A few drakes starting to show through Walker Ranch. Look for August to bring excellent hatches to this section of South Boulder Creek.

Expect to see all kinds of bugs like Pmd’s, Caddis, Yellow Sallies, Drakes and Red Quills all on the menu . It’s getting good down there. Stop by the shop to get kitted for SBC!

Big Thompson Update: It’s Hopper Dropper season! Flows in the Bud T are sitting around 140 CFS, which is the perfect time to get in there before the runoff really kicks in. Try a Chubby Chernobyl or a Hippie Stomper in size 14-16 and a small Perdigon or Duracell hanging under it. Other great flies in their right now are emergers in 18-22, parachute Adams 18-24, Griffiths Gnat 20-24, Blue Poison Tung, Zebra Midges, and Darth Baetis in size 18-20. Stop by the shop for the most up-to-date info on the Big Thompson and other local streams!

Boulder Creek Update: early signs of runoff have been hitting the creek. The color has been slightly off and the flows have been creeping up. Still a good time to get in below the falls and fish a dry dropper rig with a leech or annelid beneath. We have been seeing hoppers around the creek! Stop by the shop for the most up to date report on the creek and the rest of the front range.

Clear Creek Update: The ice is off and the fishing is heating up. The canyon is sitting around 110 CFS and a little off color, but that isn’t bothering the fish. A lot of dry fly eats on the micro chubby in size 16 and parachute adams in size 18-20. Running a dry dropper with the micro chubby and a small midge like a zebra midge or poison tung was very effective. Stop by the shop so we can hear you up!

Due to the snowfall last night, we will postpone the creek cleanup. With 6 inches on the grass, poor visibility in the creek , and snow still coming down, we will push the creek clean up to a date with better weather. Should have alternate date by this Monday.

Still here if you want to come get your license or cast a new Scott rod!

Boulder Creek has been firing off lately! The dry dropper rig has been very effective recently, with a couple of big dry eats.

Stop by the shop to get the most up-to-date information on Boulder Creek!
