I'm back at work now and after an amazing Fall hunting season I am looking forward to some time back in the office. The guys have been running float trips on the Lower Colorado and the Roaring Fork all month and are having fairly good success. Mostly deep nymphing and streamers from the boat. We will continue to run guided float fishing trips all winter on the lower Colorado.
We are preparing for the holiday season and the store is loaded with new products from Cloud Veil, Sage, Ross, ExOfficio, Woolrich, and many more.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas will be here before you know it. If you are having trouble deciding what to get the fly fisherman in your life try a gift certificate.

See you out there!

FALL FLY FISHING REMAINS EXCELLENT!


The weather remains excelent and not very cold at all. The fishing on the local rivers is excellent. The Brown trout are spawning in the local rivers and the bite is on. The Eagle River is at great levels and this is the time of year to be fishing the lower river with nymphs and streamers. the Gypsum area is producing some great fish. The Colorado is at excellent levels for floating. The sections below Glenwood are fishing well on streamers and nymphing the big holes. These sections will fish well all winter and actually fish better at lower levels but we will take the great flows and nice water. The Blue has come back up to over 400 CFS and you can get a few days in while the weather is nice. You might find some of the bigger Browns active as well in the Blue and as always the huge Rainbows are always willing to crush your nymph rig. Fall just keeps hanging on and we have been running guided float trips daily and are enjoying the extended play! Stop by the shop in the next few weeks as all of the Christmas goodies are dropping in on a daily basis. We will have the new rods from both Scott and Sage in stock for Christmas.

See you on the water!

PS The quest for the huge Mule Deer starts on Saturday.
