On Sunday we went to the Poudre River in search of fish that that are willing to bite on a hook with some feather, fuzz, and thread attached. It was a gorgeous day, with the exception of the wind, which made casting a bit rough. I had heard that the fish were feeding on the Baetis pretty regularly and the various BWO patterns were doing well. Unfortunately, they call it fishing instead of catching for a reason. By definition a day on a river is a good day. What seemed like a couple of hours turned out to be 4.5 hours by time we got back to the car.
For those of you who haven't been, the Poudre River is phenomenally beautiful.
While going to the woods and catching no fish is not a disaster, let's face it, the point of fishing is to catch fish. Going to try a couple of more local spots on the St. Vrain and the Big T. on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully, I'll have some better luck.
Below there are are a few pics my wife took from the road.
