FLY FISHING FOR GOLDEN TROUT WIND RIVER MOUNTAINS WY 2014 ABEL ORVIS DRY FLY TAKES

[@jamesjacobson3966]

Ahh Golden Trout. Definitely on my bucket list. Colours put the finest cutthroat to shame👍

[@Bulldogfishmaster]

So awesome! Just got 12 inch stream golden...but had to come back and watch this video again! Giants!! Great love this video!!!

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Awesome Video! Love trout fishing!

[@joshuatatman6438]

Good stuff. looks like a good trip. Goldens are a challenge no matter what.

[@danblumel]

I caught a golden in lower Titcomb basin, in a stream above Island lake. Back in the mid 70's, the only one I ever caught.

[@Benj3897]

Sick fish! I've caught my handful of goldens and am definitely hooked, hoping to make it to the winds soon!

[@steelheadbully]

Benj3897 Thanks for watching!! I try to make it every year and just returned from this years trip!! No huge ones this year, lots in the 6-12inch range.....still a ton of fun! Didn't see anyone for over 5 days!

[@irapoplar-jeffers8778]

This is great! Gotta visit the Wind River Range and catch one of those giant goldens!

[@steelheadbully]

+Ira Poplar-Jeffers Do it!! You won't regret it!!

Only ten miles? You must of hired a guide to take you across the Res. If not it's a 40 mile trek. Did you try the hybrid Golden lakes that are in that area?------one of them kicks out some really big ones.

[@steelheadbully]

Didn't have 3 extra days to waste hiking, even if I did, I would still rather be fishing an extra 3 days. I've heard some of the lakes in that area great for the Hybrids, probably because not many people take the time to get to them. Maybe next time. After being a guide in the Bridger for years and doing a handful trips in the Fitzpatrick, I feel the money spent to get to this drainage might not really be worth it anymore, especially with how hard it is hit for how remote it is.....Kinda why I put this song to the video. I really appreciate you watching!!

[@christopherteyssier7523]

first of all I apologize for the long winded post! Planning a trip mid August hiking Senica lake trail/Indian pass/titcomb basin trail with some side scrambles and spurs 3nights 4 days. First question I plan to pack my 5wt and euro for me and my wife my 6wt. Is the euro rod even worth packing in? How good are all the feeder streams in-between lakes (should I pack that euro rod in)? Second senica/little senica, island lake, and titcomb lake are all marked and look promising. Are any of the unmarked lakes any good or lower jean lake, lost lake, or mistake lake the smaller ones I see on the map? Any particular pattern that work particularly well? Thanks I truly appreciate any help!

[@steelheadbully]

Sounds like you have a nice trip planned. I haven't fished that area since the early 2000's, but if I had to point you in the right direction I would say make Mistake your target for one day at least, best shot at a nice golden in that area, you will have fun fishing Island and the ticomb's, the streams between hold some good smaller fish, your 5wt and 6 wt will be fine with the euro as a back up and also nymph rig if you want. both Jeans have decent cutts if I remember correctly, but don't try to do too much. You'll see some other people on your trip no doubt, but there's a reason a lot of people go to that area, it is amazing.....Orange and grey scuds work well, especially ones tied by Rich ostoff. but we've caught them on a variety of flies including big size 12 royal stimulator's, you just never know, all the trout except goldens seem to go after streamers without hesitation, so use those a bit before you get past Island... have a great trip

[@claudiu1967]

awesome video bro!!! and nice trip!!!!

[@steelheadbully]

Thanks Claudiu!! Hope your catching big ones in CANADA!!

[@jamesiv960]

My and my wife are trying to plan a trip up there this summer, I know everyone is super secretive about where and what flys they use but if you could give any info so we don’t waste our time up there that would be greatly appreciated! Even just the flies you use would be a huge help because especially for my wife who is new to fishing it’s not as much fun when you can see the fish but can’t catch them

[@christopherteyssier7523]

should i bring my 8wt streamer rod?

[@adamdover1403]

What area of the Winds were you in?

[@brianl9944]

Try these two lakes - Faler and Clear. About 10 mile hike from the trailhead at the Green River Lakes.

[@Bulldogfishmaster]

My God...those are HUGE Golden's!! How was the hike and how far was the hike? Awesome bro! Fav. Like and subbed!!

[@steelheadbully]

Really Glad you enjoyed!! About 10 miles to the Golden's, the hike was pretty rough at times on all of us, Thanks for the Like and Sub, I had to Sub back after watching a few of your vids!! Keep up the good work!!

[@Bulldogfishmaster]
