Colorado Stream Update: Pick the warmest days
Current Conditions at Boulder Creek:
The recent storm and low temperatures have it looking like Winter is here to stay. With that in mind winter-fishing tactics are beginning to become necessary. Smaller flies, light-tippets and depth are important factors to finding success. Target deep holding runs and major current breaks during the warmest parts of the day. Two-bits, Hares ears and Princes all make great point flies. Trail something more selective off the back like a black beauty, or a top secret midge. Depth is important when nymphing and even more so on cold days. Be sure that your flies are in the feeding column.
It’s now winter time in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Time to head to the tail waters. What a fantastic season it was. Fly fishing trips and reports have been great this year. Winter is just about to arrive. The fishing is slow. Clear skies and 36-39 degree weather. The water temperature was between 32-35 degrees and Crystal Clear.
