Plenty of action yet on the upper Colorado River to the Salmonfly, we’ll start with the stretch above Kremmling since that is the truest emergence still happening. There are still some decent numbers of adults scattered around from Sunset Ranch up to the top of Beyer’s Canyon, with the heavier numbers being in the canyon […]

Colorado River Salmonfly Hatch Update – Monday Morning June 16, 2014
Good Salmonfly action continues on the Colorado River in two different locations. The upper stretch, in the Parshall area up into Beyer’s Canyon continues to see an emergence that is reflective of a full on hatch. Good numbers of bugs remain present in the bushes and rocks adjacent to the river throughout the day, which […]

Salmonfly Update Sunday Morning – June 15, 2014
A relatively strong emergence of adult Salmonflies has emerged in the upper part of the river. The best concentration appears to be in the Beyer’s Canyon area, down to Parshall. Below the confluence with the Williams Fork, flows are much higher and colder, and we haven’t been able to find as good of a distribution of […]

Colorado River Salmonfly Update – Saturday June 14
The Big news today is the advancement of the hatch upstream to the more wade friendly water above Parshall. Yesterday we saw good numbers of adult Salmonflies in Beyer’s Canyon and below. More importantly, the fish were on ’em, with solid dry fly action in the afternoon. River levels are still high, with a 1,500 cfs reading at Hot Sulphur […]

Thursday on the river was another good day of fishing in places. There are still good numbers of adult Pteronarcys present in the stretch of river from Gore Canyon down stream towards State Bridge. However, we saw considerably fewer bugs in the wide open valley type terrain and much greater concentrations of flying Salmonflies in […]

Colorado River Salmonfly Update – Thursday Morning June 12, 2014
Wednesday saw a continuation of solid action on adult Salmonfly patterns, particularly in the afternoon. With good numbers of naturals still clinging to stream side willows and rocks, it appears as if there is still a decent amount of emerging insects coming out of the river daily. Again, it is nearly impossible to get a […]

The Colorado Angler Fishing Report – June 11, 2014
Report for June 11. It looks as if we may have hit peak run-off on most, if not all of our major rivers. While we may still see some up-tick in flows here and there, we do not think that we are going to surpass the levels already reached. This “peak”, seems to have […]

Colorado River Salmonfly Update – Tuesday June 10, 2014
Good numbers of Salmonfly adults remain present along the river from Gore Canyon down to State Bridge. It is hard to say how many nymphs remain ready to emerge, as flows are still too high to get a good survey of rocks against the banks. Monday saw a return to sunny skies and warming temperatures […]
