Saturday, Oct 13, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: I think I should be cold, but when you are catching fish you cannot really tell!
Snow in the morning and sunny in the afternoon. This is Colorado fall fly fishing at its finest. Golden trees and Silvery fish.
Fishing Highlights:
Watching Hunter and Nicole double up twice was pretty neat and as soon as the sun peaked out fishing turned on big time. The sun coming out from behind the snow clouds and warming us and the fish.
The fishing is great.
Overcast skies and 44-47 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
