October 9, 2016
Flow: 120
Water Temp: 58-62
Hat trick just before kickoff.
The river continues to move to winter conditions and the fishery, while still technical, is coming into its famous winter environment. The first weekend I’ve worn waders it is very apparent I need a new set. The Days are getting shorter and we’ll be booking trips for the diehard anglers soon.
Now, if I could write a few words about how fine the Douglas Sky rod fights big Tailwater fish, I’d be a better author.  This is a great top end rod that retails $300.00 less than its competition.  The brown depicted ran fifty yards upstream and fifty yards down and the sky had the back bone to keep him out of the rocks and lumber. Spectacular loading and accurate forward casts, I’m excited to read the next five weight shootout.
The jay hooks that were not accessible for a slow drift are producing the best trout and the season is just going to get better. The water temperatures make for hard fighting fish taking san juans, olive hare’s ears and tricho patterns. I ended the day on a high note with the brown after a rainbow and cutthroagt and headed home just in time for kickoff.
Pueblo’s local guides are on the water daily and know where the trout and carp are in these changing conditions. Book your adventure today.
Tight lines,
Ben
