Colorado High Water Fishing Reports

Most the rivers here in Summit County and Colorado for that matter are on the rise and reaching flood stage, but we are still having some great success on some rivers and reservoirs around the state.

The Williams Fork River below Williams Fork Reservoir has been fishing good.  Even with the high flows the water is clear and the fish are eating.  We have been using San Juan Worms, Crystal Pheasant Tails, Bubble Back PMD's and more.  Check it out!

Upper Arkansas River, upper South Platte people fishing the edges, pockets and banks are catching fish in big attractor patterns.

The South Platte between Spinney and Eleven Mile Reservoirs has been fishing good.  Look for Yellow Sallies on the move.  Fish the nymph patterns.  Also look for Caddis hatching; there can be some great fish activity.

The Blue River in Silverthorne, Colorado has been fishing good.  Fish the edges with Skimpy Scampi Mysis Shrimp patterns, San Juan Worms and attractors.  Use heavy tippet (3 and 4X) so you have a chance of landing one of the big guys.

Spinney and Antero Reservoirs are fishing hot right now, with non-stop action.  If you have tried Stillwater fly-fishing, this is the time to check it out.  Book your Lake Float trip with Blue River Anglers now!

So even with high water we have been having great luck and have been hearing of many other people having great success as well.  Just make sure you pick the right water and flies.  How do you do that you might ask; ask a professional!

Stop in or give a call for the most up to date conditions!
