Flow: 65
Water temp: 48
Pete Gallagher gave a terrific presentation tonight and
had a solution to all our fears for the 2013 Frostbite Fish-Off. River work will finish the section they’re on and let the water rest three days prior to
tourney day. 107 new structures are planned in the seven mile stretch and modifications to existing structures hole by hole look great. Our resident CPW biologist gave thumbs up for the bugs. These improvements are designed to stand the test of time and keep the river in the channel it needs to flourish. The schedule is created to minimize the impact on the fishery as well.
Now for the fishing, contrary to the reports from those that don’t live here the fishing’s been great. We’ve seen more pressure as the cold temperatures set in around the state but to call it combat fishing is just silly. Get in touch with Pueblo’s local guides and we’ll steer you to
open water on any day. Typical Ark patterns produced today with another FFO contestant with a 16 BH pheasant tail. Trout are holding in deep pools, the takes are very subtle and depth is critical. We have a spot open Saturday from a rescheduled trip. Book now, after Christmas we have 43 more trips booked through March. Thank you to all those that have made this such a wild ride.
Tight lines,
Ben
