Lucky to Guide on the South Platte

This season has been nothing short of outstanding on the South Platte River.  Whether it is out in South Park, near Deckers, or on privater water, the South Platte has been providing anglers of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to catch amazing trout on both nymphs and dry flies.  Public water trips have been producing some amazingly big and colorful fish.  Caddis, Tricos, PMDS, Yellow Sallies, and other bugs have been coming off heavily day in and day out.  Sight fishing for these big fish has been the best method.  Come spend a day on the water with me and let me share these awesome fish. Below are some great pictures of some big Public water fish.

We Finally Have Water!

For a little while now flows have come up on most sections of the South Platte.  Fish have really responded and are feeding heavily on Streamers, Nymphs, and Dry Flies!  We have been having some amazing fishing on both public and private water.  We are seeing big hatches of Caddis, PMDs, Tricos, and Yellow Sallies.   Give me a call and lets get on the water and get after some of these BIG trout!  Below are some great pictures with big trout from both private and public water trips.

Fun Fishing For All

Over the last week or so things have really picked up.  Water levels have come up in South Park and on the North Fork and the fishing has really turned on.  South Park lakes are fishing great as well.  Even though flows remain on the low side closer to Denver, fishing continues to be good.  Keep in mind that as the water warms throughout the day fish should be landed quickly and handled as little as possible.  On ALL stretches, Dries, Nymphs, and Streamers have been productive.  For those that believe fly fishing or fishing in general is for adult males, this week has been a great example of how great women  and children are at bringing fish to the net as well.  The South Platte offers great opportunities for people of all ages, genders, and skill levels and I would love to share it with you.  To inquire about a trip email me at TERE5643@gmail.com or give me a call at 719-494-6480.  Below are some pictures from recent trips.

Early Summer Fly Fishing

Fishing this June has been great so far.  After a long wait, water levels in South Park are up and both the rivers and lakes are fishing well.  Nymphs have been producing most of the fish, but dries will begin to turn fish soon.  Closer to Denver and Colorado Springs, the South Platte is low and clear but still fishing very well with both dries and nymphs.  Likewise, private water trips have been nothing short of amazing.  Although the water is a little higher and off color we are still fooling some big fish.  On the another note I ask that everyone keep those effected by the current fires in their thoughts and prayers.  So many homes have been lost and I can only imagine how hard this is for so many people.  So again please take a second and say a prayer for these folks.  Below are some pictures from recent trips.  If you would like to book a trip for either public or private water, give me a call at 719-494-6480 or email me at tere5643@gmail.com 

Memorial Day Weekend Coming to a Close with Great Fishing

First and foremost it is important during this Memorial Day weekend that we take a moment to reflect on why many have a long weekend.  I want to say THANK YOU to all the men and women who serve or have served in the military.  These people fight for the preservation of the freedoms and values that we hold so dear.  Men and Women have given their lives so that this great nation and others around the world may be free.  Alright, so to the fishing.  Recent trips have produced some aweseom fishing.  BWOs and Caddis are starting to become prevalent on area waters and runoff should soon be in the future.  Personally, I cannot wait to have a runoff this year and for the fish to have some more water.  Both public and private waters are fishing great.  Both nymphs and dries are producing.  Below are some pictures of some of the great fish we have gotten into recently.

BIG Trout on the South Platte River

The beginning of May has brought with it some absolutely amazing fly fishing on the South Platte River.  Private and public water trips have been very productive!  We have been picking up fish on both dries and nymphs with great results. While crowds on public water contiue to grow as the weather warms, the fishing is still good.  Private water has been producing some absolute big fish to accompany high numbers of caught fish.  The Lakes in South Park have also been fishing well, when in the right spot with the right flies. As the weather continues get nicer and nicer, the fishing will continue to get better as well.  Below are some pictures of recent trips on both public and private water.  Booking a guide trip right now for the summer is a great opportunity to learn the areas and techniques that will produce fish.  So whether you would like to learn the area rivers or just fine tune your fly fishing technique, give me a call at 719-494-6480 or email me at Tere5643@gmail.com to book a trip.

Low Water Fishing on the South Platte River

As I write this the Dream Stream is at 34 cfs and Deckers is at 51.   The low water will effect the fishing and the way to you should approach the fish.  Despite the low water, fishing on the Platte still remains good.  Midges and BWOs are experiencing strong hatches.  This weekend my clients were able to get into some great fish by slinging nymph rigs into the deeper runs and riffles.  We were also able to get some fish to eat Dries.  The past week has been cold and find fish on the stillwaters has been challenging.  However, the fish that we have gotten into have been worth the wait.  With weather warming up, expect the lakes to fish better and better.  The recent snows have really helped our statewide snowpack and I am expecting a great year.  If you would like to book a trip to chase some big reservoir trout or learn streamside how to approach fish during these lower water periods, give me a call or email me.  Below are a few pics from recent trips.  719-494-6480  Tere5643@gmail.com
