Spring seems to be in the air here in Colorado. The next couple of days we will see
temperatures in the sixties in the Front Range and forties up in the
mountains. This kind of weather gives
me the itch to get out and enjoy some fishing, trail riding or jut about
anything outside to soak up the sun.
A thaw like this happens every year and while I know winter
will rear its head once again. It is
sure nice to know the days are getting longer and spring is just around the
corner.
So far this winter has been quite spectacular here in the
high country. We have seen many feet of
snowfall since the first of the year and our snow pack is up over 100% of
average. This not only means many good
things for Colorado and our trout streams, but the West in general.
An abundance of water is something we have been lacking here
in Colorado the past few years. This has put a tremendous strain on our trout
streams, forests and economies to name a few.
With the promise of plenty of water in our streams, brings the promise
of healthy ecosystems and local economies. This coming summer is looking to be
one of the best in years and I am looking forward to all the beauty and joys it
will bring.
With late season snowfall last spring and unusual amounts of
rain last summer, our reservoirs have been quite full. This has made for great
flows out of our tailwaters this winter and that has meant good fishing.
The Blue locally has been fishing quite good, as well as the
Colorado below Williams Fork Reservoir.
Soon many sections of rivers will be breaking free of ice and the late
winter, early spring fishing will have plenty of opportunities. This is always a great time to get on the
water and look for unsuspecting trout that readily eat a fly.
Soon we will also be seeing some of the first Blue Wing
Olive hatches on the Arkansas and Colorado Rivers. Then shortly after that comes the Caddis hatch. With the
abundance of water in the streams, look for this Mother’s Day caddis hatch to
be one of the best in years.
This is an exciting time of year, with change right around
the corner. So many exciting and fun
things are to come. Are you going to
join us this summer? We sure would
love to show you a great experience on the river and help you experience the
splendor of the spring and summer to come.
