Gettem Ready- it's time.........


Visited the river this weekend with the intention of watching the high flows drag the debris of wood, sand and silt down stream as the warming of the Colorado high country has raised the flows this past week on a daily basis. On the drive Friday the river was the color of the chocolate milk I loved as a kid,  heavy and dark. 
This morning was a different story as the edges had a foot or so of clearing as the main body of the river was still off color, but I think you could have dragged a couple of fish off the bank.
On top of that, the flows had dropped a tad. For a sick nick like me, I am always encouraged at not having to have the boat on the trailer.
Always nice to oogle at the streamer box, today way no different.

Are You Ready.........Got Hoppers and Terrestrials


Run-off has begun or will start very quickly in many areas. Weather is slowly heating up in many area's. Although we are a month or so away from prime time, you should have been tying all winter and spring in preparation for prime time.
 You should have plenty to cover the gam mot, because not only do trout love them so do smallmouth, bluegill and many other wily finned creatures.

Are You Ready?

No Spot the Same


Ever look closely at the spots of our fine finned friends. All of the them so different, all of them so 
beautiful. All a little bit a different size and shape. Check out how many condensed in just the tail section and the tail itself? No spot the same!

Some soothing music to listen too as you watch large rainbows rise to dry flies. Extremely nice
scenery and water. Really nice video short by Gisle Helgesen. Enjoy your morning cup of Joe.
