Colorado River –
Flow: 1,920 cfs/Glenwood Springs
Conditions: Much improved over the past week with the cooling trend in the weather. The streamer bite has been pretty good lately – best colors have been black, olive, brown and yellow. Mornings have been solid with overcast midday bites possible. As far as bugs go, we’re still seeing a mixed bag of stoneflies, PMDs, BWOs, caddis and terrestrials like hoppers and ants. The Chub/Rub or Hopper/Dropper rig is good on certain banks though we’re mostly nymphing the deeper, faster water midday.
The fly shop is loaded to the gills with a ton of new fly tying merch, new rods and reels, new logo apparel and so, so much more. Swing by and help support your local independent fly shop!
Our guides know the Colorado River intimately – let us give you the highlight of your vacation!
