Hitting the colorado tomorrow

[TroutFishingBear]

Well, just got back from hitting the colorado about an hour ago. The numbers game was tougher than usual, 28 fish in 1 1/3 days of fishing it hard. 26 bows 2 browns, the browns are spawning and therefore I cannot catch them since they are in the creeks. Although the size of the rainbows were excellent; I caught 2 8" dink rainbows, a couple of bows around 14 or 15" (I kept one about that size, only deep hooked fish all trip), and the rest of the bows were all 3 lbs. plus. I got 3 trout 5 lbs. or over, including a 23 1/2", 7 lb. rainbow that had a huge baitfish in its gut I think. I had a big problem losing fish; I lost a hook jaw 30" brown on my second cast of the trip at new castle on a 3" pumpkin color curly tail. (I hooked him close to the bank and he made my 6 lb. test look like butter...) I also had a big fish on on a curly tail, don't know what it was a brown or rainbow, but when I got the curly tail back in (he spit the hook) the curly tail's tail was no more, the fish bit it off. The fish was at least a 8 pounder by how heavy he felt. Well, like I said, the numbers game wasn't on but the fish were big and zinging some drag[cool]
If anybody lives around this neck of the woods ya gotta hit this fishery right now
