Fly Fishing the Eagle River, Colorado

Rating: 4/5

Current River Conditions

November 6, 2024

The Eagle is flowing about its annual average, but is certainly fish well right now. Midges are the only hatch nowadays, but fish are happily eating these tiny bugs. Nymphing will be your best friend right now, fishing small stoneflies, eggs, and midges would be our recommendation. Keep out for spawning fish, there are still plenty of spawners right now so be sure to leave them alone.
