First Trip of 2016
High, off-colored water...flood ravaged river accesses...winter storms moving into the area...sounds like the perfect conditions to sneak in the first trip of 2016!
That's just one of the reasons I like the fishing here in the Ozarks...the winters are mild enough to allow good fishing almost all year long. I'm still jealous of your Colorado opportunities though Howard!
Awesome! I wish our streamer fishing was that productive in the winter.
ReplyDeleteOur streamer fishing actually gets better this time of year. Higher water levels and less people make it more conducive to throwing big flies.
DeleteLooks like those sunny streamers were just what those fish were looking for.
ReplyDeleteYellow was the hot color on thus weekend for sure Jim. Its always in my top 2 choices regardless of conditions.
DeleteI can't believe you are catch fish those size in the middle of winter.

DeleteI agree with Howard. Nice catch for winter fishing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm still contemplating a Winter trip back up to your part of the country. I just can't get those steelhead out of my head.
Deletecheck in with the weather. too much snow melt and ice doesn't make for a fun day.
DeleteFantastic!! Those are some extremely organized fly boxes. I wish mine looked 1/4 of that organized. haha
ReplyDeleteStreamer season is just getting started...give me a few more trips and they'll be half empty and disorganized!!
