The Spring run off has brought the Eagle up consierabaly in the last 2 days conditions from above Minturn to the confluence of the Colorado are tough.. Nymphing Midges, eggs, BWO and Stonefly patterns are working best. Good BWO hatches during mid day to evening.. Look for increased Caddis activity as the week warms up, should see some good dry fly action. The Eagle is ice and open from above Avon to the confluence. There is dirty water coming in at Milk creek (Wolcott) on warmer afternoons.
