Last week I was in the Aspen area, so I hit up the Frying Pan one day and did the Roaring Fork three other days. Everything was taken on a #20 gray RS2. I saw lots of stonefly nymphs on the rocks, but they didn't want anything to do with those. Everything came on the trailing RS2.
Here is a nice rainbow from the Frying Pan: I caught a lot of long skinny browns on the Roaring Fork in the 14-15 inch range: Also, I stumbled on a rock while wading upstream. My phone was in my upper wader pocket. It is a Samsung S8 Active, which is a beefed up version of a Galaxy, so it's supposed to be waterproof and dropproof. Well it's sure as hell not even the least bit water resistant. It got maybe 3 inches deep in the water for about 5 seconds and it was dead. I eventually revived it by prying off the back cover and putting it in rice for three days and it powered on once the insides were dry. In the meantime, I bought a cheap $70 prepaid phone from Walmart, and it worked quite well for me. Last edited by loochy; 08-01-2022 at 03:45 PM.. |

This is the longest stretch in my life since 5yo fishing creeks. This year just has been brutal on me however I'm feeling good and putting in way extra overtime I'll have 96 hours overtime for two weeks at the end of this pay period. Then I'm going continue the grind but I got a three day weekend in September 2nd 3rd and 4th and them bastards better be biting.

I was catfishing at my parent's pond, using chicken liver as bait.
Hooked into this guy. Didn't know that grass carp bit on chicken liver, but what a fight. Dad says he's around 17 years old. Our guess was around 3 feet long and 20-25 pounds. He swallowed the hook, so we released him quickly, didn't want to stress him out too much trying to weigh/measure. |

Love fishing the Frying Pan.
How were the water levels? Last time I was there we were hammering them on #20 BWO. |

The Colorado River was closed to fishing, though, because it was up over 70 degrees. Last edited by loochy; 08-02-2022 at 12:53 PM.. |
