Flow: 85 CFS
Temp: 36 F
Conditions: Cloudy with icing lines and rod guides.
Full day guide trip including incredible Ruben sandwiches at the Coyote Grill and Colorado’s smallest fly shop!
Fishing??? AWSOME! In the early morning the rock piles, (Excuse me! Multiple velocity in stream structures), above the Nature Center deck we picked up small bows on a hairs ear. Little did I know what was... to come…PIGS in TJ’s Tree!!! The name is going to change, this stretch or what Pete calls a reach, is I believe, going to be one of the premier runs in the tail water system. I will put a couple of pics on our Facebook page, but pictures do not do it justice. As you can see the smile on Dylan’s face tells it all. That is a 21 ½ inch bow caught on the H&L Egg. Corey came in with an 18 inch fatty in the slow water under TJ’s Tree. Yes, I said slow water under the tree thanks to the “J’ Hook just above the tree. For the rest of the day the egg was in! I lost count of the fish in the net, but a couple of fly fishers went home with new knowledge about weight and depth when nymphing, their primary goal by the way, and a new appreciation of the best tail water in Colorado.
Tight Lines!!!!!
