As I leaned back and watched the Broncos dismantle the Ravens last night, I remembered what makes this time of year so special......Yeah football is great, but its Fall my peeps!<br />
<br />
By far, Fall is our favorite season in Southern CO. Most likely because many of us think the world revolves around Brown Trout.....Wait it doesn't?! Fall is the time where we can go throw big flies and get away with it....Its the time of crisp cool mornings and beautiful colors.......Man are we fortunate to live in a great place!<br />
<br />
So get out and get your fish on this fall!Royal Gorge Anglershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04143443749572904125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16592366.post-87738702148454914282013-05-09T13:17:00.002-06:002013-05-09T13:17:41.717-06:00Falling in Love with the Arki<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Great little article by Scott Willoughby of the Denver Post. I think most of us can relate to this, as it truly is hard not to fall in love with the Arki. Gonna be some serious fishing in the next 2 weeks before the initial stages of runoff.......hope to see many of you in the flyshop and on the river!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok folks, I am so ready for what is to come in the next month or so! It is going to be a huge Spring on the Arkansas this year....and Stoneflies are going to kick it off in a big way!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is unbelievable, but we are already seeing fish really start to key and feed heavily on Stoneflies, even in Bighorn Canyon. What Can this mean? Every year the Stoneflies in the Ark molt around the first week of March. <span style="line-height: 16px;">Most species of stoneflies molt 20 to 30 times in their life. When they molt they turn a pale color and have much softer skin, which makes for easier digestion for the fish, which also makes them a much more attractive target.....</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 16px;">Here it is the 2nd week of February and we are already seeing this happen. Now, don't get me wrong..... the huge swing in productivity will still take a bit of time, but, we expect to see fish "mowing (destroying stoneflies, and or anything else that gets in their path)" before the last week of February. Why so early? We have been warmer than average. Although our long term forecast for this month and March predicts good precipitation in the mountains (which we need), it predicts warm temperatures in the Canon City area.....ba'da'boom....ba'da'bing.....early Stonefly Molt and early great fishing! We have already seen some great days, but spread out. Once the stonefly molt is full swing, every day can be a banner day on this river. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">What else makes us excited? Last year the DOW planted a giant number of Salmonfly Nymphs in our river....thats right, the big boys! We even got to see a few localized hatches, and the fish went ape-s**t! This year is going to be epic, we will see a large number of this planted nymphs hatch this year (mid-june) during our standard stonefly hatch. We can't wait! These big boys will also play a big part in the stonefly molt, come check out some of our new local patterns to imitate those big boys!</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">So, get your gear ready folks, cuz the stonefly molt is upon us, and then follows our prolific BWO season, and then the Caddis Hatch.......If I were you I would just buy a second house on the Arkansas, because its going to be off the hook (actually on would be better).......</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span></span><br />

Yep, Brown Trout in the Arki are in pre-spawn behavior no doubt. Fish are eating pretty much anything you put in front of them. Pictured above are a nice pair taken on the classic 20-Incher. Still this pattern has to be one of the best stonefly imitations for freestone rivers!Royal Gorge Anglershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04143443749572904125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16592366.post-55349217297286752122012-09-14T15:02:00.001-06:002012-09-14T15:02:56.207-06:00How to work it.....a streamer retrieve guide!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Streamers truly are one of the most productive techniques in the fall. Typically Brown Trout are starting to phase into what we term "pre-spawn" behavior, I time period where this fish are extremely territorial and aggressive and operate in chase mode. This is why we really focus on streamers this time of year. The most typical question I receive in the flyshop...."How do I fish a streamer?" Pretty complex question, but the retrieve is the key to success. Generally this time of year we like an extremely rapid retrieve with even a little rod tip movement. Check out the above demo for some great insight to different retrieve techniques, this will give you a great leg up!Royal Gorge Anglershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04143443749572904125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16592366.post-50220820946129656032012-08-28T10:30:00.000-06:002012-08-28T10:33:33.144-06:00Tying Epicness this Sunday!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Film Critic is a pretty well known pattern. Starting as a great Drake pattern for the Rio Grande, Roaring Fork and Frying Pan....this pattern has taken the Southern Rockies by storm. But what is the best of the Film Critics you may ask? THE PALE MORNING DUN. I just started tying and fishing this specific rendition of the well known crushing pattern, and WOW, very impressed. So, stop in your local flyshop and ask for the Film Critic PMD in a #16-18, you will not be disappointed!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white;">CEO Casey Sheahan’s message was simple: Companies can do right by the environment and society and still turn a profit.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white;">"Because Patagonia wants to be in business for a good long time — and leave a world inhabitable for our kids — we want to do the opposite of every other business today. We ask you to buy less and to reflect before you spend a dime on this jacket or anything else." Sheahan’s talk was littered with examples of Patagonia’s investment in conservation. Their headquarters parking lot is covered with solar panels; they support efforts to restore the desiccated Colorado River Delta here close to home; they initiated footprint measurement of all of their products to measure overall impact of a product on the environment; just a small few examples of the millions of dollars the company spends on reinforcing environmental pro activism...... </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white;">So the message should be simple, know about the manufacturers of the products you are buying at every purchase level and what your dollars spent are going to. The fact is companies like Patagonia are few and far between, but your support to them goes much further than that company's bottom line, it goes to things far more important that we enjoy every day!</span></div>

As springtime comes full swing in the Rockies, I look forward to fishing in the Fall this week. Thursday morning I depart on a 7500 mile trip to where its a bit cooler and more like October @ the 38th Parallel South.<br />
Hosting 2 weeks in Argentina during their late fall is a joy for me. I have always been and will always be a lover of extremely large flies, and the fishing in Argentina this time of year truly requires them.....4" Double Bunnies, Triple Hinged Articulates, and Mice the size of your hand; that is what my box will consist of.....<br />
Our first stop is Logo El Strobel (Jurassic Lake) in search of Rainbow Trout tipping the 25+ lb mark. This year we are there to focus on pulling mice for the camera......in hopes to find a willing vermin crushing machine! With a dabble of the Barrancosa River (A river half the size of the dream stream with 10 lb AVG. Trout), and the Encanadas Lagoons, we will have toured the best the Santa Cruz Province has to offer in the fall. From there I will move up to the Nahuel Hupai National Park region with a group of my best clients to enjoy a week of hunting giant lake run browns, brookies and sea run browns further south.<br />
As spring continues to fish off the chart here, I hope for the best Fall in South America my clients and I have experienced!<br />
<br />
Join us next November for a series of great host weeks throughout the Patagonia region of Argentina.....<br />

If you live within a 8 hr. radius of 58th and I-25, Denver, you need to be at the Fly Fishing Show January 6, 7, and 8th. If you want to learn anything about this sport in general, tying, global angling destination, and or local angling destinations; you will find it at this show! All major manufacturers, and fly shops will be there. The stars and celebrities of this industry will be there, and you get the chance to pick their brain! YOU WON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO BLARING DUCK, GOOSE AND ELK CALLS, OR FILTER THROUGH GARAGE SALES AND FLYING RODENTS. There will even be a fly fishing film tour party on the night of Friday the 6th (which we have tickets for on sale for at the flyshop $10/ each)........<br />
<br />
As an added benefit our guide service will be offering 10% off for all guide trips pre-booked at the show.....Look for our 20 ft booth at the show entrance......<br />
<br />
Plain and simple, this is the only Fly Fishing Show in Colorado...... you need to show up, and learn how to step your game up for next season!<br />

Lets understand one thing clearly...."the most important thing in flyfishing is the process more than the product." In other words, enjoy the Before, After, and In Between! Enjoy the tying sessions before the big trip, enjoy the gear selection, enjoy the beer selection, enjoy the music you crank on the road, and yes enjoy the fishing; but, understand the great combination of things that make this the best sport on earth!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I want to focus on one of those criteria, the tunes......</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most times for me and my buddies, it comes in phases; starting softer, getting much louder. Bluegrass to heavy medal; coffee to pounding Rockstars and Red Bulls......However there is one CD out there I feel every angler can throw down on their playlist, and that is the tunes from Ben Winship and David Thompson. These guys can straight throw down some fishing lyrics, especially on their newest album, properly titled, <i>Fishing Music II.</i> Bluegrass has its place in every river trip playlist, and this one just kicks it up a notch into our special niche. So before you blast the Beastie Boys or Pepper throw a little of this through the deck........</div>Royal Gorge Anglershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04143443749572904125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16592366.post-51167074195231100162011-12-12T08:47:00.000-07:002011-12-12T08:54:50.687-07:00Christmas Celebration at Royal Gorge Anglers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Autumn is the season of the Brown Trout in Colorado. These fish are pre-spawn in most of our major watersheds and extremely aggressive and territorial. This is the best and sometimes only time to get a shot at a Brown Trout of a lifetime on many of our local rivers. Focus on streamers imitating smaller trout, and or more visible nymphs for best success. My number one suggestion, tie your patterns on a strong hook........<br />

These bigger fish move and feed nocturnally, and thus we tend to target the larger predatory fish at night. Unfortunately this makes it a bit more technical on the angler, and can get quite frigid, however the rewards can be quite amazing!<br />

Bout that time people.....You know what I'm talking about!<br />
<br />
The time period where we carry only 2x....<br />
The time period our tying desk looks like someone murdered a rabbit....<br />
The time period where hook sizes are in the low single digits....<br />
The time period where you gotta tape down your clients' ears, and your own.....<br />
The time period where the hook-sets will take the rod out of your hand....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Finally, its Fall Time and most importantly STREAMER TIME in the Rockies!<br />
<br />
As the Browns on the Arkansas and many rivers around the state begin to enter the Pre-spawn stage, my go to is always a streamer. Tan/ Ginger/ Olive/ and Brown, all day long. Long down stream presentations tight against deep banks, connect with the fly and put on a couple of hard strips!<br />
<br />
After coming back from Alaska, I don't even have to put away my streamer rods! I'm siked!<br />
<br />
Call us at the fly shop for the hot streamers of the week!<br />
<br />
Get out there, and get ready for the rail!<br />
