February through April:
This is a great time of year to ski our four world-class ski areas and
fish for trophy trout. The weather is warming up and the trout feed
well after a long winter. Large rainbow and cutthroat trout are in pre-spawn
and fun to spot fish. Midge and Blue Winged Olives provide good dry
fly action. The best rivers to fish are the Blue, South Platte, and
lower Colorado.May through June:
Get out your big rigs and don't be intimidated by high water. This is
great time to use stronger tippets, leaders and big flies (streamers).
Larger trout will feed freely, making them more accessible. The best
rivers to fish are tailwater for clear water.July through September:
Put away your nymphs and get out the dry flies! Prominent hatches of
Green Drakes, PMD's, Caddis, Tricos, Baetis and terrestrials provide
wonderful dry fly action. The Colorado high country weather is perfect
in the 70's and 80's with no humidity. Small mountain creeks provide
a true backcountry experience with low crowds. All our rivers will be
fishing great during these months.October through November:
These are the best months to be secluded on our rivers. The weather
is still warm, aspen leaves are changing and the brown trout are in
pre-spawn. Thrown streamers can produce huge browns up to ten pounds.
Blue Winged Olives, Tricos and midges create good dry fly action. Our
lower elevation rivers still have "summer" hatches. The water
levels are the most consistent at this time of year. Kokanne salmon
run up the Blue and South Platte rivers and can be fun on heavy nymphs
and streamers. The best rivers to fish are the Williams Fork, Colorado
and South Platte.December through January:
Bundle up and fish on sunny days. The fishing is still productive on
our tailwater rivers. Afternoon hatches on sunny days make for good
dry fly action with midges. The water levels will be low and clear so
stalking is imperative. Light tippets and small flies are a must to
fool winter trout. The best rivers to fish are below Dillon Dam on the
Blue, the South Platte below Spinney and the Williams Fork.
