Fishing & River Report

CFS : at Cheesman canyon dam - 55

CFS : at Trumbull below brush creek - 80

Water condition : Crystal clear, temps in the 40s

Water is low and fishing can be a little tricky right now, but with patience and hard work you will be rewarded with some nice fish!Nymphing has been the best way to target fish recently but the afternoon has had plenty of dry fly opportunities if you look in the right water type. Small flies are the name of the game. Midge, baetis and a few egg patterns are whats on the menu. Streamers when the light is low can be really good, think cloudy days or sunrise/set. The spawn is starting to die down but we've still seen a handful of browns spawning along the south platte, please watch your step when wading to avoid stepping on redds and NEVER fish to fish sitting on redds!
