Colorado River –
Flow: 1,330 cfs/Glenwood Springs
Conditions: Fifth-Season! The lower elevation waters of the Colorado awaken first at this time of year. Midge hatches are daily occurrences now with good fishing following suit. We’re at the very front-end of the BWO hatch too. Random BWOs are being seen here and there but nothing in the way of a true, fishable hatch quite yet. By the end of the month, the BWOs will become the dominate hatch. Overcast days always yield the best fishing at this time of year so don’t fret if the weather isn’t playing nice. Stonefly and caddis nymphs are becoming increasingly important and serve as great attractor patterns. Streamer fishing is still slow but picking up a little bit with the warmer weather. Feel free to call us for daily river conditions 970.963.5741
