Fishing has been great on the Colorado, with dries, nymphs, and streamers all producing. BWO's, midges, and caddis are hatching throughout the system, with this it has brought a lot of fish to the surface! Depending on where you are you might see some slightly stained water, but for the most part the water is fairly clear.
