Colorado Dreaming
Equipment
I use 5- and 6-weight, fast-action rods for the Dream Stream. A 5-weight is light enough for a delicate presentation and still allows you to cast in the afternoon winds. A 6-weight is best for throwing streamers, especially when the wind is strong. A quality reel is also important. Dream Stream trout are strong because of their reservoir upbringing and equipped with big tails that supply powerful bursts of speed. A good fly line is a simple weight-forward floating line. Because the water is no deeper than 8 to 10 feet, you can get down using split-shot and weighted flies. Use fluorocarbon leaders and tippets--no lighter than 5X for nymphs, and 3X for streamers.
