Think Outside the Box - Pat Dorsey @patdorseyflyfishing
Autumn is one of the best times of the year to fish with streamers. Many anglers get trapped in a rut and rarely do anything but nymph-fish. It’s important to remain open-minded, experiment with your tactics and techniques, and think outside the box from time to time.
During the autumn months, I typically carry a separate rod rigged with two streamers so that I have the flexibility to change tactics when necessary. I’ll routinely nymph a riffle or run first, then come back through with a tandem streamer rig looking for any opportunistic feeders that I may have missed. Some of the biggest fish of the year are fooled with streamers between September and November.
Some of my favorite streamers include: Size 1/0-2 Barr’s Meat Whistle (black, olive, white, ginger, and brown), 8-10 Crystal Bugger (white, and olive), 8-10 Heng’s Autumn Splendor, 10 Pine Squirrel Leech (natural), 10 Goat Leech (brown and black), 2-6 Bennett’s Lunch Money (rainbow trout, easter bunny, olive, brown trout, sculpin brown, and black), Barr’s Slump Buster (natural, olive, and rust), and a Cone Head Sculpin.
When I am walk-wading, I typically fish these with a floating line, but don’t rule out using a Scientific Anglers Sonar Sink 25 Cold to increase your sink rates when your fishing from a drift boat or inflatable raft. It is designed with a 25 foot sinking head that gets your streamers deep quickly. When you want to get “down and dirty”, this fly line is a must-have!

TALES FROM ADRIFT
The older I get the more I realize that the one thing I may ever have complete control over is my state of mind. So, I try to look up when it seems like I should hang my head, be thankful I get to share one of the things I love with others and I try never to forget that the water that passes under my bridge, once may have passed under another’s.

HELPFUL TOOLS

Wearing a hat on the water is not simply a fashion statement. A hat will keep the sun off of your face, and more importantly, out of your eyes and that will help you see the fish better. One thing to keep in mind when buying a new fishing hat, a dark under bill to absorb rather than reflect light.

IN THE DROPOFF

#colorado Stillwater’s can be very intimidating to approach for #coloradoanglers . As we get into the #fallseason one way to find fish is placing yourself on the windward side of the lake. As the wind blows those waves towards you, it is bringing steady flow of food and turning up the bottom. Fish move into those areas to feed on the drifting or turned up food sources and bigger fish come in to prey on the smaller fish. The beautiful #trout you see in the video took a minnow imitation (Shafer’s Ella’s Beats) at a depth of six feet.
An added bonus to placing yourself on the windward side of the lake is, you will get plenty of casting practice! 😂 Trust us, it will make you a better angler!

The @bluequillangler is proud to announce our partnership with @outcastsportinggear to promote float tube fly fishing. The BQA has developed one of the first, comprehensive, on the water, float tube fly fishing courses in the country. —————————-
We will be adding one more class this year October 5th. With Outcast on board we are able to provide students with the best inflatable boats on the market and you will have the opportunity to try different models to see which ones you like, you will be able to try different accessories that you can add to your float tube as well.

Are you looking to get away from the crowds on our local rivers? Float tubing is the best and most convenient way to accomplish this! Our classes will teach you how to Stillwater Fly Fish from a float tube. Great for friends, couples or just someone looking to challenge themselves with a different type of fly fishing. See the link below for more details and to sign up for the classes. 📸 by Instructors @joeshaferflyfishing & @jerryvigil

TACTICAL TUESDAY .........
MEATY STREAMERS
-------------------------
Cool mornings, warm days, big flies, and big browns. The season is fast approaching. Using bigger streamers this time of year can help weed out smaller fish and help you target more quality fish. I prefer articulated streamers as they provide more movement on your swing and retrieve. Keep in mind, “chucking meat” will likely produce significantly lower numbers than nymphing… but what you hook may be the fish of your life.
