Fishing & River Report

CFS : at Cheesman canyon dam - 147

CFS : at Trumbull below brush creek - 170

Water condition : clear

There's been a good hatch of Baetis and Tricos most days around 10-11am recently. We are also still seeing some PMDs and caddis throughout the afternoon. Dry fly fishing can be really good during the hatch, look for rising fish in tailouts and back eddys. Nymphing is consistent all day long, we recommend keeping your flies discreet right now. A simple pheasant tail or hare's ear nymph in size 18-20 has worked great as a lead fly! Behind that throw one or two small baetis nymphs or emergers, flies like Juju baetis, grey or olive RS2s, Barr's BWO emerger and Jiggity Jedis have been great. It's also worth mentioning that an egg can work really well in the right spot. We've seen the most success in faster riffles, runs and pocket water lately. But pay attention, if you see fish moving away from your flies take it off!
