Fly Fishing at Bear Creek, Colorado
Rating: 1/5
Current River Conditions
December 3, 2024
Bear Creek is skinny and clear right now, which doesn't offer the best fishing. Midge dry flies are going to be your best friend with how low things are. Sometimes throwing on a light nymphing rig or jigged streamer can work in slower pockets and pools. The flow is minimal at best though and we'd recommend going to Clear Creek.
