NONSTOP DRY FLY ACTION ON THE BIG T

Fished the Big Thomson today, it was amazing, I caught fish almost every cast for the entire time I was there. They were mostly rainbows and a few browns. It was an awesome day on the river that I won't soon forget. I took a few photos, but I  really didn't want to set my rod down.



MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND BOAT FISHIN'

My parents and I took my dads boat out this weekend and we an awesome day on the water. My mom was trolling a worm on a crawler harness while my dad and I fished the shallows with crankbaits. We did really good and caught more than just a sunburn.

My dad started things off with this healthy rainbow

Then I got this one in the boat, but my mom had one on at the same time that's right double header.

Exact quote: "You better take a picture of this motherfucker"

This was definitely the fish of the day.

I finally got a bass like I was trying for all day, it was wierd having those rainbows chase down our crankbaits, but really fun, they sure can jump when they get hooked up.

Another nice rainbow to cap off a great on the lake.

CINCO DE CINCO

I fished the Poudre in town today and caught another nice brown, probably about fifteen or sixteen and very colorful.

After the release he just chilled in the rocks for a little while. I snapped a photo I reached down to try and revive him, but he jetted off so I think he made it, at least I hope so.

Then as soon as I got back to fishing the river came up and got all muddy and full of logs, which ended my day.







GOOD SIZED BROWN TROUT

I caught this fish off of Overland in that Lions Park, but there was definitely much larger ones cruising around in the deep pools.

GETTING SOME POUDRE

The Poudre has been fishing really good lately, but I still haven't caught that big one. Here are some photos:



Also, I got a new piece of gear that I think will become very useful as temperatures heat up and the days get longer. Cheers





RESERVOIR INLET

My fishing buddy and I went down to one of the Fort Collins Area Reservoirs, seeing how it's spring time went headed straight to the inlet, and to our delight water was flowing in from the irrigation ditch. Hoping to catch some bass and or crappie we tried some minnows on bobbers and working crankbaits on our second rods. After an hour or so we finally go some action, but not what we expected, we started slaying trout on the minnows. I caught like seven or eight little guys, and my buddy got a really large one.

Flooded Out

Went down to the Poudre in town because the weather was too questionable for the canyon, the fish were rising like crazy, after a few fly changes I caught these two fish. The rainbow was pretty chubby and put up a good fight. Then without warning the water rose like a foot and a bunch of huge logs came down it was kind of scary like a flash flood or something. Even worse the fishing was ruined, wish I could of stayed they were really stacked up.
