Fishing Report

for

Rocky Mountain National Park

No New Fishing Reports Until April 2010

The streams and lakes inside the Park are now all virtually non-fishable.  There are open leads at times in Moraine or Glacier that you might be able to coax a fish into, but really this is the time to tie up patterns and leaders, and reflect on past trips.

I enjoyed guiding more this summer than I have in several years.  I had more experienced guests and more one-on-one trips, both of which I enjoy.  I also had guests that were willing to hike a ways to get into the backcountry, away from the busier streams and into some tremendous fishing. 

As I think back over the summer, my biggest regret is that I didn't get into some of the really remote drainages this year to finish my book on the Park.  I'm 4 destinations short of having coverage of the entire East Slope, and my goal was to publish this month, so now I'll have to decide whether to wait or publish a first edition that is incomplete.  I think I'll tie up a few more ant patterns and think about that.

Dave and I want to thank all our guests for fishing with us, and we wish you and your families all the best this holiday season.

Tight Lines,
