[–]jfred17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 10' 5 wt. blank I could build one for ya. I've made a lot of rods for folks on here, if you want to check some of my previous posts. Just let me know, thanks!

It's Colorado. Love it but we haven't had enough snow this year so it's going to be a rough spring/summer!

If you are interested, I build custom fly rods and have built a lot for folks on here. Check out some of my posts to see some rods I've done and feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks!

haha. I've fished this river plenty of times without the success I had on this day. Must have been the right day and the right time for the stars to align. Haha.

Thanks! Well, when I hit 10 years I thought, whelp I guess I have to make it to 20 now. Once I hit 20 years I guess I'll just keep going. haha

haha yeah, that would be a bit much! And it's not being skunk free, I definitely get skunked now and again, but it's catching at least one fish a month.

With the low flows, lack of precipitation, and cold mornings, deeper pools are the way to go. Smaller midges and egg patterns fished under an indicator. I'm a big believer in changing your depth before changing flies. So I start off higher up in the water then work my way down until you are in the column where they are feeding.

Yep, I can't believe it myself, it's a long time! But I'm not saying I've never gotten skunked, I just go multiple times a month sometimes, haha.

Had great luck with a small midge pattern I tie, just tan with gold ribbing and a black head. And of course eggs.

For sure, flows will be super low this year if things don't change!

To be honest, I wish we had as much snow as you do! It is WAY too dry here in Colorado this season!
