I had the opportunity to go down last Thursday (11/29) for a few days. A buddy of mine just switched jobs and had a few days off. So we hooked up the anchor and jumped in the truck and ran down. We got down to CG 1 around 1100 and set up then headed for the river. I don't think I've ever seen such a slow flow. We managed to make our way down below 64 bridge to the ramp and found some riffles. I hooked up to a 3 lb. brown on the P&P on the 3 rd pass, what a way to start a trip. My buddy caught some small Bows nothing great.

The rest of the weekend we fished from the spring down to zone 3 and found the most luck around zone 1. Everything from midges to cracklebacks worked however they seemed very picky. I found myself going back to the "NoLuck special" after trying several different midges. I did turn several above the Holland Dam on a Stetson. Kinda fun getting near someone throwing size 18 and 20 dry fly's and I sling one of those big Stetson's in and start taking fish.

The flow out of the spring is very low, as a result the flow is slow as well. I prefer more water but the weather was awesome. CG 1 was pretty much empty, only 5 or 6 trailers and a few tent campers here and there. Very quiet conditions and peaceful. Gave us both time to digress and get past the everyday crap that we deal with.

I was a fantastic trip.

Thanks for the report Pat. I almost made it down last sat. but stayed home an went flying instead. I just could not pass up 65 degrees and no wind!

I have a buddy that wants to go so I'll be taking him down to Bennet sometime this winter. Looks like the weather is finally going to turn to winter next week.

Guess i better google "stetson fly"

Don't think you will find it. One of the "good ole boys" from the other side of the state turned me on to it.

You'll have to hook up with the famous inventor some day Jerry. He is a handsome young fella that fishes with a bamboo rod and pretty much fishes dry flys exclusively. Or better yet you probably need to have me point him out to you. I'm sure he will be happy to show you or give you one of his signature flies.

Actually he is the tier, his wonderful wife is the skilled marksman with it!!

Rich, not to change the subject, how much do they charge for rent to park your trailer and where are you looking at?'

I noticed that there was a nice sized fairly new unit parked outside of Weavers with at least one slide for sale the other day. It was at least the size of my trailer..
