Brown and Root Flats – June 19, 2021

Featured"Puck" 2 Comments

We will meet up at 06:45am at the Hwy 361 launch site. Brown & Root flats is a shallow bay of a few thousand acres with water depths of 6” to 2.5 ft when we will be there. Clear water and sight casting are regular here. This, combined with the grassy and sandy bottom keeps the water clear and should allow you the opportunity to sight cast to fish. The numerous spoil islands and some pipelines should provide ample opportunity to explore the area and enjoy a peaceful day of fishing. Be sure and keep your eyes along the prop scars, the fish like to sneak along these. Wade fishing in general has good bottom. If you’re in mud, move out and you will find firmer wading. Google Earth or maps show good details and can help map out a secret strategy

"Puck" Leave a comment

Our club was founded in 1976 so we have made plans to celebrate the founding's 45th anniversary this July 24th at a fairly local state park. The state park has a fishable lake. Boats, kayaks, canoes, etc. can all be launched. An electronic invitation will be sent out shortly to all members in good standing according to our membership rolls. I'll pull the list in a few weeks. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, drinks, will be provided. We also plan to have door prizes, and more, on hand. Details to follow as I start looking for some volunteers.

Fishing the Taylor River, Colorado Dates: April 13-16, 2021 Fly Fishermen: Joe Nicklo (leader, sage, and experienced fisherman), John Scarcelli (experienced, patient trout fisherman), Steve Edwards (has done a lot to trout fishing, but mostly with a guide), and Paul Robertson (the rookie at trout fishing). We began planning this trip back in February, when we were able to take advantage of some $98 round trip tickets to Denver, CO, on Southwest Airlines. And we also all realized that we would all be Covid-19 vaccinated by then.
