Fly Fishing at Clear Creek, Colorado
Rating: 3/5
Current River Conditions
March 5, 2025
The creek is pretty much wide open and the fishing is beginning to pick up. There still isn't a ton of sun in the canyon, so wear some layers, even on the nice days. Nymphing will be by far the most productive method right now. We advise fishing a small perdigon or weight egg as your lead fly, followed by a sz18-22 flashy midge pattern. Our favorite midge choices are flux capacitors, jujus, d-midge, and glass holo midge just to name a few.
