Dave Graybill: The Fishin' Magician
Dave Graybill
I have wanted to get down to Rocky Ford to give it a try, and so went last Monday.
I chose to go Monday because the weather was going to tend to very windy and cold later in the week.
The forecast called for clear skies and a high of 37, and that sounded great. Well, it turned out that there was a heavy overcast and the temperature never got above freezing.
Ever tried fly fishing when you have to find a spot to cast that allows you to swish your rod in the water every second cast to get the ice out of your guides?
That’s what I was dealing with on the Ford. I did catch some fish and had a lot of hits that I missed. I also had two savage strikes on my indicator.
I have never seen the amount of activity of the trout here. The Ford is loaded with fish. I am going to get back down there, when the weather is a bit more mild.
I have fished in the snow and haven’t minded. It is the freezing guides that made things difficult.
I was fishing a mini Leech and a Scud, and all the fish hit the Scud.
