Colorado River Monsters (fishing)

I saw the tasmanian devils at cabelas last weekend and almost bought on cause they looked wild. Happy to see they actually work! Nice Fish!

 

So Tomahawk is like the six flags for fly fishermen who are dragging their net in the water?

 

The trout hammer those things. I was skeptical at first since it's just a dumb little piece of plastic that looks like nothing...haha.

 

I might have to pick one up the next time i am at the adult toy store (bass pro and cabelas)

 

Have you heard of the Mile High 25? Two days to catch 25 different species on the fly!

 

Yep, and Only place I am willing to share in that area (well Dream Stream is ahh, very crowded to). If you don't mind smaller trout, there is an SWA up by Montgomery Reservoir with some nice Braids/ beaver ponds to fish.

 

The "forked" tail is a dead giveaway. Brookies are chars, and have a straight edge on the tail fin. True trout, like browns, have a forked tail fin.

 

Good point! I will remember this in the future

 

This is good info! I will see what i can do in the area and report back

 

Sorry Char & Trout are both 2 seperate lines of the Salmon (Salmonidae) Family.

 

Yeah the fly shop explained that to me while i was there. This is my first season trout fishing so a lot to learn

 

Why are you saying sorry? A Brook "trout" is not a true trout. You're saying the same thing I am, basically.

 

Got skunked by boiling bass tonight.. they didnt like the jerkbaits, spinners, frogs (there were lillypads and cattails), or senkos. Frustrating but it seems i need to get a popper as my old one was thrashed or some flukes to try next time.

What do you guys used for boiling bass on pressured lakes?

Edit: went back during the heat of the day today with the thought that the heat will keep them in the cover and my texas senko would be more effective.. no bueno. Due to the high pressure fishing, these bass are smarter than most americans. Looks like ill be buying some dragonfly dry flies and try to match the hatch.

 

SMALL WATERS, SMALL FLY RODS, BIG PLACES

Some of you asked about finding places to fish, you can subscribe to their newsletter than has this stuff as well.

 

But you won't catch anything unless you use one of the $700-$800 rods they recommend.

 

My buddy works there, they’re too expensive for me though

 

I could never work at a fly shop, I'd never make a paycheck. I'd owe them money.

 

I have a Winston. Goes well with my Ross reel.



I use to fish exclusively with a cheaper Redington and make fun of those guys and their over-priced gear.




Where did I loose my way?

 

I impulsively bought a Ross reel a couple years ago. My goal was to own a Colorado made outfit. But I still haven't been able to bring myself to spend that much on the Scott I want.

 

Sage owns Reddington, it was their "cheap" brand. I also have a couple of 2nd hand Winston's, thank god for ebay estate sales.
