Late February on South Boulder Creek

Had a beautiful day out to try our luck on South Boulder Creek with my buddy Dan today.  We got to the creek around 10:30 and had it to ourselves.  The flows were still low but we managed to find a bunch of spots where the water pooled up and gave the fish a place to hide.

We started the day near the top and worked our way downstream throughout the day.  I thought the day would be more productive with the river to ourselves but that was not the case.  Over the coarse of the day, Dan had only a couple bites but no fish and I caught one rainbow and had another hooked that got off.  The funny thing about the one that got off was that I had grabbed Dan's fishing rod to show him how to cast a little better, and started casting to a hole he had just spent the last 5 minutes at, and hooked into a fish  on the second cast, just after I told him the hole was done.  To my brother and I this is known as the Mark Weber( Because he catches more fish not paying attention than anyone we know).

We call it a day around 1:30pm and head back to the car as the wind started to pick up.  Good to be out with an old friend, even with the slow day.
