Above average snowfall for April increased snowpack to 100% in Colorado river Basin
November maybe known in these parts for the Deer and Elk hunting, but I am stalking a predator of a different species. Large predator Brown Trout of the Lower Colorado River. Leave the Midge box and 6X at home, I am armed with a saltwater 9.5 ft 6 weight Orvis Helios and a fist full of Home Invaders and Tequilly's. Floating the lower Colorado between Glenwood Springs and Rifle(20 miles of water) one can find some of the big Browns that dreams are made of . We saw no boats this entire weekend, 50 degree weather and some large Browns!
We have been catching lots of trout even with higher then average flows this last week, you can too.
Cooler weather slows Eagle River run-off and turns on the fish.
Wether you are a complete beginner or a better than average flifishernam/woman the Orvis 2 day school the best chioce.
Rated 4.5 of 5 by the people who use it most THE GUIDES. The next generation Sling pack is here and it has many more features then it's predesesser.
