Luke Bryan Fly Fishing Out West

For those who know country music the name is a given, for those who don't check out a few of his songs and I guarantee you'll like it!

I thought you might enjoy this outtake from a guy that I grew up with in the same hometown. Luke loves to fish and fingers crossed I get a call from him when he makes back out this way in August to play in Denver. Luke's come a long way since our days in South Georgia and his sing writer Dallas Davidson whom I went to high school with. Looking forward to a few more fishing videos by Luke this Summer and his concert! Checkout Jay Clementi as well who fishes with Luke a bunch and besides also being a songwriter, he guides in some outstanding water in Tennessee.

Weather Forecasting With Weatherspark....Use This When Out Fishing This Summer!

Check The Forecast 1st

Weatherspark is an impressive collection of weather data, graphs, and tools that I've been using for sometime now and does everything one needs when headed out to an area for fishing or a weekend of fun. I know whether it's in South Park or heading out Lake fishing (my fav this time of year) one better have a detailed report on how the weather, as well as the pontoon hatch, is going if I want to have a good trip.

WeatherSpark is a new type of weather website, with interactive weather graphs that allow you to pan and zoom through the entire history of any weather station on earth. Get multiple forecasts for the current location, overlaid on records and averages to put it all in context.


Sorry, it's hard to talk weather in Colorado, let alone how our Summer will go without a detailed map showcasing how much snow our state has gotten this year. Get ready for some major runoff fellow fisherman!

Front Range Denver Warmwater Grand Slam Day!

All In A Days Work

Okay so I got a Denver area Warmwater Grand Slam depending on who you ask! All but a Walleye I suppose. A few weeks ago I set out one Tuesday morning to catch a few Pike before work. After having success with a few fish, the ball kept rolling and I was a little late to say the least!


Started the morning off fishing with Jake and Nick, they both got into some nice Pike but both had to leave for work so I stayed a bit longer.



With a few decent Pike I moved over to another local pond close by to see what else I could catch on a fly. 1st a Crappie, than a bluegill and finally a Bass! After this I thought how interesting it might be if I caught a few more seeing how catching Pike doesn't happen everyday and to catch a few species, -including a Carp, could become a true challenge.


Mammoth Largemouth Bass


After heading into work for a few hours I had to get back out to my honey hole to see if I could keep this challenge alive. Luckily after 30 minutes I found a few feeders, had a Golden Bone landed and with a little time to spare between clients, I was off to Golden to finish up with a Trout on Clear Creek!



I drove up the canyon to another little hotspot I take people to and within 15 minutes I finished my day with a Front Range area Grand Slam..my 1st! Better yet I spent I think maybe 4 hours total, who knows what would have happened and what I could have kept catching if I would have had a full day!

Both Walleye & Catfish escaped me, than again I wasn't really planning on trying to catch them on a fly nor do I want to normally. Due to the fact that most people don't target these and one rarely has a chance to catch on a fly I'll let these pass for now.

Species Caught today:
Largemouth Bass (might have gone for smally's but was early in the season)
Pike
Common Carp
Bluegill
Crappie
Brown Trout

Denver Water Turns on Floodgates To My Garage Sale!

Thanks Denver Water...For Nothing!

So I decided to clean out a few things in my basement, garage, office etc... and what better weekend to do it seeing how it was to break in weather from 6 straight days of Thunderstorms. One problem, 5 minutes after my Sale begins they open up the pipes in my neighborhood and all hell broke loose!

Nothing like a river outside my house to entice Garage sale buyers! Thanks to my Pontoon boat for bringing in the people curious as to what that was...
