Freeing from Winter’s Grip
Well here we go into another fishing season. Some of you may
think. Wow February is a little early! But to be honest with the warmer winter
temperatures the fishing has been off the hook. Not to mention we have many
more locations to fish than normal.
People have been floating from Pumphouse down already and
catching some nice fish. Rancho is running shuttles already as well. I have
also heard good things about the lower Colorado at Glenwood Springs and the
Roaring Fork from the Frying Pan down.
The reports from around the state have been quite nice. The
Arkansas in the Salida area is fishing great, with 30 plus fish days. The S.
Platte around Deckers has been fishing excellent. Then look for the Rainbows to
be on the move up and out of Eleven Mile Reservoir in to the Dream Stream. If
you can hit the Dream Stream right when the bright Rainbows are up. You had
better hang on for some good fights.
All this early season action may be a little out of the norm
or at least the 70 plus temperatures. But the reality is that these rivers
always break free of winters grip around now. Give or take a week or two.
In a short time we will also start seeing some of the years
first Blue Wing Olive hatches on the Arkansas and lower Colorado Rivers. The
Arkansas has some of the best early season dry fishing in the country and we
are ready to get you out for an experience on the Ark.
If float fishing is your thing, think about a trip on the
Roaring Fork or lower Colorado. These rivers also have some of the first
hatches in the state. Blue Wings and then Caddis and not to mention the Rainbow
spawn that gets the fish active.
There are so many good fishing experiences in the spring and
I really want you to come and get a taste for yourselves.
Another great experience this spring is our Guide School.
Have you ever wanted to become a professional fly fishing guide or just learn
how to operate a drift boat safely and successfully? Well this is the class for
you! This class will get you all the required training to be a Certified River
Guide as well as teach you the finer points of successful guiding and fly
fishing.
If any of these spring opportunities interest you, please
give me a call or email and we can discuss further.
Hope to see you soon!
