Ark @ Hayden Meadows 27Aug18

Late summer makes finding the right fishing spots harder. I headed to COS the back-back way over Fremont Pass and stopped at the Hayden Meadows section of the Arkansas River. This is the first decent headwaters fishing spot on the Ark but it is south of Leadville and Twin Lake effluent. I caught some browns like this on hoppers up top and BHFBPT and rainbow warrior droppers. The water seemed perfect but fishing was meh... though I did arrive at 11am and depart at 1:30pm, so that's a tougher part of the day for fishing. It's always nice to have a pizza & beer at Amica's.
