Fly Fishing a Mountain Stream FULL of Hungry WILD Brookies | High Country | FLY FISHING COLORADO

There are very few experiences that are as enjoyable to me as catching wild trout on dry flies amidst the solitude and tranquility of an untamed high elevation mountain stream; this is something that I eagerly look forward to and anticipate every summer. But with the unusually heavy winter that Colorado experienced this year, while great for the state, unfortunately meant that I'd have to practice being patient a little bit longer, as peak runoff from the snowpack extended well into late June rendering most high elevation waters unfishable. But thankfully the runoff eventually waned as warmer days settled in, signaling that the long awaited moment had finally arrived to venture out into the high country. So me, my dad, and my father-in-law grabbed our fly rods, stocked our fly boxes with terrestrials, and loaded up the truck to set out for one of my favorite Brook Trout streams hoping for a day of great fishing in the beautiful and remote Colorado high country.

They sure are hungry in that stream. I fish it every year at least once and they're a lot of fun...watch out for the moose critters! Very nice video!

[@trout.addiction]

Thank you! It's one of my favorite places. I've only seen one moose in all my time spent up there, made sure to keep my distance!

Plenty of great water in that area! Be sure to stop into local fly shops as well, more often than not they’re willing to help out

[@NickAndCaroline]

Wow what a beautiful area. At 9:34 I wonder what kind of bug (or bird?) that was!

[@trout.addiction]

Wow, great eye! I believe it was a bird, but couldn’t tell you which kind
