I have to leave for a while and by the time I get back, it’ll be too cold for me; hopefully, I’ll be back on the water in March. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Eagle, where we had planned on going had had the flow raised from 160cfs to 291cfs on Friday and Saturday. Experience has shown that when flows go up so much it puts the fish off. So we went to the Colorado. Windy as all get out, 20mph pretty steady, gust to about 30. The willow hatch was in full swing because of that. The willow hatch is when willow leaves cover the water. That all being said we did catch a few fish, nothing big 14-15" was the max. The Barr's didn't do squat, but the Charlie Craven soft hackle emerger got a few to hit and end up in the net and then back into the water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I don't mind telling how I did it. Essentially, the ones on the left end were done my old way- dubbing and the bars done with wrapping floss. Most of them, the ones I like the most, were done with mallard, teal and gadwall flank feathers for reticulation, wrapped with dubbing. I'm still working on the technique but when I'm totally happy with it, I'll make an SBS or maybe even a video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
