Flow: 90
Water Temp: 59
Fall is here and we’re seeing magnificent colors in the foliage and the fish. The browns are exhibiting the red spawning dots that I personally find so cool. The rainbows are following suit with a false spawn and this year it’s looking more pronounced. I caught a 15” bow with a very mature kipe jaw that was unusual for its size. Trout are in green and riffled waters feeding actively. BWO hatches are abundant but dry action is slow. The water is a little stained but with stealth and patience sight fishing opportunities abound. Today’s color was red. Blood midges, san juans and red copper johns were effective all day. Sight fish for big individuals near the bank or nymph just off the fast seams above and dropping into deep pools. Catch fish, have fun and bring your fish stories to “where the Yellowstone Goes” next Saturday October 27th at the Runyon theater. Filmmakers will be there to present before the film. Stick around afterwards for a guide auction featuring Pueblo’s finest and knowledgeable guides. Proceeds of the auction go to Trout Unlimited chapter 509 to continue our good work.
Hope to see you there and thanks in advance,
Ben and Lou
