Were these perfect conditions? | No way this happened twice | Fly Fishing Colorado

We spent a week in South Fork last September. I was hoping to fish the Rio in the canyon downstream from Rio Grand Reservoir but the lake was discharging green water. The whole river downstream to Creede was filled with green moss. Even at that same bridge the water was green and slimy. It had been a hot summer I was told. I decided to concentrate downstream around that same campground and walked upstream on the same tracks. The water quality was much better. Managed to catch 4 or 5 nice browns in the 14” to 16” range.. I was told that canyon fished really well in July. Thanks for another great video.

You bet KJ! So glad you enjoyed! That mid to upper teens fish seems to be the average!!

[@bssaassin1900]

The good ol rio grande. One of my favorite colorado rivers. I've noticed it seems to be a brown dominant river but I've hooked a few bows here and there. I went last year in the middle of December and most of the river was still frozen but was able to find a sliver of open river and nail a handful of browns with a hares ear trailing behind a black stone.

[@FLYALLSZN]

There were so many browns! They were spunky as hell!

A good day in a beautiful place, it doesn't get much better! Keep em coming Mike.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you Scott! It was a fun start.. but lemme tell you day 2 was something out of a dream..

[@scottrick5190]

Looking forward to day 2.

[@MrKindermusik]

I hope you can make it to the Flat Top Wilderness in Colorado one day. Such great fishing up there!

[@FLYALLSZN]

I might have to add it to my list!

[@burkeylynnadventures]

Really good - video, story and trip! Every time I watch your vids you give me a new place to add to my list to fish. I'm a CO resident but not been to the Rio yet. And wow it showed great! Thanks for the great vids and sharing.

[@FLYALLSZN]

I love it!! There is so much to see! Definitely consider making your way down!

[@davidwahler1]

Just discovered your channel. Really enjoying it. Keep up the great work! Ya'll are hitting a lot of my local waters. I hail from Rio Rancho.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Glad you found it! And even happier you enjoy! Thank you for the support David 🙏🏼

[@brandonrivera5599]

I love these videos, they make me immediately want to go explore and go fishing. Shout out the discord too, some knowledgeable friendly folks in there.

[@FLYALLSZN]

This watershed might be blown out for a bit! But when this river is hot, it’s hard to beat!

[@bradyhill2136]

Great video as always. I love the Colorado scenery and I can’t wait to make it out there one day. For now though the Missouri blue ribbons will due

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much Brady! Word on the steam is that the blue ribbon circuit is popping off right now!!

[@bradyhill2136]

@@FLYALLSZN I hope so. I graduated on Friday looking to make a send around a few this week on a little celebration trip while I’m waiting to line up a job.

It’s so funny.. we have SUCH different approaches.. I carry EVERYTHING.. and he has next to nothin haha

[@anonymous108]

“The land of guides and locals” totally agree on the guide part lol, Colorado is disturbingly commercialized can only imagine being there before the population boom.

[@FLYALLSZN]

It is extremely commercialized. There are still plenty of places you can go and be alone! You just have to skip the easy access or do what we did and fish an off season.

[@coleholloway2523]

Great video man!

Thank you so much cole!
