The Ark is back. Had huge late runoff so far this year. I just spent the past ten days trying everything...including the tributary feeders on the upper Ark. Total of 60 fish in 4 days, including a dozen brookies varying form 8-12 inches...absolutely beautiful fish... about 20 browns, the three largest being 16", 18" and one nearly 19". All form Leadville to Granite, CO. the usual Rainbows, about 25 varying form 10-12" stockers to some nice 16-18" growers. Also caught 3 native greenbacks form the small streams feeding the Ark. Man was it fun...! The Caddis hatch was so thick in spots you have to cover up to breath!
Plus, I did walk into some remote spots...not quite on the highway to get the good brookies, and the highway pullover accesses were great too.

Incredible week and I think this is only the beginning..!
