October 17, 2017 - South Platte River, Deckers, CO
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
it took the first big snowfall in colorado (which pretty much melted away within a few days) to get through my head the fact that summer is finally gone. i held on to the thought for as long as i could into fall. but with that being said, i decided i needed to get outdoors as much as possible until it became too cold for the gear i own.
we made our way down to Deckers, one of my favorite spots along the south platte river, for a day of fly fishing. being new to colorado i've been excited to learn more and more about each stream and especially the specifics for every season/condition.
it was definitely a lot harder fishing this time than many prior, but i still got a few in and learned a little more.
p.s. the first shot was my attempt to catch this family of deer crossing the stream. i'd never seen them wade so deep and struggled to get my camera out as fast as possible!

My grampa favorite fishing spot, he used to bring me up to Deckers in the early 80’s and it’s far different now it can get so crowded.
Nice video ALLORADO! Nicely done, and you know ... a "bad" day fishing is better than ... ! Gorgeous scenery! I am working on a move to that area soon and this is very pleasing to watch. Thank you.
Awesome Video. I am so glad I found you buddy.
Enjoyed the video. I’m in town for work and decided to go check out Deckers tomorrow morning. I’m still semi-new to fly fishing so we’ll see how it goes!
great video! i am from argentina and i will be at colorado in two weeks to fly fish, found this out checking where and how to fish, so thank you very much this great
thank you! hope you have a great time!
Just started fly fishing last year, really enjoyed your video.
Thanks! cant wait for constant great weather!
Good work on the vid! I'll be out in Denver later this summer to do some fishing and your videos are helpful.
Thanks! and good luck to ya!
Your videography and editing are very quite good.
Dude!! handle the fish less.... release fast....best for the fish.
Subscribed! Love the footage! Gonna possibly hit one of these spots tomorrow!
Nice! and thank you! im still working out the kinks between shooting and fishing at the same time, so hopefully my episodes will clean up a bit. Good luck fishing!
Yo man. What music you using ? These tracks are super fresh. Nice vid, thanks for sharing.
Great Video, It's one of my favorite place to fish. See you out on the rivers.
Is there a decent fly shop in/near Deckers?
@@benspencer4033 place called flies and lies in the strip mall right in deckers
I watch a lot of these videos, hoping to learn stuff. Here I am watching a better fisherman say, "I suck" at streamer casting. ME TOO! Had to laugh.
Great video.
Nice fish. I fished Deckers this past March. A few good bows and some really nice browns hanging below the reds. Good job on the video feed too. Lots of fishing and not a lot of talking to the camera with the "Hey Vern!" like lots of folks posting.
ha thank you, i often question whetehr or not i should speak more and discuss whats going on but end up trying to focus on the fishing so much
Cool video, man. Just subscribed. I backpack and always take a spin reel just 'cause I've never fly fished. Going to start learning to fly fish since I get to some nice, remote waters backpacking.
thanks! and most definitely! i started on a spinning reel and still sometimes bring it along for some action fishing!
Haha I was standing in that exact same spot by the bridge about a week after you were there. Nice deep pool right there and its always holding
definitely one of my favorite goto's! i usually try above and downstream to the large boulders
Hey great video. Thanks for sharing. :) This is early October? What temp in low 40s F?'
thanks! and im not acutally sure what the temperature was. i dont check those often like the water levels, but somethingii may start doing as i do have a portable thermometer !
Nice video. I enjoyed it. I could not tell if you had an indicator on when you were nymphing. If not you may want to use one as you may be missing fish who are spitting your fly out before you notice them. Nice brown at the end! Keep it up.
thanks! and i do, i use a small foam ball with the toothpic stops. i still need it. ive seen guys that can wetfly without an indicator and im amazed!
wow nice videos, how do you not have more subs. Planning a trip to the south platte south of denver here in a couple weeks. Hope the fishings good
ha thank you! i'd of course love to have a million but i just enjoy making vids as a hobby. hopefully i can get back out again soon though! good luck to you!
Awesome video man.
Thanks! hopefully i'll get a chance to get back out and make another episode!
sick vid, sure is alot of greenies in Wyoming for how sweet of water it looks like you guys have. stay home!
Ur right next to where I park to deer hunt. I like the vid👍
absolutely wonderful area! and thanks!
What forum do you reference in the early video?
What forum are you using for fishing reports? I just moved to the Denver area and am getting into flyfishing.
Brian McMullen hey I normally toggle between the “trouts fly fishing” and blue quill. See what both are saying about a particular stream I’m interested in and also who has the most updated posts along w going back a few days and seeing trends . Good luck out there!
Thanks for your work and posting the video. I like the style of your videos. Question... at 4:53 you are fishing directly across from someone. Do you know that person? It's one of my only gripes about Deckers. People will fish too close to me, or jump in the hole above as I'm working upstream.
Thanks! and i totally agree. one of my worst experiences is when someone downstream let their dogs loose and they ran right into the water across my lines, kicking and swimming about. i had to completely change locations... its a buddy of mine that i go fishing with the most. my wide angle gopro messes with the angles a bit, but thats a giant pool that usually produces a lot of fish for us. Thanks for watching!
ALLORADO
I’m going to Deckers tomorrow but don’t recognize where that pool is. Do you mind sharing? I can trade you for another spot
Cool video!
I'm going here tomorrow. Is there a decent fly shop in/near Deckers?
yes! throw "Flies & Lies" into the gps, that shop is right in the middle! from there you can go up and down stream where theres tons of pockets and runs everywhere! have fun!
Is any chance while you’re driving you can show the area little more with dash cam I love Colorado I’ve been there before but I live far far away
i will definitely remember that for the next one as soon as i can get back out again! its been so long and im dying to return to the streams!
You should come fish the Pueblo tailwater!
Michael Bonney haven’t been yet but definitely on the list now! Thanks!
Nice video👏👏👏👏
Nice video!
thanks!
do you tie your own flies
Henrik Noreng I only tie easy things like San Juan worms and some head heads. Majority of the rest I get from my dad who is incredible at it. Then I still like to get some from the small stores now and then if they’re ever recommending anything and support
good music
Throw some mends upstream! It'll give you a better drift and you can catch some of those stubborn deckers trout.
i definitely need to work on maximizing the amount of water i fish to cover more area!
It's not about maximizing the amount of water you fish, you mend to give yourself a natural drift. When your fly line leads your bugs in a different speed current, it pulls on them unnaturally at the speed of the current your fly line is in. The fish at Deckers are smart, they'll recognize this in a heartbeat and refuse your bugs without hesitation.
Also, unless you want to break that Sage One, you should NEVER grip it above the cork, fly rods are not designed to have their stress points changed like that.
While we're on the subject of advice, you need to work on your release. You should be gripping the fish by the tail with the current in a gentle swaying motion to work oxygen back into their gills. The fish will swim off when it is ready, not hang around your feet like yours did, those fish are tired and are at a much higher risk of dying after being caught.
I don't want this comment to sound dickish because you've got a cool foundation here but... You've got G3's and a Sage One, you might want to consider purchasing a book on the basics.
ah gotcha, thanks for clarifying! i do understand that as the line will pull in different current speeds creating an unnatural flow, im not too good at it yet but hope to be someday with practicing!
i didnt know that about the rods as well so thank you! i'll make sure to handle it just on the butt end to prevent damage.
good to know as well, im for sure not anywhere near a pro level and just want to learn more about it all. thanks for the tip on the release as well. it was interesting as the fish actually came back over to me which is when i was able to get the additional shot, but i will pay full attention next time to do my best in ensuring continued life.
thank you, the gear was actually a very gracious gift so im not really familiar with any other brands. what books do you suggest?
A lot of that will start becoming instinctual as you fish more and more. You will be able to start distinguishing a good drift from a bad one. The south platte is definitely one of the harder waters in Colorado and nothing can substitute a good drift especially at this time of year. We are bashing you or trying to embarrass you but just to pass on knowledge. Can't wait for the next video!
thats what im hoping for, just continue learning more! i apologize as my tone might not be best represented through comments, i truly do appreciate the info and tips. my goal is just to get better!
mend that line!
Holy fuck you added in over 7 minutes before even fishing the river
Subbed
If you ever need a fishing buddy hit me up! Im down in parker. P.S nice video!
