Great Fall Fishing

I had the opportunity to take Jim Keller, of Keller Custom Rods out on Saturday to one of our spectacular stretches of private water on the North Fork.  The day was great.  Lots and some really big fish were brought to the net throughout the day.  Nymphing was the way to go as the fish on almost all sections of the Platte are entering into their prespawn mode.  The pictures below are from our trip on Saturday.  However, there is good news to report in South Park.  The Middle Fork is fishing well with several good fish being landed that have moved up out of Spinney.  The South Fork is also fishing well.  With the bump in flows coming out of Spinney, the lake fish have started to show up in some more numbers.  However, so have the people.  The crowds are unbelievable right now so plan your trips accordingly.  Fishing streamers will be a great way to get after some of these aggressive lake fish, but nymphs will also produce well.  With the heavy crowds please remember to show some courtesy.  Do not fish the same run as another angler, and if you see a guide trip try and give them a wider birth.  They don't come into your office and mess with your stuff.  Otherwise have fun and goodluck!
