I've fished it many times. Great fishing with lots of public access below and above Platoro and around Aspen Glade/Menkhaven. The only problem I have with it is the RAIN! Monsoon is brutal here. You realistically can only fish a few hours a day because of the rain. Don't EVER hit the stream without a rain jacket. What he is catching is normal, mostly nice browns. The elevation is around 9000 feet.

I know what you mean. I used to use light weight sun gloves while fishing, but haven’t in a long time. I wasn’t wearing gloves in this vid either. It’s actually a Simms light weight, long sleeve hoodie. My thumbs are thru the thumb holes on the sleeve portion. I’ll try to remember to pop my thumbs out of that when handling fish. I always wet my hands before touching fish. I figured if those sleeve were wet as well it wouldn’t be much of an issue.
