Fly Fishing Colorado - Backpacking trip into the Rocky Mountains by Todd Moen

- This high mountain backpacking / fly fishing trip in the Colorado Rocky Mountains features Kelley Moen and guide Colleen Farrell on a spur of the moment Spring fly fishing adventure as they backpack into a Colorado high alpine lake. Set from Kelley’s perspective, and in step with John Denver’s poignant music, this film illustrates the simple beauty and total clarity that nature provides. Glacier-fed streams, deep alpine pools and spawning cutthroat trout make this a season’s favorite at Catch Magazine. During the filming in Colorado’s backcountry, I was reminded of the influence John Denver’s music has had over me and my wife throughout the years we lived in the Rockies, finally settling in Oregon to raise a family. It’s been profound.
As a casual guitar, banjo and mandolin player myself, I’ve put music (and the use of it in my work) as the centerpiece in life, wherever I’ve lived and traveled. In fact, my collection of music over the years has become nearly as important and as large as my fishing gear. Music and fly fishing are both now focal points in our family, with aspiring teen musicians in our home and the works of John Denver that are extremely special to us. This film is dedicated to the musician, artist, activist and phenomenal human being himself, John Denver, and to the rivers in Colorado that he found so inspiring. Special thanks to Eleven Experience and Alex Fenlon, Colleen Farrell and Moose Hofer for their guiding and hospitality.

Trifecta! Colorado Rockies, wild cutthroat trout and John Denver. Thank you.
I too used to use those style of fishing gloves, but my local fly shop owner gently educated me on their destruction of fish slime. Glad to See Kelley didn't use those types of gloves. Great video as always, Todd!
Thanks for watching. I agree with you. We’ve never used gloves, but I’ve been around plenty guides that still use them for some reason. Appreciate the comment.
@@CatchMagazine Guides make their livings with their hands. Wearing something to protect them, ease aches, and keep them warm enough to tie knots in high wind just makes sense. No one wants claw hands from rowing all day. They also protect you from the sun, rocks, and fish spines/teeth. Even just a rogue bluegill or bass spine can give a nasty infection, and sunburn’s no joke. We enthusiasts can get by, but guiding is fishing at a different scale (pardon the pun).
@@mungobaggins8197 Im going to have to respectfully disagree. lf you are a guide, and you know that using the gloves damages the fish, then that is unbelievably selfish to use them. Especially given the amount of fish you would be handling if you do this for a living. Knowing that its harmful, its extremely disrespectful and weak to the fish/environment that we are supposed to be protecting. Maybe learn how to handle the fish, instead of damaging every single one you touch so you can have "a fun day on the water". lve been fishing my whole life, and lve never been hurt by a fish. From small brook trout, to 60 lb cobias, you can handle a fish safely. lf you cant do that, you shouldnt take your inexperience/cowardice out on wildlife.
Also, l enjoyed this video VERY much. Keep up the great content! lm heading out to Colorado for an elk hunt this year, and looking forward to doing some fishing out there as well. Once again, thank you for such a fun and informative video! Very easy to hit the subscribe button after watching!
excellent video always a pleasure to watch!
Anticipating and Expecting nothing less, I'll keep it short and to the point;
Wow!
More than ever, I want to be there.
Another, great job, Todd. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the support!
When I watch your films I find and lose myself..your work inspires quite a range of emotions. This one in particular..John Denver...I will be walking down the aisle this Saturday to his music.This June my brothers and I are back packing into the John Muir Wilderness for Golden and Brook Trout. Where were going is the same place I will rest when that time comes. I bet your one hell of a character...one to ride the river with.
WOW! ... awesome pictures - great fish! ... Cheers from Austria!
What a Beautiful video! what a great representation of our beautiful Waters! As a semi native😁 and avid flyfisher this one got my heart pumping. the angler did a great job, casting into those tight spots is not easy! Beautiful scenery great fish and cute gals what else could you ask for! Thanks Todd👍
Tom in Colorado
Nice! We float those flat bottom here on the Eel river in SoHum. A couple salmon varieties none of the stunning cutthroat. But if you're lucky to hook one, a fiesty steelhead are sure to give you that "fish-on" rush! Nothing compares to trout fishing on the river. Unless its trout fishing in the tributary creek feeding into that river.
I've watched every video of yours that I can find, some numerous times. They are always incredible, the best out there in my opinion. I was really happy to find this new one tonight. Excellent video work, great story, and beautiful scenery and trout. Thanks!
Thank you very much. Really appreciate you coming back and checking in!
Amazing landscape, caches and videography!
Thank you Ayun!
@Catch Magazine-Todd Moen, another spectacular video. Thanks for keeping the content coming. When I need a dose of the outdoors, I can count on you when I can’t get out on my own.
Thanks! Doing my best. Have the magazine to jungle at the same time. Will have another film out this week. Stay tuned!
Awesome story and some great footage. Colorado is definitely on my bucket list. Cheers!
Thank you!
Man those high mountain fish are gorgeous with scenery to match. Another great video nice work 👍 👍🤜🤛
Thanks Jon. Yeah, the colors are just hard to beat. Smaller fish, but totally worth the experience.
I love fishing in CO. That looked like a great spot that was a lot of fun.
Thanks for watching!!!
I love living in Co the fishing is great when u leave the city
Great video! Looking forward to doing some fishing this year
Looking forward to getting out as well. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. It was fun watching this one in particular as I was raised in Colorado. Well done. Thank you for sharing.
PS. Please make videos more often
Looks like a blast!
Cute lil boat, awesome b roll, and great thumbnail.
Keep it up 👍
Awesome video Todd, Colorado is definitely a bucket list location for me to fish can't think of many places better for scenery and trout fishing
Thanks so much for the comment and taking the time to watch! Colorado high lakes are hard to beat.
I live in Colorado Springs for 5 years. I frequently hit the South Platt almost weekly in any season and quickly became and expert angler. We are absolutely spoiled out there. Going to be in Japan for many years to come and try and see if I can get into some trout up north. Catch magazine should come out and film!!!
Wow. What an adventure. I always wanted to see Japan. Maybe one day. Have a great time there.
check out the middle fork of the little snake river

Hi Rob, yes… that super slow motion and an already slow rise make for some fun footage! Thanks for watching.

Do you recommend any backpacking trips up there around 30 miles with great fishing?
Wishing I was in the orchestra for the soundtrack
Love this. Thanks!!!
Looks like Colorado River cutthroats, Oncorhynchus clarkii pleuriticus.
I’d sure like to know which lake that was😏
WOW! ... awesome pictures - great fish! ... Cheers from Austria!
