On Sunday, November the 25th 2012, my roommate Nick and I went fishing to Brush Hallow lake here in southern Colorado. We arrived early in the morning around 8 a.m. we fished for trout and large mouth bass most of the morning.We did not have a boat so we walked around the edge of the lake on foot. We were using spinning rods with six pound fishing line(p-line brand). We used various types of trout fishing jigs that we tied ourselves. The lake is clear and has a beautiful scenery, but had quite a bit of trash around the edges which leads me to believe the lake is over fished by locals. Nick was the only person to get a bite all morning so we decided to change spots around 11 a.m.
We decided to go fish the Arkansas river around Florence, Colorado. In town there are several pull off fishing spots on the side of the highway. We walked down the sides of the river fishing with the same jigs that we had been using earlier that we had tied the night before. The river has several nice deep holes to fish both north and south of the bridge.
Nick caught the first fish it was a nice size brown trout and it ended the fish drought. Soon several minutes later I hooked into the second fish of the afternoon it was another brown trout. unfortunately these two fish were the only fish caught that afternoon because shortly after Nick and I had wrestling practice. I hope to return back to the Arkansas river soon to do some more fishing for brown trout.
