had to get out and try some new stuff i got this winter so headed to the ark.fished 11-mile sat for maybe the last ice fishing trip.caught 2 kept 1 18 " lost a few. lots of hits but i was not hooking. anyway back to the river. caught 5 browns in 3 hrs. lost a couple. the water was real cold and all were caught in the deepest holes.best fly a purple prince,next best a red copper john. it felt good to fish moving water for a change. from now on i hope to keep doing that. spring is just about here.

I'm with you Ark! I've even spotted a few robins in my yard lately. I've been tying a bunch of flies lately, starting to get the fever.

Arkfisher,
I may go to the Ark Tuesday. Were you up by Buena Vista or down below Salida?

Is the river clear of ice?

Air temps warm enough to be comfortable?

above salida. there was just a little ice in some of the shadows. a little windy but it was fairly comfortable. good luck and post a report .if it keeps up this warmth it should get better as the week progresses.
