| Boulder Creek |

Boulder Creek continues to fish very well. Anglers have been having the best success between the mouth of the canyon and Boulder Falls. The water levels are just about perfect. These flows allow anglers to cross and walk around the pocket water very comfortably. Typically a dry dropper rig will be the most effective way to fish the creek. Something very enticing like a PMX with a smaller bead head dropper off the back work very well during the middle of the day. For the morning and evening hatch take time to tune into what is coming off and do your best to match the hatch. Lately the Caddis have been hatching in strong numbers. Fish the full life-cycle and make sure to hit every pocket! |

Finally SBC has a good flow in the river and the fish are feeding heavily on well presented flies. This has to be the best fishing that SBC has had all season. Walker Ranch has been fishing very well and has been seeing a bit more traffic because of that. Park at the lot closest to the damn and take a short walk downstream for a few minutes and start fishing back up to the car. At this flow you should be able to cross in most places allowing anglers to fish all potential water. The beatis are coming off still, but the real action is in the Caddis flies. Fish dry dropper or just do some light nymphing with double caddis and have a great day on SBC. |

The early months on the Big T can be some of the best angling opportunities of the year. The summer crowds have not moved in yet, the fish are feeding on a variety of different hatches and the weather is just perfect. There are few things more rewarding than landing a nice wild rainbow or brown on small flies with super light tippet. Often times the best fishing occurs during cool overcast days with little wind. Take a look at the forecast and pick your day wisely. The BWO are still hatching with regularity, but anglers should focus their attention on the Caddis that are starting to show up in the air and are in great numbers under every rock. |

Clear Creek canyon along US 6 from Golden to Idaho Springs is one of the best places to spend a day chasing wild trout. There are plenty of great pullouts between the first tunnel and tunnel 6. Some of my personal favorite water is the water up and downstream of tunnel 4. There is typically a bit less traffic on these stretches and there are good populations of browns and rainbows. In the canyon Caddis, BWO's, and Stones are dominating the bottom of the rocks. Fish a dry dropper to effectively cover the life-cycle of these bugs. We are starting to see a good population of hoppers coming out as well! Fishing upstream of Georgetown can be very productive as well. Smaller creek fishing and typically smaller wild fish is the norm in the upper stretches. Plenty of solitude and good scenery make this an easy choice for anglers. |

Creeking at its best! |

First signs of spring are showing up in the Park. Low valley rivers like the Big T and Fall river are open and fishing very well. Upstream on the T near the fern lake trailhead is fishing very well. But, the fish are spooky due to the low water, but they sure are hungry this time of year. Lilly lake is ice free and lower lakes like Dream lake are just starting to crack. Hitting ice out on high country lakes can be a crap shoot, but often times it offers some great fishing. |

On the Rise! |

There is a lot of snow up in Indian Peaks currently. That does not mean that fishing opportunities do not exist. Anglers will find open water and super hungry fish. Ice is coming off of Brainard lakes slowly. Gross reservoir is fishing great for those anglers who want to go and have some fun beating up on tons of small 8-12 inch rainbows. Head over to the inlet to find some larger fish hanging around the lake and up into South Boulder. |

This time of year Chartreuse and Black streamers crawled along the bottom will find hungry bass. Carp are starting to curse the shallows and will take small fly offerings. Head down to Boulder Reservoir in search of Walleye. Chartreuse and white is the best color combination for catching these great game fish. Union res the Wiper have started to move around and many anglers are catching them with chert/white or olive/white clousers. This is a great time of year to be out on the water!

It will be one of the more memorable days you will have on the water that season.
