Bent Rods and Tight Lines
My girlfriend and favorite fishing partner, Erin Brasfield, has made numerous appearances in Bent Rods and Tight Lines. After two years of dating, including almost an entire year of living together, I decided it was time to stoop down on bended knee and propose marriage. .
Fishing Report: Hints of fall starting to show up, which bodes ...
Change is in the air. Ever so subtly, the dog days of summer are winding down. Though that proverbial hint of fall may not be in the air quite yet, the edge is off summer temperatures across much of the state and fishing is beginning to stir from its summer doldrums.
A pattern of afternoon rains has returned to much of Colorado. Rivers generally are flowing at or somewhat above normal levels for late August. The rains can temporarily discolor the water, but conditions otherwise are prime. Summertime hatches are coming off regularly, and terrestrial insects such as grasshoppers are readily available to the trout.
Spin-fishermen also are finding improved late-summer conditions, with trout active in riffles and pocket water, as well as the deeper pools.
Mountain creeks and beaver ponds are in prime condition, and late summer is a great time to visit the higher country.
Silas Gray: This old mill stream produces big trout
My wife Karen and I were winding along Missouri highway 5 east of Springfield, being careful not to miss our turn. Silas Gray: This old mill stream produces big trout The Joplin Globe By Silas Gray Globe columnist My wife Karen and I were winding along Missouri highway 5 east of Springfield, being careful not to miss our turn. We were returning from a trip to Nashville and found ourselves with an extra day and nothing planned. With the town of Rockbridge only a few miles out of the way, we decided to spend some time catching big rainbow trout. This was the second time we'd made the trip to Rockbridge but the first time we'd made it together. Karen and I were introduced to the Rainbow Trout and Game Ranch while attending Dave and Emily Whitlock's fly fishing school.
