Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 3 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 169cfs

Colorado's newest "popular" tailwater continues to produce. Crowds have diminished and the fishing is good year round down there. The inversion makes for some nasty cold mornings in this spot, but by early afternoon it's game on!

Flows are low making for easy wading, but be careful walking in as the trail is steep and gets tricky with snow in the equation. Vibram soled wading boots are helpful.

Nymphing tungsten beadheads, BWO nymphs, and red or black midge patterns should produce right now. Most reports have been fair to good with the following;

BIG beaded Tung Teasers, Golden Stones, and Prince nymphs, Tungsten Flash Bug, BLM Red, Blach Beauty, Johnny Flash, Disco Midge, Barr’s Emerger, Rainy’s Real Meal, JuJuBee Midge.
