Colorado Stream Update: The North Fork is starting to fish well.
Current Conditions at North Fork Public:
The North Fork is starting to heat up. With flows around 50cfs we are seeing more trout activity and the fish are feeding. Beatis and Midge patterns are still doing the trick and we are starting to see fish move into some of the fast water. Nymphing will still be the most productive technique at this time.
The fishing is good. Clear skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 44-47 degrees and Stained.
