Fly Fishing the Eagle River, Colorado
Rating: 4/5
Current River Conditions
October 21, 2024
The Eagle is flowing about its annual average, but is certainly fish well right now. Fall BWO's, midges, and sporadic red quill hatches will keep the fish more than occupied and happily feeding all day. Take advantage of it! Cloudy days will yield some great streamer bites as well.
