Fly Fishing For HUGE Cutthroat Trout In Remote Colorado Alpine Lakes
ฝัง

- A recap of my 2021 summer fly fishing across Colorado for brown, brook, and huge cutthroat trout. From the elk in Rocky Mountain National Park to small streams just outside of Denver, Colorado is one of the most beautiful states to fly fish. On this trip, I caught my biggest fish ever and my first cutthroat trout while stillwater fly fishing! We hiked several miles to this remote alpine lake to discover massive cutthroat trout patrolling the edges. What a blast! #flyfishing #outdoors #fishing

Awesome vid and amazing alpine Cutt! Wow - nicely done! Cheers and FISH-ON!!
Thanks Dan! Best of luck to you! Love the videos. I would be interested in sponsoring your channel. Let me know!
I don't miss much about the US, but I do miss the Rocky Mountains and fishing alpine lakes in Colorado for cutthroat trout. Nice release!
Dam brother that's a solid fish. Sight fished em too, which is always nice.
Thanks man! Once in a lifetime fish!
great fish! i'm heading to rmnp in a couple weeks. can't wait. cheers!
What a Giant! 🐟 🎣 New subscriber here, Nice fish bud. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks! I'll be posting a new video here shortly to keep it going. 🤘
Just got yourself a new subscriber!! Killer cutthroat man, I’ve fished a lot of alpine lakes and cutthroats that size are more then rare!!
Thanks guys! I was astonished 😲
Amazing footage man god bless!
awesome video!
sick catch!
5:55 Mend. Mend. MEND. MEND!! MEEEENNN-oh nice.
🤣🤣 100% right on that.
I have seen lots of rainbows and browns with kypes, but never a cutthroat! That was insane!!
I know right?! It was such a nice fish.
Excellent video!! Epic trout!! How would I get in contact with you to find out what lake that is? I’ve hiked a lot in RMNP but not sure if I’ve fished that one!
Yellowstone cutthroats in lake Haiyaha!
This apline lake was outside of RMNP, but it's on the way there from Denver. It doesn't hold many trout. From what I could tell, there were 2 smaller cutthroat trailing behind this one -- but that was it.
Longtime CO fly fisherman. Hard to watch how long that old guy was held out of the water, mainly due to the small net brought to an alpine lake… and how it swam sideways along the rocks at the very end of your edit after the release, suggesting that it wasn’t rehabbed long enough before the release. Please consider my comments on your next big fish… especially our prized alpine cutts.
I was thinking the same thing...hard to imagine someone catching a nice cutt like that and then not taking a few extra seconds to "revive" it....gettin the fish back quickly and safely aren't necessarily the same thing. As seemed to be the case here, unfortunately
lol these haters are peanut butter and jealous! Get a life you nerds. Haha sick fish dude! Unreal.
That's an old fish! congrats!
Awesome vid! What tippet and flies were you throwing?
So I was using a 5x tippet for the dry flies and droppers. Most of the fish I caught on a Adams Parachute or small Chubby Chernobyl. That cutthroat was on a size #20 Rainbow Warrior Midge -- 5x tippet. But my leader was around 12 feet in length.
So jealous
A true rare monster sized cutt! Nice work! What fly did you catch it on?
Size #20 Rainbow Warrior Midge is what fooled it. I had it dropped 48-inches below a size #12 Adams Parachute with a size #18 Zebra Midge in-between.
@@theflycrate I sent you an email to the one you have listed on your about section of your channel. Thanks and look forward to hearing back!
I am coming to Colorado this summer to Breckenridge. Found this channel to look for some tips and what the fishing is like. Do all the alpine lakes hold trout?
Not all alpine lakes are able to support a permanent population of fish, sometimes you end up putting in the work to hike somewhere and find a barren lake, but that's part of it all!
@@connorpierce4467hey do you live near those type of lakes just wanted to know the conditions of the area if it’s snowy muddy or whatever
@@tobiasgilman6311 most apline lakes will be clear of snow and mud by late July and August. The higher you go the longer it all sticks around. It truly does dampen the trip when you go in early summer and hit the floods of water that come off the ice packs.
That looks like emmaline lake!

Thanks Andy!
what did you hook him on?
Rainbow Warrior Midge size #20!
Is this in the RMNP? If not no need to disclose nothing - looked like a shot of the moraine valley in the opening screen - and then you mentioned the elk gate, which is also present in the moraine valley. It’s incredible fishing and bugling in September!
You are correct! There's lots of good fishing in the valley, which is where that was filmed.
Why do you need a net for a 4" trout. I stopped using a net many years age because I realized. If a fish was so big I needed a net, it was too big for the net and I don't want to carry a huge net on my back. I use a Cetchem Release tool and rarely touch a fish.
