Fishing Report:

Execellent  winter fishing conditions right now, get out and take advantage of the warmer weather.   More open water then I can remeber for this time of year!  Sight nymphing deeper slower runs and swinging midge emergers is producing well.  Keep the tippets and leaders light and long.  Midges are the hatch of choice right now.  Best fishing is mid dayfrom about 11am to 4 pm.  Wade fishing the Eagle is the best trip for this time of year.

7 of 10 Below Glenwood Springs

Report:

The Colorado below Glenwood Springs is the best bet this time of year. Ice from Pumphouse to Dotsero right now.  We are Floating the lower C on full day trips and have had some good fishing!  Warmer weather combined with the lower elevation makes for a enjoyable day on the water.  Some reports of good dry fly fishing below Glenwood Springs in the mid day.    Nymphing is going to be the most productive now.  The Browns are in full spawn so please respect their program.  Looks like good fishing opportunities over the couple of weeks, call now and let's hit the water!

Fishing Report:

Great time to fish the Gore for those of you who can figure out her little secrets.  Open water from the vail golf course to west vail!  Sighted several browns still spawning (BE CAREFUL). Nymphing long light (7X) leaders and tippets are a must.  Some mid day dry/dropper midges rigs are also working depending on where you are fishing (ENOUGH SAID) The gore is best fished mid day and fished much like a small tailwater.  Fish from the bank if possible.  The area at the vail Golf course is offten overlooke but fishes very well.   The Gore is pretty much a year around midge factory.  Sight fishing is the key to getting into the larger fish, staying out of the water is the best approach.  A great fishery for the single fishernan who likes the tailwater tactics without the tailwater crowds.

8 of 10 Below Carbondale

Fishing Report:

Some of the best fall/winter days can be spent on the Roaring Fork and Frying Pan Rivers, lower elevations mean longer warmer days.  Wade or float fishing is always an option down valley.  Good Midge hatches right now,nymphing and some mid day dry fly action depending on what part of the river you are on. Full day wades Carbondale down to Glenwood offer some fantastic opportunities for big Browns and Rainbows.  We are floating the lower Fork right now and the fishing has been very productive.

 The road into the Yampa tailwater is closed until April 15th for Elk calving.  Bring your 6X Flourocarbon and a goog selection of Midges and BWO's and a few San Juan Worms (did'nt here that here).  A fun place to sight fish large smart fish (some days they are'nt that smart, go figure).  Hiking down to the Sarvis Creek area can be well worth the walk(about a 1/4 Mile) Get there earlyto get your spot.
