Almost Summer

June 13, 2016

Good morning to you from Decker’s!! It’s a beautiful late spring morning up here in the foothills.  Low humidity, perfect temperatures at 64 degrees.  Looks like it’s only going to be about 70 today. The river is up a little higher, coming out of the Dam at 500(cfs) , so it’s probably about 460-480 around Decker’s bridge.  The weekend crowds are gone and I saw a few fish taken on my walk this morning. Spoke with a regular Angler I see on the river daily and he tells me he’s been “Going Deep” all weekend with a “Pat’s Rubber Legs” trailing a Chocolate Thunder” Going out myself this afternoon/evening, so I’ll let you know what’s working for me. As I take my morning walk around Decker’s each day, I always have an interesting conversation or two with other anglers, photographers, hikers, campers, and well, you get it!! Yesterday I spoke with a Parks and Wildlife Officer and he asked me to pass along this, “Please stop picking up the baby deer, they are fine” I will try to pass along information like this at the request of different forest services agencies, to help inform residents and tourists of the South Platte River Valley of the hazards and consequences of interfering with wildlife in it’s natural habitat. Have a great day, and take a kid fishing!![Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”12″ gal_title=”june 13th blog pics”]
