Current Report
Flowing at 4000 cfs in
Glenwood Springs and
muddy after some recent
rainfall. Water temps have
stayed relatively cold down
here this summer, and
fishing has been better than
normal during the peak of
summer. There have also been
a couple varietys of PMDs
hatching--a very
large #12 sulphur and a more
standard #16 melon color,
along with lots of caddis.
You may be lucky enough to
find a few remaining yellow
sallies as well.
Hopper dropper rigs are
producing early and late in
the day when the clarity's
there, and deep nymphing
with general
attractors, yellow sallies,
and
caddis is producing the
best results throughout the
heat of the
day. Don't be afraid to
look for fish in the pockets
and riffles where they get
more oxygen, and look for
streamer fishing to pick up
as monsoon season settles
in.
Catch of the Week
20 inch rainbow on a
Godzilla hopper.
