The Arkansas River in Colorado is one of the rivers I was able to fish on my last journey to the state. It was one of my favorite places I fished on my last trip so I knew I'd be back there to try my luck. The river is absolutely LOADED with brown trout and also has rainbow trout, cuttbow trout, and some brook trout up high. It truly is one of the best rivers in Colorado to fish, at least in my opinion. Fly Fishing Colorado and fishing Colorado in general is such an amazing experience and I encourage everyone to do it one day if you haven't already!

If you ever go to New Mexico, go in the spring. I suggest the Peñasco river, Pecos river, Rio Vallecitos, Los Piños river, Rio Chama, and the San Juan River
I'll keep that in mind! Thanks for watching
Hardman Fishing Adventures and if you feel like walking a bit The Valles Caldera, and the Valles Vidal
Awesome video, I LOVE the headwaters of the Arkansas, I’ve had some unreal days of 50+ fish up there, and it’s so beautiful the way it winds through the fields with the Rockies surrounding, one of my favorite places on earth!
I couldn't agree more! The scenery and fish are unreal. Thank you so much for watching!
This video is awesome and getting me ready for winter trout fishing
THat's awesome!! Glad you liked it!
Great vid dudes, broken rod, lost net, the trials and tribulations of a great trip. Those are what memories are made of. I'm sure you'll look back on this as a great trip. Tight Lines boys.
We definitely already do! Breaking a few rods and losing a net is all part of it. Thanks for watching!
In my opinion y'all are the most underrated trout fisherman on TH-cam you deserve a hundred thousand plus subs I enjoyed all of y'all's videos I was able to go yesterday and caught some nice native brookies my largest was 12in and thick never caught a native brookie that big then I moved down going to a stock section and ended up catching 19) 12 to 15 in fish that I released keep but I fish from daylight until dark and covered a lot of water keep up the good videos guys
Thank you so much!! That means a lot! And I'm glad you were able to get out and catch some trout! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
No doubt about that man.
Great video!
Really enjoyed your adventure on the Arkansas! The river looked like it may still have been in runoff, or perhaps just after some rainy weather. Anyway, another great video - many thanks!
I have no idea, I've been there twice and it looked similar both times! Just isn't much slack water for whatever reason. Thanks for watching!!
some big cuttys in that water too. Nice video. tight lines
Brother, I love your videos, but come and give us a shot - The Adirondacks Mountains of New York. We have some VERY SERIOUS WATER UP HERE!!!!
I plan on it actually!!
@@hardmanfishing That would be great, my wife and I would love to meet you and your team if possible. PS, she is a GREAT cook!!! LOL
Some buddies and I fished this area last summer, as good as the Arkansas is the tribs in that area are even better!
I agree! We found that out quickly. We caught so many fish I decided to make it an entirely separate video. Thanks for watching!
Really nice color on those browns. I gotta get out there ! Nice video guys
Thank you! Glad you liked the vid. It is amazing out west
Good video as usual. I always found it interesting About the Arkansas River in Colorado. Great stream and would luv to fish it. Slow here in NC and VA. Can't wait till Oct. Things heat up for us then. Not hard to go catch a dozen or so now but really hard on them to release given the heat so least active time of year for me. Watching your video gives me the fever though. Good stuff, keep them coming and I would have loved running a Joe's Fly through some of those spots!
Glad you liked the video! My buddy did throw a joes fly in a few of the spots and caught quite a few, I just didn't film him any. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best in October!
I totally enjoy your videos man! This adventure reminds me a lot about the time I went up to mountains last summer with my family to go camping and fishing:)
I'm glad you liked it man!! Thanks for watching!
It's a stellar river!
Easily one of my favorites as far as just catching fish! Thanks for watching!
Losing the net and breaking the rod...I mean, you can't really have fished in Colorado without having those happen to you, it's like a weird ritual or something. The Arkansas is one of my favorites to fish. I am a bit jealous though, I'm a Colorado native and have never caught a brook trout.
Yep its not the first rod I've broken or the first net I've lost and I'm sure it won't be the last! But the brookies are everywhere in CO, just go to any of the Arkansas tribs and you'll find em! Thanks for watching
Another awesome video man!!! Hopefully one day can get out there!
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
i so glad i found your channel haha i love this tuff
Thank you! Glad you like it!
great vids
Thank you!
Hey, did you just go fishing in Buena Vista Colorado because I think I just saw you
I haven’t been there in about a year 😂 I wish I was in Buena vista right now
One day I will get out west and test my tight line skills. The scenery is unreal. A little better than the sewage dumping in the streams of WV, but hey that is home and that is what produces monsters, so you can't hate. I see you followed my lead of no net lol!!! When I don't bring mine I always get great fish :) Great fly in the lazer legal. Isn't it great when flies work all through the US? Keep up the great work guys. Always a fan!
Thanks Mike! You'd have loved to Euro Nymph some of these rivers. You can catch boat loads of fish without moving your feet. But yeah the change in scenery is always nice, that's why I've been trying to travel more. Thanks for watching man!
You guys said it was hard / impossible with the current to fish nymphs ...wht about euro with a 11 foot rod would that have done the trick?
That probably would've worked well! I've just never gotten much into euro nymphing yet. Either way thanks for watching!!
Dude I’m in Colorado right now and about to go fishing in Estes park
Good luck out there!!
Hey dude you know how if you are able to use a baitcaster reel to fish for trout?
No
You CAN, but it isnt the best option
You can use what you want, just isn't recommended.
Hardman Fishing Adventures alright thanks man
If you aren't into fly fishing, spinning gear is a better option than baitcaster. Spinners, jerk baits, and small crankbaits will catch plenty of trout. Small (3 inch) jerrk baits in either rainbow trout, or brown trout patterns can be real producers. Big trout love to eat little trout.
Dry droppers man!!
Dry droppers for the win!! Thank you for watching!
BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You lost the CatchCamNet???? AND you broke a rod? This was essentially a disaster day. There would have been expletives left and right from me lol. I'll be honest I have lost my catch cam net at least 3 times, UNTIL I switched to the hip holster, it is a life saver, well more a net saver. I promise you the tight line with tunsten surveyors would CLEAN up on the eddys and slower water just off main current.
Yeah... I just put in an order for a holster....
What time of year was this
This was just about a month ago
I would think maybe its so fast that you wouldnt have to mend much
Well the issue is the trout were sitting in the slack water behind rocks. So unfortunately you'd have to mend a lot to keep up with it (I attempted it but gave up quickly). Thanks for watching!
Hardman Fishing Adventures Yeah true, i didnt think about them being in the slack
Gliè tutta poa roba
It's my understanding that the Arkansas River is pronounced differently than the state of Arkansas
I have never heard it pronounced any other way. Although I'm not saying it doesn't happen! Thanks for watching
