Flow: 330

Water Temp: 42-48

In the waning days of fishable flows and fluctuating flows we’ve seen some beautiful days and great guests on the tailwater. It is time for the Arkansas River to start pumping out irrigation flows and let some water out of lake. I can’t guess what this summer is going to look like but I can say for certain that the trout are doing well. Rainbows are on their redds but the spawn will be short lived with the dramatic increase in water we’re about to see. Enjoy these last few days on our remarkable tailwater. One of my last memorable trout sipped a 20 parachute adams connected to my gorgeous Douglas upstream 3wt. Hopefully the trout will get a good break in pressure and we’ll see a great return when the water drops. In the meantime have a wonderful Easter.

Tight lines,

Ben
