"Rock Star" Day in South Park

Today I had a guide trip with Terry from Kansas City.  Right off the bat Terry was into fish.   The day produced very good with many large Rainbows, Browns, and Cutbows coming to the net.  Throughout the day we saw lots of different bug life coming off ranging from Midges to Little Yellow Sallies.  While it was windy off and on throughout the day, the weather was absolutely beautiful and the day couldn't have gone better. Thank you Terry for a great trip.

South Park Strikes Again

Today I met up with my buddy Cody Smith and we decided to head out to South Park for some windy fishing.  Dealing with the wind paid of with many hookups and lots of big fish.  The wind was strong so we nymphed all day with great results.  While we were out today we saw Caddis, BWO, Midges, and other insects moving around with which we tried to match the items on the fishs' plate.  Flows on the South Platte in South Park and in Deckers are still very very good when comparing waters with the rest of the state.  Give us a call and we will show you how to get into some of these big early summer fish.

Dream Stream on Fire,, windy, but on FIRE!

Headed up to the Dream Stream today for a few hours before the wind blew me off the river.  Although very windy, the fishing was on fire when a proper presentation could be given.  Fish were all over worms, caddis, and leech patterns.  Just because it is a tailwater, do not limit yourself to fishing microscopic bugs.  In a few hours I landed several fish over 18" and one that was pushing 24".  When walking the river be sure you are fishing to the trout as the suckers are moving around in some of the faster water spawning.  So save yourself the hassle of dealing with these slimy things by avoiding any fish that look light and dark two tone or are paired up.

Low Water, Good Fish

Had a trip today at Deckers on the South Platte River with Molly and Brendan from MD.  The day started off on fire landing 20" bow in the first 5 minutes.  The rest of the day fished well on stones, worms, and little beadheads. The water was very low due to the repair work happening on Cheesman Dam.  It seems as though all of the Platte drainage is fishing well and WILL CONTINUE to fish well throughout runoff and into the summer.  Do not let high water scare you off, it means big bugs that the fish can see and working the edges!  Headed to the Dream Stream tomorrow for a personal day, I will try to post some info on the day tomorrow.  Tight lines as always!
