Denver Carp Slam Recap...A Night Out on The South Platte

A Night on The Platte

The 2nd Annual Evening on the South Platte was a blast for all those that were able to make it this year. New Belgium beer, Gauchezco Argentinean wine and heavy hors d’oeuvres was included as was an enetertaining band. There also was a great silent auction that followed the awards ceremony if you were lucky enough to bid on some sweet Fly Fishing merchandise.

As usual, the same ol' players made an appearance on the leader board for 2012. Here are the results from this years winners!
1st Place – Will Rice & Clint Packo (83 inches on 3 fish)
2nd Place – Luke Bever & Scott Demoss (71.25 inches on 3 fish)
3rd Place – Cody Muchow & Tyler Stewart (54 inches on 2 fish)

This is an amazing cause for an amazing waterway here in the Front Range Area. Props go out to the Denver Trout Unlimited again for all of their help. Thanks again to my Pal Corey (Denver TU Pres), Clem for organizing this Night out and all of the Board members for putting this event together. Can't wait to see what next year will bring!

Late Summer Spinney Reservoir Fishing

                                

Spinney Reservoir Fishing

What to do when my close buddy moves back to Colorado from Minnesota and is a Stillwater addict? Head to South Park and enjoy a nice day out on the water. Brian and I have spent a number of years fishing many favorite Colorado stillwaters and glad to have him back here again to fish this Fall season.

We got lucky and not only enjoyed a day without wind -well till 1pm that is, but also got to enjoy a nice feeding period where a number of breaks off and broken rod was in order.

Didn't take Brian long before he was into a few fish and glad to pose for the camera a few times!

Time to bring bigger tackle, a nice hook up turned into too much force for my 5wt Sage and snap goes the weezle!

Plenty of bugs out this morning and Trout were on the feed for hours. Hares ear patterns and Seal buggers were the choice foods.

Fish on again, hey what about me? Tough to take pictures of my fish so I guess I'll take a few more of Brian again.

Reel Escape Films Are Back Again!

Manhattan Fly - A Day Offshore from Reel Escape Films on Vimeo.

Nick is back again with another great video shot from a recent trip to New York chasing some Tuna.

This was shot one day 60 miles off Manhattan. The boat Manhattan Fly is owned and operated by Captain Chris Hessert, along with his mate Chris Clackner. They left Jersey City at 4am on a glassy Hudson River. After a couple hour boat ride on an also surprisingly smooth Atlantic ocean they trolled for tuna in the "Canyons" area. They were successful in hooking some nice Atlantic Bluefin tuna. They went 6 for 6 (five released one 35" kept) all on spreaders, trolled a fly on a 14 wt fly rod all day but no hits.
