Wednesday, Sep 12, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: "September is here and Colorado Fly Fishing is at its best. Fly fishing reports have been excellent and it looks to be another great fall for fishing close to Denver!"
Fishing Highlights:
We had a great day on the water. The morning was challenging but in the afternoon we had a really good hour of streamer fish, large and aggressive trout were chasing big bunny flies. To top it all off an epic blue winged olive hatch came off in the late afternoon and we caught some really nice fish on the surface on a variety of mayfly dries.The fishing is good. Overcast skies and 44-47 degree weather. The water temperature was between 44-47 degrees and Slightly Off.
