Transition Time

This week I had another batch of great trips on the South Platte River.  Both on public water an hour from Denver, as well as out in South Park, fishing has continued to be good.  August is usually a time of transition on the Platte.  Water temps heat up and fishing tends to slow.  This year though, we have been blessed with great flows.  Fishing has remained steady. Whether you are looking for numbers of fish or looking to catch (or have a shot at) a trophy, both sections of the Platte are producing.  Fall is around the corner and fish are just starting to chase streamers a little more willingly.  This will only increase as we get closer to fall.  There have been many different hatches that are turning fish.  Tricos, BWO, PMD, and still some Yellow Sallies have been getting fish to eat both on the surface and below. Crowds are also starting to get heavier and sectoins of water that have been fished heavily are noticeably more difficult to fish.  That being said, we did get some great fish this past week.  Below are a few of those great fish.
