Flow:  395 To 480 CFS

Water Temperature:  63 Degrees

This is a special trip for me, I have been a member of PPF (Pikes Peak Flyfishers) for over 20 years.  This is the best fly fishing club I have ever been a member of.  We have donated a trip for their annual auction since Steel City Anglers was formed.  Steve and Rob were a kick to guide.  It is not often that we guide experienced fisherman and it was a whole lot of fun. 

The fishing conditions were the worst you can imagine!  The water was brown/green flowing at 395 CFS to start and went up a hundred cfs while we were on the water.  We had 20 MPH winds gusting to 40 MPH and a falling barometer.  The only bugs that worked all day were an Olive Hares Ear and a Blue Copper John both size 18.  We landed only one in the Hundred Yard Run and the rest in the Flag Hole.  We are just a little over a month from winter storage and clear conditions!   Trips are booking for October so give us a call the conditions are improving.
