Cutthroat Trout in Gin-Clear Water. Fly Fishing Cutthroat Trout in Southern Alberta, Canada

The peak of summer - low, clear water and free rising cutthroat trout in a remote valley. While it's rare to find these days to yourself, even fly fishing follow-up behind other fly fishers can offer excellent dry fly fishing sessions with cutthroat trout. This day we fly fish in southern Alberta, Canada and apply simple tactics to enjoy several gorgeous cutthroat trout.

Getting stoked to fish that area again this weekend. I journeyed from Buck Lake last weekend looking for clear water in that area. Always a great time, I hooked some nice ones. I'm headed back down there this coming week to target some alpine fish. I will definitely try the river again as a hike towards the lake.

I liked this video so much! The flat water approach, the long leaders, the small flies, the thrill of success, the agony of loosing a few…..all in a day of pro anglers being REAL! I dug the understated music as much as the artfulness of the video. Thanks for sharing!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thanks so much for sharing your appreciation of how we put together a video and how things unfold for us too. It's often the subtle stuff that means a lot to us in the creation of any video so when people like yourself dig those things, we feel the value even more:)

Really nice video. The setting, the crystal-clear waters and some really great subsurface eats caught on camera. Also you can tell it's homewaters. A more relaxed vibe to this video.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Great to hear, it's a gorgeous reach of stream and one we can just chill into given it's cutthroat :)

[@teamlosi11]

Always a pleasure guys!!

[@jensenflyfishing]

thank you!

[@Umakemelaff]

Awesome…that ROCK. Amazing what Mother Nature puts out there..

[@jensenflyfishing]

That gin-clear water flowing over that rock is incredibly 🤩🥰

[@mathewbrust398]

Wow, some amazing fish in a beautiful stream. Dave had a little of the Bob Ross thing going on at the start. Always love watching these.

[@jensenflyfishing]

:) for the love of Bob Ross... :) break it down and go with the flow of life :)

[@Thymallus1965]

Thank you guys. Came across your channel some weeks ago and have through most of your fantastic films. Must say the quality is staggering. You're the best. Cheers Torben, DK

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you and good to hear you enjoy our videos 😊 hope we can continue to get out there and find some neat moments 🍻

Thank you for the video!

enjoyed this one - love the finicky stuff :)

[@KuhChuck]

...you mention that is a new backpack from Orvis. Looks like a new waterproof bag. But I haven't seen anything about it yet from them. ...any idea why the delay?

[@jensenflyfishing]

It is and it should be fairly imminent as far as we know. Every product has a launch cycle and maybe it's not until spring? Worth waiting for. We field test and are included in early prototypes to final versions so there may have been a tweak, or...

[@mattokeefe691]

Thanks Dave and Amelia.

[@jensenflyfishing]

absolutely enjoyed sharing this one :)

[@mattokeefe691]

@@jensenflyfishing the water looked magical

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@mattokeefe691 there are a few great waters that just glow... this is one 😊🍻

[@conorlinehan4434]

I fish tailwaters using this approach on a long 4 wt. great approaches!

[@conorlinehan4434]

My preference is as close to 13 ft and no longer then 14 ft as I can get a nice tapered roll out. 15 ft gives me a hard time with the 4 wt that I have I think.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Gotcha

[@darrellkelly7614]

Great video Dave

[@jensenflyfishing]

great to hear - love the little detaily stuff :)

amazing video

[@jensenflyfishing]

Glad you think so!

[@ephemera3609]

Hi , I am a big fan , I love the channel ,and I cannot thank you enough for the effort you provide for the sport .I have a question : when it comes to euro nymphing , how do you adjust the tippet length vs the water depth ? Many subject matter experts claim if the fly is touching the bottom , the fish won't touch it . Can you please elaborate or make a video .Your help is always appreciated .

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you for the compliments. I'd really look to videos George Daniels has done with New Fly Fisher TV as well as the live videos he's done with Orvis. We can touch on it but those are your 100% best bets right now. To the point of trout not touching nymphs in thr bottom substrate, to claim that absolutely is false as seen in many of our videos. Search our channel using the nymphing word and watch the video with the thumbnail of a brown trout scraping rocks for snails and nymphs. It's a great reminder and reality check 😊🍻

[@Detroit3Pistons]

What rod/line set ups were you using?

[@jensenflyfishing]

helios 3F with hydros DT line, 13 to 16' leader to 5x :)

[@spoonfuloffructose]

Why do you say Trout like "Trote"? What accent is this?

[@jensenflyfishing]

We're Canadians. Kiwis, Aussies, chileans, argentinians, Russians, euros, and 5 or 6 regional slangs in the usa pronounce trout extremely differently so is it worth commenting on? Just a thought! All the best. 🍻

[@spoonfuloffructose]

@@jensenflyfishing It is worth commenting on because that's how you learn.

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@spoonfuloffructose as long as the learning is to the global picture of every culture says the exact same word differently 😊

[@evanhammond7305]

​@spoonfuloffructose weird to me as an Albertan from the Same area as Dave it sounds completely normal. Lol I sometimes say troot as a joke lol.
