Colorado Stream Update: Closer to spring, but not quite there

Current Conditions at Boulder Creek:

Boulder creek is fishing fair to decent. Try to focus on the lower stretches as they are the most free of ice. Even though spring is near, it is still winter fishing for the most part. Try nymphing deeper runs and holding areas during the warmest part of the day. Flies like Pt's, hares ears and small midge patterns are producing well.

Our local streams close to Denver and Boulder are producing great fly fishing days. The fishing is fair. Clear skies and 40-43 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Slightly Off.
