I headed out to the Hartsel area to fish the famed Dream Stream as usual with my good friend Skippy. Skippy and I used to fish together back in college, but since we live in different places now, it can be difficult to get together. We made this trip happen and it sure was worth it. We were skeptical at first, with the crippling flows and freezing weather, but it turned out well. After giving up on the mornings, due to ICE FLOWS, we fished hard in the afternoons with one goal; to catch some nice fish. The Kokanee were still in the river, unfortunately in low numbers. We managed a few of the salmon, some random browns, and two nice suprise cuttys. Life is good here in Colorado, where you can fish all year round, low flows or not!
