Hard to separate truth from parody…….because so much of this is both. Well played Ben. You never cease to entertain. Your videos are the only reason I get up on Monday😂
OUTSTANDING parody. I thought Ben had moved, then realized it was Ben 😂. The only thing he forgot is how you need to use #22 or #24 sized nymphs without indicators to catch anything in those high-pressured waters of Colorado 😉
I remember fishing the GA mountains in the mid 80's. It was a paradise. My friends and I got to fish lots of private land simply by walking up to someone's door and asking permission. The state forests were quiet and had almost no pressure if you walked a few 100 yards away from the access areas. No cans of corn or power bait stream side. Today, it's a s*** show. Find a good spot and be prepared to be high holed and low holed. You can still do some decent blue lining if that's your thing.
Ran into some guys in a fly shop in MT dogging the Soque, I couldn't help but join them. I think we can all agree that place caters to the most annoying and obscene group of people.
As always, great video. I loved your comment about Texans having no idea what they're doing. I lived in San Antonio for a while and fished the Guadalupe a few times. For those of you not familiar, It's a tail water with only stocked fish that's lined with homes. They paid off somebody to get it included on a list of 50 best trout streams in America. If you find yourself in the area, by all means go fishing, just don't put it on your bucket list.
I live in SA and this has always made me laugh! we definitely got some amazing river fishing but if it’s fly fishing you’re going for I’d go west towards Hunt tx or Medina river. Both are within 8 miles from another and you can get some nice clear walkable water. The west part of the Guadalupe is also where I tend to catch a lot more Guadalupe bass being the head waters and all
LMAO...lived in CO for years, couldn't have said it better myself!!🤣🤣. The only thing missing were the hundreds of weekend cyclist that think they own the winding roads so you can't pass so you're stuck driving 10mph turning a 2 hr trip into 4 hrs
Love the quick reference to the Animas @5:39, showing it when it was bright orange from a massive mine spill. Bingo. That mine spill source is still there waiting to do it again, too. Plus you have to put up with perhaps the most snooty, annoyingly hipster CO town in the state next to Crested Butte, Durango. And a LOT of whitewater kayak bros trying to kill themselves…
As a native Montanan who lives on the front range in Colorado, this hilariously vocalized everything that I feel from may-december every year. For those people that say stop telling people about montana, just get a clue. The “secret” ain’t a secret. Western mountain states are play grounds for the wealthy. Enjoy it now, it will be unrecognizable in a decade.
Well as a Coloradan I feel attacked because that was just a bit to true. lol. But yes to carp fishing. I am horrible at it as they seem to be a bit more selective in some areas but I am getting there. Till then I am on the 8 mile hike train to the lakes when they are not frozen :(
My first thought was "screw you." But then I remembered that I started fly fishing in Colorado in the 70s and had miles of the Colorado by myself. The White, holy crap the number of big fish we caught. The South Platte sucked because of all the poaching. It's actually a lot better now, if you're into that kind of thing. The backpacking into the Indian Peaks was incredible with lots of fish and nobody else to be seen. I moved to North Carolina when I was 40 and then had a job offer to move back to the front range. I turned it down because the saltwater fishing in Colorado sucks. Also, the smallmouth are small and so are the large mouth. Carp fishing in the South is incredible. The South Platte is actually pretty lame. When I lived in Colorado I had one fly rod, and now I have 22. Here you need a 3wt all the way to a 12 wt. Yes, even though my wife doesn't think so, I NEED 22 fly rods now. Okay, fly fishing in Colorado sucks now. However, you trout snob lesser fly fishers in Montana really need to learn what fly fishing is all about. Montana is super lame. During the run off all the Montana guides come here just to annoy us.
Growing up I heard how great the West was... then I moved there and learned it was not what it was said to be... I'll take the East. I want my money back for all the Gierach books I bought....
Thanks. Fond memories triggered. My regional HQ used to be near Boulder, so I would stay the weekend and fish, and worked on a dude ranch one summer in Winter Park. I used to wore National Park summers between college. I am retired now, and maybe next year I will visit where I used to fish.
Sounds like a good bit of western nc fishing. God help us all when it really picks up. Tons of fish but about three times as many people on the bigger rivers not to mention tubers, rafters, and kayaks. Winter fishing here is best unless you’re willing to hike. As a guide it’s not bad I can put clients on fish while playing bumper race boats but for my own enjoyment I have to go to the much lesser known hometown family spots that no one ever takes the time to get to but has beautiful fish.
The post COVID fly fishing in New England where I live was wonderful. Because people went back to their jobs and stopped fishing. Weeded out the casuals. I also love the Catskill mountains in NY. We catch some large browns with rat looking dry flies. I'm young and broke. But I want to eventually check out new Zealand
Grand County,,,,,,,,Wyoming guy here. You forgot to mention how reasonably priced and down to earth Cutthroat Anglers are. Especially if you pull in with your Texas plated suburban
You're sending everyone to the Yellowstone? What do you think will happen to that river when everyone follows your advice? Glad I live in Alaska. However, we still have too many people fishing the streams we can drive to, and it gets worse every year.
I do enjoy fishing in the desert. The Gunnison River is a beautiful place, although it is getting a little crowded at times. Not in the winter though!!
I recommend Boulder Creek, I've honestly never had a bad day there. And catching a 14 inch trout (I've caught exactly one fish that large on boulder Creek, they are usually about 8 inches average) in front of some cranked out homeless dudes making fun of me because they didn't know there were fish there was a lot of fun. If you want some weekender beginner spots in the mountains, I'd say Fraser River is high on my list, and that area is beautiful and a really nice drive to Winter Park. Big Thompson is great, but make sure you figure out easy access points because you don't want to needlessly walk down steep loose rocks. Never do that
was looking for a little inspiration to hike to an alpine lake this fall. Found a sweet video of a guy crashing his drone into it in wilderness. He left the drone there and posted the video of him crashing the drone. You're not wrong about the influencers.
Northern Colorado raised, and you are SPOT ON, no offense taken 😂 North Park area is great fishing though, you just gotta get with the locals for that choice water access, whether it be public access or private, some of the best spots I’ve fished up there are all backroad-public areas, just gotta know where to turn.
I would rather fish warm water fish, but I'm not a snob, its all a good time. Fish for what is there, try new things. Too many get stuck on "Match the hatch". Just have fun!!!
I moved from upstate NY to Loveland, Colorado in 05 and this was not my experience. I thought the Rocky Mt national park was stunning and I got plenty of greenbacks and even arctic grayling.
As a lifelong Wyomingite you forgot the most famous Colorado river,… the Miracle Mile!!.. we always know spring is in the air when the license plates turn green up here!!
Touched a few nerves looking at the comments, but I do appreciate the humor, true or not. I will say if you can fish CO, you can fish anywhere. The fish may be smaller but they are smart, what with all the pressure. I see people new and old to the hobby get frustrated because, "It's harder than I'm used to back in XXXX, USA." Well, this ain't Kansas anymore...well at least not the mountainous half of the State. Gotta bring your A game in CO!
Alpine lakes are going to be the new fly fishing paradise at some point, especially the really isolated ones. Tourists and guides aren't willing to drag their feet 6,000ft up a mountain for some peaceful fly fishing.
I love fishing in Colorado but most of these are a good point 😂 except he hasn't gone out to places where you have to hike 5-10 miles and get into the best fishing in Colorado but all in all a really funny video 😂
I live in Colorado - six hours from Denver, and I've never fished any of the waters that you described, thank Buddha. The fly fishing is incredible, and you would be blown away by the big fish I catch in remote locations. Yes, we've been polluted by the Texans (Never have so many been so proud of so little), but here's the thing - Texans won't walk more than 300 yards to go fishing, so they're easy to get away from. Overall, it's great to live somewhere with fabulous fishing, and you don't spend half the year freezing your asss off - you know, a place like Montana ! Stay huge
As a Canadian (from Calgary AB) international student studying in Oregon… the only state I have a keen interest in living in post grad school is Montana 🇺🇸 warmer than Alberta and I know the fishing is almost as good ;)
Whole lotta TRUTH in this one! Anyone upset either hasn’t fished CO or is in complete denial and most likely has zero common sense… But that is a lot of what is wrong with CO these days!
In 1973, I moved to Denver from near the Idaho panhandle. I took my gear to Deckers and discovered the whole east coast moved there or visited to fish for trout. I immediately thought “if I’m gonna live with 2.5 million people, I want a recreation activity where the more the merrier, rather than one that is best in a wilderness.” Took up sailboat racing. 50 years later, I fish mostly in Montana. And have recently retired from racing.
Thanks for the vid. I was going to fly fish Colorado but not now. Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho are the best with Utah runner up. We fished the Bitterroot’s this year. RC is a great place for trout.
I live in Northern Colorado, and for me it’s an equal drive to the North Platte in Wyoming as it is to Deckers, and I will pick Wyoming every time, fishing and fish are miles better.
really,? i'm assuming you are saying smoking is what caused people to move to Colorado? I doubt that is a significant factor. More likely previous lower cost of living. 2 years ago I bought some empty land, that I could never have afforded elsewhere in PA. I haven't noticed any change in my experience after smoking became legal. I rarely smoke maybe once every few years camping or something, same as when I was young in Pennsylvania. I moved here because of the weather and the outdoors about 15 years ago. (CO springs area)
Spit my coffee out when you talked about fish so small you launch them into the bushes on a hookset!😂
ugh just experienced a twinge of guilt from a time I did this and launched the poor little guy into the bushes, never to be seen again. I looked!
Done this myself too many times
You forgot the terrible waterway access law 😂
Hard to separate truth from parody…….because so much of this is both. Well played Ben. You never cease to entertain. Your videos are the only reason I get up on Monday😂
This is all facts
This is why I like to fish my home waters in Arkansas when the weather sucks. The trout still bite but the fair-weather fishermen stay home.
OUTSTANDING parody. I thought Ben had moved, then realized it was Ben 😂. The only thing he forgot is how you need to use #22 or #24 sized nymphs without indicators to catch anything in those high-pressured waters of Colorado 😉
“This is where Landon Mayer learned how to fish reds” looool hilarious.
Thanks for this! Keeping my favorite spring creek fishing spots out so I have them all to myself
Haven't watched yet, Dear God, I hope it's my home state in GA. Hearing Ben bag on The Soque soothes my soul. 🤣

Montana is getting hammered. Over guided and over fished. Let it rest for a couple everyone !

Yeah, I’ll stick with the Driftless thanks. Not great fishing but at least there are less people
Driftless has amazing fishing if you like spring creeks
I knew I wasn’t the only one. Great take Ben, keep it up.👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Salt fishing in Colorado 😂😂😂
I'll stick to fishing the eastern slopes of Central Alberta. Where the roots run deep and the oil flows.
Oh sweet, sweet holiday rant! ... and you're right, most of Colorado is in Kansas!
Growing up I heard how great the West was... then I moved there and learned it was not what it was said to be... I'll take the East. I want my money back for all the Gierach books I bought....

What if you fish the dream stream in the winter during the week? Is it still bad!!
This might be my favorite one yet. "where Landon Meyer" learned to fish the reds". That was priceless!
Hey Ben. Heard of Rangely? White River splits our town.
See you on Middle Fork Rock Creek above Moose Lake Sometime All West Slope Cutthroats , Bull Trout ( Dolly Vardens , and whitefish
Dude the sleepy cat was awesome

Western Slope of CO is epic fly fishing. Thank you for not telling anybody where to go.
Grand County,,,,,,,,Wyoming guy here. You forgot to mention how reasonably priced and down to earth Cutthroat Anglers are. Especially if you pull in with your Texas plated suburban
Loved the pic of all the people fishing elbow to elbow, put a couple kayaks floating down the middle and there’s Deckers.
The fly fisherman “Karen’s” are gonna love this one. As someone who frequently hits the South Platte, this is hysterical. Well done. 🍺
I’m came here for their comments. 😂😂
You're sending everyone to the Yellowstone? What do you think will happen to that river when everyone follows your advice? Glad I live in Alaska. However, we still have too many people fishing the streams we can drive to, and it gets worse every year.
Been to Yellowstone many times, always serene. Maybe I'm not going to the popular holes I guess.
I do enjoy fishing in the desert. The Gunnison River is a beautiful place, although it is getting a little crowded at times. Not in the winter though!!
So, how did your application with the Colorado chamber of commerce turn out?
I live in Colorado. What are some spots that I should fish as a beginner?
I recommend Boulder Creek, I've honestly never had a bad day there. And catching a 14 inch trout (I've caught exactly one fish that large on boulder Creek, they are usually about 8 inches average) in front of some cranked out homeless dudes making fun of me because they didn't know there were fish there was a lot of fun.
If you want some weekender beginner spots in the mountains, I'd say Fraser River is high on my list, and that area is beautiful and a really nice drive to Winter Park. Big Thompson is great, but make sure you figure out easy access points because you don't want to needlessly walk down steep loose rocks. Never do that
@@billr1805 thanks so much!
Haha, love the Gunnison part, had to mention it, but conveniently left out the black canyon which is probably in a good 40% of your videos lol
Where do I get the wire mesh waders to fish the South Platte in Denver?
I wish you would go steelhead fishing on salmon river in ny. Good fish some terrible characters, you would have a great video on it for sure.
In the public water its true combat fishing the likes few really know, it ain’t no joke.
I hear you've gotta tape phone books to your chest in case you get stabbed by a Russian while fishing there.
@@mikea9365 Absolutely dumbest thing I ever heard. Russians are not the threat, the real threat are the Ukrainian Bandero Nazi's flooding in....
was looking for a little inspiration to hike to an alpine lake this fall. Found a sweet video of a guy crashing his drone into it in wilderness. He left the drone there and posted the video of him crashing the drone. You're not wrong about the influencers.
Best Video Yet.
P.S I live in Colorado,
So far II’ve had a good fishing season so far shit I caught a 22 inch male rainbow in downtown Colorado last month
It’s such a flex to end a video roasting trout spots state wide to shout out carp fishing! Ben’s the fucking best 🫡
Detecting........... sarcasm. From Scotland and thinking about not going fishing in Colorado.
I have found carp in the weirdest places in the frontrange!!!! But mostly in water.
You forgot about a few rivers in northern CO but I will keep them to myself…
Thought you lived in Colo. When did you move?
Yes, as a guy who lives in SW Colorado (6 hours from Denver) make sure everybody knows that they should go to Montana…
Northern Colorado raised, and you are SPOT ON, no offense taken 😂
North Park area is great fishing though, you just gotta get with the locals for that choice water access, whether it be public access or private, some of the best spots I’ve fished up there are all backroad-public areas, just gotta know where to turn.
Shhhhh
Aside from dodging a few rookie kayakers on the Arizona, I did enjoy my walk and wade
I would rather fish warm water fish, but I'm not a snob, its all a good time. Fish for what is there, try new things. Too many get stuck on "Match the hatch". Just have fun!!!
"Rubber hatch", that's a new one for me! Hahaha!
As a person from Colorado I can confirm that this is Colorado
I moved from upstate NY to Loveland, Colorado in 05 and this was not my experience. I thought the Rocky Mt national park was stunning and I got plenty of greenbacks and even arctic grayling.
There's two rivers near a place that I know you know but too boujee of a town to mention.
As a lifelong Wyomingite you forgot the most famous Colorado river,… the Miracle Mile!!.. we always know spring is in the air when the license plates turn green up here!!
My miracle mile is outside of Medicine Bow ! First time I fished there was in early 80’s.
I've caught plenty of trout right in estes park, lol.
Ok, so you're in Montana. I am too. But I'm also a former Colorado resident. Here's my question. How do you support DRE so heavily?
Also yeah, Poudre is a better name. 😊
Wow thanks! Saved my futute trip❤

Boy. Really hating on Colorado there. But then, down here in Texas, we have the Dramalupe!
Been planning a CO fishing trip since last summer 😵💫😮💨
damn but I also heard trout fishing is suffering in montana, I don't know in comparison to what but just what I've heard.
The talyor river wasnt too bad but the frying pan was awful , so was deckers .......cheeseman was amazing so was 11 mile
I enjoy catching 20” rainbows and then getting discount Abercrombie and Crocs at the outlet mall immediately afterwards.
haha i live and fish in Colorado, good summary
Califarado without the blue fin!!🤣😂🤙
Ben you are giving away our best secrets for Colorado 😂
We have ditch trout here in Iowa come get em before the eagles and red tails do 😅
The animas is the blue rivers neglected cousin😂😂
Do Montana next!
Alpine lakes are going to be the new fly fishing paradise at some point, especially the really isolated ones. Tourists and guides aren't willing to drag their feet 6,000ft up a mountain for some peaceful fly fishing.
Sadly, guides put dudes and dudettes on a horse, charge 2 grand a day into alpine stillwater. It's horseshit.
@@RoryLynott touché. At least there would be less people than on the big rivers during peak season
Shout out for Sleepy Cat!
Lmao, I spent a lot time, 6 weeks in that area last summer never again. I need to find good area in Montana with not so many people. Help me! lol
I love fishing in Colorado but most of these are a good point 😂 except he hasn't gone out to places where you have to hike 5-10 miles and get into the best fishing in Colorado but all in all a really funny video 😂
Thought you lived in Colorado this whole time
this guy is truly funny......😃
Covid changed it all, CO used to be a destination now it’s Disneyland. Miss those days. Funny video though
As a Texan I will just way that he is 100% right... we are not a threat.
Omg... That was the funniest video I've seen in some time. 😂...

Quit telling people to come to Montana please. All those people who are ruining Colorado seem like they are on there way
They’ll move there for a year or so, until a couple cold winters get the best of them hopefully.
you understand this whole video is like, a joke, right?
Spot on, LMAO!!! Front range sucks and thankfully I fish for pike and bass...only target trout when I ice fish.
Yeah Colorado sucks. Don’t come here. Ever.
As a Canadian (from Calgary AB) international student studying in Oregon… the only state I have a keen interest in living in post grad school is Montana 🇺🇸 warmer than Alberta and I know the fishing is almost as good ;)
Whole lotta TRUTH in this one! Anyone upset either hasn’t fished CO or is in complete denial and most likely has zero common sense… But that is a lot of what is wrong with CO these days!
I love this whole heartedly
In 1973, I moved to Denver from near the Idaho panhandle. I took my gear to Deckers and discovered the whole east coast moved there or visited to fish for trout. I immediately thought “if I’m gonna live with 2.5 million people, I want a recreation activity where the more the merrier, rather than one that is best in a wilderness.”
Took up sailboat racing. 50 years later, I fish mostly in Montana. And have recently retired from racing.
huh....I visited there and all I saw were crackheads.
Bring a bag of apples for the mules on the South Platte.
😆😆😆 classic! love it!
Thank you for not hyping up the Gunnison
Brutal dude. Did you mention private water owned by millionaires.
I made a whole video about that
Thanks for the vid. I was going to fly fish Colorado but not now. Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho are the best with Utah runner up. We fished the Bitterroot’s this year. RC is a great place for trout.
I live in Northern Colorado, and for me it’s an equal drive to the North Platte in Wyoming as it is to Deckers, and I will pick Wyoming every time, fishing and fish are miles better.
Glad you're on our side ;-)
You know Ben is legit when he is wearing Kinco gloves.
Can you do North Carolina next please
great video. thanks
Brilliant!
FUCK YES OMG I DIED! the pat dorsey and landon.....
absolutely savage!...so good...
We all know Mississippi is the worst and it’s not even remotely close cannot wait to get out
I really miss the Colorado of the 80's, sad what has happened to the place, especially after they legalized recreational smoking.
