Fly Fishing at Clear Creek, Colorado
Rating: 5/5
Current River Conditions
August 24, 2024
WARNING: PLEASE keep an eye on water temperatures and quit fishing once it hits 65. Air temperatures and low rainfall lately has caused hot conditions that are harmful to trout if caught. Have a thermometer and check water temperatures every hour once it's 10:30am.
As the water has been dropping, the fishing has been picking up! Dry flies and hopper-dropper rigs have been conducive with these flows, but nymphing has also been working very well. Our top flies right now are worms, perdigons, Hare's Ears, small stoneflies, zebra midges, micro chubbies, elk hair caddis, and more-or-less hoppers.
