Colorado at Pumphouse - 06/22/08

Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 5 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 2360cfs

Fishing from Pumphouse down to State Bridge has been very good. Wade fisherman around pumphouse and up into Gore Canyon have been having very good success on Salmonfly Dries. Float fishing has been very good as well with the big foam dries. Try evening floats and wade trips for the best dry fly action. Nymphing has been good throughout the day, and a Dry dropper set up is not a bad idea at all. HURRY AND GO NOW WHILE THE BIG BUGS ARE STILL AROUND!!! Don't let the increase in flow scare you away, as long as there is at least 12 inches of clarity those fish will feed on your big flies!
