Colorado Fisher thank you for showing me one of your favorite places man! You sacrificed all the good spots to let me get em!! The fish gods are going to smile kindly on you my friend! Can’t wait for our next adventure here soon!
Definitely a killer method! I've found myself gravitating back to the old standby setup lately (9' 5 wt with a strike indicator), but gotta push myself to do some more euro!!
@@WhatMyLensSees Honestly man, I love spey casting, and traditional fly casting is great but where im at theres not a lot of back casting room, spey casting doesnt land me a ton of fish, euro nymphing I have landed more fish in one year then I have in a decade spey and fly casting combined. I love it man.
Can’t believe I’ve never fished Eleven Mile canyon before because I’m 100% with you. The colors and size of those fish was just 👍. Gonna be heading back again soon and if I even have half the day this one was, I’ll be happy!! Thanks for the nice comment and channel support, dan
Really appreciate that RRO! Definitely had one of those mornings where everything just worked. Felt good and fun to capture a few of those moments on film 😊
oh man, once you get thru the small learning curve and get the feel for it, there's honestly no going back! amazing fishing experience, and even better results! hope you'll give it a try one day soon! thanks much for the watch, nice comment and channel support my friend! dan
Darren's Northern Life thanks Darren! AJ showed me one of his favs and it did not disappoint. Can’t wait to get back out there again once the weather turns a bit warmer and we are not freezing our asses off 🤣
More beauty -- fish and river environment. I'm presuming you're using a GoPro for a lot of this footage. Interested in your settings. I've just completed a look at the "cinematic" preset which I'm hoping will complement footage from my Nikon Z6.
Yep you’re right Raymond. I’ve got 3 go pros with me when filming. One is attached to my chest, another to my net, and another on a dome port (which I rarely use but am going to start using more as it warms up). My newest is the GoPro hero 8 black which is the one attached to my chest. In addition to the GoPros, I also have my iPhone 11 Pro Max with a gorillapod, and also my Z6 rolling on a tripod. Lastly, I’ll bust out the dji phantom 4 to get some aerial shots when I’m feeling really ambitious :) so it’s a lot to juggle, especially in the dead of winter when It’s hard to stay warm. Then ya throw fly fishing on top of that and it’s quite the adventure!! As for settings on my GoPro, Here’s what I’ve got setup most of the time: 4K, 60fps, wide, hypersmooth on, low light off, protune on, bit rate high, shutter auto, white balance auto, iso min 100, iso max 400, sharpness medium, color flat. I can burn thru sd cards pretty quick with these settings but found it produces very nice footage 95% of the time :) the other real struggle is battery power. They just don’t stand up well to cold temps, so I’ve had to come up with some hacks to try and keep the batteries holding a charge in cold temps. Hope that’s helpful Raymond and always appreciate your support and comments!! dan ps - and one other thing I forgot to mention, I use ND filters once it gets lighter out (usually by 9am) ... my go to is the polar pro nd8 filter. Helps keep the shutter speed down and gives some motion blur.
@@WhatMyLensSees Thanks for adding all that info. Sounds like you've got all the angles covered 😀 I finally updated from my 8 y/o GoPro Hero2 to the 8 Black (the subject of my latest video). As I set it up fully manual at 24fps/1/48, NDs were a must have for me. I'll be examining my choice next week. Interested to hear you use auto white balance. Looks like it works well. I'll have to test that out as well as different frame rates. I also have + − ISO locked to 100. No sharpening (I can't imagine what high would look like!) High bitrate. I agree with your battery assessment -- they don't last long. I assume with all those cameras, you're editing multicam.
Raymond Parker I’ll be sure to check out your video here soon! And I’ve been using auto WB simply because I’m so busy with the fishing that i tend to forget to update some of the camera settings throughout the day so just try to keep everything as simple as possible unless there’s a real specific shot in after. I also shoot 24fps if I know it’s not a shot I’m going to slo-mo in post.
Hey there Jeff, appreciate the kind words and channel support my friend! On this particular day, the fish were all about a black leech pattern that had a copper bead head. The other trick that was really effective that day was using a drop shot rig. Hope this helps! dan
Good stuff fellas. Surprised you haven’t fished that section before. I fished it in those exact spots about 5 years ago and caught so many cut bows and rainbows up in that upper section on midge emergers in the late summer/early autumn. Beautiful water in that canyon! We should setup a mutual channel contest! I’m willing to put up a day trip (as a guide) to a high mountain lake/stream for Cutts in late summer! Whaddya think?
Hey there Trout Soup! Really appreciate the kind words and thanks for sharing your experiences up at 11 mile! Such a beautiful stretch of water and I was honestly shocked at the size and color of some of those fish I landed! One of my most favorite days of fly fishing ever! Would love to hear more of what you're thinking on the channel contest. Never done anything like that before, but always interested in collaborating with other TH-camr fly fisherman here in Colorado. thanks again, dan
Not sure Dan, was thinking about how could we get cross-channel feedback and involvement and boost subscribers and get them excited about fly fishing as we are! Maybe put up something in the spring where we (and get COLORADO Fisher in on it with us) go fish for a new species (maybe not for me but def for you guys) and give something like SMALLIES or WIPER on the fly a shot!
Colorado Fisher yeah buddy! We fished em last year on a pilot mission to Jackson and my wife caught a monster 17”er on her first try there. I caught one there for the Mile High tourney last year and we boogied off but I’d like to spend some more time fishing for them. They don’t seem hard with the right retrieve and nice shad pattern
Thanks man. I’ve been trying to get more angles and present more of the scenery and such. But at the end of the day, I can tell my audience just wants to see big fish in the net. So walking a fine line to hopefully keep everyone interested. Always appreciate your comments man and hope I can get down your way sometime this year!!
Appreciate it fellas! It was just one of those days when things were just working! Wish every day of fishing was like that, but grateful to have had that kind of experience on my first trip out to eleven mile canyon! Really appreciate the channel support and comment guys!
Man this video had me smiling the whole way through! I'm going fishing with my Uncle soon (haven't in over 15 years), this has me pumped!! Keep making bangers man!
Yeah buddy! Love comments like yours! Fishing was awesome but having AJ show me around one of his favorite spots was even better! Seriously appreciate the comment and hope you and your uncle have a blast (and make a video so I can see all the action!), dan
If you want to shorten the learning curve on euro fly fishing, I recommend two DVDs, Modern Nymphing and Modern Nymphing Elevated, both by Lance Egan and Devin Olsen. Then I just started a new book, Tactical Fly Fishing by Devin Olsen, which I highly recommend too. I've fished that exact spot but never have I done as well. Good job and I love your fishing videos.
Mr Mitchell. So good to hear from you! Matt tells me you're a big fly fisherman and hoping we can get after it one day soon! Believe it or not, this was my first time to 11 Mile but definitely not the last. I'm loving the Euro setup, and as long as I don't keep breaking my rods, it will be the only way I fish :) That hole was really producing and I don't think I would've gotten those fish with the old way of strike indictor fishing. And funny you mention it, I was just listening to a podcast with Lance Egan last night. He's definitely a legend! I'll be sure to check out your recommendations ... thank you for that! Great to hear from you and thanks for the nice comment and channel support :) dan
devoncox appreciate that Devon! So I had a lot of your typical tail water nymphs working well. Must’ve been beginners luck or something 😆 but one fly that really caught the fish’s attention was a basic leach pattern. I was using it for extra weight and the fish saw it as a big tasty meal 😋 appreciate the nice comment and channel support my friend, dan
if you dont mind me asking- what was your rig (length of tippet below sighter, where'd you have your dropper(s)? I'm getting into Euro nymphing and the winter conditions can be challenging, so I'm curious as to your set-up.
Hey Martin, thanks for stopping by! Here's my humble suggestions for you getting started. Hold your tippet spool at mid-chest, and take the tippet and string it out one arm's length (guessing 3-4 ft). I attach another piece of tippet to the end of this and keep the tag end. I like to use a "drop shot" rig where my top 2 flies are attached to tag ends and they are usually spaced about 18" apart. And then for the anchor fly / bottom fly (about 18" apart from the middle tag end fly), I like to put something pretty chunky on there to make sure the rig gets down deep quickly. That usually does the job very nicely! And you're spot on, Winter fly fishing can be crazy challenging (especially when you're trying to film everything too 🤦♂️), but the rewards can be so worth it! Hope you have a great time with the Euro nymphing and just stick with it even if it feels a little frustrating at first. You'll get the hang of it in no time, and likely never want to go back to the old ways :) take care, dan
When you uploaded your video, I was not notified. I honestly kept thinking what is your channel name. Whenever I watched Team C.O.FF, I was looking for your channel. I now have to keep remember your channel name. This is party mutual support. Awesome catch.
Yeah, so I looked into this issue and can't seem to reproduce it. I even created a new user and went to subscribe to What My Lens Sees. I was able to both subscribe and ring the bell for notifications with no issues whatsoever. So I'm not sure what else could be causing it. I also checked and my channel and almost all my videos are all marked "Not for kids" so don't think that should be an issue either. If you know of anything else, I'm open to investigating. Frustrating to say the least... but thank you again for letting me know and always appreciate your support my friend! dan
You should up your minutes to at least 10 minutes to make more money. The more commercial, the more money you make. You are right. That is awesome video.

Yes!!!! Big thumbs up buddy! I love how short and sweet and to the point this one is! Glad you got into some chunky fish my man!

Euro Nymphing is the new shit its not going to disappear, and anyone can learn it. Love it.
Definitely a killer method! I've found myself gravitating back to the old standby setup lately (9' 5 wt with a strike indicator), but gotta push myself to do some more euro!!
@@WhatMyLensSees Honestly man, I love spey casting, and traditional fly casting is great but where im at theres not a lot of back casting room, spey casting doesnt land me a ton of fish, euro nymphing I have landed more fish in one year then I have in a decade spey and fly casting combined. I love it man.
Nothing new about it. We used to call it high sticking back in the 90s.
Fly fishing looks like fun, like.
BeeBee's Funtastic Adventures you should get into it, you’d really love it!
Definitely a good time...especially when you get to spend the day catching fish with friends and family!!
It's alway wonderful and awesome catch and scenery. Oh my lord, the water is so crystal clear. You may see the fish swimming,
A truly beautiful place here in Colorado. And always feel fortunate and grateful to call it home :) Thanks Kumbo!
This place has some of the most gin clear water it’s so beautiful.
The colors of those fish!! Just amazing....
