Friday, Oct 19, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: What a great day of Colorado fly fishing! This is the most fun I have had on a fly fishing trip close to Denver!
"Wow, this place is incredible! I cannot wait to come back next year!"
Fishing Highlights:
The morning was cold and windy making for some tough fishing but in the afternoon the sun came out and we caught fish on dry flies! Lots of fish are looking to the surface right now making for some fun and exciting fly fishing.It was a beautiful day on the water. And with the river being low and the water crystal clear it made for some incredible sight fishing!
The fishing is good.
Clear skies and 56-59 degree weather. The water temperature was between 40-43 degrees and Crystal Clear.
