COLDWATER FISHING

October 25, 2005

99.9999% of the fish were not even remotely interested in what we were throwing at them. In fact, every time we changed lures we would catch one fish - and then nothing else. Too many fish were in spawning mode...I bet the pre-spawn fishing was awesome. In all we caught 8 brown trout in a couple hours between 20-25 inches. Not bad, but not impressive for the sheer number of fish cruising. Here's the fishing lures that worked for us: - small floating Rapalas -

- small floating Rapalas
- large jointed Rapalas- 1/4 oz white spinner bait (bass lure)
- large Blue Fox spinners (#4, chartreuse, blue)

A State Record

Denver Post

12/18/05

It's no secret fish grow large in the Blue River below Green Mountain Reservoir Colorado, certainly on that reach flowing through a large ranch where fish regularly are fed. Nor is it a real surprise the 33-inch, 17-pound, 2.6-ounce Snake River cutthroat trout taken by Rob Peckham of Oak Creek establishes a state record for that species. Peckham, 48, caught the fish Aug. 28 on a Rapala.

The Snake River variety isn't native to Colorado and the Division of Wildlife chooses to list the record separately, since it maintains a category for native cutthroat trout species: Colorado, Greenback and Rio Grande cutthroat trout. Thing is, no one knows precisely the species of the previous record cutt, a 16-pounder purportedly caught at Twin Lakes Reservoir in 1964.
