Flow: 2582

Water Temp: 55

Last week I received the Douglas Sky 9’5# four piece. This rod has seen some great reviews and even though the river is cooking but I had to test the mettle of the Sky on my home water. The first thing I noticed is the accuracy at ten feet or sixty. My favorite color of indicator is a clear thingambobber. Fishing heavy foam lines I usually have to switch to black. Today I didn’t have to do that because my presentation landed exactly where I anticipated and I could follow it easily. This thing casts to a dime and at $650.00 outperforms rods pushing $1000.00. The sky played trout well and even at our flows gave me the confidence to get into tight spaces. The brown depicted was caught with me on my back in tight quarters the rod pitched perfectly three or four times and we hooked up. Great backbone allowed for the ability to turn the brown a few times away from the lumber before putting it to the net. Lake Pueblo is fishing well and there’s a little more accessibility now. I spent the day doing more trolling than fishing however. The visibility in the lake is beautiful and sight fishing from a pontoon is a kick. When the waters high there is always something to do in P-Town.

Tight Lines,
