Fly Fishing South Boulder Creek, Colorado
Rating: 4/5
Current River Conditions
December 3, 2024
South Boulder is in its winter mode, but fishing should be fantastic. Light nymphing rigs are the favorable rig, but euro rigs, or stripping wooly buggers can be equally effective. Fish the hard to access stretches and you'll find plenty of eager fish! Midges are the prominent hatch right now so don't expect to fish too many big nymphs.
