Colorado Stream Update: Spring on the Yampa
Current Conditions at Yampa:
The Yampa is giving up some good days on the water both below stagecoach and through town. Nymph-rigs are the way to go. Depth is crucial but be sure to be mindful of tippet and fly sizes. Two-bits, princes, and Hare's ears are a good place to start. Trail a more selective fly off the back like an RS2 or BWO emerger. Get out and enjoy the Yampa before runoff officially hits.
The fishing is good. Partly Cloudy skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 48-51 degrees and Slightly Off.
