Spring fly fishing has been pretty amazing

 As the weather is still deciding to have Spring here in Colorado, it has been really enjoyable exploring new rivers and learning the hatches.  I would like to share of some of the great catches.  I have been fishing the rivers and creeks as they awake from the long winter, cold sleep. 

Deckers, or the South Platte River, is certainly a favorite for many, and I can appreciate this so much.

The Eagle River, where this warrior gorgeous cutbow wears scars on its spine from surviving being of prey.

The browns at the Eagle will challenge you with every penny you got for how powerful they are.  They put up a remarkable fight unlike some of the other rivers I have fished.

I found me some hungry rainbows in the Eagle in the tainted runoff waters.

Yampa River, an incredible fishery that has my heart for rainbows, browns, cutbows, brookies, mountain whitefish.

Clear Creek, one of my favorite little creeks to catch rainbows, browns, cutthroat, and brookies.

Clear Creek can offer some magnificent places where these live.  The canyon takes my breath away with these fun trout.


No doubt, a very fishy Spring.  I am loving it, and I am looking forward to fishing with friends and family in the days ahead.

Sincerely,

Cat in the Hat
