It's time I learned how to fish.

Thank you very much for those great tips. More good stuff for me to research!

So if I wanted to drive up 6th and fish Clear Creek, I could use a spinner and cast it upstream?

I'm interested in the way you are suggesting to tie the line and use multiple hooks. That is something I'm not really familiar with. Is there a website perhaps that someone can recommend I visit so I'm not asking so many beginner questions?

[Hoopty]

Yes, you can head up clear creek and do that, however I'm suggesting you try a significantly smaller creek for now (like maybe 6' or less across). Also, keep in mind with the high runoff going on right now, you are not likely to have much, if any luck. You want to be fishing it when you can see through the water.

As for knot tying, look online for some help, I'm sure a simple google search will give you TONS of how to's. Much easier to show you than to try and tell you, know what I mean?

[Irving]

I just don't know where smaller creeks are. As far as the knots, I'm okay with the knot itself, I meant the technique of two hooks.

After thinking about it for a while, I think what I'll do is just look up Rainbow Trout and Large and Smallmouth Bass, read up everything I can about those two fish, and see if I can teach myself to catch some of those. Much easier then just asking way too broad questions like I started with the thread.

Lots of info on Denver metro fishing lakes and ponds.

Pick a day when there will be a barometric pressure change. A large pressure drop will oftentimes lead to the fish taking anything you throw at them.

for bass, wipers and pike I usually have good luck with Rapala shad raps and black with polka dot panther martins.

Multi colored panther martins usually work for trout as well.

Kewl, Yazzi said mine was "Fish Run From Bear"... but I'll catch something sooner or later!
