Fly Fishing the Eagle River, Colorado
Rating: 4/5
Current River Conditions
March 5, 2025
The Eagle is flying under people's radars right now. The fishing is hot! Nymphing and small streamers has been the best choices, but if there's rising fish you should absolutely throw a dry. Midges will continue to be the best option right now, but look in the coming weeks for BWO's to start appearing. Keep an eye out for spawning rainbow trout and please leave them alone, as well as the redds!
