Current News

As we move towards the end of April run-off looms on every anglers mind. Below is a list of some rivers within the Fly Currents network that are experiencing pre-run-off conditions. The great thing about living along the Rocky Mountain Region is the number of great tail waters that fish well year round. If you’re favorite free-stone is experiencing Run-off conditions there’s always a tail water within striking distance. This year’s snow fall was epic in Southern Colorado and across the state. Great news to anglers and the region as a whole. Remember cloudy water only means throwing larger attractor patterns and less stealthy approaches. Until it’s actually mud you can still throw a line!! The Support from local area fly shops, owners, and guides has never been stronger. If you’re an avid angler or a seasoned pro Fly Currents is a one stop site where you can find great information on many river locations around the Rocky Mountain Region. As we move into our third year of being public we will continue to try and meet the overwhelming demand for accurate current information. If you’re a member or a shop guide interested in participating drop me a line at nickw@flycurrents.com . We are always looking to improve the information and the site to suite the public and the professionals affiliated with it.

Gunnison River: Currently experiencing run off conditions
Yampa River: Currently experiencing run off conditions through Steamboat
Upper North Platte: Cloudy, but any cold spell will clear the water up.
San Juan River: Cloudy and running high, but still fishable for the next couple weeks with larger patterns.
Lake Fork: Starting to rise, only a couple weeks left before it’s blown.
Blue River: 500cfs! There starting to open the floodgates, but it’s still fishing good to very good. With these high flows expect the big pigs to move downstream from the dam. We’ve also been getting good reports down river from Silverthorne and just above Green Mountain Reservoir.
Arkansas River: Still fishing good to great in the upper strain. It can get cloudy in the warmer afternoons, but fish will still hit the larger patterns.
Conejos: Flows were bumped today! This river is going to have an epic run-off, but the fishing has remained good to very good.
Eagle River: Keep your eyes on the flow! It’s still fishable, but the waters going up in a hurry!
Gore Creek: Same as the Eagle! Pay particular attention to the flows and call the shop(s) for water clarity.
Colorado: The lower Colorado is experiencing run off conditions, the upper Colorado will follow suite in the next couple weeks.
Green River: A great destination right now!! With flows steady at 800cfs and clear. Over the next couple weeks the river will fish good to great as the weather warms and bug activity starts to take off.

An update from other rivers within Fly Currents Network will be posted next week.
