The highest flows of the year on SBC happened recently, but she appears to be dropping. The flow around Pinecliffe has been over 1000cfs recently, but seems to have come down quite a bit over the last couple days. Look for the fishing to still be difficult at both Pinecliffe, and the Gross tail water, as long as flows are above 400cfs. Fish the edges and any softer water you find. Stones and san juans are working good all over SBC, and mysis are good below Gross. Gross is rising fast, and should be full within a week, plenty of water this year. The most fishable stretch for the next couple weeks is from East Boulder Rec Center upstream to the Marshall road trailhead for the SBC trail. The flat land topography, allows the water to settle a bit, not to mention that the flows are always slower the farther downstream you go on SBC....irrigation and Arvada water needs. Crayfish patterns as well as caddis, san juans, and stones are the best patterns out east for now. Large pheasant tails and copper johns have been good as well. Hopper dropper in a couple weeks when it comes down a bit.

The Ultimate Fly Fishing Report
Casting a fly in a tranquil mountain stream, feeling the tug on the line, and holding a beautiful rainbow trout makes us feel alive and intensely connected with nature. Fly fishing is our way of life and we are blessed with hundreds of nearby rivers and streams just a short distance away from Boulder. From the swift spring waters of the Clear Creek to the meandering bends of the South Platte, it's critical to consider fishing conditions in advance and prepare accordingly. We rely on our experienced guides who venture into the wild to let us know which rivers favor fly fishing, where fish are biting, and which fly patterns are most effective. Planning a successful fishing trip also requires knowledge of stream flows at various river points and an accurate weather forecast for a given destination. At Rocky Mountain Anglers, we are dedicated to providing all avid anglers with detailed and timely information about hatches, water, and weather conditions. So before you head out the door on your next fishing adventure, visit our web site to find valuable information that will prepare you for a successful trip.
