I wasnt on the river by sunup, but I was darn close.
As expected the fish were a tad sluggish. This part of the Roaring Fork River is about 2 miles down stream from Aspen Colorado. We are having a warm Spring this year, and the temps at this elevation were hovering at freezing. Warm for the time of year, but still cold.
I managed 8 or 9 from this section. The first was this little Bow.
The rest were Browns out of this section. A bit bigger than the Bow, but not by much.
This section goes on for about 2 miles. I was on a time line and knew if I was going to fish the middle river where I could have a chance at a few bruisers, I would have to leave now. So, as the sun started to shed it's light on the upper river, I jumped in my truck and left.
A fifteen minute drive downstream and I was back in business
It didnt take long and I was into Browns again.
I caught a tremendous amount of fish. Most were small in the 10 to 14 inch range. I did manage a Bow that went just under 20 inches, but she did not take a Flymph. She nailed a Baetis Nymph. I did not get a pic of her, or a very large Whitefish.
The sun was approaching noon and I knew I had to leave. Three weeks is a long time between trips. I needed this one.
The Partridge and Peacock is a better pattern than I remembered. I may be wrong but I believe all but a couple fish that took flymphs, took the Partridge and Peacock. Especially in Brown Partridge!
Yep, I needed today.
Congratulations.
