Report:
The South Platte has been fishing very well this spring with many spots to fly fish near Denver. Nymph fishing has still been the most
productive, but we have had some very good streamer fishing, as well as dry fly fishing with midge’s and BWO’s.
As the warmer weather moves into Colorado, expect stream flows to increase and the fly fishing to get even better as the water warms. The rainbows have started to spawn heavily so be very careful when wading not to disturb the nests.
Some of our smaller streams are starting to clear of ice, and the fishing is getting better on the smaller waters each day.
