Fishing & River Report

CFS : at Cheesman canyon dam - 360

CFS : at Trumbull below brush creek - 505

Water condition : 2-3 feet of visibility, temps in the 50s.

We had a huge increase in flow this week bringing us to over 500cfs by the fly shop! And the fishing, well it has not disappointed. Nymphing is the way to go right now. A 3 fly rig with some combination of stoneflies, worms, scuds, leeches, caddis and some baetis nymphs will work. It's less about what fly and more about how good your presentation is and where you're fishing. In higher water the fish get pushed towards the bank, we caught most of our fish as soon as we got in or from the bank. Weight is also very important, make sure you have enough to get near or on the bottom! We always say, if you think you have enough weight double it!
