So, given Kara's update on the expected flows over the weekend,

[log in for link]

...what are everyone's opinions on how the fishing should be this weekend, and how you would approach the fish? Fly or tackle, either way! :)) I am thinking of surely fishing some fly & lure only water, so bait is out this weekend :))

Dude...why make this hard? Grab some big 'ol plugs and jigs and get after 'em. If you want dripping fish pics, that dog will hunt!

If you want to fly fish, ask someone who knows fly fishing more than me. Personally, I'd fish big, sleek bright colored streamers as fast as I could, but again, I'm no fly expert! Either way, have fun! CL

LOL! I am surely a lot like you Chad! I already have the big ol jerkbaits, swimbaits, jigs & of course my favs, the giant spinners already ready! Mepps 4s & 5s are my spinner of choice for the raging Colorado! I was supposed to head out after turkeys this weekend, but that trip doesn't look promising, so this is plan "B"!

Depending on the water of course, maybe I'll start with some dark zonkers, sculpins, or blood sucking leeches! I do have some big ol beaded woolly buggers too. Whatever, I sure do need to brush-up on my fly fishing skills. (or lack of skills that is! LOL!)
