I can’t ever remember the Gunnison River fishing this well—it is on unbelievable!! “Attractors” such as H & L Variants, Royal Wulffs, and Renegades have been moving lots of fish in riffled water that is 18-24 inches deep. Nymphing has been productive too, with a Barr’s Tung Stone trailed by a Sparkle Wing RS II. Lots of nice browns and rainbows averaging 13-15 inches. There is a nice baetis hatch every afternoon, and lots of fish are rising to these tiny blue winged olives. Streamers are also moving some nice browns on the lower river between McCabes and Turkey Creek.

Fraser River - August 27th, 2004
supplied by: Devil's Thumb Ranch RECORDED:54 °FISHING: Good
It is cold up in the Fraser Valley today, and it is supposed to continue for the weekend. This is great news for those streams whose water temps were up a little high in recent weeks. The Fraser has been fishing well with trico's and caddis coming off. I would suggest fishing streamers down in the Fraser canyon. Conehead Strawberry Kiwi's work well, as well as olive zuddlers. Most of us have been taught to fish streamers across and downstream. However, I find on the Fraser youll get 10 times more hits if you fish them upstream, keeping in mind the same principle of casting towards shore and stripping into currents. Fish also hang in small pocket water in the Fraser, a little different then in the mighty Colorado. Call for more info at 970.726.8231. Thanks.
Uncompahgre River - July 15th, 2004
supplied by: RIGS Fly Shop FISHING: Good Uncompahgre River: 284 cfs The river is clear and has dropped to a great fishing level! Use lots of weight and fish deep on the seams. There are occasional stone fly, yellow Sallies and caddis hatches, but the best bet is still to fish deep also try stimulators #12, #14 & #16 yellow and olive. Midges, emergers, caddis puppas and terrestrials are your best bet for nymphing.
San Miguel River - July 12th, 2004
supplied by: RIGS Fly Shop FISHING: Fair San Miguel River: 385 cfs Flows are starting to come down and clearing. It's time for dry flies & droppers! Try trudes #16, stimulators #14, and copper johns #18.
Spring has arrived at Boxwood Gulch and Longmeadow Ranch. The river flows are steadily increasing and the result has been excellent fishing. Fish are being caught all over each property with a few 21+ inchers being landed on each trip. Numerous brook trout are being caught up to 15 inches. Right now is a great time to book a day at Longmeadow Ranch or Boxwood Gulch.
Hot Flies : san juan worm, pink egg, black beauty 20, flashback pheasant tail 18, orange stimulators 14,
Farmers Union has been fishing well with a double nymph rig being the triumphant set up on the river. Fish are holding off the edges of riffles in the slower water. Look for warmer water and air temps to increase the quality of fishing.
Hot Flies: red copper john 16-18, bead head pheasant tail 18, pink egg, brown san juan worm
This is probably our hottest private ranch right now. Nice trout are being caught with double nymph rigs. Woolly bugger patterns are taking fish up and down the river. Any pattern with some white in it seems to do best. 40+ fish days are very realistic right now. Rainbows and browns make up the majority of the fish in this section of river.
Hot Flies: white zonker, olive bead nymph 16, bead headed red copper john 16-18,blue winged olive emergers 18-20
