Skinny water but willing fish. No RGCTs 🙁

Skinny water but willing fish. No RGCTs 🙁

I’ve been waiting for this lake to thaw. Going to be near it next week. Has anyone had reliable fishing with ice still on the lake? Or am I better off waiting till September. In Colorado.

Great day. Had a couple big ones on but lost them. This river is passed over for another more famous river. Second time I’ve fished it in year.

Had Tuesday and Wednesday off. I considered running from Albuquerque to Conejos to find salmonflies. I tied a bunch of flies two years ago for Madison river but missed it by a week.

Lo and behold I found a Salmonfly in a willow along with others. It was spectacular. The minute it hit the water the trout were chasing it. Sometimes multiple browns. I cut the dropper because it was not gaining any attention at all.

Btw. The fly with white wing. That’s some foam that was packing material in a box.

Great show. Opened with handshake drugs.
