A beautiful nice little short with some great overhead drone footage, at just a 1:17

just enough for a couple sips of coffee this morning. Get out and fish today.

Hatch Post

An actual Hatch on a Post, found this beautiful spot and could not resist 

taking the opportunity to snap a couple of photo's.  Luv my Hatch's Gen 1 , Gen 2 ,

Hatch Nippers, flylines, all quality gear.

Fishing and Nature

Fly-fishing certainly has its zen when you are out on the water, but when you add in the the serenity 

of mother nature and the beautiful sights she provides on a daily basis, the enjoyment level

is enhanced to another level. The various animals of the bio-sphere are a pleasure to watch and admire as you float by, not disturbing them.

Get outside and enjoy sights like this, fishing is a bonus.

Colorado River, Eagle River , Crystal River and Roaring Fork River - Fishing Closures- Help the Fish

Voluntary Fishing Closures- Please Read

CPW initiates Voluntary Fishing Closures on designated reaches of the Eagle River, Colorado River, Crystal River, and Roaring Fork River

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - Due to high water temperatures and low flows, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is implementing voluntary fishing closures between 2 p.m. - 12 a.m. on sections of the Eagle River, Colorado River, Crystal River, and Roaring Fork River in Northwest Colorado. The fishing closure is effective immediately, until further notice.

Although anglers are not legally prohibited from fishing in these stretches, CPW is asking anglers to fish early in the day and find alternative places to fish until conditions improve.

Sections for the voluntary fishing closures include:

• Eagle River from Wolcott downstream to its confluence with the Colorado River
• Colorado River from State Bridge downstream to Rifle
• Crystal River from Avalanche Creek downstream to its confluence with the Roaring Fork River
• Roaring Fork River from Carbondale downstream to its confluence with the Colorado River.

"We appreciate the patience of our angling community as we work through some tough climate conditions," said Northwest Regional Manager JT Romatzke. "Conserving our state's fisheries is critical, not just for anglers, but for the local communities and businesses that rely on these resources for their livelihoods."

CPW will place signs along the four sections of rivers to notify anglers and encourage them to consider fishing at higher elevation lakes and streams where environmental factors are much less severe, particularly during the afternoons and evenings.

If current conditions persist, CPW may consider further fishing restrictions which may include all-day voluntary fishing closures or mandatory fishing closures.

CPW recommends anglers contact their local CPW office for the most recent information relative to fishing closures, fishing conditions, and fishing opportunities.

Local watershed organizations are also good resources for information on river health including the Roaring Fork Conservancy, Eagle River Watershed Council, and the Middle Colorado Watershed Council.
