Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 3 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 1110cfs

CADDIS MADNESS!!!! We received reports of swarms of caddis below Green Mountain Reservoir and fish feeding everywhere! We have been getting good reports from wade fishermen who are still catching fish below the dam even at these high flows. We believe that Green Mountain is spilling over, so the flows will remain higher for the next few days. GO FLOAT if you can!

Recommended Flies: Tung Teasers, 20 inchers, Barr's stonefly, Wire stone, hotwire caddis, graphic caddis, buckskin caddis, San Juan worms, swing caddis, hot butt caddis, Tungsten Hare's Ear Olive, North Fork Special, Mighty Mite, PT Cruzers, Wilcox Caddis, Rip Cord Caddis, Tungsten Z wing Caddis, Hot wing caddis

A NOTE ABOUT FLOATING JURASSIC PARK: We have been fielding quite a few calls about floating Jurassic Park. We are strong advocates of boaters rights and want you all to have a good time down there. We are also happy to provide FISHING information, flies and other tackle for this area. We do not however, float this section of river commercially nor do we run shuttles for private floaters; therefore, we do not feel comfortable providing information about boating it. The only boating advice we do feel comfortable giving is that there are several obstacles in the river that require strong oarsmanship, and that safe flows vary from boater to boater.
