- I'm fly fishing a wilderness stream in Colorado and the hopper bite gets good! Adding a dropper picked up any picky fish. This stream had browns, cutthroat and brook trout!

I love fishing for Trout with Hoppers. My favorite time of the year. Trout seem to lose all inhibitions when grass hoppers are hitting the water in numbers and they begin to key in on them. Watching a big Brown charge out from under a cut bank to hammer the bug simply can't be beat. Another great video Drew. I too like the voice over commentary.
Couldn't agree more! Thank u for the feedback. It's an extra step...trying to decide if it's worth it to viewers!
Now I am binge watching...thanks for messing up my evening!!!!! LOL
As ever, great scenery, great fishing, great fish, great commentary that tells us enough, no more, no less, and in no way intrusive or OTT.
Beautiful fish and great action, Drew! Thank you!! 👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Hopper fishing is the best!! When I was in Idaho (inspired by your travels to the region), I loved fishing on lesser known streams and fishing hopper-dropper rigs. And sometimes the hopper was all that was needed!!
Love the commentary and the story behind each pool
Said the same on the last video, but liking the commentary over the top on these ones. Have learnt a lot from watching you fish, particularly how to fish the whole of a pool. Pretty sure I used to catch one fish and move to the next pool until I saw how you did it. And the commentary just assists in the teaching. Thanks Drew.
I appreciate that!
Great day... beautiful stream. Just one rainbow or whitie from a grand slam!
Definitely a good day!
Great to see the fishing was better lower down. Love your top shelf hopper. Works everywhere.
Good to see you in my home state catching fish! Keep up the adventures, love watching your videos!
Good job searching and catching those beautifully colored fish. Im living in the tropics of Bali and haven't been able to travel back and fish the Rockies much these past few years. Watching your videos is the next best thing. I like the videos with and without commentary
Appreciate the feedback...Definitely trying to figure out what works best!
Small streams are usually full of solitude and satisfaction-can it get any better?Keep up the great work Drew !
I had to delay my lunch break just to watch this. I hope you're happy.
Love watching your videos Drew!
Man i did a solo 5 day canjeos river trip last month. Ooooooooooooooh my. ❤
Another entertaining video, thanks for sharing.
If you ever want to fish an eastern limestone river, look me up, may is primetime for stream bred browns....
Beautiful!
That brown was a beaut in that spot.
Definitely a reward for sticking around lol!
Love the new Colorado scenes and all the great narration, Drew. Man, thanks so much for inspiiring us. BTW, did you get a new camera? Your vids look fantastic.
Another great video! Thanks! By the way, do you tie your own flies? Just curious. ...also glad you stayed safe fishing during hunting season! Maybe wear orange to fish! haha!
Yep got several tying vids on my channel
Great video. So much action on that little creek. What main river is this creek feeding into, if I can ask? I fish mostly the Eastern Sierras here in CA but I want to take my son to CO next year.
I dont think I ever used 5x in my life. Fish here in Jersey and PA seen it all. I use 7x and sometimes, maybe 6x with size 22 and 24 flies and we catch some dandy browns in PA.
That's the great thing about going west. I've fished 3x out there!
Nice action. Leaves are bad here in the east. Get urself an orange hat.
Good stuff! Drew how do you go about locating new streams to fish?
great video and perseverance! Are you typically running a 4x tapered leader in those small streams or are you stepping down from a level leader as needed?
Amazing.
Thanks!
Enjoy the commentary. Encourage you to do more.
Sweet! Until I can get to the Rocky’s I’ll keep pounding on them in NC. But I will get there one day. Thanks for taking us along…. So, my question is why such a short rod? I’m trying to learn how to run a dry dropper rig on a 10’ nymphing rod. Thanks again.
He'd have a hard time with a 10' rod in those creeks The rods wider then the creek. He wouldn't be able to to swing and 10' rod with all that brush around him and his casting is limited distance. 10' rod would cause nothing but problems.
Yup, exactly what the other comment says. I use my 10ft on larger, less covered streams. 7.5 or my 8.5' fishes better in tight spots. I walk thru the 3 lengths of rods I choose/why in this video...czcams.com/video/RS5mksxL190/video.htmlfeature=shared
@LooknFishy I'd love to do some hopper dropper fishing but here in NJ & PA, we just don't have the amount of grass hoppers as out west. I nymph a lot under a lightning football indicator. Usually to a size 18 egg I tie with a 22 or 24 rs2 emerger on the bottom with 7x, sometimes 6x. Id love to use 5x, make it a lot easier fighting these fish but the fights what we r there for
Commented on last video but I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and live In colorado myself and I’m looking for streams. Is there a reason you don’t tell us where you fish? And could you tell use where this is?
I don't name them in youtube vids for several reasons. I've seen first hand what hot spotting does. A guy named a bunch of streams in the driftless a few years ago. Prior to that I went for years and fished a few he named any saw low crowds. Now...one of those streams had 10 cars on it. Banks littered. Small streams like this can't take the pressure that comes from being posted on social media. Another reason is the hateful comments (not yours) I get...nearly every video someone leaves a disrespectful comment...if I named streams I'd be helping those types of people find amazing places to fish. BUT... I do share...more accurately trade with people. But that only works if you don't name them for the general public. I also don't hide anything intentionally and definitely leave hints for those that follow my adventures but those are often missed unless the vids are watched in order or only a few minutes. For example I've done 2-two month road trips and those trips are shared in order. In them I left the maps I used, talked about local stops for supplies, the national forest I was in, etc. ... some called it bread crumbs and appreciated that they found a stream how it looked in the vid. Some left an angry comment bc in their words, I shared too much...even a baby could find it. I also did 2 vids on how I find streams. In the end, there's no way to please everyone. I just consider my channel my online adventure journal but allow it to be public.
@@LooknFishy I appreciate you commenting back. Still love your content and I understand completely. Keep fishing colorado! I’ll keep a better lookout for some I’ve lived in colorado my entire life so I can usually tell where it is just by looking at it but some of the ones you go to are hard to spot. Again love your videos 🙏 just watched your most recent
Really cool stream drew, I take it that's a blueline stream. I love fishing those types of streams, as you found out there just might be a nice surprise in the next run. Enjoyed watching. 👍
Exploring these small remote streams and learning what they hold is crazy fun...even when they start a little slow. The thrill is the adventure!
What time of year is this?
Can you show how your small size hoppers looks like and how to tie them?
