St. Vrain Creek River Report

9-9-2024

Flows have levelled out for the most part. The Vrain has still been producing, but be sure to carry a thermometer, and get off the water when the water temps hit 65 degrees. Dry droppers have been our go too, as it gives the fish a choice. Hatches have been Midges, PMD's BWO's and Caddis.

...

For Dries, use a Micro Chubby, Superman Caddis, High Vis Parachute BWO, NTN PMD, AR's BWO, Corn Fed Caddis, Mole Fly, Patriot, Daniel's Humpy, Para Extended PMD and a Hippy Stomper.

...

For nymphs, use a Flagler's LBS Nymph, Hun Caddis Pupa, BTS PMD or BWO, Tungsten Wonder Nymph (in BWO or PMD), Prince Nymph, Pandemic May in BWO, Jigged Buckskin, Pheasant Tail, Tungsten Prince, and FRA Frenchie.

Fly Fishing the St. Vrain

The creek is full of opportunistic fish that are eager to take a dry fly, so take advantage of the great caddis, blue wing olive and terrestrial fishing. The midges that call the St. Vrain home are active all year and are always a safe bet come the colder months of the year. This is a great chance to get out and test some of those midge patterns that you have been drooling over all winter. The Fishing in the town of Lyons can be fantastic.
