Dream Stream Fly Fishing Report  - South Platte below Spinney Mt. Res. - Saturday, May 4, 2019

Colorado Stream Update: The fishing has been good - Please respect fish as they finish their spawn

Current Conditions at Dream Stream:

The Dream has been fishing well for the angler able to battle the crowds. There are still some large fish in the river system from the lake. Rock gardens, and deeper runs are producing willing fish. There have been intermittent hatches of midges and small mayflies, look for fish to slide into riffles during these times. Most eats remain subsurface. Try flies such as, WD-40's, Juju baetis', disco midges and top secrets. Run these more selective patterns behind an attractor fly such as a leech or worm. Remember that bank presence, lining fish and plopping indicators are all tings that make fish more weary.

Flows have been stable and nymph fishing with small midges and mayflies is the name of the game. Spring is the time of year to view wildlife! Look for Bald Eagles, Mule Deer, Wild Turkeys and other interesting fauna throughout the South Platte River drainage. Fly fishing reports have been fair to good. The fish are spawning so be careful where you walk as to avoid damaging future fish populations.  The fishing is good.  Partly Cloudy skies and 48-51 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
