Its Fall in South Park, and as is typical, there are strong days and tough ones on the reservoirs. Overall, bug activity has slowed with cooling water temps, however fish can still be had on Damsels, Chronomids and Streamers.
The reservoir is almost full, and clarity is good.

There are many fish on weed beds still, but the further we move into the Fall, the more we will see fish foraging. Our guides rig one rod with a static indicator rig, and the other with and intermediate sink head/ line. Your static indicator rig should focus on Chironomids, Damselflies and Callibaetis nymphs. If you run a second rod with a short sink tip or intermediate head, it is best to use small leech patterns in a dark red or olive coloration or a damsel imitation on a quick twitch.
As we've seen on Spinney, cooling water temps have affected bug activity negatively and made the fishing more inconsistent. Still, some great days can be had on Antero. Focus more on the Damsel lifecycle along with streamers.
The Lake is 3/4 capacity and clarity is good.

Most of the fish will be found foraging in groups near the weed beds, however fish can be found cruising all over the lake. Our guides rig one rod with a static indicator rig, and the other with and intermediate sink head/ line. Your static indicator rig should focus on Chironomids, Damselflies and Callibaetis nymphs. If you run a second rod with a short sink tip or intermediate head, it is best to use small leech patterns in a dark red or olive coloration or a damsel imitation on a quick twitch.
