Wednesday, Oct 10, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: Today was just such a great day - in fact, any day on the water is great! Those were some fine fish!
What a wonderful day to spend out on the water catching trout and experiencing the beauty of fly fishing in Colorado!
Fishing Highlights:
It was a thrill to see the wake of 24" rainbow charging towards our streamer at the tail-out and the epic subsequent battle. John and Allison enjoyed a splendid fall day fly fishing at Lincoln Hills. We waited until the water warmed up a little bit and then set to landing some great looking trout. Great day over all to spend with friends.
The fishing is great.
Clear skies and 44-47 degree weather. The water temperature was between 52-55 degrees and Crystal Clear.
