February grand slam,

Apparently a bump in temperatures woke up some the other creatures in the river that go bump in the night. Anticipating crowds we sought lesser known parts and a hole known for its dichotomy but the results were unexpected. Red copper johns, black sjws and eggs were the trigger for bass, carp, catfish, trout and a slew of energetic suckers. Below Valco reports were of thin mints.

Join us next week at the Colorado Springs Boat & Outdoor Show in the Colorado Springs Event Center for great deals on trips and gear.

Tight lines,

Ben

Stack ‘em up. The last few weeks I’ve seen and heard numerous fishing days where two anglers fishing the same stretch of water have spectacularly different results. Exploring this phenomenon we’ve found the best practice is to start at the top of a trough and walk your presentation down past the tailouts, adjust your depth and do it again. When you find one there’s probably twenty more stacked around it. Thin mints, black size 14 rubber legs, 22 midges in black and cream and the ubiquitous SJW all produced trout. The river is clear and sight fishing has been great. Dry action has been slow with the cold but we’re anticipating big hatches as the weather warms. Book your adventure today and for every quarter the Broncos score a touchdown we will take 10% off your trip.

Go Broncos,

Tight lines,
