Spring is here

The fishing got off to a little faster start for the March 1 opener than in the last several years. The last couple of years there has still been some ice on Lenore and this year it was long gone. We had reports and saw pictures of some very big fish. If you are there when the pods of fish come into the shallows the fishing can be nothing short of spectacular. If the pods are not there you are in for a wait untill they do. The flies of choice are chironomids but bugger and leech paterns will take fish now and then.
Rocky Ford has been very good at times. The fish are starting to look up a little bit and you can take them on dries. The mayflies are starting to hatch and that is a lot of fun. We have some killer dries and emergers for these hatches.
Quail lake has been fishing well and isn't getting the pressure that Lenice is getting. The Double Dipper chironomid is a good choice for a start but you should have several different sizes and colors as the fish at Quail can be very selective.
Coffee Pot Lake has been very good as well and deserves a look. It is a very rich lake and has some of the best hatches of chironomids that I have ever seen.
Dry Falls opens on the first of April and I expect it to fish well this spring.
Back To The Wall (Formaly Isaaks )opens its season this week end and it is going to be off the charts. We test fished last weekend and the fish were big, real big. It is going to be a great season and I'm really excited about it. There are still some spots left so if you want to fish it this season call me and book now before they are gone.

March 1 Opener

Well it is here. It has been long in coming this year because of the warm weather we have had for the last several weeks. The ice is off all the lakes that opened the first of march. Most have finished turning over and the are in good shape. The water is still cold but not near as cold as a normal year. The hatches are in progress and the fishing will get better by the day. Rocky Ford continues to fish very well a long with several of the other lakes in ther area. We are just starting to get reports and will be on the water soon and hope to have good news on our results. This is a very exciting time of year and things happen fast so watch here or call or stop in for  last minute updates on what is fishing well.
