Two Guys, Some nice Fish

Both Christian and Doug endured some classic spring weather in Colorado.  Rain, High Wind, and the beginning of our run-off season made for some challenging fishing conditions.  
As a guide you work as hard as you can to ensure your clients have a fun, safe, and successful day on the water. These guys were great listeners and students.  We worked hard for the fish we landed and it was well worth it.  The park yielded some beautiful brown trout, and I was pleased with another great day on the water.  The season has begun!   

Thanks Christian and Doug for a great day!

Cheers,

First fish on the UBT for the year!

The Colorado Rockies have scene quite the snowfall and precipitation this year.  The West Slope has over 125% snowpack and the Front Range just had four days of solid rain.  The rivers are high and off color.  The run-off season has started here in Colorado.  This past week I was able to sneek up to the park and fish the Big T.



The flows were under 65 cfs and all the fish that I landed were browns ranging from 12-16.  These fish were beautiful and it felt good to bend the Winston on my home park water.  Water temps didn't allow for any great hatches, but midges and baetis patterns took most of the fish.  The spring brings great signs of wildlife and I'm blessed to guide in a such a beautiful landscape.  Let's get this run-off over with!

Tight Lines,
