Colorado Stream Update: The Yampa is giving up some good days on the water
Current Conditions at Yampa:
The Yampa continues to fish well through the first sights of winter. With night temperatures dropping, expect fish to be slow in the mornings. 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 good place to start. Trail a more selective fly off the back like an RS2 or BWO emerger. Please do not fish to trout on Redds or showing clear spawning behavior.
This is one of the best times of year to be on the water! 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. The days are getting shorter and the weather is drastically cooling down. Winter is around the corner and soon you can have the Frying Pan and the Taylor all to yourself! The fishing is good. Clear skies and 44-47 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
