Second Wave of Runoff

Summer finally arrived last week in the Roaring Fork Valley after a June full of cool temps and plenty of rain. And while the warm weather and sunshine has been a pleasant change, it also brought with it high water.

The rivers last week were at their highest point for the month and were running quite dirty, partially due to a heavy mid-week rainstorm. However, in typical fashion, we stayed out there, and the fishing was good.

It looks as though the Roaring Fork river peaked on Friday, and though it is still very high, it seems to be on its way down. Combine that with increasingly active insects, and I am predicting we see some very good fishing in the days and weeks to come.

Stay tuned and here are some highlights from the high water last week.

Here's Alan excited about his big brown trout. Trust me.A couple of big rainbows.
And yes, we've even been putting the boats in the water.
