Yes, as well as took me where the fish were, what rig and flies to use, and helped with spotting them in the river. He was a great guide for someone visiting the area with only 1 day to fish.

It’s near Silverthorne, CO and I used Cutthroat Anglers as my guide. Check it out!

It is pretty clear when it hasn’t rained for a bit, but I was also experimenting with a filter on my GoPro that was supposed to cut down glare. I think that added to the clarity. Thanks for watching!

Nope it was the Current, but I need to get back to the Meramec again and see how it’s changed!

Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks a lot! This was the Current River.

Yeah it was a lot of unusual run off still for late June apparently. They were all hanging in the softer water near the banks as a result.

Yes it was! Nice channel name, I will have to check it out!

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!

It was amazing, even the guide was excited how new fish just kept showing up in holding spots after catching one. Thanks for watching!

I couldn’t believe it either, and that was like an hour or so of total time in this spot! Caught several others up and down stream but only 1 or 2 per spot. It was an awesome day for sure! Thanks for watching

Good luck, they sure seemed to be concentrated in that long riffle all morning! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

It’s a gorgeous river even running higher, I wish the water was lower when I was there but we found them nonetheless. Thanks for watching!

I imagine there has been some serious water moving through there, but I haven't been back since this last winter either. I am really excited about the leader system and will be trying it on other local waters hopefully in the coming months. I think it will produce more fish based on what I've read, watched, and now briefly experienced. Thanks for watching!

I was using a 9 ft 4 weight with a standard mono rig that I purchased from Troutbitten.com (wealth of information there about tight lining). I was using a stonefly as the top fly and an egg pattern below that. Most of them ate the egg. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching. I can’t exactly recall what we were using unfortunately. I want to say it was 2 nymphs some of the time when we were just using an indicator - one was a generic type nymph like a hare’s ear and the other was a small grub type nymph I think.

Just a black woolly bugger

Hey Mike, great to see you as well and hope you enjoy the videos! I’m a little better at the fishing part than the video editing part, but they’re evolving the right direction I think. Time is scarce these days, but maybe we can put a trip together somewhere. Thanks again for watching!

I just went to one of the access points below the trout park and then hiked for a bit

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

So do I, haven’t made it this year yet but hoping to change that by fall!

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the tip. I think I am doing what you’re describing, but perhaps I mishandled the line at some point trying to pick up the slack. No doubt it’s best to maintain constant pressure on them after the hookset.

So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!

The upper Meramec around Steelville, MO

Cardiac Hill access and then hike upstream or downstream, there’s good water either way.

Welcome to the channel! Never too late to get into trout, but watch out because it’s addicting! You’ve got some good trout water near you there. Good luck on your journey and hope you pick up some useful things from some of the videos.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome thank you!

Yep it’s so much good water on that stretch it’s almost worth doing an overnight on a gravel bar to really cover it all thoroughly. I did the same float early October and we had less success though. Anyways glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

I have been reading a lot about a mono rig the last couple years and do want to try that. I just default to what I know most times because I still catch them pretty regularly. But I recognize its versatility and that it would likely increase my catch rate once I got the hang of it. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Yeah I only had one day to fish there and could have gone for the bigger water and bigger fish, but I wanted the small creek/brookie experience in the mountains. It's really a special place, and agreed they are some of the prettiest fish you can find in fresh water.

Thanks again! Yeah I didn’t use it much, it was a backup rod and I just wanted to catch the first fish on it before the trip ended. My arm was definitely worn out after all the wind. Thanks a lot for watching!

@@FishFearMe you're welcome!

Hey thanks for the kind words! You are correct, that was a 4 weight rod.

@@FishFearMe thank you very much! I have been contemplating on going down a size on these smaller streams where I live in western Wyoming. Subbed.

@@timberlinegoldprospecting2358 That’s an awesome place to live, kind of jealous! I’ve really enjoyed my 4 wt and just got it this year. My first fish on it was actually about a 2 lb cutthroat on a dry on the South Fork of the Snake this past summer. Tight lines!

@FishFearMe I bet that was a fight! That is some stiff water. What state do you live in? I am about 20 minutes from the South Fork just below Palisades. I usually throw a 5/6 weight there. My favorite time there is on the Salmon fly hatch about mid June.

@@timberlinegoldprospecting2358 I live in Missouri and mostly only get to fish locally, but I try to get a trip out west once a year. I misspoke though, it was actually July 2022 when I was there last. And yes we caught the tail end of the salmon flies. Pretty epic fishing when those are out. I’ve got 3 videos uploaded from that trip for each day, and likely you’d recognize the sections of water we fished. That particular cutty was on the 3rd day we were there from an awesome riffle.

Yes, I was using a black bead headed one with some crystal flash in it.

Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed it! The elk hair caddis was size 18, the stonefly nymph was size 8, and the wooly bugger was size 10.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much, and agreed that any trout is a good trout! The water is low and clear right now, and there are lots of fish in the slow deep pools but they are spooking so easily! So I mainly focused on the riffled water and had good success. More videos coming soon, and tight lines as well!

Thanks a lot! It is actually called the Current River, and it’s in the southern half of Missouri. It’s in an area called the Ozark Plateau that has some unique topography and lots of springs. It’s one river of many similar to it there, you should come check it out sometime. The Eleven Point River is also awesome.
