The Upper Colorado is at the time of year where you can just about anything you like. Hopper-droppers, nymph rigs, single dries, streamers, you name it and it's working! Flows are still on the higher side but we'll take it. PMD's, caddis, some yellow sallies, and a few golden stoneflies are what's hatching right now. Anticipate most of your action to come from PMD's and caddis. Our float trip partner, Colorado River Outfitters, has been doing fantastic on their recent floats on the Colorado. Give us a call and we can get you scheduled for a float trip!
