I'm into that! Didn't realize people do or could float it. How's that work? Mandatory raft from all the bottom bumping?

headed south for a friends wedding this weekend



this area is known for it's high lakes that are tough to get to but full of fish. the fishing was good.



the lakes were tough to get to. double flatted and had to drive out on the rims.

damn... way to use the wheels of steel! floating the p is pretty straightfoward. me n sfb fished it most entirely from the boat. we would have caught more if we bottom bounced caddis or pmd nymphs but it tooo goddamn fun slinging streamers. the cat is purrfect for it. small and hella manuverable. i can dp thursday or friday let me know.

[dfinn]

can't this week, got a stupid long list of to-do stuff before I get hitched this weekend but the following week I'm all about it. I'll get in touch.

[happytimefunbox]

blated congrats
rendezvoused w/ my greenie bro who stood beside me 18 years ago when I exchanged vows and acquired a better 1/2























fished well but 4 me it's more about the smile of an old acquaintance and the ability to cook pork products and set your shitter up in cool places.



happy holiday

[Meadow Skipper]

Fuck, way to get after it Dibs. I love that underwater releasing shot.

[Underoos]

(not my pic, from a friend)

[schwerty]

No big fish in your state.

[teleee]

Jesus Christ! I need to get on the water!

[Meadow Skipper]

All kinds of stoke.

So this was awesome:



My buddy and I are pretty new to Fly Fishing have been learning on this small Colorado Stream off the beaten path from the more popular gold medal waters in our neck of the woods.

Last night the fish were hitting our hopper/coppers like mad!. The fishing was great, we landed 8 assorted rainbows from 8 - 13" and lost a dozen more.

We went back tonight and even though the clouds and rain slowed the action a bit - we were still hooking a few rainbows yet again.

My buddy finds a small eddy with a nice 13" fish just hanging out there and he started dabbing his rig in there. I soon joined to watch.

The fish seemed a little interested in the terrestrial hopper but never actually bit. he tried various terrestraials and dry flies. We had good luck with trico patterns yesterday and tried some of those now tonight, no luck.

A light rain started falling and I figured we were going to have to walk away without hooking this fellow.

I had seen the occasional caddis flying about when we are there and sometimes an elk hair dry works well in this particular stream. but this dude wasn't interested in it at all. I tied on a CADDIS EMERGER I bought to use on the nearby Blue River figuring this might work.

I dropped it in front of his face and he still ignored it. Then the fish was distracted I dropped the "green caddis candy" quietly into the scum layer on the bottom of the 16" deep hole. As the fish turned back again I very slowly, as slow as I possibly could, pulled the emerger up toward the surface. (Mimicking exactly what I have learned nature does in streams.) My entomology lessons paid off!

The fish came out from under his log and slowly approached the emerger, he just simply opened his mouth and undramatically wrapped his lips around the pattern, I gave it a second and simply raised my rod and set the hook! We had him!

As I looked at him in the net I realized this was not another rainbow, not a brown or brookie! Turns out this is an ARCTIC CHAR that swam up 2 miles from Dillon Res. (My fly shop buddy, who helped catch a hundred of these for the recent study they did here, identified it for me. He knows a Char better than anyone I bet.)

More info on the famous Dillon Arctic Char:
Arctic char in Dillon Reservoir could enhance lake as top fishing destination | SummitDaily.com

"The reservoir is the only public fishery in the lower 48 states outside of Maine where anglers have a chance of landing the prized fish"

My ma broke her femur/hip gardening a year ago, has had a tough healing process, sold her house moved into assisted living, and has had a bit of a hard time dealing w/ it all.

Fishing has been heating up in Little Narragansett Bay, Long Island Sound, Watch Hill reef, and the Pawcatuck River estuary. Brought the first striper of the year on deck last night. It hasn't been a great season for stripers, but I think that may be changing real soon. Tons of baitfish in the water.
