Colorado Stillwater - April 28, 2024

Good day - not consistent fish, but consistently big fish.

I hooked up pretty quickly - catching a nice 22 incher.  



The second fish was caught about an hour later - a nice 22 inch cuttbow with a nice yellow belly like a Yellowstone Cutt (obviously it wasn't though).



The weather was ok - spitting snow, no wind, cold (32 degrees) and heavy overcast.  The third fish was nice - a 25 inch cuttbow that ran me a bit.





An hour later I got the big one.  This one hooked up and ran straight to the left - I couldn't turn him.  He wore me out.  After 10 minutes I got him close and netted him - but he was so big he popped out.  I netted him again and finally landed him.  He took up all of my net and his back tail wasn't even in it.  Biggest fish I have ever caught.  27 inches or so and fat - maybe 10+ lbs.  






The sun popped out around 10am, but the wind picked up as well.  I did manage one more fish - a fat 25 inch cuttbow.
