So on our last day in Colorado we decided to hit Blue River, This place was amazing!
The day started out at 56 degrees @ 7am and quickly hit 88 by 10am, water is super clear and very healthy, making for some good size fish!

Fly Fishing the Owens
May 1
De’ and I were able to get some fly fishing in on the Lower Owens, just outside of Bishop, only to be met with throngs of people, bitter cold winds and an unexpected reservoir spill which nearly ruined the fishing for both of us on Saturday, but not our spirits. Always chasing after the next adventure, we redoubled our efforts starting early in the wild trout section for a few unfruitful hours then headed up to the Upper Owens. What a contrast! Mild temperatures, gentle breezes, partly cloudy skies and easy wading made for a perfect closure to the trout opener weekend. It was nearly a non-stop bite fishing upstream in the seams using a #18 gray crystal zebra midge on 5x tippet. I caught and released 15 for the weekend. Here are a few pics for the masses. Enjoy!

Kamikaze Bishop Run II
Apr 21
If your interested in meeting up with us, We will be heading to Bishop for another round..
Check out the Urban Fly Outings tab.
Did some fly fishing with De’ earlier this week. What an amazing treasure we have right here in our back yard! Take good care of it and it will last for generations to come.
I caught and released seven beautiful wild rainbow trout using a size 18 olive zebra on 6x tippet with a small strike indicator. I was also successful on a small PT nymph. The takes were quick and subtle so I had to pay close attention and strike on anything that looked out of the ordinary. I basically fished the seams, ripples and runs trying my best to achieve a drag free drift. I saw a few takes on top but not enough to warrant tying on a dry fly.
We spent a better part of the morning up there and our only company was a few gold-diggers on the first mile of the river and an occasional group of hikers further up. I believe we were the only ones fishing on that water. Just the way I like it. The water is still plenty cold and waders are a must, in my opinion. It’ll be a little while till we can start to wet wade again. Here’s a few pics for ya. I took ‘em with my new Pentax Optio W60. It’s waterproof and IMHO, fly fishing approved! Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers!
