Fall Fun!

[DUBBN]

Had a blast on the Roaring Fork. The day started out slow (7:30 AM). Managed a fish here and there until about 2:00 PM. Then the fishing turned on. Up until then I caught maybe 3 fish. One was a reall pretty CutBow.



After 2:00 the Muskrat size 14 and the PT Soft Hackle size 18 kicked in gear.
I caught quite a few Bows in the 12 to 14 inch range.



They are alot of fun, but the past month has been about numbers of smaller fish, and I was really trying (Hoping) for larger ones.
I hooked 4 Bows in the 19 to 22 inch range and landed 2. They are very fat and have some serious shoulders. Here is a pic of the 19 incher. I am guessing him at weighing maybe 3lbs. I have scales in my net and forgot to weigh any of the fish.

My buddy took the pic of a 23 incher that I caught. I will post it tomorrow if he sends it to me.

Had a GREAT day.

"Hahaha I fish for fish not flies....they're easier to get on the hook (hysterical laughter)"

This has been the typical trout for the last month.


This was the last fish of the day


I have no idea what the stuff on my lip was in that last pic, but my wife said it was still there when I got home! I did not get a welcome kiss hello.

Nice post, Wayne. Wish I could join you on these jaunts!

I do too!!!

I had my shot to fish with Misa and Mark, but my work schedule interfered with real life. There are many people on this forum that I would love to share my little corner of the world with.

Just a side note. This is the latest in the year that I can remember witout seeing the October Caddis. This is my favorite hatch as the trout attack the flys violently. Hope I see some before Winter sets in.

As a brook trout fanatic back East, three-quarters of my fly box is "orange." Any chance you might provide the recipe for that last one?
