Flow: 92
Water Temp: 43
The early bird gets it on the san juan worm. Weather forecasts
provided for a small window of quality fishing and with the help of a midnight Pueblo trout bum snack of green chili cheese fries I was up ...early. Boy howdy do I mean early. I hit the improved
structure below the Silverline bridge and was thoroughly impressed. As is
typical of this section it was browns four to one over rainbows with brows on the egg and ‘bows on the san juan. Big patterns in the morning moving smaller as it warms have been a staple this winter. What Pete Gallagher and Fin-Up Habitat Consultants, CPW and our chapter of TU have done is improving an already superb fishery. We have the best tail water in the state thanks to more river stewards than I can mention. In our little community we have a Zen Master, an Evil Genius, an infinite strider, a lady Fishologist and her husband the bald guy that have put the Steel City on the map. All these folks have put in the work to ensure our tailwater thrives. For the complete story stop in at the Drift fly shop or call your 24/7 guides at Steel City Anglers. We don’t have the retail shop but our phone rings all day and night. The increased traffic on the river has been a point of discontent for many locals but I’d rather have the notoriety when we need help and water. Come to Pueblo, spend a few bucks,
visit Colorado’s smallest fly shop and have fun in this community. We are here to serve you.
Tight lines,
Ben
