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!

I had a few hours to play hooky today so I went back down to that honey hole in the OC with the “golden trout”. Well they were all there with their tails in the air but they were considerably pickier today. I must have snagged at least ten of ‘em just trying to put the fly in front of their face. LoLz. Finally got one to take and it was well worth the price of admission! This sucker took off so fast it burned my fingers on the fly line and then knocked my thumb with the reel handle. ARGH! When he finally slowed down enough, trying to pull on him was like trying to lift an anchor with my fly rod. I’ve never seen my rod do that. Dang! I was cringing the whole time think it was gonna break on me. HA! The only way I could gain some ground this sucker was to hop in the river and start making my way toward him. I took up about 30′ of line splashing around in there (sure felt good, it was freakin’ hot today) and then we just sat there playing tug-o-war for a couple of minutes!! He finally relented and I was able to slowly bring him home. Here’s the prize. He was a little smaller than the last but he had way more kick! Got the burn marks and bruises to prove it! WHAT A FIGHT! Thank you! MOAR!!!!!!
I was looking at my copy of Fly Fish America, I ran across a clothing comany, based out of Italy.
I can’t say much for the company other than they are a bunch of Fishing Enthusiast, that seem to have found a niche, with some cool gear!

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!

Santa Ana River
May 24
Did some scouting ’round the Santa Ana River in Yorba Linda. The water was murky and I didn’t see any fish (it was late in the evening) but it looks rather promising.
