Tim (Backcountry Outfitters) came down with his wife and young daughter on sunday, everybody was catching fish
but I think Tim's daughter outfished a lot of the guys around her, she landed 4 that she hooked and landed by herself
and she landed a total of 8 in about and hour and half, she is going to make a great fisher, she has the eye of a seasoned
angler. Or maybe it was stink eye, not sure about that one, she was using a san juan worm, and a 6'9" 4wt 5pc Winston
Fly rod, perfect rod for the beginning fly fisher.
Water is still falling, and the dry fly fishing has been great.
I have been catching trout on caddis, blue wing olives, adams,
griffiths gnats and cracklebacks for the past few weeks.
The water is very clear and the flow has slowed up some, so
the sight fishing is getting very good, I've been catching maybe 5 or
6 trout a weekend over 3lbs and a few over 8 in the past few weeks.
There are a lot of nice 5-8lb fish left in the water, a few have been
killed, but most are doing pretty good, tons of smaller trout in the
water, I have been catching anywhere from 30 to 50 trout a day on
a mixture of drys, glo-balls, streamers and san juan worms.
Good nymphs right now are pheasant tails, hares ears, copper johns
brassies, thread jigs, small egg patterns, zebra midges and sow bugs
have all been working.
The water is clear, so the use of 7X or 6X is recommended.
On the spinning rods glo-balls, singe hook roostertails(dk colors)
marabou jigs and small single hook spoons(with feathers) are doing well.
When spin fishing right now, you should use 2 or 3 lb fishing line.
Stay away from fluorescent lines, these will spook the trout right now.
Fishing has been great come out and enjoy.
