Flows are ina. great Summertime range on the Dream Stream and bug activity has been strong for several weeks. This will be really good for the fishing, as fish will find better feeding lies and the bugs will really begin to kick on with warmer temps as well. Late June and Early July can be awesome...so try to get some days in!
Flowrate above Elevenmile Reservoir: 247 cfs
Clarity: Clear to Stained
There are more bugs around on all sections of the South Platte now. In addition to continued Midge and BWO activity, we're now seeing Tricos, Pale Morning Duns, Caddis and a handful of Yellow Sallies. Be prepared with all lifecycle stages, and with more water, be sure to use plenty of weight when nymphing. Leeches, Worms and and streamers are all in play now.

Flows are beginning to bump up with release now occurring on the Dream Stream. We'll see flows in the 200plus cfs range shortly in the Canyon, but conditions remain excellent. This will be really good for the fishing, as fish will find better feeding lies and the bugs will really begin to kick on with warmer temps as well. Late June and Early July can be awesome...so try to get some days in!
