Independence Day Fly Fishing

Today is July 4th and the anniversary of our great nation's declaration to become a sovereign state.  It is important that today we take time to thank those that risk their lives every day to keep this country safe and free.  Fly fishing has been great on the South Platte River, here in Colorado.  Higher water has kept fish actively feeding and happy.  We are seeing hatches of Midges, Caddis, Yellow Sallies, PMDs, and even some Tricos today.  Many of the fish caught below were caught on Dry Flies, and although nymphing has been the most productive means of turning fish, these large trout are starting to look up more and more.  July is filling up fast and I am already getting calls for August and even October to chase giant migratory Brown Trout.  If you are interested in booking a trip to fine tune your fly fishing skills, a fly fishing lesson, or just want to learn more about fishing the South Platte, give me a call at 719-494-6480, or email me at tere5643@gmail.com.  Below are some fish from recent trips.
