Realistic Mysis by Devin Ence

I've seen a ton of Mysis patterns during my over twenty two years of the sport, but this one takes the cake!! Devin Ence is an up-incomming guide/angler working out of Conejos River Anglers. His youth and enthusiasm drives me too become a better angler. Below is an example of his realistic Mysis. Compaired to the real thing, I'd say it's pretty-good!! You can contact Deven at Conejos River Anglers. WWW.conejosriveranglers.com.

Currently the three major tail waters in Colorado with Mysis Shrimp are fishing good to great below the dams with Mysis patterns followed by smaller baetis nymphs and midge larva patterns #18-24. The Taylor, Fryingpan, and Blue River are all experiencing higher flows witch in turn means more Mysis Shrimp in the Rivers.

Bug Of The Month

MOTHRA'S RETURN!

Known to cause massive splatters-damage to car windshields when driving to your favorite destinations around the Rockies. Seen mostly at night, the only upside is that they startle anglers and keep them awake while on long nighttime road trips... On a more serious note; Salmon flies are hitting the Colorado and some of the other rivers within the Fly Currents Network. Around the corner are Green Drakes, PMD's and Trico’s. As water levels begin to recede and warmer weather hits the high country look for some epic bug activity and some great dry fly opportunities. As the conditions change we will strive to keep our members informed on current conditions around the Rockies. Remember to support local mountain Fly Shops that take the time and submit accurate information to the public.

Salmon Flies Are Comming/Here!!

Salmon flies are beginning on some rivers within the Fly Currents network. Below are some of the Guide/shop favorites. Hitting this hatch can be great as the so called, "B-52's" crash onto the water's surface. Hungry big trout will go out of there way too crush the surface to get one of these big bugs.

CADDIS, CADDIS, CADDIS!! Dry Patterns from Around The Rockies.

Moving into June, Caddis will become much more abundant along the Rocky Mountain Rivers and streams. If your like me, reading the recent reports and fly patterns is helpful, but some of the local fly patterns I’ve never herd of or seen. Below is a list of Caddis patterns that will help anglers identify and decipher some of the recent report patterns from local shops within the Fly Currents Network. Good luck on the water and tight lines.
