Thank you! Yes, they were! Always nice to share a long drive like that with someone, but also insane to be the only person on the water when the fishing is hot haha.
November is one of my favorite months to fish. Not a ton of people out and the fishing can be pretty productive. Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed your video!
I appreciate the kind words! A couple other reasons I specifically like November are 1) up here at higher elevations it takes a minute for the fish to warm up in the mornings, so there’s a little bit less mania in the AM to be on the water and 2) the early sunset makes me get back to my family at a reasonable hour hahaha. I checked out your page as well - you’ve got some good stuff going on up there in the PNW!
Love your videos. Appreciate the technique, the safe handling of the fish, and the sheer fun you have. I keep intending to get to the Eagle, but I just don't know it that well. I'll get there. :) Now that you have new waders and boots, even the changing weather won't get in your way. Hope you keep fishing even as the weather changes, I'll keep an eye where you go next!
@@mgardner63 I appreciate the kind words! And I highly, highly recommend the Eagle! I’m no expert on it but it feels like a really good, all-natural freestone. And obviously the fish have a good food supply haha. Yup I’ll definitely be getting out Dec-March for tailwater fish. But I’m counting down until May when the Gunnison gorge/canyon start up and then the alpine lakes in quick succession after that!
I bet you know this stretch of water quite well!! I really want to fish Gore, especially in the wilderness section. I love those small alpine streams. I have done a good amount of ice fishing in the Midwest but have not broken into it here in Colorado. Last winter I fly fished the tailwaters a lot to scratch my itch in the winter season.
Glad you did so well and delighted you took us fishing with you. I enjoyed it.
Lovely river and the trout are beautiful! Worth the long drive!

😆totally gutsy pushing the weather window, be careful on those roads!!!
Vail Pass had 2’ of snow on the shoulder but the road was clear!
Great video. I grew up in Gypsum and now I live in West Vail. You should come fish the Gore Creek. Also, you ever do any ice fishing ?
