Metro Smallies

The South Platte River in metro Denver has been getting a lot more press lately.  Trout fishing seems to get better every year, and the carp fishing secret is out.  However, today I decided to target one of the other species that is prolific on the metro Platte.  Smallmouth Bass!!  The smallies seemed to be everywhere today.  Whether it was nymphing the slower runs or stripping streamers, the were on the feed.  I was able to land many and below are a couple of pictures.  As stated above, carp on the South Platte in town is becoming a staple so I could not just forget about them.  I was able to get into a few of them today as well, and saw one that was easily pushing the 30 lb mark.  As far as the trout are concerned in the high country, fishing is outstanding.  The South Platte, Blue, Taylor, Colorado, and pretty much anywhere else is all producing.  We have slipped past Spring and are into the beginning of summer.  Get out and fish.  Better yet, hire a guide, whether myself or someone else and let us show you the ropes.
