Colorado River Monsters (fishing)

I dont think this is on the taylor but here are some pics from my Taylor trip a few weeks ago... i was able to net the biggest brown we saw.. which was no where near this monster. ha Fishing is still good.. Picky but good!

 

Beautiful Fish!!

 

Love the fish pics boys! Keep them coming!


Also - would anyone be down for a TW Tight Lines Meetup on the river? Fish, beer, Food etc

 

I'm down

 

most def

 

id be interested depending on when and where

 

If you had to pick a place, where would you chose?

I am thinking the DS or Deckers or maybe an alpine lake for secludedness.

 

if i had to pick id say deckers or just north east of there. I'm down in springs and mostly fish in pueblo during the winter. im not too familiar with any alpine lakes and the few ive been to i haven't had any luck.

im guessing deckers is about the same distance for most people from springs and denver

 

My Fly fishing skills suck - just started to learn this past summer/fall after spin fishing for 60 plus years. Some time down the road I would appreciate some advice to sharpen my skills and selection of flies. As for now - I am hoping next spring as there is no way I would attempt now just 3 weeks in from my full knee replacement. Love the pics.

 

Most are refreezing rn but i can show you the tricks for alpines next year! I love them

 

Ill probably try to set something up next spring too and you should def come! Might be able to pick up a few tricks from other degenerate anglers on here!

Good luck with the knee!

 

Just set it up now

 

Anyone need a gear bag? I have a Fishpond Cimarron Wader Duffel that i'd be willing to let go. Its in great condition and i love it but doesnt fit in my T4R roof box so.. looking to clean out the gear closet.

Price: $145 seems fair for you guys.

FYI - we should take advantage of this to meetup with the TW and greater community to cleanup the waters and fish.

We can't wait to see you on the 26th for some good times on the water!

 

I started fishing a "river" for the first time this week. Everything else has been a "creek". I may have picked a bad time to check out the Deckers area stretch of SPR since the flows were very low for CPW to do their survey. But, I managed to get one to the net... and while using a two-fly rig which may be a first for me (usually I end up with a bird's nest, cut it free, and go back to one fly). This is such a pretty area.

 

Well boys, i dun did it. Caught me an 17” smallie on 4wt today!


Here are bonus pics of other catches from today

 

very pretty area!! Roll casting instead of back casting should help prevent the birds nest.

 

very nice!

 

Did you ever share which river this is?

 

Got in a little Thanksgiving fishing. Not too much action but landed a couple.




And while I'm waiting for my 2nd repair on my orvis, I broke my Winston yesterday. I guess we'll see how their warranty is.
