Thursday, Aug 16, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: "I can't believe how many fish are in here...this river is amazing."
It's crazy when you land a 5 pound fish and it's not even the biggest fish of the day.
"This is Colorado Fly Fishing at its very best!"
Fishing Highlights:
Epic day on the river. The fish ate hard and heavy all day with an incredible amount of fish making it to the net. Both big fish and small fish were hooked regularly. Today is one of those days that we will remember for a really long time. Two fish over 5 pounds within the first 60 minutes on the water. What a way to start the day.The streamer fishing was off the hook and the afternoon dry fly fishing really made the day!
The fishing is fantastic.
Partly Cloudy skies and 56-59 degree weather. The water temperature was between 44-47 degrees and Crystal Clear.
