Bear Creek River Report
Bear Creek River Report

Flows continue to rise as snow continues to melt with the warmer days, and water can be stained, or even murky. Despite this, often times fish have been feeding on smaller flies. Fishing pressure has been heavier in the main pull offs, so we recommend the smaller pulloffs, which generally produce better with less picky fish. Midges, BWO's and Caddis will be your primary hatches.
...
For dries, use a Micro Chubby, High Viz BWO, Peacock Cluster, Dry Humper, Parachute Adams, Roza's Red Butt Caddis, Superman Caddis, and a Hippy Stomper.
...
For subsurface presentation use a Lil Bit, Jujubee Midge, Juju Baetis, Rainbow Warrior, Prairie Doggin' Pupa, Spanish Bullet, Zebra Midge, Tung Poudre Pupa, a Cased Caddis, and a AR's Perdigon.
