Fishing/catching has remained excellent at both Boxwood and Long Meadow. Guides are reporting Caddis hatching at Long Meadow so some fish are being taken on the surface. Flows have been consistent with 380 cfs through Roberts Tunnel, from Lake Dillon, and 90-100 of natural flow. Our water is gin clear which provides lots of sight […]

Anglers — We are sorry for the delayed opening but we just don’t have enough water. It’s still very cold at higher elevations and the snow melt has been slow to get started.

We were anticipating being able to open in April but now that seems too early.There is lots of ice and snow and we don’t know when Denver Water will start running water from Dillon Reservoir through Roberts Tunnel. We do feel confident that no matter what Denver Water does Mother Nature will provide enough snow […]
