The First Day of Three

Riverside gourmet lunch.
Clinton caught the biggest fish of the day.

This rainbow took a PMX.

There were more rainbows caught than browns today.

Lee was all smiles when he caught this rainbow.

Lee was mad when he had to hold this brown for a picture.

Lee drug this fish through a rapid. He finally got it to the boat.

It was a fall day and a low water run--270 cfs

A Warm Day On The River

This was the last fish caught today.

Peter is from Africa. He enjoyed catching fish from the Arkansas River.
Another nice rainbow.

This is one of the few brown caught today.

John caught this rainbow out of a pod of 10 rainbows.

John landed this rainbow using a 2-bit hooker.

The river is clear and dropping--276 cfs today.

A Beautiful Fall Day On Antero

Ray trying to watch his strike indicator and check out the fall colors.
Ray landed this rainbow, but he has a fish story
about the one that got away.

Jim was happy to catch this cutbow.

Not A Cloud In The Sky Today

Chris likes to catch big rainbows.
This brown took a black midge pattern.

Many fish were in the deep part of the river today.

We pulled over and fished a drop off. Chris landed one and missed three.

First Day of Fall

A Fall Float

The 'Fish Spotter' is waiting for the release of this fish.
This was ESPN Film's moment. A big mouth came up
and in slow motion it inhaled the yellow PMX.
The water was so clear you could see all the action.

I added this raccoon to the list of animals I have seen on the river.

Wade Fishing

The 'Fish Spotter' stuck out her tongue at me because she had

to go wade fishing for 3 days. She would rather be on the boat.

The above picture is what the fish are feeding on now.

This fish took a size 20 pheasant tail.

The fish are also still hitting the PMX's.
