Trips don&#8217;t always<br \/>\nwork out this good, but these 3 days are a great example of the kind\u00a0of extraordinary fly fishing Colorado can offer if the stars line up and<br \/>\nthe fish gods smile on you.<\/p>\n<p><b>Day 1:<\/b>\u00a0We fished the Dream Stream in South Park, Colorado. The\u00a0wind was not a factor, and as luck would have it we avoided other<br \/>\nanglers most all of the day &#8211;although there was a good number of\u00a0people fishing. \u00a0Holt started out the trip in style with an 18-inch<br \/>\nbeautiful cutthroat on the 2nd cast of the morning. This set the tone\u00a0for an incredible next few days of fishing. \u00a0Everyone caught lots of<br \/>\nfish throughout the day. Bufkin managed to land a couple big brown trout, and Holt not only landed the\u00a0<b>South Park Super Slam<\/b>\u00a0(Brown<br \/>\nTrout, Rainbow Trout, Cut-Bow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Kokanee Salmon, all over 16 inches) he also landed a 6th species&#8211;the\u00a0rubber lipped hard pulling kissabley cute sucker. \u00a0The big brown\u00a0pictured to the left was the last fish of the day and put up an\u00a0incredible fight.<\/p>\n<p><b>Day 2:<\/b>\u00a0After a fulfilling first day we decided to fish day 2 on a very\u00a0nice private ranch. The fish put up some incredible battles in the\u00a0high water. Heavy tippet and good fish fighting skills were necessary\u00a0to put the fish in the net. We were into quality fish all day. Nymph\u00a0fishing was the most productive. For every fish that came to hand we\u00a0waved goodbye to many more due to the small barbless hooks we\u00a0were using and the high water flows. All in all, it was still a\u00a0spectacular day of fishing in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p><b>Day 3:<\/b>\u00a0We fished another private area on the South Platte. Water\u00a0conditions were the same as day 2, but we were more prepared to<br \/>\ndo battle with the big fish in high water and day 3 saw the\u00a0percentage of fish landed go up dramatically. There was also a 1\u00a0hour spell mid-day when we started spotting monster fish along the\u00a0banks feeding. We crawled on hand and knees and managed to\u00a0hook 5 monsters in a row! Three behemoths came to hand and are\u00a0pictured below. The biggest was a\u00a0<b>29-inch monster<\/b>\u00a0landed by\u00a0Dave. This was probably the best back to back big fish run I have\u00a0seen in my guide career! The rest of the day saw great action with\u00a0all anglers landing many quality fish.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.78&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"picture_section\">\n<div class=\"masonry\">\n<div class=\"item\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Fall2010_003-285x120.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"desc\">Chrome Kokanee Salmon<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Fall2010_052-495x369.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"desc\">Dave&#8217;s beautiful cutthroat trout from day 1.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Fall2010_061-495x358-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"desc\">Holt with an amazing brown trout caught at the end of the first day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Fall2010_067-495x357.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"desc\">A nice rainbow from the start of the 2nd day of fishing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Fall2010_072-495x356.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"desc\">Hooked up at the barns on day 2.
