COLORADO FLY FISHING GUIDES
FISHING REPORT

Here, at Colorado Fly Fishing Guides, located in downtown Leadville, we are just minutes away from the headwaters of the Arkansas River. We also service the South Platte River, South Park Reservoirs, and have several private water options throughout the state.

Upper Arkansas River (between Leadville and Buena Vista) -
Flows out of Twin Lakes have been cut to 242 cfs which has the river at ideal flows for the wade/walk fisherman from top to bottom.  Still having strong stonefly, yellow sally, and caddis hatches.  There is also a PMD presence and look for drakes in the Meadows.  Stimis, PMX, Caddis, and Yellow Sally patterns on top, with Prince, Yellow Sally nymphs, Hare’s Ears, PMD emergers, or Caddis emergers for droppers.  The dry flyin’ on the Ark right now is hot – drop what you’re doing and get out there!  


Upper Eagle River –
The flows are down and stable on the Upper “E” and it is on FIRE!!  If you like high catch rates on a small stream book your trip on this beauty while the dry fly action is hot!

South Platte (Dream Stream) –
Flows have been cut down in this tailwater so stealth methods are a must.  Try caddis, PMD emergers and san juans for good action on the Dream Stream.

South Platte (63 Ranch and Badger Basin) –
The water conditions in these areas have dropped, cleared up, and are near perfect now. Expect consistent hatches and tie on your favorite dry fly pattern for great action on the resident torut here.  Try a deep dropper in the bigger holes to rustle up one of the monsters that these waters hold.
 

Antero Reservoir –
Fishing has been great at Antero with a lot of bigger holdovers and good catch rates of mid size fish being caught.  Scuds, hare’s ear and red copper johns are the norm for Antero this time of year.  Motor boat trips to Antero are now available – book yours today!

Basically the waters that we service are prime time right now for dry flyin’ and high catch rates.  BEAT THE HEAT and fish the high country with Colorado Fly Fishing Guides ASAP!
