Sunday, my friend Chad and I, wanted to hit some big fish in a new river. So, we headed out to the Williams Fork of the Colorado River. This time of year, Spring is just starting to roll in at that altitude and the run-off has yet to come. After hiking over a mountain for 30 minutes, we finally got our first glimpse of the river and it looked phenomenal. We ran from the top of the mountain to the river with what seemed like too much excitement. It only took 20 minutes before we started getting into the fish; I landed a nice 16″ Rainbow with some eye-popping coloring, and right after that a 14″ Brown. We walked down the river and it wasn’t long before we began seeing some really big fish. Trout of all lengths and girths could not stop eating a size 18 PHEASANT TAIL!!! Believe it or not! Eventually, we landed some hogs and had some fun. About a 30 fish day, including a fish at the confluence of the colorado. I love Colorado!
