You're such a good advocate for northern New Mexico. Thank you.

[@FLYALLSZN]

It is truly an enchanting place! I am so lucky I get to bum around and explore it!

[@richardbinell2053]

Lovely work. Spectacular adventure. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@gregoryk.tanaka4285]

Great video, thanks! Superb dialogue as you were fishing. Beautiful fish of all types. I once lived in New Mexico and wish I had known about the Rio Grande Gorge. Thank you!

[@FLYALLSZN]

It’s well worth the hike down!

[@ThePanamaCollection1-lv5po]

Really appreciate how you give the viewers an idea of where you are - no way that places like this will be "overrun", because very few people will be willing to make that hike. Most fly fishing videos that act like it's a big secret are pretty worthless - unless of course you just want to watch some dude catching fish. Keep up the good work !

[@ericstewart4732]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@brucearnold6599]

Great video as always It was also nice to see you again today

[@FLYALLSZN]

Hell yeah! So good to see you too! Gotta make my yearly pilgrimage back!

[@albert_rodriguez4916]

My new favorite channel!I was planning on hiking and mountain biking in April in New Mexico. Now that I found your channel all my plans are quickly changing to add fly fishing!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Water can be a little tough to deal with but this fishing in new mexico is amazing!

[@andrewscott95]

My dad lives in taos. Looks gorgeous!! Nice fishing and video again Mike

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much! Taos is amazing!

[@stephenbrody2717]

Mike loved this one for sure. Cool veiw hiking out. Looked a bit crazy. Lot of vertical. The fishing was great too. Thanks for always showing your rig set up. Curious about weight placement? Thanks

[@nickmahoney8046]

Just bought land here and im so stoked!

[@FLYALLSZN]

You are in for a treat Nick! It’s truly magical out there!

[@michaelrickert7999]

This video is great. It transported me out of Iowa to a wonderful location.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much Michael!

[@benitocastillo4899]

Aye my guy u gotta try out the san juan amazing fishing with little midges

[@scottrick5190]

Mike, the effort you put into into the content is unbelievable. I always look forward to your vids, never disappointing! Be careful out there.🎣🇺🇸

[@FLYALLSZN]

It’s so fun to capture these memories! The work put in is more often than not just plain fun for me haha thank you as always Scott! I will measure every step! 🙌🏼

[@showmemotion]

pretty sweet

[@stevenschoppmann4946]

What a rewarding day trip. You were on fish every hole. Climb out looked real challenging.

[@FLYALLSZN]

It was such a good day!! Climb out was really rough.. I would not recommend that to anyone..

[@braisten]

I hope to see you cash in on the FASADD rig someday. Absolute game changer that impresses every time! Great video once again. Rock Chalk

[@FLYALLSZN]

As long as folks out there use it and love it thats all the cash I need! Rock Chalk Brother!!

[@braisten]

@@FLYALLSZN Beautiful response. If so, I made you a millionaire this past summer!

[@DonGilbertoGuruledeNuevoMejico]

¡Puro Nuevo Méjico! We have the oldest capital in North America, wild west shit still happens every day out here, God bless

[@FLYALLSZN]

Big time!!

[@matthoggard3913]

Great video! Reminds me of me and my buddy Dan 25 years ago. We used to hike in from the hatchery at Questa down to where the Red and Rio meet. It’s a haul but damn we caught some big brownies and nice cut bows! I like your discipline and time management too. It’s easy to get caught by sunset and have a dark and dangerous hike out. Makes me want to go back!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much Matt!! You have to really start managing your time and energy well when you are down in a place like that! Things can go bad quick!

[@Brandonv5280]

taos is one of my favorite places to visit... sad I wasn't able to make it out this year

[@FLYALLSZN]

It is so amazing! Hopefully you can make it out that way soon.

[@loganlucas43]

Dude you have to come try the trout streams in the Appalachian mountains, grew up in southwest Virginia and could drive less than an hour each direction to a great creek/river.

[@FLYALLSZN]

That would be the next on my list! I really wanna make it out that way!

[@garycampbell7999]

That’s why I’m here (new subscriber.) The where and the how to. Mike, you defined the gorge in this trip.

[@FLYALLSZN]

That is exactly what I was going for! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevenhoag69]

Nice video, well done. I was on the fence about going to Taos to fly fish but I think your video convinced me to go. I'm heading that way in 3 weeks.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Early Fall is the best time to go! It can be tricky but if you crack into them, it can be amazing!

[@CarlosGarcia-507]

Bro who stamped your Norte’ New Mexico pass?? Jk man! I’ve fished almost every spot in your vids and you make them look that much more beautiful! Welcome to the land of entrapment! Hope to see you on the water some day! ✌🏼

[@FLYALLSZN]

My pass?

[@plantbasednm5099]

Sweet! What time of year was this ? Looks beautiful

[@robcowgill9845]

Time for huevos rancheros and a chicken enchilada...well earned...There are some big trout in NM but, you sometimes need to walk quite the distance...It can be dangerous to do it alone so, be careful..Don’t ignore those walleye and smallmouth at Conchas and Ute lakes....They have some whoppers there...great videos good sir..

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much Rob! I agree you gotta pay that brass tax!

[@DZ-vr6ue]

man I love these videos, it is my dream to do what he does.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much David!!

[@blairart6510]

Nice bushwack out, the bouldering wasn't enough? Or going bushwack was better then bouldering up or down to a trailhead. 🤣

[@FLYALLSZN]

Gotta do what I gotta do! For sure not advisable! But I was going to be hiking out in the dark if I didn’t!

[@justinreyes4196]

Just started watching your videos, and I’m loving them man! That last cast and hook set on the last fish you caught was insane 🤯 Also, what kind of reel were you using for this trip?

[@thatoneguy4412]

Awesome videos bro. We should fish sometime. I work at CRA in Mogote Co. on one of the best fisheries in the SW. Haven't been on the Rio in a few years and was planning a trip after the New year. Anyways, keep up the good work bro! Tom.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much Tom! The Rio is so amazing! There’s really something for anyone down there.

[@tomgregory6275]

RIo Hondo access is also full of big trout, it is not a hard walk, drive and park, lots of Rocky Mt Big Horn Sheep and some cute bathers in the hot spring about a 1/3 mile on west side of Rio Grande...only the San Juan below Navajo is better for size, but both place you need best foot wear for mossy rocks. I filmed this on another unbelievable fishery, Rio De Los Pinos, easy walk down the RR tracks down from Osier Co to New Mexico, great for med to large trout! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o16qdWesnaZmhNE

[@treceur6195]

have you ever had problems with hook sets on the adj. hopper? seems like it would slip down the leader material

[@FLYALLSZN]

I haven’t! You can use my videos as proof. Almost 2 years of catching fish with it

[@lynh8378]

Do you always do catch and release or is it dependent on where you fish?

[@FLYALLSZN]

I love to keep a few fish! Just depends on the adventure.

[@graysonhackler6456]

Question from a new subscriber: What is that at 18:44? Is that a rig ready to go?? That must make switching between rigs so much easier!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Yes! It is a pre-made leader with a completely new rig.

[@gastonsaimon10]

Hi my friend ,have a new suscriptor,where is this location ,thank you

[@tumtum4023]

Bro… getting into fly fishing for trout. I’m a seasoned fisherman but, novice at fly fishing. I’m looking for gear and I’ve boiled it down to a 5wt but, not sure of the length of rod. I’ve seen 5wt from 7’-9’ the waters I’ll be fishing will not be big. What length would you recommend? I’m going to be fishing West Virginia streams. -love your channel btw 👌

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much!! If I had to put money down it would have to be the 9’ 5wt no doubt! It’ll get you far

[@tumtum4023]

WHAT SIZE SURGICAL TUBING DO YOU YOUSE FOR THE DRY DROPPER

[@chriswilson5365]

Great Videos Guys! I'm a school teacher and teach an outdoor skills class thats sponsored by our wildlife department. We watch your videos in class as my students get a kick out of watching yall catch trout as do I. I'd like to know what size tubing you use to make those adjustable droppers. I want to try it but never caught what size tubing your using to make them. Thanks

[@stephenwilliamson7040]

Would you please show me the way that you have your net sat up and we’re you have placed
