Going to spend a week in the mountains of Colorado starting this weekend. Starting on the headwaters of the Rio Grande for a few days then headed up to the Gunnison area to fish the Gunnison and some higher elevation creeks and beaver ponds for the rest of the week. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures. This is going to be the longest 4 day work week in history!
I have been tieing flys and fly fishing for 40 years. Hung up all my spining rods and now go after everything with fly rods. I use a fishing kayak on lakes and I wade streams and rivers here in the mountains of NC. Last time I fished a lake in Tenn I caught and released 29 trout including a 18 inch brown. Went back the next day and used the same set up and got skunked. Smoked a good cigar though.
Spent the day in my fishing kayak on a large lake in these parts called Lake James.i took my 7 weight flyrod thought i would get into some smallmouth or large carp.I ended up putting 6x tippet and fishing dry flys for bluegills. There was a minor hatch coming off, mayflys that were gray about size 16. Caught a bunch, let them go, and smoked a AJ freshrolled toro. Life is good.
