Flow: 356
Water Temp: 59
While a number of Colorado’s rivers are less accessible the tailwater on the Ark is fishing awesome! It’s hotter than a two dollar pistol but the rewards can be incredible. Our source in high places says the flow isn’t likely to change much unless there’s a big call for irrigation. Fishing has been fast and furious nymphing meat and potatoes at large trout. The water is off color with the lake turning over so 4X will help from overtaxing trout in the heat. I’m also going place my bet that shortly we’ll be seeing a large number of guides become instant experts on the Pueblo tailwater. Don’t let these city slickers fool you. The expertise of those that live, play and fish daily in the 8100 zip codes is hard to beat. Hire locally for the best fly fishing adventure.
Tight lines,
Ben
