Me and the dog headed to the Yampa River last week and made the long bike in along Stagecoach Reservoir. The fishing was good but it was even better to just be out of the house. The temp must have been around 45 and all sun. I arrived to find 2 other fisherman just getting there and we had the place to ourselves. I nymphed a little then switched over to dries for hte rest of the day after seeing a risers. I hooked a few on small midge patterns then spent the rest of my day messing around with an underwater video camera.

Only took one pic of a fish and it came out like this…

The only tough part about fishing the yampa this time of year is that you have to either hike or ride a bike in. They close the road for the Elk and even though the ride/walk in isn’t so bad the ride/walk out is mostly up hill and usually all muddy. By the time you get to the truck you are smoked.

Saturday was just as nice as Friday so Amos and I went to Vail to take a few turns. I was able to take this pic without crashing on our way over to Blue Sky Basin. That is Mount Holy Cross in the background.

The lodge I was at last September is looking for a guy or a gal to work as a fly fishing guide for them this summer. The lodge is located on the Yentna River about a 30 min float plane ride from Anchorage and they work on Lake Creek. If any one is intersted shoot an email to laterallinemedia@gmail.com and I’ll send you more info. VIDEO from last Sept at this location.

Prior to my departure from the great state of Maine a few of my very good friends went north to the forks for a little fishing/whitewater rafting trip and ended up getting deep into the sauce. Here is a little clip from a late night happening around the fire. Nobody here is having a good time at all. VIDEO.
