I fished Ferron this morning from 8:00 until 12:30 from my tube using fly gear. It has been three years since the DWR treated the reservoir to remove the stunted brookies and the other fish. The fish are starting to get some size to them now. Some of the brookies are approaching 17". I caught about 60% brookie (sterile) 30% rainbows (sterile) and 10% Colorado cutthroats (not sterile). I used a fast sinking line with size 6-10 bead head soft hackles and leech patterns in black/green, red/black, olive, and tan/green/pearl. I have fished Ferron twice this year and have not caught any tigers yet. The water temperature was 59 degrees and the visibility in the water was about 10'. This is a beautiful place to fish and a lot of folks camp out here. There were a lot of shore anglers during the day.
I drove down the road to Willow Lake and fished there from 1:00 until 3:00 and used the same tackle only using a slow sinking line, since the deepest water in Willow is about 8'. I picked up two small tigers and the rest were rainbows stocked this year. There was no one else fishing while I was there. There is also a small campground here. There is always a chance at picking up a decent tiger trout here.
