!
Ya, it saved the morning:)
This is where I use my 5'8" fiberglass. Love that little rod!
I’m sure it’s a lot of fun!
Quite an interesting little creek - but, wow, what a casting challenge! I’d say you did quite well. Have to admit, I was a little worried a moose might make an appearance!
I try to keep my eyes and ears peeled:)
Благодарим за приятната видео среща и споделените моменти на това различно ,интересно и много красиво място! Труден,но успешен риболов,браво!❤
Challenging creek to fish but lot’s of hiding places in that vegetation. Next time try a nymph, it would be a lot more visible to fish hiding under the mats. Good work!
Ya, I could’ve, I just didn’t want to:)
What a nice little creek!
Nice creek nice fish!
When tying larger foam body flies (hoppers, spiders, beetles, etc.), I push the shank of the hook with enough pressure to create a slight offset in the bend and point. It seems to increase hookups with the foam flies especially, but I’m at a loss to explain why. What a great local creek you have!
So the tail of the fly points up more?
@@zisontheriver Yes, just at a slight angle. It gives the hook a slightly wider and offset gape and seems to improve hook sets.
A nice creek for tenkara - perfect scale, lots of good pockets, and a tight canopy. It’s additionally rewarding when you have success with your own fly creations. Probably not an accident that you had success with the nymph…that creek looked like excellent wet fly water. Nice work!
Looks a lot like my fav streams in the Green Mtns of VT, near Manchester-Sunderland) where I use my Mizuchi. The brookies look the same size too. Colorful.
A perfect little tenkara creek. Very colored up brookies! Thanks for sharing your experience in this gorgeous location.
A very special thank you for this video. Every year for over 35 years I used to make my annual trek to Colorado for late summer / early fall fishing. On streams just like the one you share here. But advancing years (and declining health) keep me home this year. Your video today sparks many happy memories - thank you for my vicarious Colorado fall trip!
You are very welcome! We are lucky to have experienced this!
Невероятно,красивата река с тези камъни и есенните багри,голямо удоволствие! И много резултатна работа,браво!
What a beautiful creek! Tenkara pocket water perfection. I mentioned I was in Colorado exactly 3 weeks ago. Amazing how much the trees changed already! We just missed the “fall foliage tour”! Nice video. Keep em coming! Neil
Ya, this was before it was even officially Fall:) Southern Colorado is probably peaking right now. It’s easy to miss:)
Nice
Nice video! Cooler weather is setting in huh? I spent the last two weeks in Southern Colorado living “off grid” in our camper. Left the Cimarron River @ 4:00am for home(North Texas) and it was 39 degrees. Got out of my truck to fill it up w/diesel in Amarillo in the Texas panhandle and it was already 90 degrees and heading up fast. I so wanted to make a “U-turn” and go back!
2 weeks off grid sounds amazing and impossible:). Fall is my favorite season in Colorado!
Lovely location and gorgeous browns. Nice work!
Спокойна река,красиви есенни багри,удоволствие е да си сред такава природа!❤
whats your setup?
It’s in the description. The flies are in the video.
@@zisontheriver Thanks
Quite a nice river! Well done!
south platte?
No, Blue River
A very productive day fishing! Those underwater shots were gorgeous. What a pretty creek!
this is my jam. love these kinds of peaceful fishing videos. I love catching gorgeous brook trout like that too.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s so worth freezing for a bit just to get to fish these streams:)
Quite an outing! I really liked those underwater release shots and the surface dry fly takes. Your videos keep getting better and better - I’m sure your subscriber numbers will really start to climb soon. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I love making these videos and I’m glad someone is enjoying them:)
What a great looking stream for Tenkara! Thanks for sharing! Neil
