Curtis Fleming and his group from the Fly rod Chronicles TV show fished/filmed for 2 days. His show will be aired this winter giving Boxwood/Long Meadow anglers a late look at some big fish landed in November during winter conditions. We had to close for the season a few days after the film […]

Denver Water is shutting off our water flow from Dillon Reservoir thru Roberts Tunnel. “They don’t need the water in Denver.” As a consequence our remaining natural flow will not be adequate for fly fishing. We will try to reopen in April when we have more water. Thanks for your […]
WOW….What a start for November. Larry landed this Trophy Boxwood Bow on a flying ant pattern that his guide, Nick, of 5280 Angler fame tied just for the trip. Imagine spotting this fish in gin clear water and then having it smash your floating ant pattern. Where else but at […]
We had great water all month. Thank you Denver Water. Anglers were able to spot and stalk fish like the one Scott landed with guide Jeremy Hamilton of 5280 Angler. Gin clear water and an experienced guide with some good luck produced quite a few trophy fish at both Boxwood […]
September was a month to remember at Boxwood. Many fish in the 10 lb. range were hooked and landed. Anglers also enjoyed landing some of the biggest Palominos of the year, as well as some stunningly beautiful Browns and Tiger Trout. Fish have been landed on nymphs, streamers and dries. […]

After our temporary seven week closure to protect the fish and angling experience at Boxwood, we are excited that additional water will be released from Roberts Tunnel. This additional cold clean water ensures the […]
The fishing was fantastic all through July until July 21 when we had to close due to poor water quality. We noticed the fish, once caught, did not recover from the stress of battle and others just shut down and refused to play. We figured the best solution was to just […]
This is necessary to keep our trophy fish alive. Catching them during these conditions is too much stress. We tried only fishing in the morning and that didn’t work. We will return to normal operation when Denver Water starts releasing water thru Roberts Tunnel. (Right now we think that will […]
