Low Water Fishing on the South Platte River

As I write this the Dream Stream is at 34 cfs and Deckers is at 51.   The low water will effect the fishing and the way to you should approach the fish.  Despite the low water, fishing on the Platte still remains good.  Midges and BWOs are experiencing strong hatches.  This weekend my clients were able to get into some great fish by slinging nymph rigs into the deeper runs and riffles.  We were also able to get some fish to eat Dries.  The past week has been cold and find fish on the stillwaters has been challenging.  However, the fish that we have gotten into have been worth the wait.  With weather warming up, expect the lakes to fish better and better.  The recent snows have really helped our statewide snowpack and I am expecting a great year.  If you would like to book a trip to chase some big reservoir trout or learn streamside how to approach fish during these lower water periods, give me a call or email me.  Below are a few pics from recent trips.  719-494-6480  Tere5643@gmail.com

 

Great Start to Spring

Spring is officially here and the fish seem to know it.  Spring is without question one of the best times to catch big trout and big numbers of fish on the South Platte River. Today I had the pleasure of guiding Rob and his daughter on the North Fork of the South Platte.  In just a half day we landed close to 50 fish!   Several of which were of great size or wonderful color.  With water levels low, we were able to sight fish the whole morning and force feed some of the big fish that call the North Fork home.  In other news, if you are heading to South Park be ready to fish with other anglers.  Crowds have been VERY heavy in recent days.  If you would like to book a trip to catch some of these great spring trout, whether on public or private water, give me a call at 719-494-6480 or email me at Tere5643@gmail.com and I would be happy to set up a trip.  Here are a couple pictures from today.
