Colorado Stream Update: The Ark continues to produce some great days on the water
Current Conditions at Arkansas:
The upper Ark near Granite is flowing low and clear. With winter conditions starting to become more consistent fish are being found primarily on nymph-rigs. Fishing through the lower areas and the canyon has been great! Hare's ears, PT's, and of course caddis offerings are all good thoughts. Trail a more selective pattern like a RS2 or a small baetis emerger. As the browns cycle through their spawn, be sure to fish ethically. Streamer fishing has been hot lately especially during last light. Natural colors like greys and tans have been turning some nice fish.
It is getting closer to winter and the fish are turning on to the midges again. Try fishing a Money Midge (size 18-22) for best results. For the best insect hatches, especially blue winged olive mayflies try to get on the water mid-morning on the cloudier and cooler days. The days are getting shorter and the weather is drastically cooling down. The fishing is good. Clear skies and 48-51 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
