Colorado Stream Update: Winter fishing conditions are getting closer
Current Conditions at Roaring Fork:
Fish are mainly being found on nymph rigs, however the streamer can definitely produce. In the mornings expect fish to take minute to warm up. Survey deep runs and pools. As the day warms look for fish to move towards the faster water. Nymphs include Princes, worms, Barr's emergers, Two-bits, 20-inchers, and soft hackles- All in sizes 16-18. Small baetis flies like an RS2 is a must. Streamers in smaller natural colors. Sculpzillas, slump busters and Galloup's Sex dungeon.
It is getting closer to winter and the fish are turning on to the midges again. Try fishing a Money Midge (size 18-22) for best results. For the best insect hatches, especially blue winged olive mayflies try to get on the water mid-morning on the cloudier and cooler days. The days are getting shorter and the weather is drastically cooling down. The fishing is good. Clear skies and 48-51 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
