Colorado River - Upper - November 23rd, 2005
supplied by: Blue Quill Angler FISHING: Good
Flows: 125 Parshall
Clarity: Good
Water Temperature: High 30’s to Low 40’s
Major Food Organisms: Midges
Hatches: Midges
14 Day forecast: Look for fair to good fishing with tiny nymphs. Egg patterns will remain effective for the next two weeks.
Tips and Other Information: The Colorado River is fishing “fair to good” below Parshall. Flows are getting low producing some very technical fishing. Below the Williams Fork confluence, nymphing has been productive with a #22 Barr’s Pure Midge Larva dropped with a #22 Sparkle Wing RS II, and/or #20 Mercury Pheasant Tails. The brown trout spawn is winding down quickly, nevertheless, egg patterns will be effective for another two weeks in the post-spawn period. Anglers will find some sporadic dry fly fishing in the slow pools in the above the Sun Set Ranch on tiny midge patterns, as well as, the Parshall Hole. #26 Parachute Adams, and #22 Cannon’s Bunny Midge Cluster will fool these selective trout with regularity.
Effective Patterns: #16 Nuclear Egg, #18 Flashback Mercury PT, #18 Mighty Mite Baetis, #16-20 Dorsey’s Mercury Baetis, #18-20 Bead Head Buckskin, #20-22 Sparkle Dun, #16 Elk Hair Caddis, #20-22 Black Beauty, #20 Mercury Midge, and #20-22 Sparkle Wing RS II.
Cimarron River - July 30th, 2005
supplied by: The Reel Life FISHING: Good
till good, but pretty busy on weekends. Water flows are good below Eagle Nest Lake and fish have been responding heartily. Mayflies and caddis hatches daily.
The mighty Colorado River begins its 1,450 mile journey from the high peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park to the Gulf of California. The state of Colorado has over 150 miles to date of excellent public fishing on the Colorado River. Long riffles and fast whitewater along some of the Colorado's water range offers a perfect habitat for stoneflies. The 3 most prevelant species are the giant salmonfly, large golden stones, and yellow sallies. Look for the salmonfly hatch towards the end of May or 1st of June. March and April are great months to fish midges like the z-midge, biot midges, blood midges #18, and olive scuds.
Big Thompson River - May 10th, 2005
supplied by: Trout Trips RECORDED:72 °FISHING: Great
The Big Thompson River begins its journey on the east side of the Continental Divide in Rocky Mountain National Park. As the snow melts from the drainages in this area, the Big T picks up volume and begins its journey. The Big T can be fished as a small stream at Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park with 6-12" for cutthroats, brook, and brown trout. The Big T moves west into Lake Estes and from there, moves through Big Thompson Canyon towards the Loveland area. Our property at Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch offers great, WILD trout fishing with access to several trout lakes, one of which holds large rainbows.
Midges and bwo's are active. Grey Drakes will soon be coming on. #14 prince nymphs, bh fb hare's ears, adams, pheasant tails, jujubees, golden stones. Water levels are bumping up each day. End of May and first of June look for run-off. Water clarity off color below the town of Drake.
Eagle River - October 28th, 2004
supplied by: Gorsuch Outfitters FISHING: Good River Level Check the level of the Eagle River. The Eagle is low and clear. Fishing is good the entire way to Gypsum.
Hatches Midges, and BWO's Fly PatternsDRY: Much of the prolific dry fly hatches have slowed and fishing is much more productive nymphing. Try attractors like PMX16, Wulffs16-20, H&L Variant 16-20, Hoppers12-14 and other Terrestrials like the Fat Albert 10-14.
NYMPHS: Using very small nymphs almost like winter or spring fishing is the most productive way to fish on the Eagle River right now. Try patterns like Barrs Emerger 18-22, Zebra Midge Black and Tan 18-22, WD40 Brown 18-22, Blue Prince 18, Copper Bobs in a variety of colors 18-20, Disco Midge 20-24, Flash Back PT in Brown and Olive 18-22. Also, never forget about the 20 Incher pattern which will take fish any month of the year. We prefer the one's with rubber legs and a tungsten bead.
STREAMERS: In the past week streamers have become an effective way to catch fish in the local rivers. Autumn Splendor in a size 6 as well as the old favorite the Wooly Bugger has the fish on the feed.
TIPS: Try fishing a prince or aggrivator nymph of the back of your streamer for some unbelieveable action this Fall.

Gore Creek - October 28th, 2004
supplied by: Gorsuch Outfitters FISHING: Good River Level Check the flows on Gore Creek. Flows are low and clear right now. Hatches Many of the major hatches have slowed for the month of August. You may find some fish in the evening feeding on the surface. Nymphing is the most productive method this month. Fly Patterns DRIES: Try fishing any number of Hoppers and attractors in the fast water if you are committed to dry fly fishing.
NYMPHS: Copper Bob in Copper 18, 20, Black Copper Bob 18,20 Present Tails 16, 18 any number of attractor nymphs like Prince, Hares Ear, Pheasant Tails in 16-18. All of the midge stuff is starting to work well. Zebra Midge 20, 22 , Small Pheasant Tails 20, 22, Prince Nymph no bead 18, 20 etc. During this time of year try fishing a tungsten beaded fly and a non beaded fly for effective nymphing.
TIPS: Try fishing in the small pockets created by the big boulders with short casts and heavy flies. You will be surprised at the water some fish will sit in.
The best fishing is from the confluence of Red Sandstone Creek to the confluence with the Eagle River.
