  1. I've been fishing a 10-ft 3-weight for trout mostly this year. the 5-weight comes out when I need to throw smaller streamers or heavy nymph rigs, but it's mostly been collecting dust. For salt I like an 8-weight on days of lighter wind and a 9-weight for heavier blustering.
  2. Fished the Eagle River for the first time yesterday, got some nice browns and rainbows on hopper-dropper after some rain the night before. Shout out to Minturn Anglers for being cool people and helping with fly selection. Hooked 12, landed 8, some of which were upper teens and very healthy. Probably my best day of the year so far.
  3. It's a special stretch of water without a doubt - middle fork of the South Platte. Hopper season!
  4. Got out on the South Platte this weekend with the wifey and dogs, beautiful day
  5. Fished a couple hours locally on Friday evening. Hit a spot where I know there are fish but have never been able to find anything of decent size. Hot day, low flows. Caught this rainbow on a sz 12 BH pheasant tail nymph, also caught a heavy inner tube hatch. Wife brought the dogs out, one dog got her leg caught in my fly line and started running, jammed my fly into my finger pretty deep. Interesting day
  6. Had a great day on Saturday not in numbers of fish but got one great cutbow on a sz. 14 caddis nymph I tied. Water has been higher so we have been targeting the little pillows near the banks.
  7. Thanks guys! It just seems sort of weird using the heavy gear on smallish water
  8. This is a sick setup. Keep the pics coming man
  9. Hey guys. Hope everyone is safe and healthy. Crazy times! I have been fishing a stretch of the South Platte that is more similar to a creek in places. Lots of oxbows and at times it gets as narrow as maybe 15 ft, and as wide as maybe 50 ft. With runoff starting here (it's been in the 90s in Denver this week), I am going to have to figure out how to navigate higher water if I want to continue to fish this particular stretch. Let's say I do - I plan to fish nymphs and streamers, and it got me thinking - would you consider using sink tips/polyleaders/sinking lines, etc. in water this small? Flow is about 100 CFS or so and rising. I just have a feeling a floating line and heavily weighted streamer is not going to do the trick. Interested on your thoughts as this is still pretty new to me. Thanks!
  10. Middle fork of the South Platte yesterday
  11. Yea Philly! A lovely time of year ain't it?
