…Our 3rd try this season. Please see our May 2020 fishing report for more information. Due to our late opening, many trips from April and May were rebooked, as a consequence we are advising anglers to book a date asap. For those that are healthy and want to fish, please know that a distant wave […]

Please contact one of our Authorized Outfitters to review other Covid-19 updates. For those that are healthy and want to fish, please know that a distant […]
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. And Denver Water is not running water thru Roberts Tunnel because they don’t need the water in Denver. All of this contributes to […]
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 […]
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 support in 2019. We hope […]
We re-opened on 8-27-19 after being closed for 6 weeks due to poor water quality. The fish were well rested and ready for a fight. Just check out the photos….lots of fish….96 netted….. some of the bigger fish broke off. Most species were landed on Pheasant Tails / Mop flies and San Juan Worms. Emily […]
We are thrilled to announce that Boxwood is scheduled to re-open to outfitters and anglers on August 27th. 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 health and welfare of the […]
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 be by 9-1-19) Please schedule […]

Catching them during this hot weather is too much stress on the fish.We will return to our normal operation once Denver Water starts releasing cold water through […]
