Winter has returned in waves, but the fish are looking forward to spring as we are. Often, the most productive fishing of the year occurs before run-off with the added benefit of no crowds to deal with. Midges, stoneflies and san juan worms are all producing.
Spring fishing is nearly here, but there are still a lot of days when the white stuff will be covering the banks. The fish don't mind, they're already wet and they are looking to feed. Everyone that we talk to has been enjoying success down near Parshall on the Colorado River. Some of the best flies right now are RS-2's, Buckskins, Midge larvae, WD-50's and don't be afraid to tie on a Pat's Rubber Legs. We will be tying flies this Sunday from 6:30 until 8:30 at the Winter Park Flyfisher so that our boxes are ready for the coming season. Feel free to swing by. Keep that rod bent this spring! |
