Fishing Conditions: GOOD
Fly Fishing Report Date:
Thursday, Jun 7, 2012Colorado Stream Update: South Boulder Creek is currently offering some of the best trout fishing on Colorado's front range. Flows are stable and the dry fly fishing has been good.
Current Conditions at South Boulder Creek:
The fish are finally looking up and eating dry flies. Dry dropper rigs fished on the banks, edges and seams are producing some nice brown and rainbow trout. We fished below Eldorado Springs and the flow is good and the fish are feeding. Look for mid morning insect hatches.
The fishing is good. Partly Cloudy skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 40-43 degrees and Crystal Clear.
