The TOP 10 fishing spots in Colorado - McFly Angler Fly Fishing

[@farmerbob4554]

Colorado is an absolute treasure for fly fishing. I hope you have a chance to put together a second group of 10 Colorado best!

[@McFlyAngler]

I hope to go back and fish it again, but I don’t know what lies in my future. But yes, there isn’t much better than Colorado for fishing and anything outdoors really.

[@eftheusempire]

I appreciate you showing the small ones you got as well. Thats a good way to tell the difference between, as me and my best friend say, an "angler and a fisherman." Youre an angler my friend. Much respect

[@McFlyAngler]

Thank you for the comment. Sometimes the small ones are the most rewarding depending on how it is caught. I have caught some large trout that weren’t too difficult to bring in or even hook, but have had some small ones I spend 30 minutes trying to cast to and finally get the take. To me, the small one that was harder to catch was more rewarding. Hope that makes sense.

[@rxflyfishing1316]

Awesome bro! Really cool to revisit these trips dude. Thanks for including our trip to Jemez man! 👍 hope you’re doing well

[@McFlyAngler]

I’m doing good, still have some issues, but hopefully the gastroenterologist can figure it all out. Trying to stay positive about it until i know for sure! How are you? I saw you sporting my shirt the other day, thanks man!

Only you and 200,000 other people from denver know about it shhhh!

[@rstevengumbay5730]

@@Ryan-zc1tz ahh, always room for a cynical comment. Although the spot I call my favorite is know by a few others (maybe locals only), I can assure you it is incredibly inaccessible & far too much work for 99% of flyfishermen. 60 years of fishing Colorado has me convinced we exceeded the number of people for healthy pressure on lakes & streams.

[@Ryan-zc1tz]

A bonus in that has been: flyfished South Island of New Zealand & 2 yrs ago flyfished some(not near enough) in Patagonia plus numerous safaris through East Africa. the world has too much to offer to stay in Colorado.

[@websterlivestock]

Colorado Native living along the banks of the Brazos River here in Texas. Looking to make a move back to Colorado at some point but there is some good fly fishing here too ( kinda). Stripper sit under the dams on the tail water side and go crazy when there are water releases from the reservoirs.

[@McFlyAngler]

For sure, good fishing here I know. Different fishing though. While I enjoy it, I have to learn the new techniques. Lol!

[@jonpatterson7211]

Don't know if this will clear anything up or just muddy the water a little more. The Bull Trout you caught is a member of a family of fish called Charrs. That includes the Brook Trout, Lake Trout, Arctic Char, and of course the Bull Trout. That may explain the resemblance between the Brookie and the Bull. Hope this helps. Of course there are probably other viewers out there who may be better versed than I, and who can correct me and help clear up any confusion.

[@McFlyAngler]

No your right it’s not a bull..... I had thought it was just a light colored Brooke (which it was) but I had a bunch of people correct me on the first video and said it was a bull trout. I believed them and just went with it. Found out after this video They were wrong.

[@stevearrowood7430]

I've also fished the Durango area along with that pool on Cascade Creek, but you really missed alot of the gems. East and West Taylor is great outside of Gunnison. The Arkansas River stretch between Leadville and Salida, the Colorado, Flaming Gorge, etc. and the epic fishing on the Front Range. North and South Platte and Poudre River or even the Big Thompsen all trump the southwest venues IMO. Nice video tho.

[@McFlyAngler]

Glad you liked the video. No question there are some great spots not just in and around that area. However it was a list of my best spots. Considering it was 5-8 hour drive for some of the really great spots you suggested, I didn’t get to hit them too often. So I just was going on what trips were top trips for me. More like a Colorado highlight reel for my channel. Hope that helps.

I will share when it’s already a well known spot but not a place that is one of those unknown secrets. Sorry. Most fly shops won’t share those spots either…. They will tell you the more popular spots until they see you often and know you can be trustworthy on who you share the secret spots with.

[@Mavgaming_1]

Looking to start fly fishing in Kansas for bluegill and stocked trout. Any tips? Good beginner rod? Good flys?

[@McFlyAngler]

So I’ve never fished Kansas, but I would say a 5wt is fine. If you can find a place willing to do casting lessons it will help elevate some frustration, but over time you can learn to cast without the lessons. For a beginner rod, you don’t want to do one of those cheap big box store “kits”. You will want to replace just about every item in that kit over time. I personally would spend more money on the rod than the reel. And for flies, I’d get done at the local fly shop where they can tell you what is working in the area. If you want some affordable flies, and a really good fly rod setup, go to www.risenfly.com and use my discount there. My discount is McFly and it will get you a discount of anything in your shopping cart at checkout. You can buy some flies, like, tippet, rod/reel. The ITB rod is a great starter rod, and paired with their Armor reel, you have an amazing setup for about $200. That’s where I would start. If you go much cheaper you will want to replace the items quickly. But if that’s too much money, I’d just get a cheap reel, and stick with a higher end rod. The reel is basically just a line holder with trout and what not. I rarely use the drag. So spend your money on a good rod and good line. If you have to save money somewhere, go with a less expensive reel.

[@Mavgaming_1]

@@McFlyAngler Thanks! Don't really have any local fly shops around me only one that I know of is Cabellas (which isn't a local shop) and that's a 3 hour drive away, but I like to study the water and see what the fish are eating. Right now bluegill are eating dragonflys. I have fished very heavily for about a year and can use a baitcaster. Also I'm 15 so I'm in that stage in life where I like to learn by myself so I will probably teach myself with the help of videos. I will have to go with the cheap option if I want to start now, but might be able to work up to a better set-up. Thanks for the reel tip that will help. Thank you for your time and knowledge. Sincerely, Mavrik.

[@McFlyAngler]

Well good luck man! As for flies, check out that shop, you can get in expensive flies from risen, at only 90c each (cheaper with my discount). I’d look for some dragonfly nymphs then if they are hitting that. Really any large nymph for the bluegill. The trout might be more picky.

The armor reel is not a sealed drag reel. The LW is though. The LW is $145, and much less after the discount I give all my subs. I’d check that one out if your going to dunk it in salt water. Or their new reel the whale, which is specifically made for saltwater applications. The armor is an economical reel, that doesn’t quite have all the same bells and whistles as their higher end offerings. But it’s a good reel, just not fully sealed.

I've already seen a few other people comment this, but you need to keep fish in the water for as long as possible, especially after a long fight. Just in the first few clips it's obvious how long you're keeping them out for your shots, and it's very harsh on an already exhausted fish. This is very poor fish handling and with a video getting 50k views, you should make sure your ill-informed viewers know that this is improper and unethical instead of trying to defend yourself in the comments against those who know better. I'm sure we've all made these mistakes at some point, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be corrected. We have no bull trout in Colorado. Might have been a lake or brook. Hope Texas is treating you well. ✌

Alrighty…. Take care bro

[@russelllieser4226]

In Colorado 1 or 2 fish every year is good on a fly.

[@McFlyAngler]

What? Sorry I’m confused... 1-2 fish a year caught in Colorado is good? Dang! I’m lucky than, I caught around 1000+... haha

[@russelllieser4226]

On bait yes. Fly?

[@McFlyAngler]

I don’t bait fish except with my 5yo...

It’s so frustrating watching these and not getting the names of the streams. People, please start sharing these locations, we all love fishing and nature, we are only on this earth short time, share this stuff. I’m watching this from Maryland, at best I would get to fish these places one time in my life. Those of us that watch these vids are not the type to destroy places

[@McFlyAngler]

I can’t give away names of streams on the internet man. Part of the fun is finding places yourself right? I did give away some spots before and then they instantly had people come and destroy the spots. Almost got me killed even, had death threats from other fisherman because people that came and killed fish at the spots. Sorry bro, not giving away spots

@@McFlyAngler appreciate you responding, I get what your saying, unfortunately many people are ignorant and disrespectful. I’m not one of those people, when I fish I’m the guy who hauls out trash left by others and I release everything. You have a great channel, nice content, I f I had one I would prob say where I was fishing, that’s just me, then again maybe I wouldn’t I don’t know older I get the less I want to be around people anyway. Tell you what of you ever make it to Maryland hit me up I will turn you on to some spots, not the west but there is some nice fishing..
