January 25, 2014
Flow: 89
Water Temp: 36-41
Confidence isn’t a word that can inspire others to greatness or convey a great technique. It’s the result of thinking, study and planning time executed with a strong work ethic. Those principles mixed with a little creativity are the foundation of Steel City Anglers and have served us well. In our third year we are the top outfitters on the Pueblo tailwater by no small margin. It may not be the biggest pond in the fly fishing world but it’s our home and a damn fine fishery.
Today lesson in confidence is a sign the Ark tailwater is coming back to its own. As the water (hopefully) continues to warm the big trout will start making more appearances. I went today to a black and olive san juan because in the last few outings they have been productive and saved my tail on my last guide trip. My companions had a good day but switched rigs often trying to find the key pattern. 
As the sun set on a beautiful 60 degree January day we sat down at the Coyote Grille for Fat Tires and fish and chips. Another confident angler having a cabernet with his lovely wife showing some class told me of his day.
To my surprise it was very similar with the exception that his confidence pattern was a size 20 rs2.
Fish with confidence no matter your favorite pattern and experiment below it. Enjoy our beautiful weather and book your adventure now. We have confidence.
Tight lines,
Ben
