Chasing Hatches in Colorado

March 08, 2010

Chasing Hatches in Colorado

The past couple days here at home have been the first indications that we've turned the corner towards spring. I've got the fever bad, too...sporting flip flops, shorts and a T-shirt for those "balmy" 50 degree days. I can't help it. 

I figured everyone needed a little dose of "fishporn" to get all fired up for the season. Normally I'm not one for take after dry fly take when it comes to video, but RA Beattie's new video short, "Chasing Hatches In Colorado" is just that. As you'd imagine there's lots of dry fly action, but I'm more enthused with the fact that there's leaves on tress and bugs larger than size 28 being eaten by trout.

The short is an outtake from RA's new feature length movie called "Off the Grid." Turn up the volume, break out those sandals and get ready for brand new season. We're almost there...

In my neck of the woods VA the temp should hit 60 degrees for the first time this winter sometime this week, The hatches are a few weeks off most likely but I'll be hitting the rivers and streams every chance I can

I went fishing last week for the first time this year. It's cool to see the black midges and black stones on top of a foot and a half of snow. I took some good pictures (I finally learned how to use my macro setting) and tried too post them on the Hatch Report but I couldn't figure it out.

It was exciting to see life crawl from the river after 6 weeks of blizzards and sub zero temps.

And TR, about the shorts and t-shirt. You can't go fishing if you are sick now can you?

Tim, can an average guy get into anything like that out west? I always assume, I'm sure somewhat incorrectly, that these things are shot on some private stretch of water that I will likely never see. My boys are watching this stuff with me and they think we are going to see this kind of fishing when we are out West this summer. I'm trying to temper their expectations. The SIMMS video I am most curious about is the one on the website called "Family Affair". It shows the mother and daughter fishing hopper patterns for Cutts. My son Patrick wants to know what river it is and if we can fish it this summer. I told him I try and find out.

Thanks for the break...It is amazing to me how good the video quality is these days. No pixilation, smooth, very crisp and clear. Not quite as good as being there, but not bad either!!

Shorts and flip-flops..not for this wuss..that wind still has some bite to it. Sunday , after stepping foot into the Arkansas,I discovered that my waders have a hole in them. Can't wait for warmer days..........Wags, I'll chime in with Tim. There are hundreds of miles of public access to the streams in Colorado. You can easily fish the South Platte, Arkansas, Blue or Gunnison, to name a few ( my favorites) Also quite a few reservoirs that are fun to flyfish and there are days when I am amazed at the size of some of the fish. I bet you and the kids are antsy as all get out.

And to think I spent last weekend sitting on a bucket over a 6 inch hole I drilled by hand through 30+ inches of ice up here in Minnesota. It's nice to see that some people are getting out on open water this time of year. I also enjoyed the "balmy" 50 degree quote. It sure does feel that way now doesn't it, of course up here we would call 40 balmy and 50 down right hot this time of year. Enjoy your warm weather and open water fishing southerners, we Minnesotans will join you in a month or so and I for one can't wait!

Wags where in the west are you? Here in California you can see great hatches on many of our rivers, not only in the spring but all year round.

Wags,

Much of this was shot on water that is easily accessed by the public. It's literally endless out here and there. You do need someone to point you in the right direction, but I've spent quite a few amazing days around Jackson catching cutties on dry flies until I felt bad about it. It may take a bit of walking or hiking, but depending on the time of year you go I guarantee you'll get into fishing like this. Let me know when you're going and I'll get you dialed in on specifics.

When you look for masculine fashion footwear, Dolce And Gabbana Outlet hold a place all their own, in style as well as components. Some men aren’t as “geared” for style as women seem to be, but Buy Dolce And Gabbana are changing that opinion today. They are also geared to appeal to a younger demographic group than some other styles you may see. Authentic Dolce And Gabbana incorporate leather, suede and other materials for that perfect mix of style and comfort. Some of the D&G shoes for business wear are made with a polyurethane midsole and nylon and suede uppers, that make these shoes breathable as well as stylish.
