Flow: 79
Water Temp 61.5-67
Fall temperatures are beginning to stave off the afternoon high water temperatures. In the next few weeks we’ll start seeing our bigger trout come to life. Recent days have offered technical fishing with limited results. Of course for the Arkansas River tailwater that means 10-20 fish days. Today produced a trifecta (rainbows, browns and a very lovely smallmouth). Even though the angling has been slower we have witnessed some key events that testify to our home waters health. One of which is a BWO hatch on par with any Colorado river I’ve ever seen. We made it through the high summer heat and are getting ready for a spectacular winter.
Join us October 27^th for “Where the Yellowstone Goes”, a great independent film following a great bunch of folks floating almost 500 miles down the longest undammed river in the lower 48. The filmmaker will be there and afterwards we’ll hold a guide auction to benefit TU and ongoing river projects.

Hope to see you there and tight lines,
