August and September offered terrific fishing at Boxwood Gulch and Long Meadow Ranch! Anglers enjoyed clear water and average flows around 300 cfs. Sight fishing with various nymphs such as eggs, small soft hackle patterns, green copper johns, hare’s ears, sowbugs, and pheasant tails has been the most effective technique. On some days, anglers have […]

Annabel landed this Boxwood Bow in Mid August while being guided by Marcello from 5280 Angler. I don’t know for sure but I bet it was fooled by a streamer … black or white. Marcello is a streamer expert. Fishing has been excellent with lots of 22 inch+ Bows landed and plenty of 12-18 inch […]
