Anglers and fish alike have enjoyed open water along the North Fork this winter! As the days grow longer and temps have been warming, the fish have become more active, even chasing slow-stripped streamers. Egg-midge combos have been the best combo, and anglers ready to detect subtle strikes have been […]
Anglers have been enjoying fishable flows this winter on the North Fork South Platte! The fish have moved into their cold water wintering runs in the deep pools and tailouts near submerged structures. Most fish are fooled on nymph rigs, with egg-midge combos being the primary go to. Mysis, leech […]
We will have good flows thru December, maybe longer. Denver Water says they plan on running water through Roberts Tunnel at least through December . Boxwood will stay open as long as we have good water. Set your sights on a 26-28 inch trophy, the fishing/catching will be great and […]

August and September offered terrific fishing at Boxwood Gulch and Long Meadow Ranch! Anglers enjoyed clear water and average flows around 300 cfs.

Perfect flows of 230cfs with 200 from Lake Dillon provided gin clear water and some great sight fishing to 4-5 b Bows and spectacular Tigers. These photos say more than I can.
