This weekend a few friends and I headed up to a cabin on the Big Thompson River for a couple nights of drinking whiskey and a little bit of fishing while we were at it. Due to the recent snow storm, the canyon was a little more “locked up” than we would have liked, so we decided to fish the tailwater section directly below Olympus dam. We fished it all weekend and the fishing was excellent in the deeper pockets using San Juan worms, Sow Bugs, and various bright colored midges (in very small sizes). After a long weekend on the river, Cornish game hens were thrown, good times were had, and some nice fish came to hand.
The reports are great all over Colorado and we will continue to see more with all this warm weather.
And if you can’t get out, try and throw a Cornish game hen.
