As you can see the the trees in the canyon were not touched by the fire it's pretty amazing because everything around the canyon was.

| Littleton, Colorado Posts: 34 | The fishing was great today with "Traditional" RS2s #22 dropped under a Mercury RS2 #18 - 20. I finally landed some of the "super selective trout" out of Cheeseman I have fished it 8 times and never landed any trout I have hooked 2 prior but my net was left empty. I was so excited, I could have left today after netting one, but four trout out of there in my opinion is fantastic! The action was good the whole time I was there I missed a few not so subtle strikes, and had two throw the hook and one I played in a deep pool and it snapped my tippet after only 15 seconds. The best fishing was in the deeper tailouts but I hooked one in about a 14" riffle as I was making my way to the bank to move up stream. It was a virtual cornacopia of hatches, the tricos would come off then the baetis, then I would see some caddis then more baetis, the midges were coming off all day. I am attaching pictures but they are not of the best quality but I know I like seeing photos of your guy's fish, and the beauty of Colorado is something I like sharing with all of you. Sorry again for the sub par photos but you get the idea :) | |
