Fall Is Here - Breckenridge, Colorado

Fall is upon us. The Aspen trees are starting their annual display of brilliant yellows, oranges and reds. The evenings are cool and the nights, just down-right cold! Yep, the garden hose was frozen yesterday morning! That's the signal for us that it's time to blow out the irrigation, and start picking up stuff you don't want covered up for the winter.

Downtown Breckenridge is a little quiet today, but next weekend we are cutting loose with our now, nearly-famous, OCTOBERFEST in September! This is a super fun event, especially if you like to EAT AND DRINK great beer and great food in the sunshine, and sing along with the ooompa band on that silly "ticky tacky ticky tacky ticky tacky, hoy hoy hoy" song. GREAT FUN!!!! YUMMMY!!!

TWO GREAT REASONS why…

Big Rains Bring Big Fish To The Blue River

We prayed for rain and it came, hard and often. We’re accustomed to the southwest monsoon season bringing precipitation on a daily basis to our area, but not to this degree. Some rivers became unfishable. Most rivers in sections were turbid. Luckily for us, those conditions lasted less than a week. In some places, over 8 inches of rain fell in a two week period!

Precipitation brought the Middle Fork’s flows to run off levels. The Blue, Colorado, Arkansas, and numerous smaller streams were also affected in sections by the heavy rains. Flash flood warnings were issued six straight days in our area valleys. And then we dried out. River flows dropped. Along the Middle Fork, fishing was incredible. Large fish were showing themselves everywhere.

The rain…
