 Cannot believe what we just saw y'all me and Steph We're sitting here at the campfire eating some pumpkin pie drink in our coffee and a wild Links enters the camp. I'm assuming it's a wild links not a bobcat Just looks a lot different than the bobcats. I'm used to and they'll have links up around here. So hey wild links Just enters our camp Steph just like just just just looks over and this thing is coming in I'm like, oh my god. I need to grab my camera. I need to grab my camera. He's looking at us And he's hunting. He's hunting these chipmunks and little ground mammals that are living in these holes And I ran inside got my camera and while he was behind the bushes and I was able to run over get in position and got him actually attacking and eating a Whatever it was one of those little mice or little moles or I don't know little marmots. Whatever they have up here That was just incredible. Like I've I've seen bobcats before And it's so incredibly hard. You see them for just a few seconds. They disappear I've seen one mountain line, but to be able to see a wild cat And then get that close Get it on camera Y'all that is some outdoor greatness right there go ahead and smash it What a way to start the day. So Just incredible man. I'm on like a like a rush from that Mission today. We're gonna try to get some trout for dinner Stephanie yesterday unfortunately broke the fly rod, but we still got some other conventional rods and we have to to move camps We've got some weather coming. So Anyway, we're gonna try to find some streams I may try to get a few fish out of the lake before The wind gets too bad so that we can have some dinner tonight We ran out of water and everything but you could follow along on all the the camp ventures everything that's happening at camp Over at the lake life family channel. We're doing some of our dutch oven recipes over there And Stephanie's kind of vlogging her experience on on this side of things I get to do this stuff all the time Still seeing amazing stuff every time I go out in the outdoors. Thank you lord But this is really her first time being up in the mountain. So go check it out link down below And we are going to continue our journey today. Let's go wet a line Come on, baby Oh, just had one. Oh got it. Come on, baby. Oh, we came off god. That's a big one. Oh shoot Just had a big brown on kind of what don't want to keep him. That'd be a great photo fish My rods too stiff Can't handle the fight the jumps To just lost probably my biggest brown trout I've ever had on let's go find another hole pack mule You can do it. Okay, another little Rapid area with a couple of rock breaks. We're just gonna make a couple of rusty rusty tail flips Through there Might be a little swift I almost had one had one chase it Probably gonna have to rig up a fly Like an actual fly I know I saw you saw him Dang it. They're not eating it. Okay. I'm gonna attempt to rig something up here. I've lost two really big fish this trip Big brown trout just a minute ago and a big rainbow trout the other day With me and Stephanie were fishing This one's got a weight on it this bobber right here. It's a slip bobber So I'm gonna slide this through I'm gonna put a fly on What do you think we should go with babe? Which one that one that one Little guy, okay, I've got a weighted slip bobber. I've got a 116th ounce A little clamp on lead weight and then I've got a dry fly Oh, yeah I can get some distance on this baby Oh, I got one. Oh Let's go to the next pool. I had one on Try right here for a second. Oh got him got him In me Dang it Okay, my my trick worked though I'm having trouble keeping them on Grab that bag First couple of trout spots did not pan out, but we've decided to move a little bit farther south To just kind of start making our way off the mountain We're basically just gonna follow this river today and try to find some other Little fishing spots down it and then eventually find a place To camp But as we're doing that the fall all these leaves are flying everywhere. It's really beautiful. So Steph's enjoying it. I'm pretty excited about the opportunity to catch a big brown trout I already had one on today. Okay, so in this little area right here this fast moving water There is a pool down below That has some fishing and I just spotted them So Steph's over there making some lunch on the tailgate. I'm just gonna walk down here See if I can get one of these guys this could be dinner I'm gonna use this rock that's covered Oh almost had one eat it Little one's coming over to it. Yeah, I definitely see some sitting right on this little Side eddy current area. Just gotta give them the right presentation. Come on now Oh, there's another one Well, that's a nice brown Nice brown trout Ooh, come on get it! Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it! Oh, he almost got it. That's a that looks like a cutthroat Looks like a cutthroat over there It's gonna go right in front of his face Oh, he's chasing it. Come on. Oh, we almost ate it. Almost ate it Oh, we were close. We were close to catching this guy. This is cool site fishing Just got to find exactly what he wants Coming by his face Ah, he just doesn't quite want to grab it. You sucker. Oh, got him! Oh gosh, he came off! No! I think that was a rainbow actually. Not a very big one. My little deal worked. Just can't keep them hooked. I've lost three. Y'all, I just can't seem to keep a trout on. Tried a bunch of different flies scenarios. Oh, that is some clear water. Tried a bunch of different flies. Those ones that were in the pool couldn't get them. So I think I'm going to just continue downstream here until we hit another pool. Oh my gosh, I got one! I got one! Oh, he's in the current. He's in the current. I think it's a brown trout. Oh, it's a brown trout. Come here, buddy. Look at this beauty. Oh my. Stephanie's never seen a brown trout. I want her to see one. Hey honey! Look how pretty they are. Oh my God. Look at all the spots. It's like orange. Yeah, they have red spots. They're so pretty. They're gorgeous. See, I told you there was a good spot down there. Yeah, it's cool. We're just pointing out all the good stuff. Alright, we're going to let this guy go because he's not big enough. Let's keep and I think he's pretty cool. Well, it caught me a nice pretty brown at least. But now it's time to head to our camp that we don't know where it is. Where is our nest? We don't know where our next home is for the night. So we're trying to find some campgrounds that are open. A lot of them are closed because winter is coming. And the stream is running behind it. So we put ourselves about an hour ahead for tomorrow's big drive. And we just started to fire. Steph's going to make some dinner here tonight. She's going to make an apple crisp. Oh, delish. And I'm going to take my rods in there and go try to get a fish. I can hear the stream ahead. Still a ways down there. How crazy is this place, y'all? So apparently this time of year, they've had to evacuate people off the mountain via care flight because the snow just comes about and gets really bad. So we basically just need to get out of here before it gets too bad. Ooh, I see some bugs in the air. This could be a good deal. Oh, yeah, baby. This looks fantastic right here. We've got a little bend. We have a bend. Okay, I'm going to sit right here and try not to fall in. So that would be very bad. I'm going to try the old bobber method first. Literally going to sit, take my little float and fly, shoot it out there. It's going kind of quick. Certain little areas you just got to get it in. Oh, trout on it. Trout was on it right there. Saw him. Saw him bust out. Okay, they were just not taking the fly here. Gonna have to go with the old roosty. Okay, now we're safe. Thank you, gravity, for not killing me. They either had a bite or I hit a rock. Moving on down. We got ourselves another little tricky pool. It's a stick. All right, that's a goner. It is, it's pretty down here, but y'all think it's going to be very cold down in this valley tonight. I hope we picked a okay spot. It's getting really cold. I want to make sure Stephanie is okay. This has been a crazy experience for her. She's done very well, but I don't want to leave her for too long. Got moose and bears. Lynx is running around, mountain lions. You got to keep her safe. It's time to sign it off for the day. Unfortunately, I was not able to capitalize on any more fish. Stephanie has had to fire up her recipes and cook us something. I don't know. She's got something in there and she has apple crisp, which is going to be delicious. We're going to eat that. And if you guys want to see more of that action, like life family channel linked down below. But we're spending our last night here and then it's time for me to sign off, head back to the great state of Texas. I enjoy Colorado though. It's like the colder weather cousin and I do enjoy it, but it is time to leave and head back to the basses. And the deer. It's archery season. So make sure to stay tuned.
