St. Vrain Creek River Report
St. Vrain Creek River Report
5-9-2025
Flows are atill below historical average, but still rising. Fish are starting to move around more, so check pocket waters and smaller pools as well. These often recieve less fishing pressure as well. We have also noted that with the warmer water temps, fish have been holding in some faster water than in cooler watersheds. Hatches have been midges, BWO's, and A LOT of Caddis.

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.
