Tomahawk Wildlife Management Area

We were able to enjoy a couple of hours fishing the Middle Fork of the South Platte River as it courses through the Tomahawk WMA. The river was swollen and off-color due to the heavy rains and so our fishing strategy had to change. Rather than fishing the typical terrestrials with a dropper, we had to change to something flashy to catch their attention - welcome back wooly buggers! Before the next storm moved in, we were able to catch many fish, but they were all small stocked rainbows. Better than being skunked, but having never caught a tagged fish in this stream, it was somewhat disappointing. While Jeff, Charlcie, and I fished, Jaden climbed the mountain that overlooks the stream - she is one adventurous young lady!
