Colorado Stream Update: Smallies!
Current Conditions at Chatfield State Park:
Fishing is open at Chatfield but please do not crowd the boat launch or shore access. We have seen some great smallies being caught on clousers and leech patterns. This is a great option close to home.
The fishing is fantastic. Partly Cloudy skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 60+ degrees and Crystal Clear.
