South Park Snow Day

While the snow was falling heavily in South Park today, my buddy Tanner and I decided to head out and partake in some late winter fishing.  The snow fell all day, but that didn't stop us from getting into some great fish.  Nymphing was the way to go today, although there were risers taking midges off of the surface.  Sight fishing was more than difficult today with the snow falling hard.  The deep slow water resulted in the most takes to our nymph rigs.  The typical winter fare did their job well as we were able to fool quite a few fish today between the two of us, including a very nice chunk of a Rainbow and a long snakey Brown.  There were a few other anglers out today but not enough to have water taken away from you.  With spring around the corner, now is a great time to book a Guided Fly Fishing Trip to chase the big lake run Rainbows and Cutthroats that will move out of 11 Mile Reservoir and into the Dream Stream.  As a side note, check out my new article in the March/April issue of American Angler Magazine.  Below are a few pictures from today.

Great Fishing Close to Home

This morning after running some errands, I decided to head down to Deckers by myself for a little while and see if I could get any fish to eat.  I arrived shortly after 12 and only fished until 1:45 or so.  To say the least, the fishing was good.  In just a short time I was able to get a baker's dozen to net, including a really nice chunk of a Rainbow.  Fish were eating both nymphs and dries.  The fish were stacked heavy in the faster deep water and were eating pretty hard.  Midges were coming off when I got there and lasted until I left.  I hope everyone is having a great start to 2013 and I look forward to having the guide season start in full swing in the next month or so.  If you would like to book a trip for the Spring, give me a call at 719-494-6480 or email me at tere5643@gmail.com.  Below is just one of the great fish that came to hand today.
