Wow!

That’s all I can say about the fishing action today! But, let’s first take a look at the current conditions, here on the South Platte River, Decker’s Colorado. We’ve seen two drops in the flow over the last three days. Right now in Trumbull, we’ve got a flow of 179cfs! Down quite a bit since just the other day’s flow of over 300! The weather is great, and the fishing tomorrow should be fantastic! The weather looks great for the weekend, and the fish have really been active the last few days. Today was pretty much a repeat of yesterday, but the dry-fly action wasn’t as strong.  I got out on the river at about noon, but my buddy had already netted about a dozen fish prior to my arrival. The bug of the day today was the brown RS-2, trailing behind a Stone Fly and Copper John.  Switching back between the nyphing pole and dry-fly rig proved to be the key in getting on the rise as it occurred, while regularly pulling fish with the nymph rig between the hatches. Most fish we caught today were caught with the aforementioned nymph rig, but I did manage to take one nice brown trout on the BWO.  With the weather forecast looking as it does, expect a few more people on the river then usual, but head downstream for a little more room. Today’s picture gallery is a collection of shots from today. That’s all for now folks! Hope to see you on the river this weekend.
