Current Report
Flowing at 229 cfs at Ruedi
and fishing's red hot!
Green Drakes are basically
everywhere from Seven
Castles up to the dam, and
often start like clockwork
around 11 AM. Fish may key
in on Drake nymphs and
emergers, or smaller food
sources during the hatch if
they have had lots of
pressure. PMDs are the main
food souce present after
about 2 PM and going into
early evening. There are
always variations
with size and color (pink to
sulphur) on the
Pan,
so keep your box stocked
with appropriate PMD
patterns such as those
listed below.
PMD spinnerfalls and caddis
dominate the evening action,
which is still pretty silly
right before dark.
Catch of the Week
19 inch cutthroat on an
Electric Drake.
One-Week Fishing Forecast
Does it get any better?

year we all wait for!
