March 12, 2013
Flow: 93
Water Temp: 45

The spawn is on, and off, and on.

We’ve been so busy I’ve neglected to celebrate the best day of the year. The one morning that shows promise for the coming season and the precious gift of time. I’m speaking of course of the beginning of daylight savings. Having the river
as my backyard means I now have two hours or more a day to give our readers the skinny on the water. We’ve been so busy with great guests that the opportunity
to get out is welcome (nine folks this week alone).
We’ve had so many changes in water temperature the spawning cycle varies widely from area to area. Full blown reds, pre spawn and post spawn rainbows are all over. Heavy equipment trundling down the river certainly didn’t help but it was a necessary evil. If you find actively spawning trout or ‘bows not feeding take a short walk and you’ll find better conditions. We’ve been fishing Colorado’s smallest fly shop’s standard fare with great success and all flies are $1.25 including tax. Visit the shop, patronize the Coyote Grill and see the great work the NCRP is doing.
Tight Lines,
Ben
