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) -
Access on the Upper Ark north of Buena Vista is extremely difficult during the winter months with lots of snow and rim ice on the banks, mixed with frozen sections of river.  This section usually starts to become accessible in March.  In the meantime, when air temperatures are favorable, the Upper Ark can be fished south of Buena Vista with stonefly and other typical nymph rigs.  Make sure you are deep and on target, as trout will not move far for food in the winter months.  On warmer days midge action on top is not uncommon during the warmest part of the day.


Upper Eagle River - The Upper “E” is currently unfishable in the winter months.  The fishing here starts to get hot in June when runoff starts to recede.

South Platte (Badger Basin, 63 Ranch and The Dream Stream) -
You can access and have some success in the Dream Stream between Spinney and Eleven Mile Reservoirs.  Tiny midge nymphs, san juans, and egg patterns are the norm for winter fishing, with top midge action on the warmer days.

Antero & Eleven Mile Reservoirs-
These Reservoirs offer great opportunities for large trout fishing through the ice.  Typical baits, jigs and spoons are the ticket.
