Great video man. I enjoy hearing the actual sounds of fishing versus some of these channels that play loud obnoxious music the entire time. So, thanks for that lol. I was at the canyon a few weeks ago and pheasant tails were the ticket then as well. My wife actually got a nice rainbow on her first cast of the day. I’ll be up there again in two weeks. Hopefully it’s still fishing well.
Appreciate it! I definitely try to get straight to the point so I try to avoid any unnecessary edits. The pheasant tail sz 18-20 was killing it the whole weekend until I lost it towards the end of the video and had to resort to other flies haha
Great video. I was there over Memorial Day and it was packed. That canyon is amazing. Smaller fish - but still a lot of fun. Yes - that was a sucker. The closer to the dam the bigger the fish. Thanks for posting.
This was filmed a week before Memorial Day weekend and was still packed! I think I narrowed it down to a longnose sucker but am not 100% sure. Most of these were caught a ways down below the dam but the big fish definitely tend to hangout up there.
Nice fish. As one other mentioned, you need to get your line within the bottom guide of the reel. It will make a huge difference in line management. You probably already figured that out 🤔
Love the Canyon. Can’t believe there were no other people in the camera shot. Like you had the canyon to yourself. Never had that happen. What a great day for you!
I definitely targeted some spots in between campgrounds. Mostly everyone fishes right off the road but if you hike down into the canyon you can avoid seeing a lot of people. Hope this helps!
Your line/reel are killing my OCD right now. The line gets fed between the reel case and towards the guides, not outside the reel case. The improper feeding of the line is why you keep tangling on the back of your reel (and possibly the case of some of your lost fish). You’ll also wear out the line faster when you put a fish on the reel. The line with rub against the reel and the friction will wear the line out unnecessarily too fast.
Is there a reason why you have your fly line rigged to go over and outside of the bottom of your reel?

@@HighAltitudeAngling yeah - higherr up towards the dam can be hit or miss. More consistent further down. That canyon is beautiful.

New sub. Great video, beautiful canyon. Love that you don’t overset and yank the small ones out of the water. Good luck and keep the content coming.
Appreciate the support! More videos coming out soon.

how far down the road was this? Looks pretty close to the dam to me
Only one of the clips was right below the dam and the other clips were further down the canyon towards Springer Gulch Campground.
@@HighAltitudeAngling Oh okay sweet! I appreciate it!
That’s a Pike Minnow….commonly called a Squaw Fish
Appreciate the feedback! I’ve definitely heard a lot of broad suggestions regarding the species but this one definitely nails it down. Thanks!
How do you have your camera mounted?what size fly?
The mount is called an action hanging neck mount. But most the bites in the video were on size 18-22 flies.

I love fishing the "C" but them suckers are getting a dirt or weed nap if I hook one.😐
pretty stupid and fucked up, considering they're native (as opposed to rainbows & browns)
Suckers are alright haha they can definitely put up a good fight!
