St. Vrain Creek River Report
St. Vrain Creek River Report
5-23-2025
Flows are on the very, very slow rise, but still well below historical average. With the current snow pack situation, this is unlikely to change. However, the water is still very easy to fish, and not bad at all to wade in. Expect the tuber hatch to kick in this weekend, so a AM start will be your best bet, and with storms forecast, possibly the earlier the better. Hatches have been midges, BWO's, and Caddis.
...
For Dries, use a Micro Chubby, High Viz Quill Midge, AR's BWO Emerger, Borrof's Midge, Smoke Jumper, Superman Caddis, High Vis BWO, Foam Run Caddis, and a Hippy Stomper.

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.
