Secrets for Landing Trophy Trout Fly Fishing the South Platte River at Spinney Mountain, CO

In this episode, I travel west of Colorado Springs to fly fish for trophy trout in the South Platte River leading into Spinney Mountain Reservoir.

As they say, Quality over Quantity can be well worth it! Very nice fish dude! Congrats!

Awesome vid! Super cool that you caught something that nice the final day. Magical.

[@jimmy007scott]

Every time I go up to 11 Mile Spinney I stop by the local fly shop bring a dozen donuts for the guides who are heading up there too for the day and ask what they’re using right now, otherwise you can flail around up there all day changing flies and not catch a thing. BTW biggest Spinney trout I’ve caught was 7 pound brown October about 9 PM on a mouse fly.

@@fightthelies4349 nice!

I’ve fished a bunch above Spinney it’s a bit tough to get to watch out for the Buffalo but has huge fish in the fall well worth it. I live about 60 miles away.

Where can you get those eggs from? Looks like the place you mentioned is permanently closed now

[@monglor83]

Looks like a male cutbow to me. Way to stick with it!

[@fightthelies4349]

Was just at the dream stream. Caught 25 salmon in 4 hours. Plus a couple trout. I make a glass egg that works!!!
