Fly Fishing the Denver South Platte | HOME WATERS: EPISODE 1

[@paulfinger6975]

GREAT! Nice to see a local guide not only fishing local but demonstrating technique and flies that are used.

[@benkreczko9168]

Love the video and stoked for this series, awesome stuff Xavier!

[@123yrmama]

Ive been riding down in that area alot lately. Thats so awesome to see the fish. Nice work !

[@bmares41]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Inspired me to get out and do some fishing. Looking forward to your series.

[@GoldenFlyShopCO]

Thanks for watching and best of luck on the water!

[@lostwatersflyfishing]

Looks like a sweet fishery!

[@GoldenFlyShopCO]

Definitely a different vibe on the DSP, but it certainly is a fantastic fishery right at our feet! Thanks for watching

[@strider833]

Could you expand on why you would not fish that ripple section you spoke about in the beginning with changing water temps? Thanks!

[@FoxWithAFlyrod]

I caught a hog of a rainbow in Littleton South Palette on a red brassie, had to been at least 19-20 inches

[@GoldenFlyShopCO]

That's a great section to fish, more and more fish have been lasting in the river over summer thanks to the cut of zero flow days from Chatfield. Glad you got a good one, thanks for watching!

[@FoxWithAFlyrod]

@@GoldenFlyShopCO thank you! Also i am slapping that sub for you!

[@chrisbukowski9434]

Looking good

[@rreynier]

Curious, any reason you decide to work downstream instead of upstream? Ive always been told going downstream like this spooks all the fish since they are looking your way. Thought clearly this works :)

[@GoldenFlyShopCO]

Yes, generally it's best to fish going upstream. However, this day all the fish seemed to be below wherever I accessed and was forced to fish downstream. Thanks for watching!

[@dopecard4297]

I just get nervous about the needle fish through town!

[@GoldenFlyShopCO]

Haha there are definitely needle fish, where your boots and waders! Thanks for watching

Nice job! I've seen that bridge in a couple videos. What area of downtown us that? I'm from the Springs, I've been down there a couple times and can't seem to find it? I have yet to get a bite anywhere downtown South Platte but I keep tryin!👍

[@steazemonster80216]

Towards the REI

[@SazzbinnSmutz]

I have fished this river for years and years, there is no fish. Nothing. Every time I go, nothing, not even the hint of a bite.

[@steazemonster80216]

Go try the outlet of chatfield where the platte begins there’s tons of trout, use a worm & be ready to set the hook they’re quick

[@bb-hr9dg]

Step your game up.

[@SazzbinnSmutz]

@bb-hr9dg ain't no fish

[@andywiggens1069]

funny how he doesn't mention that that river is sewage...and you can't get the smell out of your nose

[@gmen1305]

Personally - I'd rather drive 2 hrs to fish the Colorado river, even if I get skunked and then drive the 2 hrs back - I think I'd prefer that rather than fishing downtown which is 20 minutes away

[@GoldenFlyShopCO]

Different strokes for different folks! We're just looking to highlights our home waters that are well used, but have little publicity. Thanks for watching

[@greggoldman893]

And this is why traffic oni70 is unbearable.

[@gmen1305]

@@greggoldman893 The traffic on I70 is bad because you have more than 1M people (that's just Denver & Boulder) trying to take the only 2 lane road west of Evergreen to get away from the city - gezzzz

[@greggoldman893]

@@gmen1305 1M? Maybe 30 years ago! Add to the folks going west, people joy riding west then east for a few hours. Volume, weather, construction, slow moving vehicles, rubber nickers, crazy speed violators (75+)…amazing there isn’t more carnage

So on a video about fishing home waters you always have some clown who feels the need to spew what he would do?? Little tidbit for said clown, nobody cares go make a video of you driving and see if anyone watches it
