The South Fork of the Rio Grande: Is holding fairly level & clear, great dry fly and dry/dropper fishing. The guides fish it often and been doing very well.

Pagosa Area Lakes: The Lakes are fishing great, the added cloud cover, cooler days, and refreshers of rain, have the trout feeding heavily. Dry fly fishing!!! Bass & Carp fishing has also been great.


Piedra River

Current Status: GOOD
Reported: August 29, 2010 at 01:10 PM

The Piedra is at good dry fly fishing flow,with a little color lower down the drainage, but the Upper River and Forks are clear. Seeing stones and mayflies all over the river. Fishing has been good, starting to see hoppers, using lots of dry-dropper rigs. Fish larger dark streamers & large dark stonefly nymphs, in the main river during murky water conditions, or in deeper faster pools. The main river flows and color have up & down daily from isolated rains in parts of the drainage. Please call the fly shop for most up to date reports.


Wolf Creek Area Waters - Pagosa Springs & South Fork, CO

Current Status: GOOD
Reported: August 29, 2010 at 02:07 PM

Pagosa Springs Area: It looks to be that the Monsoon Season is not over yet... Most all moving waters are either holding level or slight rise and colored up in some areas. The San Juan in town is full and muddy, we have had several heavy rains, so river is fluctuating every few days . Around Pagosa there are, BWO’s, PMD’s, Tan Caddis hatching. Above Pagosa on the Weber Ranch, can be better conditions due to it is higher up in the drainage, mainly nymphing & dry/dropper fishing. Upper river fishing great, & should get better everyday. Terrestrial fishing has also got much better.

Williams Creek:Is fishing good. BWOs, caddis, PMD’s & yellow sallies hatching. Look for trico’s in the AM.

Turkey & Fourmile Creeks: PMD’s, BWO’s, Little Sallies and caddis still coming off as well!

All the Pagosa Lakes are fishing well. Morning and evening fishing the best. Dries for trout, warmwater species very well most the day.

Piedra River is also fluctuating in certain sections every few days or even throughout the day like the San Juan. Mayflies when cloudy, and in the mornings & evenings, been fishing very well, hoppers action is good, a lot of dry-dropper rigs. With rains up high the Piedra can have some color, try large dark streamers & large dark stonefliy nymphs in murky areas or deeper pools. Forks & tribs are all fishing much better mainly dry fly fishing.

South Fork Area: East side of the pass fishing is good all moving waters. Rio Grande is holding fairly level, and clear. The Rio is fishable/floatable and hatches we have PMD’s, Yellow Sallies, Golden stones. Dry fly fishing had slowed down but getting fish on nymphs now, and terrestrials(hoppers, ants, etc..) has got much better. Floating & fishing has been fantastic.

Beaver Crk, Park Crk., Pass and the South Fork of the Rio Grande, are level or dropping, and clear. The guides & shop staff have been fishing all these creeks with excellent results.

La Garita, Embargo, Alder, and many other smaller creeks in the South Fork area are at good flows, clear, fishing well, Dry Fly Fishing!

Big Meadow, Beaver, Shaw, Road Canyon, Rio Grande, Regan, Crystal & Poage Lakes. Fishing has been excellent-good on all of the lakes. Beaver is tough water is very muddy, dangerous wading, and no boat access.

Conditions have been changing almost daily in many area waters, especially on the west side of the divide. But, looks as if we are going to have great water conditions for Sept into winter. Should be fantastic Fall Fishing year.


Rio Grande Box Canyon-Creede

Current Status: GOOD
Reported: August 29, 2010 at 01:12 PM

They just dropped down the flows out of the reservoir. Nymphing larger dark stones, with a smaller flashy bead head will still produce fish. Dry fly fishing should get better with lower, clearer flows.


Conejos River

Current Status: GOOD
Reported: August 29, 2010 at 01:13 PM

Goldens, Caddis, and Yellow Sallies hatching! Should fish very well, but you know how the Conejos is, definitely has its slow moments!
River is just about perfect conditions now, with good flows throughout the whole drainage.

E. Fork of the San Juan has been up & down with flows & color every few days. Please watch out for afternooon showers as the flows rise quickly & murk up with enough rain.
