Comments on B-32 Saguache Creek
What a delightful place. Self and two guests had the run of the valley for the day - and a perfect day it was, cool, no wind, flowers out all over the place, great peaceful scenery. An oh ... the fishing ... well, actually excellent. Fish everywhere in the morning pretty much right where they should be - but very tight against the banks. A small hopper was my ticket (with very little action on the nymph dropper) although my brother did better on nymphs under an indicator - but anytime you have over 30 hits in the morning on the surface - there's nothing to complain about. After lunch things changed a bit and the fish turned off. One savage strike from what seemed to be a much much larger fish from under a cutbank to bring us back again. Very pleasant.

Comments on C-60 Gianinetti Spring
Tough day on C-60 (as days there go). Unsettled weather through most of the day with a steady rain all morning. OK on the brookies in the lake on most anything stripped in, a few rainbows in the road hole on very small dries, but a tough day on the creeks. Brother caught one very nice rainbow on a PT nymph and I managed to coax one very nice old big boy out from under the bank with a mini-muddler/hopper in the afternoon after the sun came out, but put in a pretty intense day on most of the normal good spots on the spring creeks without the normal success. Came back after dinner and picked up a few more on midge dries just before dark. Getting to be more and more "museum pieces" and stock on the property all the time - a real collection. I've seen noticeable changes on the property over the ten+ years I've fished it.

Comments on A-4 Lake Fork
I really wanted A-3 on this day but it was booked, so the RMA suggested that I try A-4. Never fished it before and it may now be my favorite. 40 fish in 4 hours. Double dry heaven. Trude/caddis killed 'em all morning. Started with fish actively feeding in the riffles and then big browns coming off the edges. 5 fish over 16" with a couple over 18". Missed a few larger ones as well. Top 5 day of all time. Tried to get this property again for this weekend but the word must be out because it is booked. Back to A-3, hoping for similar results.

Comments on A-2 Fourmile Creek
My dad and I fished the property for the first time. It was unique, and took us a while to get the lay of the land. Once we figured it out, we started catching fish and all in all we hooked about 20 fish, with several being rainbows in the 8-10 inch range, and the rest were browns.
We had a great day...
Thanks!

Comments on A-4 Lake Fork
We had one of the most beautiful days fishing at the A-4 property. There were no clouds, no wind, and a beautiful blue sky view of Mt. Massive. My dad and I caught as many as we missed which was approximately 20 fish. We hooked a few 14 inch browns, and a lot of 10 inch browns. The fish were a bit finicky due to the near full or full moon the night before, so we changed up our flies a few times from caddis, parachute adams, and a parachute grasshopper. All in all a very good time fishing.
Thanks!
