Spring fishing has been very good. Below is a trip report directly from one of our clients. We have great reservoir levels and the snow pack looks pretty good. Looks like we should have a very good season!
Testimonial: Best day of fishing EVER! My buddy Rusty and I had an amazing day on the South Platte, just above Spinney Reservoir. The Rainbows were active, and within 15 minutes of wetting my line, I was hooked into a 20 inch lunker. That was just the start of what we just knew would be a great day to come. Between the two of us, we must have landed at least 40 fish total. Besides those netted successfully, there were quite a few that managed to get away, several of which would qualify as "fish tales" if someone else were telling the story to me. I've a feeling I'll be seeing 'em again, so until next time...
Our guide Fred definitely showed us a new trick or two, and we probably learned more in one day than we had in any previous season. His knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm helped make the day one to remember, and one we'll be telling folks about for some time to come.
Just wanted to say thanks to Colorado Trout Hunters for making this possible, and thanks to Fred for helping to make it memorable. -M. Munn, Broomfield CO
