9-24/27/29-2012 Boulder Creek

Well this was kind of the last hoorah for the summer as far as guiding goes. It is already winding down and it will only get slower from here. I would love to have taken clients somewhere else this week but the park is slow, a half day trip to the Big Thompson isn't the most ideal, and quite frankly Boulder creek has been fishing great so why not. Isn't that what we want.

The three days were all just about the same. On the 24th, it was more of the same as ti has been; beetles. I can't stress it enough people. Beetles. Use them, now! Also, we threw some RS-2's and olive pheasant tails and those also worked. Got alot of bites on the swing or on the line up take of the roll cast on the RS-2 too. (2 too!) Overall, another great day except I smashed my face on a rock, bad, and we are not going to talk about it that much here. I will say this: after I hit, I slid on my face down this rock (cartoon style) and into the river all the way up to my chest and got water in my waders. Pretty classic if you got to witness it. Enough said.

BTW-the RS-2 I used was tied with Callibaetis super fine dubbing. AWESOME results. Highly recommend them. On this day they were more effective than the Grey RS-2's too. (2 too!). I will post a pic of one soon.

On the 27th, the weather was chilly! We had a cold front come through and it was not quite completely out before we got to fishing. We were looking for some olives with the overhead clouds and precipitation and we found them. RS-2's, grey, Callibaetis, and olive were hot. Beetles worked more towards the mid day.

The 29th was awesome. As of now it was my last rip of the year. Is that what made it great? No. It was the fact that the gentleman I went out with was very experienced and by 10:30 a.m. he had caught more than 20 fish and he called it good for the day. It was sunny all morning so guess what we used. Yeah...a beetle.

Some great trips, some great early fall fishing, and a great end to the guiding season. Now, it's my turn...


Tight Lines!
