Colorado Float

Floated the lower Colorado on Wednesday of last week with Robin and Gail, two of my favorite people, and thought I'd do a brief report and post some pics. Basically, the fishing was just on, which has been the theme of the week. In fact, there is not much more to say other than that the action was non-stop and we all had a great day..

Here are some pics.

All things considered, this day would have gone down as a huge success no matter what, but this beast of a male brown trout sealed the deal and put this day in the books.

Nice fish Robin.

early summer update

Well, it's been a little while since the last update, but that is only because the fishing got so good. Runoff finally ended, and the rivers began the serious drop just over a week ago. The waters are now clear and at perfect levels valley wide.



The Roaring Fork is on fire from Aspen all the way down to Glenwood with large numbers of caddis , yellow sallies, pmds, and green drakes all active and present. If you happen to be on the right stretch at the right time it is possible to witness them all coming off of the water at once. Needless to say, the fish have their feed bags on and we are seeing not only good numbers but really high quality fish as well. They are strong, hungry, active, and getting ever more willing to come up to the surface.



The Frying Pan is currently flowing at 180 cfs which is pretty much the perfect level for that river. Pmds, blue wings, midges, and caddis are all active, and the fishing has been not just consistent but down right hot.



The Colorado blew out a few days ago but has cleared big time and the fishing is good. Yellow Sallies, pmds, and rusty spinners are present and active and the fish are on the feed. We floated on the lower Colorado today, and had one of those days. Stay tuned for pics and a full report.
