Jason and I fished the lower Eagle and Brush Creek Sunday. Pretty slow Jason landed a couple on each piece of water but they fit in the palm of his hand. Although they did come on my own creation called the red ass baboon (we collectively decided). It was beautiful day so it didnt matter much how the fishing was. Both of these rivers are very tempermental. One day it is on fire the next you can’t find them with dynamite. So it goes. Here are a few shots.

Even though it was the first time we had seen the sun in a few days the ice was still hindering our progress

Why Not?

Some pictures from the Frying Pan that we have taken over the month. Weather has been cold but the fishing has been good. Tiny midges red, black and grey. Mysis and eggs have been good lead flies.

Preparing for the next day.

John Collins rips it up tying the J.C Electric Caddis Larva. If you have ever picked up one of those twiggy looking things in the river and watched the caddis come out if its case. This fly looks just like it. Rise form studios updates there tying segment once to twice a month. Check it out and see whos tying what.

Sitting on the couch watching it snow dreading the walk to my truck in the negative degree weather I am wishing for some warm water. I went over to yelllow dog fly fishing to see what my options were. The reel baja looked nice and a fairly cheap ticket from Denver. Lets see if I can get this one by the old lady.
