Taylor Fly Fishing Report  - Below Taylor Park - Wednesday, Jul 19, 2017

Colorado Stream Update: With the flow hovering in the high 300cfs range the fishing has been great!

Current Conditions at Taylor:

The trout of the C&R section of the Taylor are world renowned for their size and beauty but also their ability to be finicky and spook off. With the higher flows the trout are feeling more comfortable and feeding heavily on mayfly and small stonefly nymphs. Two-Bit Hookers work great here because their two tungsten beads get the fly down in the strike zone immediately. The classic Hare's Ear is imitating stonefly nymphs perfectly as well. When trout are feeding in the mid-water column and right below the surface their is no better pattern than the D-Midge Emerger. It is guaranteed to get the job done here! Crowds as always are super thick here so get here very early in the morning!

It is summer time on Colorado’s Western Slope! The sun is shining and the fishing is great so get out there and stick some fish.  Work the banks methodically with a grasshopper pattern and be sure to use a dropper for fish sitting on the bottom. Look for fish spreading throughout the river.   The fishing is great.  Clear skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 52-55 degrees and Crystal Clear.
