The water is rising like crazy and the Colorado is clearly on its first stages of runoff. The fishing should still remain ok for a few days with big, bright nymphs and streamers. But I wouldn't expect lights out fishing. Big spring midges are hatching in clouds right now, in addition to the spring BWO's.
