Colorado Posts: 3 | So I was up fishing the Taylor River near Gunnison Colorado this last weekend, I was fishing it at night to avoid the heavy crowds that can accumulate during the day along the upper Taylor and I came across something I have never seen before... some big browns facing the shore in little eddies, I'm not talking about really slow water just behind rocks providing a current break. I am relatively new to fly fishing and especially at night so I asked my brother in law who was with me what he thought of it and his thoughts were that the fish were sleeping? I was wondering if they were hunting for terrestrials? They did not appear to be feeding heavily and I didn't spend a lot of time trying to encourage them to hit my flys as there were aggressively feeding fish very near by. Thoughts?? | |

York & Starlight PA Posts: 2733 | They weren't sleeping they were hunting! They were looking for mice to fall off the grass or one that decided to take a swim across the river. Next time you go take a couple deer hair mice tied on #1 or #2 hooks and use a short 6' leader ending in 1X or 0X and pitch them up against the banks and twitch them back to you and BTW Hang on!! | |
