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!

Very Large Bluegill?
May 28
My brother had a few minutes to burn before work today so he decided to hit a local lake and catch bluegill. After hookin’ a few of our warm water friends, he managed to get the attention of this rather large, urban variety, bluegill using his 9′ 5wt with 4x tippet, a strike indicator and a #14 flashback PT. So….just what exactly do they feed those fish in the OC?
Nice catch bro!

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!

More to come…
Yesterday I met up with James from PrimalFly.com for some L.A. River Fishing!
This being my second time to the river, I figured this would be a good opportunity for me to learn some new skillz.
James quickly showed me the ropes and explained, how to target these fish. Some cool things to know about these fish is that they tend to cruise in the shallows looking for food, they mouth the food(meaning they’ll suck it in and spit it out), so hooking one can be difficult if you can’t see it.
Watching James hook one of these thingz, had to be one of the neatest sights, the fight these fish give is awesome!

You’ve Got Mail!
Apr 10
When was the last time you anticipated getting something in the mail? I know I dread getting bills in the mail, but who doesn’t.
Today I received some new Fishing Flies in the mail, So I was stoked! not quite Christmas stoked, but stoked non the less.
So the deal with these Flies is they cost 1.00 a piece and with each order you get a free fly box and free shipping!
I purchased a Dry Fly starter kit that has 24 flies for the price of 22 bux, in addtion to that i also ordered 8 wet flies (going old skool), Making the Grand Total of flies received 32, for an overall cost of 30 bux shipped.
The last time I purchased flies at my local shop it cost me roughly 30 dollars and i only got 12 flies, OK maybe 14, but i still didn’t get a fly box with that purchase.
Bottom Line is I think I got a deal with this purchase and the flies look to be very good quality. Check out the pics I posted below this post.
Do you know of any smoking deals?
