July 18 Kyrstal 93 Colorado Fishing Report
July 18th, 2011
GOOD MORNING SUMMIT COUNTY, I’M ANDREW WITH THE COLORADO ANGLER AND THIS IS YOUR HIGH COUNTRY FISHING REPORT FOR MONDAY, JULY 18TH.
FOR THE MOST PART RAINSHOWERS HELD OFF OVER THE WEEKEND, HELPING OUR LOCAL RIVERS CONTINUE ON THEIR DOWNWARD TREND. THIS COMBINED WITH AN EVER DWINDLING SNOWPACK HAS MADE FOR A HUGE IMPROVEMENT TO RIVER CONDITIONS IN CENTRAL COLORADO.
THE ARKANSAS IS EXPERIENCING A GREAT CADDIS HATCH IN THE UPPER STRETCHES OF THE RIVER. FOR THE WADE ANGLER, FLOWS IN THE HAYDEN MEADOWS AREA ARE SLOWLY RETURNING TO LEVELS ALLOWING FOR WIDER ACCESS. AND IF THE CURRENT TREND CONTINUES, WE WOULD EXPECT FLOAT FISHING TO START RAMPING UP LATER IN THE WEEK. THIS IS GREAT NEWS AS THE COLORADO RIVER STILL APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE FURTHER FROM RETURNING TO A PRODUCTIVE LEVEL.
OVER TO THE WEST, CONDITIONS ON THE EAGLE ARE LOOKING UP AS WELL. GOOD REPORTS FROM RETURNING ANGLERS OVER THE WEEKEND INDICATE HUNGRY TROUT FEEDING WITH AGRESSION ON NYMPH RIGS FISHED ALONG THE BANKS.
AS ALWAYS, FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON THESE OPTIONS AND OTHER TIPS FOR FINDING FISH, COME BY AND SEE US AT THE COLORADO ANGLER IN THE SUMMIT PLACE SHOPPING CENTER IN SILVERTHORNE, NEXT TO BLUE MOON BAKERY OR GIVE US A CALL AT 970.513.8055 AND BE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.THECOLORARADOANGLER.COM FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION.
