Clear Creek
Had a beautiful day to fish so I headed up to Clear Creek to try my luck. Since the canyon is closed Monday thru Thursday, I decide to try fishing in the canyon on a Friday. I go to a spot I've fished before and start working upstream. It seems like the fishing is slow but after a hour I have eight fish in and a few more hits and misses. I move to a new area hoping the good fishing continues. Sure enough I get a fish in the second spot I try. I work upstream for a couple hours catching 13 more fish before taking a little break before I move to the next spot. I drive up to bakersville just to see what the creek looks like. Sadly the water is really stained with snow on the banks and no fish to be seen. I drive downstream to finish at a spot I know well. I manage to get two more but the fishing seemed to die out, so I call it a day. Great day on the water!

Okay my friend I've tied up some Amy's Ants. Now if I can drag my butt up there!
ReplyDeleteFished the Poudre today with a green Amy's Ant and caught over twenty in three hours! The water was stained(doubled volume in last two days). Clear Creek was stained too(gauge just keeps going up).
