Great explanations of the water and awesome fishing :) excited to fish some of the waters in CO with my gf at the end of this month! Thanks & best wishes from Cali ❤
Thanks very much. We hope you come out and have a great time fishing! It’s been a stellar year for fly fishermen here
Great job describing the pools, tail outs, etc.
Thanks so much my friend! Hope the fishing out your way is as good as it is here :) Keep up the good work on your videos
I absolutely love the way you explain stuff when it comes to what to look for when fishing a section.
Colorado Fisher Thanks very much Fisher. Coming from you a guy who has so many subscribers and great videos, that means a lot 👍🏼
This is my favorite kind of Flyfishing. Good content
Gino KN4RUF thanks very much Gino! Subscribe if you want more updates as I will be fishing MANY more great places for you to see
Great videos Matt. Looking forward to visiting several of the locations you take us in your videos. Thanks for inviting us along your river journey
@Kevin Branigan Kevin glad to meet you today. Thanks for checking out the videos today and I hope you enjoy our high lakes adventures. Check out the “2 Minute Takes” if you wouldn’t mind and give me some feedback Kevin. Much appreciated sir!
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it. Too bad weathers so cold; otherwise I’d be out there for another adventure today
I love this !!!😛
great videos matt! entertaining - informational - therapeutic
Thanks very much Patrick! Check out the videos on Where the Cutthroat Are…and let me know what you think
Excellent video I will try Fall river when I am in RMNP I believe I know about where you where fishing. Looking forward to your next video
@Jim Tanner Jim, that spot is the pull-off just after Sheep Lakes on the left side. You can park there, and I’d suggest walking downstream at least a few hundred yards and working upstream. The water all there is so great
Just Googled it on the map i have driven by it many times i will be fishing it this time and I would have missed without your direction thanks for the info
Really cool video. Just started watching them as I am heading to Estes and steamboat in middle of July and looking to fish some small streams and other places within RMNP. What kind of boots do you recommend that would be a good combo for getting wet and hiking? Any info would be appreciated. Wool socks in assuming also.
Hey thanks Matthew. If you’re wet wading, I’d say a good pair of Simms, Orvis or Korkers wet wading boots is great. I have the Simms kind for years. My wife just got the new Korkers and they have removable soles and they’re sweet. One rubber traction and one felt. Check the regs for the park as they may not allow felt soles in there.
And yes, wool socks like a mid weight or light weight is great for keeping warm feet while wet.
Thank you TT
Matt what's up buddy keep the poles rigged and the fish fresh!
Yessir! Just got back from fishing today, heading out again tomorrow bro
Nice video man I’ll be in Colorado for 7 days in September fly fishing all over I’ll be posting some vids !! Looks like y’all had a good time !!
Hit me up if you’re out here! Cheers
Trout Soup man I wish we got back on the 17th might come back in November try to get in some fall fishing !!
Are you fishing barbless hooks?
Yessir. Have to in RMNP but not everywhere else though. Many times I’ll pinch my barbs down but leave them for my wife if we’re on the north Platte or somewhere like that
I love this video. It's realistic -- meaning there's lots of casting without bites. What's the red rod?
irbobable It’s actually a purple fly rod; I searched ALL over for this rod for my wife. It’s a 5wt Wright & McGill S-Curve “Fly Girl.” It’s beautiful and has a great feel to it.
Great video! Beautiful fish! I just got back from rmnp and believe I may have caught a greenback cutthroat. I was wondering if there would be any way I could send the photo to you to identify it.
@Master Bassin Please do! My email: mattfugazzi@yahoo.com Look forward to seeing it. Also, which lake or stream and section you caught it from would help
Hi Matt. Coming to Estes Park in two weeks and want to fly fish. I could bring my 9' 5wt or my 7.5' 3/4 wt. The fishing on the Fall River makes me think the shorter lighter rod would be best, but I don't know what other bodies of water are like there. Suggestions?
Dave, I’d definitely call Kirk’s Fly Shop right there in the town of Estes Park. We’ve just pulled out of record drought situation in most of our counties because of super high snow and rain fall. In fact, this year we’ve already passed the total precipitation for all of 2020, which is a good thing. But not for your fishing trip in two weeks unfortunately!
I’d definitely say bring that 3/4 wt for Fall River (if it’s not blown out from runofff). I’d stay in the Big T (Thompsom) since it’s a Tailwater. Lake Estes itself could be good too depending on how full it will get over the next couple weeks as well. The guys at Kirk’s know the area very well and will steer you in the right direction.
RMNP as of today is still under 58” of snow. BUT, if you have an inclination, check with the rangers sometime before you leave and see whether or not you might be able to fish Morraine Park or upper Fall River that runs from the Fern Lake trailhead. That spot right at the trailhead parking lot has BIG browns, some Brookies and a very few Cutthroats!
If you need more info, feel free to shoot me a text: 303-523-6333. Cheers, Matt
What’s that watch on your wrist?
@Jeremy Sierro Hey Jeremy, thanks for noticing the details! I am a Casio GShock enthusiast and have a small collection. I particularly like the ones that are rare/rarer, especially the collaborations. This one is Gshock Burton (snowboards) collab with altimeter, barometer, temp and supposed to geared more towards cold conditions.
Trout Soup ok thanks
