...bad is the fishing right now? That's a question I've been asking myself as the weekend continues to draw closer. Perhaps I should be asking myself how good is the fishing though because so far I haven't had a bad day in Colorado. My goal was to get to 70 days on the water for the year, so getting stuck one short sounds like a great opportunity for annoyance. This becomes even more of a factor when I think about all those warm days a few short months ago that I did not choose to go fishing.
Hindsight is definitely 20/20, but now the question becomes, is it really worth it? I think the answer is probably yes, which then begs the next question: When and where to go? I'm thinking about exploring in Clear Creek again. I'm sure the ice situation will be less than ideal, but maybe there will still be enough open water that I won't go entirely crazy. The Blue sounds like a possibility as well although with highs in the low 20s forecast most of the weekend (at best), I'm not sure that my frozen fingers could thread the tiny midges that will probably be required.
Dilemmas about where to go fishing are good ones to have, so maybe a little help is in order. Where do you think I should fish this weekend, considering that I don't really want to drive more than an hour or two at most and prefer less?
David, I think there are two things to keep in mind. I just read a report that the Blue is really low although I'm sure it's open. Clear Creek is a gamble unless there has been at least several days of warm weather. I'd stay home, drink a beer or two and watch football.
ReplyDeleteHoward, I am leaning towards not going anywhere although I would really like to get out. Guess I will see if I am inspired tomorrow...
