| Boulder Creek |
|
5.20.13 - The majority of Boulder creek is pretty dirty and moving fast. Upsize your flies and try something pretty flashy to attract attention. Perfect conditions for using some gnarly Stonefly nypmph imitations or big worm patterns. After dropping releasflows last week, Barker Reservoir is now about ready to spill over. They have increased the release significantly, so the section above the falls is very swift. Water clarity is OK, but still stained a little. Your best bet will be pocket water behind large boulders and some of the drops in Rogers Park. From the falls down, the water is moving extremely quickly, and wading is probably not an option anymore. |

| South Boulder Creek |
|
5.20.13 - South Boulder Creek continues to step up in flows and is around 350cfs right now. With those kind of flows, wading is going to be extremely challenging. Make sure to check the flows or call the shop before heading out, SBC is notorious for sporadic increases/decreases. You can also call 303-628-6510, to get notices about flow changes for the next day. |

Tricky wading! |
| Big Thompson |
|
5.20.13 - The Big T has been fishing well over the past few weeks with this most recent bump in flows around 100-150 cfs. Out of all the local rivers, the Big T has been the most consistent. The forecast over the next week should pop off some epic BWO hatches. Prepare your group in advance for cloudy, cool, and often windy days on the Big T. Stones and worms are effective when they are bumping the flows, but small beatis is the most consistent. |

Dry-Fly action is picking up |
| Clear Creek |
|
5.20.13 - Clear Creek has been all over the place recently, all the way up to 600 CFS, back down to its current 375. The water definitely has a stain, but it's not completely chocalate milk yet. The good thing, fishing it while on its way up can be great as long as clarity stays friendly. The bad thing, fishing it on its way down can sometimes be flat. Caddis have shown up in numbers and are effective on top, larva are effective on the bottom, but water temps are still keeping fish from eating on the swing. That should change as the forecast calls for some pretty warm weather going into Memorial Day Weekend. |

5.1.13 - Winter is still in full effect for the majority of the park. Some of the lower elevations sections are waking up, but it changes daily with the storms that have been coming through. |

No crowds! |

5.1.13 - Bring your ice ice pick and snowshoes! Everything is still very locked up with all the late snow we've received. |
