May 31, 2011 Colorado Trout Hunters Colorado Fly Fishing Trip Report<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.78″ background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Date: <\/b>May 31, 2011<\/p>\n

Location:<\/b> High Mountain Lakes (Private) Call 303-325-5515 for guide trip bookings<\/p>\n

Number of Anglers:\u00a0 <\/b>1<\/p>\n

Guide: <\/b> Tad Howard<\/a><\/p>\n

Weather:<\/b> Cool in am and getting warmer as the day progressed<\/p>\n

Lake Condition: <\/b>2-3 feet of visibility<\/p>\n

Report:<\/b>
\nCool temperatures greeted us as we started the day early, fly fishing at\u00a0just under 10,000 feet elevation. Almost as soon as we entered the\u00a0water, the fish let us know we had made the right call by getting up\u00a0early and hitting the lake. \u00a0The ice had only been off the lake for about\u00a02 days, and the trout were eager to feed after a long winter in the high-country.<\/p>\n

Jim Keller of Keller Kustom Fly Rods was the lucky angler who was the\u00a0first rod of the season on the lake. It was a treat to watch an artfully\u00a0made 4wt bamboo rod put to the test on some absolutely beautiful high\u00a0country trout.<\/p>\n

The trout were feeding subsurface, but that should change as things\u00a0warm up in the next few days and the bugs begin to hatch.<\/p>\n

There were several highlights, including a camera-shy mega-bow that \u00a0found its way back into the lake before any photos were taken. We did\u00a0manage to get the lake slam: cut-bow, rainbow, brook trout, and\u00a0cutthroat trout, as well as some big bookies who made it through the
\nwinter in good shape. All in all, it was a great day on the water!<\/p>\n

In trout news:
\n<\/b>There is still a large amount of snow in the high country. This amount of\u00a0snow means some higher water in the streams in the short term — and\u00a0hopefully great fishing all summer in the long term. \u00a0The lakes are iced\u00a0off and starting to fish well, which should continue for the next several\u00a0weeks. Look for good fishing but high water on front range tailwaters as\u00a0the snow melt makes its way through the system. The west slope rivers\u00a0in Colorado are VERY high right now.<\/p>\n
