- Part 1 of our trip to the Eagle River, a tributary of the Colorado River. We catch some big beautiful brown and rainbow trout. Wonderful late winter/early spring fishing in the mountains. Part 2 out next week!

You guys are putting out some great stuff and you're having a blast doing it. I'm new too and it's great watching your adventures! (Except for the ear! :) )
Thanks so much for the kind words, Michelle! So great that you are new to the sport too. Where is your home water?
@@highholescramblers I've been going to The Big Thompson in the canyon lately. Easy access for me to that one as well as Boulder Creek.
@@highholescramblers The Poudre is on my super duper short list this year!
@@mgardner63 hey Michelle! The flows are starting to come back down and get good! Let us know if you need any ideas on spots to try!
@@highholescramblers Thanks! I have Friday off and was going to head out with another newbie. Any spots you’d suggest (if you don’t mind) on The Poudre for newer folks. If you’d rather not share here, my email is MGardner63@gmail.com.
Great video, beautiful big boy brown. Nice job keeping him hooked.
Thank you!
Awesome video
Thanks!
Used to love the Eagle back when I was working up in the area always had my gear in the truck soon as I’d be done with work hit the Eagle wherever I was nearest great fishing, low pressure.
That sounds awesome. Did you get into any big fish close to dusk? I noticed they would come out and smash streamers off the bank right when it got dark.
@@highholescramblers I fished a lot there well after dark with streamers or a mice pattern caught some large browns at night. Even a couple pheasant tails would work. I still fish the Blue River at night a lot no one’s there and they love mysis shrimp patterns.
Yeah I’ve heard that about the blue. Haven’t fished shrimp there but have on the Taylor below the damn. Those fish are for real.
Awesome video - what fly and size did you get the big brown on?
Rainbow warrior. #16
The Eagle also holds the biggest trout I've ever caught too. Great vid.
Thanks Kyle! Appreciate you taking the time to comment. 🙏🏼
Fantastic footage guys! Beautiful fish and love how much you are enjoying fly fishing!
Thanks!! Gotta admit we are having a blast learning this amazing sport. Appreciate your feedback!
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽 new subscriber now...
That’s awesome. Thanks so much Marcial!
Awesome video.. makes me miss the mountain rivers from State College, PA when I was up there for school. That first brown you caught looks exactly like the ones I used to catch on Big Fishing Creek and Penns! I need to get out to Colorado to fish sometime.
Hey Justin - thanks so much for the feedback, glad you enjoyed our video. Never fished PA but heard some folks talking about it on the Orvis podcast. And yes, we’d love to have you out to Colorado to enjoy some of our amazing fishing. 👍🏼
You’re getting me excited to get back on the water. Great video, cheers!
Thanks Nick! You going to go after some salmon soon?
That’s my home river! Just subbed!
Thank you for sharing your amazing home river with us. We loved it!
I see you rock the Orvis Clearwater sir, I do as well were you stripping those juju on that first fish and look like it?
Yessir love the Clearwater. Best rod for the money in my opinion. Not sure if I was stripping it there, don’t remember. Was likely drifting under an indicator and just stripping in slack.
@@highholescramblers I got one for my 5wt. That must have been it. I didn’t see a strike indicator so I’m like holy shit if those things are chasing nymphs they’re pretty aggressive.
Yeah actually now that you mention it I think I was swinging flies on that fish. Don’t think there was an indicator. Nice catch. 😁
@@highholescramblers O your euro nymphing I got cha. I don’t do any of that.
Just swinging wet flies trailed by a nymph. I use a 10’ recon to euro but wasn’t doing it on this trip.
Please consider not mentioning the name of the river in your videos. You’ve got it in the title and you each mentioned it like 50 times.
Thanks for the feedback Jason! It’s funny, my wife said the same thing but I’d already uploaded so couldn’t make the change.
Out of curiosity, is it just annoying or as a rule you don’t like fisheries mentioned? Honestly we felt this was an obvious enough spot in a popular fishery so people would likely know. Small, off the grid kind of streams are different and we wouldn’t name.
As a rule I’m against putting rivers on blast. That’s fine if you want to post videos of your fishing but as a fisherman/outdoorsman you should do your best to conserve and protect the resource. I feel that the name of the river isn’t essential to the success of your content.
Jason - thanks again for the feedback. We are thinking about doing a video on topics like this and would love to see if you are interested in being a guest contributor via zoom or something like that. Here is our email, shoot us a note and let’s discuss. Thanks!

What a bunch of BS on naming or not naming a river! Get lives.
What is the point of posting this video? You didn't show new or clarify old techniques. Were you lonely there and hope posting this will bring more company there for you next time? If you just want to share, maybe do a vid of your breakfast and leave it go at that.
It’s a fishing video. Great question tho! Glad someone finally asked.
Hey guys I’m headed to Eagle here in two weeks, do you have Instagram?
Nice! Yes, same user name.
Sent you a DM on Instagram
You end up making it out?
