We caught a lot of fish on the Taylor, but there
weren't a lot of big rainbows down in the Catch and Release section.
We did drive up on top of the dam and is pretty amazing to see
all the big rainbows down below. I did find one nice rainbow
up right below the no-fishing zone, but couldn't get it to take
a fly. After not catching much in the upper faster water we decided
to try down in the lower part of the Catch and Release section.
This area doesn't
receive
quite as
much
pressure
as above
and I had heard of people hooking some big bows down there. Rob
landed a nice 20 inch brown right away and almost had a huge
bow, but pulled the fly from its mouth. I landed a couple of
browns
with a
parachute BWO and then tried fishing the rapids and pocket water
above Rob. I caught a couple more small rainbows on a pheasant
tail and San Juan worm. It was fun to catch fish in a new spot
and nice to find that big brown so far down river.
