Colorado Stream Update: Winter fishing conditions are in effect
Current Conditions at Saint Vrain:
The mornings are getting chilly so expect fish to be found slow and low, on nymph rigs. Target seams, current breaks, and deep pools that provide holding areas. Flies like princes, Hare's ears and worms are landing some nice fish beneath. Follow these offerings with a more selective pattern like small barrs emerger, or an RS2. Midges are becoming a major part of the trouts diet as we move into the cold months. Don't be afraid to swing a streamer! Small leeches, slump busters and woolybuggers are good ideas. Expect the warmest part of the day to be the most productive.
The fish have seen a lot of pressure this season and they are getting spooky. Use light tippet and longer leaders to avoid spooking fish. It’s now winter time in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Time to head to the tail waters. The fishing is fair. Clear skies and 40-43 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
