Lots of people are wondering if we’ll see a Green Drake hatch up at the Taylor River C&R stretch. I saw a few yesterday and got one fish on a Drake pattern, but there really hasn’t been a major hatch of that insect yet. The PMD hatch continues, and it…
Dennis and I had the opportunity to fish the Taylor River at Crystal Creek today. It was cold and wet/rainy, and a perfect day to chase big fish with streamers. We also caught a lot of fish on dry flies when the PMDs hatched. It was an incredible day.
It rained and hailed, and it got pretty cold up at the C&R today. But it fished great. I landed over 20 fish on dry flies in about 3 hours this afternoon, including this nice fat cutbow below. I wasn’t real happy about turning 55 today, but I sort of…
Had a really fun day on the Gunnison River Ranch today fishing with Kate and Seth in the morning and Tom and Joanie in the afternoon. Everyone did well and caught some nice fish. Photos below are Kate and Seth with some nice brown trout. Great job!
Julie had some fun chasing big fish up at the Taylor River C&R today for the first time. She landed this nice 20-inch rainbow early on and then mastered the wiggle-set later while dry fly fishing. Joking aside, she is really doing great with the fly rod lately. I was…
Dry fly fishing on the Taylor River has been really good lately. There has been a good mix of PMDs, BWOs, caddis, and midges. I got into some nice fish yesterday afternoon after my client trip, including this fat 20-inch cutbow which I caught on a size 22 emerger. It’s…
Some rain and cloud cover got some bugs hatching and fish feeding at the C&R this afternoon. The trout were fussy off and on, but once you got the right fly and a good drift, you would get some takes.
The C&R stretch of the Taylor River has been fishing pretty well lately. When the PMDs hatch and there is some cloud cover, we’ve had great dry fly fishing there. Yesterday was a tougher day, but Chris and I managed to get some fish. Chris got this nice rainbow here…
Had a fun day with Terry and Julie today on the Gunnison River. Fishing was pretty slow, but we found some fish. Julie is really casting and mending line well, and she’s getting some good fish each time out like this nice brown trout below.
Mike did well with both nymphs and dry flies today on the ERA Club water. We had some really slow periods, but he managed to get fish here and there throughout the day. This pretty brown trout took a dry fly right after lunch.
