Wrong time of year but thanks for watching.

Why did McDonald’s catch a stray?

I’m sure he thinks he is.

Yea, it was right at 6pm and the fishing was just starting to pick up. I yelled up at him but he acted like he couldn’t hear me. By the time he got out I was over it.

I mean I’d get it if it were a river crossing but he was just looking for a place to get off the highway and drive through wild trout habitat.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip David! I’m pinning your comment.

Hey Tim, for sure! Such a great place.

Hey Gary - will definitely will be out March and April. Not sure if I’ll be on the eagle but there’s a good chance. You?

Haha sorry! Actually doing a full review but…If you have the money and want that extra reach, it is an incredible rod. If I had to choose between this and the 10’ 3wt recon for about half the price? I’d go Recon without a second thought.

Agreed and thank you very much for the comment!

Actually wasn’t a cheap rod but it must’ve had a small nick in the graphite and was compromised.

Thanks Joey! One of my favorite places as well. Thanks for the sub. 👍

Good luck my man! It’s an amazing place

It broke. You can hear it. I’ve had a section of rod come loose many times. This wasn’t one of them.

Yep, had the same happen to me many time over while fishing. You get one small scuff or a little deeper of a scrape on the rod that creates a weak point

Nice! Yes, same user name.

Sent you a DM on Instagram

You end up making it out?

Colorado! Thanks

Thanks!!

Thanks so much! Had a lot going on so took the winter off from filming but am looking forward to some fun video projects this spring!

Thank you!

Hey Andy, thanks! haven’t been out a lot lately. Been busy with some family stuff but all is good and I expect to back on the water for a big fall trip in a couple weeks. How about you?

Same thing here

Thank you sir!

Haha I know! Easily my favorite part of the video.

Thank you! Yes I wish I lived closer. I’d fish it every day!

Hey, we worked with what the river gave us! Haha. It really wasn’t that bad, we only saw that one large group come through.

Actually the first one was awesome too. Looked bigger than the very last one?

Thanks! Yea it’s a sweet tailwater that feels like it was just made for fishing. Tons of pull off access and tons of fish. Mostly browns. 👍🏼

Haha thanks! We had a blast. Was a super fun day.

I know right! I’ve prob only ever caught two or three that have that color and pattern to them. She was a beauty.

That sounds awesome. Did you get into any big fish close to dusk? I noticed they would come out and smash streamers off the bank right when it got dark.

@@highholescramblers I fished a lot there well after dark with streamers or a mice pattern caught some large browns at night. Even a couple pheasant tails would work. I still fish the Blue River at night a lot no one’s there and they love mysis shrimp patterns.

Yeah I’ve heard that about the blue. Haven’t fished shrimp there but have on the Taylor below the damn. Those fish are for real.

Yessir love the Clearwater. Best rod for the money in my opinion. Not sure if I was stripping it there, don’t remember. Was likely drifting under an indicator and just stripping in slack.

@@highholescramblers I got one for my 5wt. That must have been it. I didn’t see a strike indicator so I’m like holy shit if those things are chasing nymphs they’re pretty aggressive.

Yeah actually now that you mention it I think I was swinging flies on that fish. Don’t think there was an indicator. Nice catch. 😁

@@highholescramblers O your euro nymphing I got cha. I don’t do any of that.

Just swinging wet flies trailed by a nymph. I use a 10’ recon to euro but wasn’t doing it on this trip.

Thank you! That was a fun fish.

Thanks! It was definitely the fish of the trip.
