Lots of anglers are worried about how this low water is affecting our fish.So far so good. The fish are doing excellent. My daughter Dana and her son Austin fished for a few hours on 9-23-20. Using small nymphs and small black streamers they landed quite a few quality fish up to 28 inches…maybe some […]
Denver Water will turn off the water supply through Roberts Tunnel on or about August 24 for repairs. They are not sure when/if they will turn on the water again this year.
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 […]

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 […]
