1/31/10 Rainbow                                         1/31/10 28" cutbow

Flows- Below Dam-400cfs, Almont-1200cfs                                                      

Techniques and Conditions- Spring is making a slow approach, and the anticipated run-off has flow way up.  The amount of visable fish is unreal, with a lot of big rainbows parked in the main current and browns is the slower stuff.  Concentrate on the runs, holes, pockets, and transitions in the river.  The C&R is as popular as ever, with anglers testing their skill against some of biggest trout in the West. 

Flies and Hatches-   Below the dam try egg, worms, mysis, rs2 18-24, wd 40 18-24, Baetis nymph #18-24, Black beauty #18-24, Poxy Midges red, black, ufo #18-24, Chocolate emerger, Poly and foam wing #18-24.  

**We have been guiding on a 1 mile piece of private Taylor River that sees very little pressure this time of year.  We are lucky to have this fishery in our backyard.   Expect to see numbers and quality with many fish over 18". $50 half day rod fee and $100 full.

Below : John from Lakewood shows off one his many trout that he landed on that beautiful April day.  This rainbow was 23" and plump.  Our private Taylor access is on fire, come check it out!
