[@PopHebert-uh5zx]

Gorgeous trout, gorgeous water, gorgeous mountains! 😊 Is it fact that the bright red coloring of these rainbows are the result of a diet of mysis shrimp? -tim 🤔

[@tonyclaussen4522]

Great video!! makes me want to go back to the Taylor

[@niamagpie]

Appreciate you doing a meaningful giveaway for the subscriber. I just want to drop in my entry for the big day.

[@brendangallagher3705]

Nice work man! love the video.

[@benpyeatt9986]

I’m new to your videos, and fly fishing, but it looks great. Those were some good sized fish you we’re catching

[@jimmycollrow146]

Beautiful fish. There is no beauty in catching bass hahaha

[@xaviergonfishin]

I love bass fishing, but you’re definitely right about that haha. I would say though that smallmouth are some of the coolest looking fish out there! Thanks for watching

[@nivesworx]

Looks like the channel is getting crowded in here. Keep it up bro.

Great video Dude! I've been fly fishing for about 25 years and never thought to fish at night, you've inspired me to do so, thanks for that. That reel rod combo is nice, fingers crossed I get it. I'm sure you'll hit 1,000 subscirbers very soon. TIGHT LINES!!!

[@konalux06]

Looks like a fun river!

[@mizermira]

Epic journey from start to 800 subs. You deserve it!

[@Realtreeg]

Awesome video! That first rainbow was an awesome fight. The tug is the drug

[@Canethemane]

Love the Taylor! Such a fun fishery and that area is a portal to so many fish! I live in durango and just travel around colorado so good to see fellow fisherman getting after it!

[@kiranlambert]

Amazing catch.

[@starzdusty]

Beautiful brow trout. Tight line bro.

[@bjsync]

[@isaiahyazzie3354]

Awesome first fish!

[@devilselbow69]

Looks like you are on target in reaching another milestone very soon. So keep up the work!

[@seanhamashige9287]

I must say I have never done great on the Taylor. I usually get way more sags than fish. I always do much better on the East, Gunnison or Cochetopa.

[@shannonkirbee]

Congratulations on the subscribers advancementso far! Keep em upload coming in the new year bro!

[@youmingliu271]

Dang always wanted to try the Taylor but haven't been because it's so far. Going to have to try it once the weather warms up.

[@alexinzurriaga3646]

Always fun to watch another local land some, great vid

[@xaviergonfishin]

Thank you so much!

[@bigmoose964]
