Flies & Lies Fishing Report 01/16/2025
CFS : at Cheesman canyon dam - 205
CFS : at Trumbull below brush creek - 230
Water condition: Clear, temps in the low 40s.
Despite cooler temps fishing has remained good recently, flows increased to 205cfs yesterday which is great for winter! Cheesman canyon, Y-camp road and Trumbull sections have fished the best for us. Fish are glued to the bottom right now, get your nymphs down low and focus on getting a good drag free drift! Streamers are a great way to "clean up" a hole after you nymph it and usually yield a few bonus fish. The lower river from Scraggy view down has quite a bit of shelf and floating ice, we do not recommend fishing this section currently. Crowds have been light lately, even in the Canyon!
