July 31, 2012 Small Stream Report<\/h1>\n

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

Date: <\/b>July 31, 2012<\/p>\n

Location: <\/b>Private small stream with beaver dams<\/p>\n

Weather:<\/b> Beautiful AM – Late day storms<\/p>\n

Stream Condition: <\/b>Excellent<\/p>\n

Report:<\/b>
\nSmall stream fishing is a kick! It is not for everyone but if no crowds, lots\u00a0of action, and dry flies appeal to you, this trip might be a perfect fit.<\/p>\n

Today started off early, with the forecast calling for early afternoon\u00a0storms, so we hit the water running. We knew we were in for good dry
\nfly conditions when we could see multiple trout rising in the beaver\u00a0ponds on the drive in.<\/p>\n

We strung an ultra-light 1wt fly rod and Jim (an accomplished angler)\u00a0gave it quite a workout. \u00a0The first cast resulted in an electric strike that\u00a0set the tone for a great day.<\/p>\n

Not often do I get to see a day where we fish exclusively dry flies. This\u00a0was one of those days. The fish were looking up and taking attractor\u00a0patterns with enthusiasm. Almost every good looking spot (and lots of\u00a0not so good looking spots) produced strikes.<\/p>\n

Primarily brown trout came to hand, but a few brook trout were fooled\u00a0as well. These wild fish had great color and were very eager to feed, as\u00a0proven in the photo below of the 13 inch brown with a 6-7 inch brown\u00a0coming out of his mouth. He still came up for a dry!<\/p>\n

If you are looking for big fish, this is not your trip as a 13-14 inch trout\u00a0would be a monster. \u00a0Anglers on our smaller waters should be prepared\u00a0to do some moderate hiking, much more so than in most of our\u00a0trips–for the best success we have to cover a lot of water. Fishing is\u00a0very dependent on stream flow.<\/p>\n

In trout news:
\n<\/u><\/b>2012 has been a challenging year for Colorado. Thankfully the fishing\u00a0has been very consistent and better than expected in most cases. We\u00a0are lucky to have a huge variety of water to choose from, and we\u00a0always try to move our clients around so you have the best experience\u00a0possible.<\/p>\n

The Platte is still fishing well and we expect good fishing through the\u00a0rest of the season.<\/p>\n
