INCREDIBLE Catch & Cook Colorado Trout at 12K Feet! Tenkara Fly Fishing in the Colorado Rockies

This fly fishing trip was awesome, I caught a huge cutthroat at a high altitude lake while camping there for two days. That fish made for an excellent dinner, I really enjoyed frying up two FAT pieces of fish for me and my buddy, Brad. Hope you all enjoy the scenery from one of my favorite spots to fish in Colorado!

Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.

What an excellent episode! You made me long for Colorado and fishing. Beautiful!! Great job man! Thanks for this one! I’m desperate to go there someday. Cheers, Trever

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

There are some really great high altitude spots out here, Trever! Let me know when you make it out this way and we'll hit some water together. Had a great time on this particular trip. that big ole cutthroat sure was a beauty!

[@INTHEOUT]

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures I will for sure! Colorado is a bucket list trip for me. And what a fish! Awesome!

[@samharrington181]

Checking it off my list next week!!

How fun are those old timer jeeps! What a fun group!

[@markhaley5358]

It's nice to see that area again. I'm really happy you're in better health to get back to you favorite spots. I hope to get my Tenkara out a little more before winters comes. Cheers!

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Thanks Mark, I sure am glad to be feeling better these days!

[@ridingwithrusso7790]

Great video!

[@Donya_and_Priya]

That fish!!! What a monster!!!

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

I was floored when I got it into my net!

[@evilcam]

That was a nice fish and it looked super tasty to me. I have not had trout in awhile, but I think you're inspiring me to go get some. Also, that Willys Jeep caravan was pretty cool too. I'd imagine there are not too many trails that could keep those old yet incredibly solid machines away.

[@OdySlim]

I have never cought a trout that big! Congratulations! Regards from Ody Slim

[@ZacTexC]

Just left Tin Cup. Moose everywhere

[@scottyocum7652]

Great video Brian! That trout was huge! Old Jeeps were something to see as well. Take care, looking forward to the trip this Spring.

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Hey Scott! I'll be back in AZ for the month of November so hopefully we'll have a chance to connect. I hear the storms are still raging out there!

[@deaconmma3048]

wow nice fish!

[@bryanbergstrom5686]

Have not been to that lake for a long time. Nice fish. Wow the mine on the road has really fallen down since I was last there.

[@TheSaxon1321]

Ohh man so glad i fouind this channel again! I lost you after the rebrand!

GREAT ENDING ~peace~

[@tubadude905]

Fished there many times...very historic mining and railroad area. Nice cut!

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Thanks Tuba Dude, having this big hog on the line was a great way to start the week!

[@allenjanney8429]

Good one man! I need to get out to Colorado. Your living the life

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

If you make it out here then let's be sure to connect for some fishing and campfires!

Hello. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@samsonitte1]

Just curious if you can say what area of Colorado this was. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@OdySlim]

At 13 I learned to drive in a 42 Willys. What fun!

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Right on, these are such cool rigs!

[@CLTRDMLK]

Have you ever tried to use moisture absorber packets to help with condensation in your truck? They’re super cheap and effective.

[@Happycamper1998]

I saw them in Salida getting ready to start their trip. You should check out the Ark River at Helca Junction CG.

Good Afternoon Brian and Sierra ωραία ψάρια στο ποτάμι του Colorado μαζί με το φίλο σου τον Brand η πέστροφα πρέπει να είναι πολύ νόστιμη 🎣 φιλάκια πολλά στην Sierra 💋 Love Love

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Αυτό το ψάρι ήταν ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα που έχω πιάσει, έκανε ένα υπέροχο γεύμα!

[@alexaapoe]

Brian you will know you have found the right woman when you love her the same or as much as YOUR dog 🐕 Sierra; and I feel the same about a 👨 hahaha 😂 🤣 😆 Love how you ♥️ Sierra!

Hi from Maine.

You might consider a portable electric bear fence for shore lunches or camping in bear country. 2.4 lbs for huge peace of mind.

[@Shotgun-rider]

You should be using Everglades seasoning for all your fish an seafood everybody does on u-tube it's the number 1 seasoning they also use Louisiana for the breading

[@tedlivermore6955]

Didnt know you were allowed to keep those.Awesome trout.

[@garyrafferty7625]

Yeah ... he got his just desserts. Skunked the next day and overrun by invaders! Bring up some spam next time!😁

[@patriciamcknight14]

Oh those trap let me so hungry

[@patdayton3219]

Hey Brian would you do a video on your winter hot tent and gear that you use. Your truck as well please. Very interested in knowing.

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Hey Pat, sure I'll do a rundown of all that stuff as soon as I get into the Big Tent. Be on the lookout for it roughly the first part of December. Thanks for the video idea! ~ Brian

[@patdayton3219]

Lol how about a camp set up video as well. Another video idea. And also are all of your sites actual campgrounds.

[@samvonschrader5201]

Hey there Brian! I’ve been coming out to the mountain back country my whole life from Wisconsin and recently moved to Colorado Springs and was looking to get back to the back country. If you have some time to chat I’d love to talk

[@DanBrinkmann]

Isn’t this near the Sasquatch sighting?

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Hey Dan, good memory! Yes, this is near where the incident took place.

[@DanBrinkmann]

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures that story still gives me the creeps

[@kimmymale]

Please share where this was taken.

[@jeannepalumbo6514]

Sadly. due to people abusing and trashing Walmart parking lots. many no longer allow overnight parking.

[@ricksutton2902]

You guys out fishing in them rural areas do you have problem the game Warden checking your license

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Hi Rick, I've never seen a game warden in the backcountry in all my years. I carry a license but have yet to get it checked out by anyone official.

[@keeganwatts1199]

i know that many places in colorado where cutthroat is release only. If anyone has extra insight let me know - my best guess is this is a location where that preserve act is disregarded

[@user-sq7zy3ej3r]

I would have packed a can of tuna and let this fish go

[@InfamousKiddXD]

Where was this ?

[@Garrett.cheney]

Hello Sir, in the most respectful way, I would take this down before the ol’ govy boys see this video or you get reported. It is 100% illegal to keep cutthroats in Colorado. I hope you don’t think I’m hating that was a beautiful fish. Just looking out for you. (I live here as well). Have a good one. Hope you take my advice.

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

No it isn't, the only one that is illegal to harvest is the greenback cutthroat.
