Fly Fishing the Ugliest Trout Stream in the Northwest
For more ugly fishing location videos click here
Nestled in the not so scenic Columbia Basin is the seven mile long spring fed stream of Rocky Ford. The stream is heavily choked by vegetation in all but the coldest months and bordered by dense cattail growth. This fly fishing only stream is heavily stocked by Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. Catching fish isn’t hard here and if you are looking for a day of catching trout in a not-so-scenic place then this place is for you.
Don’t forget your scuds!!!
Tackle used in this video:
– Echo Lago Fly Rod #6:
– Echo Ion Fly Reel 7/9:
– OPST Commando head smooth 225 grain. This line has an integrated running line which negates the need for the Rio Grip Shooter running line featured in the video
– Fly line backing:
– Tungsten Scud Fly:

I agree on a small mouse pattern might be fun, as well as a large instigator-scud dropper. Are you running your leader direct to the commando head, or are you using a float tip?
Nice fish man!
Why aren’t you salmon fishing 🤷♂️
Doesn't rocky ford dump into mose lake?
That was a big ole trout for sure!
I dare you to eat one out of there😜
Seems like a spinning outfit and a clear bobber would be easier to use there?
You really sold me on the location description. 😆
Almost a steelhead. Thick boy
Looks like a damn bass pond.
Always learn something new on your channel.
I am a very lousy fly angler. But on the them hitting the bobber thing, I used to get em on these big ugly flies that looked like a fat water-skipper. Only place I can imagine that working. They were like pieces of red or black foam with 4 pipe cleaner-like legs sticking off em.
I KNEW it was Rocky Ford when I saw that title! Great catching! No wading I think there too. Back in the mid-2000s at least there were monsters in there (that had been caught 400 times).
Damn near on my property
