Fishing & River Report

CFS : at Cheesman canyon dam - 180

CFS : at Trumbull below brush creek - 190

Water condition : Clear, water temps in the mid to high 50s (perfect!).

Hard to beat fall fishing, good flow and water temperature have made things fun lately! We've seen good hatches of Baetis (BWOs) and some Tricos. Lots of dry fly opportunities mid-morning around 10. Keep your dry flies small, size 22-26. We've had good success with nymph and dry-dropper rigs. It's important to cover a lot of water, as some spots are fishing well while others aren't. We recommend targeting runs and pools in the morning, then shifting to riffles and pocket water in the afternoon. Egg patterns have been good lead flies, behind that throw a couple small baetis nymphs. Get out there and enjoy this nice weather!
