[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Fantastic video!

[@CombatFlyFishing]

Thanks, oldsmugglerflyfishing! I’m grateful you enjoyed it. -Tim

[@armandoveloz5644]

Love it . Hitting the mountain lake in the eagles and elkhorns of eastern Oregon. Even if I told land a fish just the experience love it thanks

[@sonja9001]

I am almost old enough to just watch this kind of thing and not do it myself……but NOT this year! GREAT VIDEO. IT REMINDS ME TO NOT BUSHWACK at my age and to alway carry safety gear just in case I have to spend an unexpected night in the high country without getting hypothermia.

[@CombatFlyFishing]

Yeah, I hate when I'm bushwacking and each step I take becomes worse than the last. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. -Tim

[@gregorykjones]

This is a fantastic video. I am an avid fly fisher and am just getting into alpine hiking. You inspired me!! i think i saw a fish jump at 24:18.

[@CombatFlyFishing]

Thank you for the kind words. There's nothing like fishing in the tundra. Best of luck. -Tim

[@mattsailor4966]

And another one jumping at 26:10

Well done young man. Enjoy wilderness trout fishing. The memories will last a lifetime. I wish I still had the legs and lungs to join you. Tight Lines, Gary R, USAF-Retired

[@CombatFlyFishing]

Thank you, Gary. I appreciate the kind words, and thank you for your service to our nation. -Tim

[@greybearoutdoors6144]

Nice vid! Beautiful fish!

[@CombatFlyFishing]

Thank you. I appreciate you watching. -Tim

[@midcoflyfishing]

Excellent video! Great footage. Two things. Pretty sure you're the first fly guy to quote Mary Tyler Moore. Dig it. I'm with ya. I got it. Two. I'm really good at naming flies. Please lemme take a stab at it when time comes! Now I gotta go watch your newest episode. Thank you for the content. Love it!

[@CombatFlyFishing]

I'm glad you got that obscure 1970's reference. Also, I really appreciate your viewership and would love to hear your ideas on the prototype. I always look forward to reading your comments. -Tim

[@wyodave]

Well done. This my favorite Colorado summer activity. Love "my research"

[@CombatFlyFishing]

Thanks, wyodave. I really appreciate you watching. -Tim

He has a really cool T -Shirt and logo

[@secretamericayoutubechanne2961]

That's pretty high up to still have snow and frozen! Late July 2023, I have this map of the Indian Peaks that shows all the lakes like a ski resort map artist rendition. I may do a whole video on It Trail Tracks Ind. Peaks map. Also the biggest brook was caught in a high alpine lake near Gunnison

[@CombatFlyFishing]

That would be a sweet video. Let me know when it drops. -Tim

[@IROClikethecamero]

I think you caught a laker. I've caught splake before and the pattern was different. But now I need to check these out for myself. I do the same research. The lowest lake is impossible to circumnavigate with all the shrubs. I waded to get around the lake

[@CombatFlyFishing]

Yeah, the consensus amongst the group in the comments is it’s a laker. I almost wore wet wading gear but changed my mind at the truck. -Tim

[@IROClikethecamero]

@@CombatFlyFishing I just have an old pair of hiking boots i will wade in if needed. I hear there is another species at the lowest lake. I have yet to see that for myself

[@theguynamedgage]

He showed his face! All this time i thought he was the neighbor from home improvement

[@CombatFlyFishing]

You’re way too young to know about that 90s pop culture icon. Besides, it’s time for the pubic to match a face to the heavy breathing they hear during the video.

[@wilco50]

Any chance you'll be up there 8/2- 8/4? Coming from CT to visit family. We're camping at Brainard lake and would love to fish at lest one of the lakes. Rather go with someone who knows the area. Jeff

[@zachaldrich2707]

It's a Mackinaw, Splake still have red fins

[@CombatFlyFishing]

That’s good information. Thank you. And thanks for watching the video. -Tim

[@michealcobia7869]

I believe thats a Mackinaw Sometimes they get mixed in with the plant.

[@CombatFlyFishing]

I agree. I think it’s a Mac. Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it. -Tim

[@TuckerDahlin]

Lakers up there, not Splake. Nice video!

[@CombatFlyFishing]

You’re right. Thanks for the info and I appreciate you watching. -Tim
