Colorado Fish Kill on The North Fork South Platte!

2009-12-09T00:02:00.000-07:00

Meyers: No easy solution for fish kill
By Charlie MeyersThe Denver Post

The locations are miles apart, yet very close in their cause and concern. Whether the angling community and Denver Water can gain some solutions to the problems that cause trout to die on the North Fork of the South Platte River upstream from Bailey, and on South Boulder Creek where it flows from Gross Reservoir, remains to be seen. Because it is recent and involves lots of money and very large fish, the North Fork situation has attracted the most and immediate attention. Further, it features a sequel even more enduring and dramatic.

From Oct. 28 to Nov. 7, Denver Water squelched the flow through the Roberts Tunnel, which delivers water from Dillon Reservoir through the Continental Divide and ultimately to the taps of the Denver metro.

Another Great Holiday Week in Florida

Link To My Trip and Fishing Pics

Another great trip down to Florida again. Anytime I get a chance to see the family, enjoy some nice scenery, seafood, fishing and relaxation, I'm all over it! Despite having to deal with a nasty cold front that came in days before my arrival, we tried to make the best of it. Take a look at our trip and see what you think. I know it won't be long before I'm back on some Saltwater whether chasing Tarpon in Boca, Redfish in La or Bones in Belize.

Fun Night With The Midge Masters Rick Takahashi and Jerry Hubka

2009-11-17T00:02:00.002-07:00

Great Dinner Night Out With Friend's and The Midge Experts!

I'm still reeling from a fun Party the other night. My friend Brian had a few people over for dinner including the Midge Masters..Rick Takahashi, Jerry Hubka and others. Brian did most of the photography for this new book, check it out it's every fly fisherman's perfect fishing bible!

Talk about a fun evening we had eating enough food to feed an army, talking about recent/future fish outings, incredible midge patterns, upcoming fly tying events and what's new on the market for fly fishing equipment. The story's that were told I'm still chuckling about, whether it was one of Gary Okizaki's wild tales or Todd's. Most know Gary as one of the premiere guides at Blue Quill Angler and has become a well known name in the guiding community as well as fly tying community.

Rick and Jerry are also great guys and very well known on the tying industry, especially in the midge field. Just one look at their background and knowledge of midge patterns truly blows you away, all it takes is one look at their new book to marvel at the styles of patterns they've developed over the years. All I can say is that I can't wait to see what's in store next for the guys and books/videos for the next few years. Jerry continuously stay on the go from the Modern Midge Book to also helping with Pat Dorsey's recent Fly Fishing Tailwaters book, he is always
busy it seems.

Fly Fishing Tailwaters, Pat Dorsey's New Book

2009-12-01T09:00:00.002-07:00

Pat Dorsey Talks Tailwater Fishing and Everyone Listens

I was fortunate enough to talk with Pat a few weeks back about Tailwater fishing and his new book. Whenever Pat talks about fishing, whether around the South Platte areas, regional Tailwaters or fly patterns...I listen and learn!

Tailwaters provide extraordinary year round fishing, but you have to know how to fish them. Tailwater expert angler and guide Pat Dorsey provides the tips and tactics you need to succeed in these challenging waters. This is another amazing book Pat has put out and worth checking out! Another local expert and friend Jerry Hubka helped Pat in writing this book. I spent an evening with Jerry a few weeks back at a friends house and picked his brian also on writing this new book. I think with all of the knowledge from these two and years spent on these Tailwaters, it proves to be another great read for quite some time.

Time To Get On A Few Reds, Albie's and Snook On The Fly

Any chance I get to get back to Florida I'm all over it! Due to cheap flights, a free condo to stay at on the Beach in Clearwater, access to a boat and a ton of water to choose from....I'm There. A few times a year I get back down South to chase some Redfish, Snook, False albacore, Jacks, or if I'm lucky, Tarpon!

With the weather cooling down, most redfish are settling into their fall and early winter homes around the ICW. Most bait is also pushing to deeper water and getting thin on the flats. With water cooling off and the few cold fronts starting, the action in the skinny water really starts to heat up. With big schools in full force roaming the flats in search of crustaceans, shrimp, chubs, greenbacks, and any other type of bait that might be an easy meal off the flats. Schools can range from just a few fish to as big as a football field. I have seen fish from 15 inches to 25lbs on the flats this time of year. You can still land the big Bull Reds with your typical light tackle rigs or 7 weight fly rod, but they definitely test your angling skills and put your tackle to the test. Destin, Florida is also another great place I like to Redfish, I grew up going there and if you can time it right, that place has some Monster Bulls as well.

We're set up for some guiding one day around the Homasassa area and hope to hit a few hotspots in the ICW for the remainder in the daytime. Lagoon areas and some backwater canals at night around docks will be where my fly will be flying so wish me some luck!

All I can think of is, where have they been again and how large are the fish they've caught! The next 15 minutes are consumed by another sweet video chasing large brown trout and leaving me for more! Did it disappoint, I don't think so! Are there big fish involved? You better believe it, am I headed to Wisconsin next Fall....you can answer that one for me!

Nice going guys on the record brown trout and another sweet video. Can't wait to see what's next and to hopefully see you back in Colorado next Spring for some fishing.

BASALT — The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is taking heat over its operations in the Frying Pan Valley this summer.

“In short, the six weeks between approximately July 26 and Sept. 6 was a disaster for water-related recreation in the Fryingpan Valley,” says a letter from Basalt and the Ruedi Water and Power Authority. The latter entity operates a small hyrdo-electric project at the reservoir and closely monitors Ruedi water issues for local governments.

Late Summer and Fall Fishing on The Dream Stream
Link to Fish Pictures and Dream Stream Info

Dream Stream fishing can be good, or in 90% of the cases this past year, very crowded and windy. Either way, there are always a fair amount of nice fish to go after if you know where to look, where to hide from the masses and the right flies to use. Do your homework and expect to do some walking in order to catch some nice fish in this neck of the woods. Big fish thrive on big food and from my picture above, I think you know what size of fish could eat these Lobsters!

Late Summer as well as Fall fishing has been a fun one despite low numbers of browns being spotted and warmer temps than normal. Each trip arriving even as early as 7am can still have atleast 5 cars in each parking lot so be prepared to fight the crowds, the wind and leave the small rods at home!

Fall Fishing, Brown Trout and Few Crowds...Oh Yeah! Link To Full Story and More Pictures

After having my 1st weekend off from fishing in 2 months, I was going through withdrawals and had to get back out on some quality water again fast. Where did we go you ask? Well why not the Rado! I lived in this area some 12 years ago and each opportunity to get back there is met with a gracious attitude by any person that tags along with me for some hot fishing. I won't say when we hit it but it was within the last month or so and hasn't disappointed.

Nothing like an early morning ride to get the juices flowing and some eager trout awaiting right at 1st light. It's hard to beat being the first person on the water and on my second cup of joe when it's only 6am!

Dave hit a honey hole of his that truely paid off. Than again this is actually called "Daves Hole " believe it or not, he owns it each time we go there! "Troutdawg's hole" didn't fare as well but there were so many other good holes, who needed my hole.

This was another fun spot that rarely sees anyone, most can't find it and the ones that do rarely fish it for long anyways. Boy do I love Fall fishing in Grand county...I may have to pick up residency here again.

Trout Bums Gathering of Misfits and Fishaholics

So I'm opening another email addressed "When is the next Trout Happy Hour again?" Funny thing is that this is about the 5th email in weeks I've opened that asked the exact same thing. Well there's only one solution to the problem, have another Trout Happy Hour.

We usually get together when fishing season slows down for everyone; unfortunately it seems these guys don't ever stop fishing so we decided to have it during a recent lull if you will. Any opportunity to have a few drinks, tell a few lies and to meet a few other fishaholics is always popular with these guys. Last year we averaged anywhere between 10 to 15 people per gathering and tried to meet at least 3 times. I have a feeling this winter we'll have quite a number of meetings at the Irish Hound from the sound of it. Most of our guest it seems are in the Fly Fishing Blogger world which included people like Kyle from Compleat Thought, Larry from Fly Fishing Crazy, and Wade from Rocky Mountain Troutfitters /Colorado Fishing Guide were just a few. Too bad a few had to bail at the last minute and couldn't show but are on the list for our next meeting, that means you guys from Trout's Fly Shop, Orvis Cherry Creek, Nick from Reel Escape Films, Sabrina from She Loves Fly Fishing, Dan from Muskies Inc , Fred from Denver Trout Unlimited and many others are on the list for a rain check!

Hope to see you at the next Trout Happy Hour come Wintertime!

Trout Species of The Week

Location of The Week

The brown trout is not a native species to NY waters. The brown trout were introduced to NY waters from Europe. The brown trout is able to survive and flourish in warmer waters that other trout species will not tolerate. This is one reason for its growing popularity among the anglers of NY.

The brown trout can thrive in streams or lakes. They can with stand heavy fishing pressure better than the native trout species. The main reason for this is that brown trout are more active at night and can be hard to catch in the daytime. The biggest brown trout are caught after dark, or early in the morning especially during the summer months.

The brown trout will feed on a variety of items. In streams they will feed on snails, crayfish and other small fish species. They will feed on a variety of insects including mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies when they are available. In the larger lakes they feed mostly on smelt and alewives. This is why they grow to such large sizes in the lakes.

The brown trout in the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario experience a phenomenal growth rate. They are able to utilize the colder water and venture in to warmer water that rainbow and lake trout do not feed in. The New York State record brown trout weighed 33 lb. 2oz. It was caught by Tony Brown on a Smithwick Rogue from Lake Ontario on June 10, 1997 aboard Dixie Dandy with Captain Gerry Bresadola.

Spawning for the brown trout takes place in the fall. Each year in October and November the tributaries of the Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes receive a large run of these spawning fish. Unlike salmon Brown Trout will hit a fly or lure when presented properly. Eighteen Mile Creek, Oak Orchard Creek, Salmon River, Oswego River, Niagara River, Black River, Genesee River, and Maxwell Creek are some of the fall hot spots for fall brown trout fishing.

Catch It While You Can!

I remember Brian O'keefe telling the story of the cover shot. They had been fishing for weeks and running low on food, not beer they still had plenty of that he joked about. They needed to eat and what better idea than to catch some big fish. He happened to come across a big Barracuda and in no time they had it landed. What was better is that they gave it to a local village group and they ended up feeding them for a few days following. It always pays to catch fish for locals if you ever grow hungry on a far away trip!

Fall Fishing Stillwaters..Flies and Tips!

2009-11-02T00:05:00.007-07:00

Bring On Fall Stillwater Fishing

With Fall brings in cooler temps and a renewed activity when it comes to trout feeding as well as fewer crowds. Yes, stillwater is not for everyone and I still can hear a few of my friends commenting on "why would I want to fish stillwater in the fall?" All I can respond is that if you want to catch big fish, enjoy fewer crowds and an easier technique to catch fish, stillwater is your ticket.

Trout spend much more time in shallower water during this time frame so they can be easier targets and the much needed skill for the rest of the year is somewhat thrown out the window. Do I fish with Chironomids? I don't think so for Fall, sure you can, but a majority of flies used will consist of Leeches, scuds, damsel nymphs and any big streamers you can throw!

I'm partial to big streamers and whether or not you want to throw leech patterns, big crayfish patterns, muddler minnows or mouse patterns at night, they will all produce. Keep in mind that you want to focus on lakes with large brown trout populations, why? Due to Fall bringing on the spawn period for brown trout this makes them very active, not saying at all to target spawning trout, but due to the various periods that make up this time frame many of the brown trout and rainbow populations will be quite active for tightlines. Here in Colorado Antero is not targeted as much but still fishes well. I would focus my efforts on the Delaney Buttes area as well as Spinney Mtn Rez. Other areas of focus would also include Hebgen lake, Henry lake, Duck or Pryamid lakes.

Big Trout on the Fraser River Colorado!

2008-07-01T00:57:00.006-06:00

So the Rivers are up and everyone says stay at home...Hogwash!! Get out and search for some big fish when high water hits.

More on our FlyFish Addiction Site
A few of us were bored with Lake fishing recently since that's all we've been doing for the last month so we decided to hit some rivers, mostly that of the Fraser. For those that don't know about the Fraser it's somewhat os a small river but in a few areas it opens up and turns into a decent little fishery. A fishery that is known for 3-4 weight water fishing that is.

On this fine day I got lucky and though the water was up, murky and not the greatest for catching fish, we had crazy luck on our side and a few hotspots only a few locals know about. After hearing much, reading some and watching a bit on Landon Mayer on "How To Catch Big Fish" I did what most Denver fisherman do, got lucky! I saw this beast just ever so carefully go by me and I went after her! Thank goodness my small net worked

What did I catch it on....well a Borski Saltwater of all things, when nothing else works I go for a little Saltwater action to practice my Saltwater fly patterns to get ready for upcoming trips.

Steve hitting a Honey Hole that disagreed with his Saltwater flies! Brian did manage a few on some Black wolly's though, despite my willingness to shy away from what worked for me.
