Date:
July 27, 2008
Location:
South Platte River - private fishing
Call 303-325-5515 for availability
and bookings.
Number of Anglers:
6
Guide:
Tad Howard, Chris Galvin
Weather:
Beautiful Colorado day; warm, cooling off later in the day.
River Condition:
Water temps between 53-57.
High clear water, fair visibility, some good sight fishing on banks!
Report:
The South Platte is fishing very good, and it is a great time of year
to be on the water. Everyone caught fish, including rainbow,
brook, brown, cutthroat, and cut bow trout. Nymph fishing was
most productive in the morning, and afternoon saw a few big fish
coming up for DRY FLIES!
The fish were in the slower pools and on the banks, and were
actively feeding. A few came to the surface and ate dry flies,
including one very pretty cut-bow trout, but most of the action was
below the surface.
The South Platte and its tributaries should be very good all
summer and through the fall. There is lots of water in the high
country this year, and this should keep water temps cool and the
fish happy all summer.
As the water levels have stabilized we are seeing consistently
good fishing in the South Platte and its tributaries.
We are seeing some great action on some of the smaller creeks
as the water is dropping!
