Pricing includes professional instruction, all gear, and flies. Call us at 970-927-3441 ******* Late Spring with summer just around the corner. The Pan is still very low for this time of year as the Bureau tries to fill Reudi. The Run-off is close to peaking from the flows and the fishing on the Fork is good. The Colorado is also clearing and reports are good. A few drakes are already evident on the Colorado. Frying Pan With the flows at 118 cfs late spring conditions still prevail. There are caddis, bwo's and midges with early signs of PMD's. Recommended Flies:Use midges, bwos, PMD's and caddis. For mysis at the dam use Mike's Mysis. epoxy mysis, and BDV mysis. The midges will come off during the day, particularly if it is sunny. So try Wilson's Reverse Candy Cane #20, red and black chironocones #20, nick's larva in miracle pink, olive, and purple back, brassies #18 - #22, midge larva patterns #18 - #22, copper johns #18 - #22, rainbow warriors, black polywings #18 - #22 and bling midges # 18 - #22. The fish are taking generic nymphs such as pheasant tails and caddis larva patterns. The BWO's are coming off as well. Try emerger patterns such as rs2's and WD-50's. For BWO naturals use standard BWO's, parachute BWO's, parachute Adams, and Thorax patterns. Roaring Fork Current Flow: near Emma - 1000cfs (if you want more uptodate figures check out current readings on our "Links" page). The runoff has topped out over the last week and the conditions on the Fork are excellent. Try attractors. Try small baetis such as the FPA Sparkle Baetis, the FPA Thorax Emerger, and black pheasant tails have also worked well. For emergers, the rs2 in black or gray. Also the sparkle wing rs2. The caddis are about and the drakes will soon be in evidence. For small flies, copper johns, pc phlash, mercury rs2's, pheasant tails, bubble back bwos.
The Colorado has topped out and though high the water conditions are good.
