Long Shot from The Fly Collective

Nicely done short film of some of our favorite people, if not some of our favorite fish. Erin Block and Jay Zimmerman chase Front Range carp.

River Report: Cresting, and Carp Tips

The river rose above 17 feet on Tuesday morning.

By 8:15 Tuesday evening it was at 17.13 feet. It is supposed to crest at 17.2 feet sometime Wednesday, and then begin to slowly drop. But It won't likely drop below flood stage (15.0 feet) until at least Sunday.

We're still hoping levels will be conducive to flats fishing by the weekend. I even got a great tip from High Plains Fly Fisher. He says, "In that high water an egg pattern or a SJ worm placed in front of ole rubber lips would probably do the trick."

That's from someone who knows. Thanks! I'll definitely try them if the muddler doesn't work.
