The tenkara fishing video is wonderful, but the nature scenes you have produced are very beautiful !

[@FlickyFlies]

Thank you so much! It's my favorite part of being out there!

[@stevewalcott9546]

It just doesn’t get much better than this my friend, you’re living the dream! What a beautiful location and beautiful fish. You have a real ability to capture the feel of the whole experience perfectly, I love watching your videos.

[@FlickyFlies]

I truly am, thank you Steve!!

[@rambling_rob7035]

That's my kind of creek. Small and full of fish. My "home water" is just like that. Welcome back, Chris

[@FlickyFlies]

Lucky man! Thanks Rob!

[@JamesRufert-ry7nm]

I love these little creeks

[@robertzylstra6676]

So amazing every time!

[@FlickyFlies]

Thanks so much Robert, glad you think so!

[@michaelsmith7193]

Such elegant and beautiful trout. Even before that rumble of thunder, the saturation of the greenery suggested you were fishing in monsoon season. Thank you for another wonderful angling adventure!

[@FlickyFlies]

Dealt with monsoon storms every day during this 4 day visit, but it's always fun hearing those rumbles, even if they stop the fishing a bit too soon. Thank you Michael!

[@travisnickeystorms]

That forest and creek looked so refreshing! The pretty cutthroats are just the icing on the cake!

[@FlickyFlies]

Absolutely - such a lush place for Colorado. Reminded me a lot of some videos I've seen from Idaho.

[@travisnickeystorms]

@@FlickyFlies yeah I’d say so as well! Between the forest and the colors of the water, it looks like you could have been there.

[@jeffreybrown3603]

One of the prettiest places you have fished. Scenery was unbelievable and the fish were absolutely gorgeous. Love how you interleave the wildlife into your videos. Looking forward to your next one. Thanks so much.

[@FlickyFlies]

That's a big statement considering some of the places I've been lucky enough to see!! I agree though man, such a lush little canyon, and I liked how small the creek was, yet with deep enough pools ... and that aqua green crystal clear water. Shoot, maybe you're right! Thanks for watching as always.

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY. I found a small creek in Colorado Springs near the Garden of the Gods that was full of cut throats, also. Found it with a frisbee on Rampart Range road.

[@FlickyFlies]

Awesome! I haven't really explored that area too much. Sounds lovely! When you say with a frisbee do you mean like "within a throws distance from" etc?

[@rogerdudra178]

@@FlickyFlies How far can you throw a 144 gram tournament master frisbee? The throw I was after got caught by the wind and blew down a steep rock slide which I chased to a creek where I saw a bunch of fish dart suddenly. I'd fish it frequently and give the 'house cook' the fraternity had several 10 fish limits of very fresh brook trout and cut throat trout.

[@FlickyFlies]

@@rogerdudra178 Hah! I read ya. Very cool. I've actually never driven that road ... I'll add it to the list.

These videos are ones which you want to LIKE within the first 10 seconds. I know they are supposed to be fly-fishing-centric, though I greatly appreciate you sprinkling-in some all-natural footage, especially in the middle of this Winter. I like the way a Cutthroat's pattern of spots looks like a fast current moved them from front to back, and that some of the spots just fell off of the tail and drifted downstream.

[@FlickyFlies]

Thanks so much Mitch! Hope you know how much I always enjoy reading your comments! They always make me smile, laugh, feel appreciative ... sometimes all at once. Thanks man.

[@wilsonallen7831]

Great footage

[@FlickyFlies]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it!

[@TroutSoup1]

I hope all the fly fishermen alike are watching your videos and appreciating how you handle the fish; although I strive to do more like the water shots it’s appreciated! We did a Rio grande trip last summer as well and will putting out a video. Good work Chris!

[@TroutSoup1]

Also, meant to respond to your title: surprised you put UNREAL when you might have put REAL fishing. Doesn’t get any better,,,

[@FlickyFlies]

Thanks so much my friend! I'll look out for and watch your video on the Rio Grandes! I love the places they live, really need to get out and explore some more of them this upcoming season.

[@FlickyFlies]

Hard to believe it's real though, eh?!

[@cretudavid8622]

I can't wait to fish for trout again.... In my country, trout fishing is closed until april

[@FlickyFlies]

Ahh!! It'll be here before we know it!

[@tenkaraintheiowadriftless]

You really knocked this one out of the park with your camera work Chris! After the first minute I thought I'd stumbled into a Kraig Adams production. Those were some of the most beautiful cutthroat trout I've ever seen. What an awesome place and amazing experience. Thanks for sharing it. Those TRC guys are certainly getting their money's worth out of you.

[@FlickyFlies]

Kraig Adams is an inspiration of mine. Planning on continuing with these vibes as I film into the new season. In fact, a lot more hiking / cooking / camping and some more relaxing videos in general with even more natural b-roll. I wanna lean into that side of things since that's what I truly love. Along with some fishing, of course!! We'll see how it goes :)

[@streamsidedrifter]

I can’t wait for summer and some destinations like this! Did you mean unREEL though since it’s a tenkara and all?! Haha! Solid video 🎥 🎣

[@FlickyFlies]

Groannnnn!! Haha. Dude, me too. We're gonna get after it big time this season.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Fantastic video mate

[@FlickyFlies]

Appreciate you watching as always!

[@awaken77]

so beautiful colorful fish. the environment is also fantastic. what model of tenkara rod you using here?

[@FlickyFlies]

Thank you! The Tenkara Rod Co. "The Yari" - Sold out now, unfortunately, but if you can find one used I'd definitely reccomend it. Bit of fiberglass in the blank, so much fun for small to medium sized fish.

[@kellymcclarnan3149]

Awesome video! Gorgeous fish!

[@FlickyFlies]

Appreciate it Kelly! Loved this place!

[@craigstockton3103]

Nice place, ideal place to fish.

[@FlickyFlies]

Agreed completely Craig! Want to get back and explore some more of this place, for sure. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@craigstockton3103]

That place was Tenkara perfection. I think this is exactly where Tenkara shines. Thanks for another awesome vid.@@FlickyFlies

[@FlickyFlies]

Oh for sure!! That perfect pocket water where tenkara just works best. I will say though, some of those flatter pools towards the end of the video could have used a longer rod or a lightweight fly rod. Much lower gradient and quite spooky fish.

[@craigstockton3103]

exactly. that's why we carry longer rods. I always carry my 17' Suntech. @@FlickyFlies

[@adamr1162]

Beautiful day. The reward for that climb was awesome. Those fish are amazing. What time of year was that?

[@FlickyFlies]

They really were! Wish I had more time there. This was August 27th.

[@yussefedwards]

When you capture video of the fish while in the net and on the release, are you using your go pro? Phone? Or tripod camera?

[@FlickyFlies]

Mixture of phone and big camera tripod. Phone if my camera is far away, tripod camera if not. I'll set my net down in the water, propped against some rocks to make a livewell of sorts while I grab the big camera.
