Mike Minch
8/26:The guide crew floated the Colorado with Mike Minch of Denver, CO.  This healthy male brown came on the one and only Amy’s Ant.  Absolutely perfect hopper rise and hook-set along the bank.

Weekly Fishing Report
Not a lot has changed since last week’s report. The water in the South Platte remains clear and low. Smaller offerings underneath are producing, while the terrestrial fishing remains steady on the surface.  Leaves are beginning to turn and it’s simply an amazing time to be on the water.The Colorado also fished well this week with fish eating both hoppers and nymphs. The browns are starting to get fall colors and should really start chasing the rabbit (streamers) in the coming weeks.
