Colorado Backcountry: Fly Fishing Colorado River Headwaters - 07.08.2007

Submitted by jp on Sun, 07/08/2007 - 16:40

Alex and I went up to fish the Colorado River headwaters. Nymphed a couple of flashback beadheads most of the day and ended up getting 6. Mostly browns (couple really small ones), a nice brookie, and a pretty good lunker brown. Alex had 6 on the day as well, 2 nice size ones. At one point today we both had fish on at the same time, you could tell by the hooting and hollering from up and down stream. Alex was dry flying a mozzy and it was working well as we saw fish hitting bugs on the surface all day. Snagged the bigger brown from under an overhanging bank on a really nice bend in the river. Storms rolled in around 2pm so we hit the road. I will post up Alex's photos when I get them.
