Spring break is this week and some friends and I decided to head to the sprawling metropolis of Denver with the intent of fishing the South Platte. Although original plans called for fishing the "Dream Stream" portion, we ended up not doing that. Most of the fishing where we were consisted of sight fishing to extremely picky fish (might have something to do with the weekend hordes that were present). It seemed like if they didn't take a swing at it on the first pass, they weren't going to move an inch for it ever. This caused some of the most creative nymphing combinations I have ever rigged up but once that was figured out, there were some big fish in some skinny water to be caught.
Sorry there aren't more scenic pictures. I know this river is no secret but seeing as the fish were in the same spot on consecutive days, its probably best not to reveal too much. However this was certainly a beautiful area. Despite tough fishing, it was certainly a great time.
