Colorado Stream Update: May on the Fork
Current Conditions at Roaring Fork:
Fish are mainly being found on nymph rigs, however, the streamer can definitely produce. 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 such as Sculpzillas, slump busters and Galloup's Sex dungeon. Get out and enjoy the fork before she is blown out.
The fishing is good. Clear skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 52-55 degrees and Slightly Off.
