Fishing on the Saint Vrain has been most productive in town and through Meadow Park. The lower elevation sees earlier bug activity than the canyon stretches higher up. The North fork is starting to be more productive below ButtonRock, but still tough conditions for some(low and clear). The South Fork is only starting to wake up, and may need a few weeks of sun and warmth to turn on. Keep it from Button Rock back towards town for now. Small streamers have worked in deeper pools and runs. Fish are stacked into deeper stretches, while skinny water isn't holding too many fish now. Light nymph rigs with small midges and stones have done good, especially mid day. Dry fly fishing has really picked up over the last week and we are seeing the first olives mixing in with the midges. Small terrestrials are already working as well. The Vrain is another small stream close to the front range with a good pre run off window of opportunity. Fishing can be good through Lyons and east to Longmont as well. Try the access through Golden Ponds this spring.. Small leeches and san juans work well closer to town, and along the front range. Overnight lows are keeping it chilly up the canyon. Try to keep it closer to town if you don't see any bugs. Warm stretches will fish best, cold and snowy days may be a little tougher.

The Ultimate Fly Fishing Report
Casting a fly in a tranquil mountain stream, feeling the tug on the line, and holding a beautiful rainbow trout makes us feel alive and intensely connected with nature. Fly fishing is our way of life and we are blessed with hundreds of nearby rivers and streams just a short distance away from Boulder. From the swift spring waters of the Clear Creek to the meandering bends of the South Platte, it's critical to consider fishing conditions in advance and prepare accordingly. We rely on our experienced guides who venture into the wild to let us know which rivers favor fly fishing, where fish are biting, and which fly patterns are most effective. Planning a successful fishing trip also requires knowledge of stream flows at various river points and an accurate weather forecast for a given destination. At Rocky Mountain Anglers, we are dedicated to providing all avid anglers with detailed and timely information about hatches, water, and weather conditions. So before you head out the door on your next fishing adventure, visit our web site to find valuable information that will prepare you for a successful trip. Have fun chasing after your next trophy trout and enjoy nature's beauty! The Rocky Mountain Anglers Crew
