Get some before run-off!!

The Creek has been fishing quite well lately.  I have been doing my usual and swining soft hackles with my 2wt.  I was using a size 12 Chartreuse and Partridge.  I landed a 12 inch rainbow that really tested my 2wt.  Enjoy!!

Ice Off At It's Best!!!

Getting the itch with all of this warm weather?  Well get it while the getting is good.  Here are a few pics and a vid from Chad Sessions and Brett Butson!  Thanks Guys.

Jon's Trip to Cheeseman

I've fished Cheeseman Canyon 3 times in the last few weeks from the Gill Trail upstream.  Make sure to get up early and hit the water first to have success. The fish have been holding in deeper, darker water.  The egg sometimes slows down those smart ass fish; fishing 3 midges deep with significant weight has been good.  I have a love -- hate relationship with this place.  Although a few years' experience fishing tougher winter conditions and learning more about winter fishing is starting to lean me towards love.  But you definately have to beat the crowds.  Winter fishing has been great this year and as a Flyfishaholic it is a special time to be on the river.  Many rewarding trout come from winter fishing.

Great!!

Well I woke up this morning, getting ready to head into the outdoor store for another day of work, when I decided to check the snow report.  Wow Loveland got 4 inches.  That was a pleasant surprise.  Change of plans, the outdoor store will be late opening up today thursday Feb 9th.  Loveland was incredible.  It was deep in spots.  I guess this is when being a poor self employed jerky pays off.

Another Story From Jon Miller

The Blue River below the lower dam was a great fun on a recent warm winter day.  The smaller fish were hammering the pat's rubber legs but I was looking for bigger fish so I used egg to midge again with success.  This winter day was one of my best days ever on this stretch of river.  Be sure to stud the hell out of your boots because this is tough river to hike all day without some good grip!  10 a.m. - 2 p.m. seem to have been when the fish were hitting.

 

Thanks Again Jon Miller
