  • Colorado River Fishing Forecast: Mild Weather, Ideal Conditions, and Productive Techniques

    Colorado River Fishing Forecast: Mild Weather, Ideal Conditions, and Productive Techniques
    Nov 23 2024
    For those planning to fish the Colorado River in Colorado today, here’s what you need to know:

    ### Weather and Time
    Sunrise is at about 6:30 AM, and sunset will be around 4:30 PM. The weather is expected to be mild with clear skies and moderate daytime temperatures, making it an ideal day for fishing.

    ### Water Conditions
    The river flow is currently at 1450 CFS below Glenwood Springs, with clear water conditions[1][3][4].

    ### Fish Activity
    Fishing tends to start slow and heat up as the day continues. Yesterday saw good activity, particularly for brown trout as they are in their pre-spawn phase. Anglers reported catching quality browns, with some fish putting up quite a fight.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For the morning, use your small-fly box with patterns like Yellow Humpy 14-18, Stimulator 12-18, and Irresistible Adams 18-24. As the day warms up, switch to heavy nymphs and streamers. Effective nymphs include Cat Poop Stonefly Nymph 6-12, Stott's Raisinette 20, and Tungsten Redemption 16-18. Streamers like Double Dirty Hippy, Dali Lama, and Autumn Splendor are also productive[1][3][4].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Confluence with the Roaring Fork**: A popular spot for wade-fishers, offering a mix of riffles and undercut banks.
    - **Dino Boat ramp**: Both above and below the ramp are good spots, especially for those using drift boats.
    - **Upstream of South Canyon rapid**: Known for its challenging but rewarding fishing[1].

    ### Additional Tips
    Fish are likely holding deep where they can find cover in the low and clear water. Be cautious of the fall spawning closures, particularly around Grizzly Creek, No Name Creek, Canyon Creek, and Elk Creek, which are closed until December 1st to protect the ecosystem[1].

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day on the Colorado River, with plenty of fish to target and favorable conditions. Just remember to respect the local fishing regulations and the environment. Happy fishing

  • Glenwood Springs Fall Fishing Frenzy: Targeting Hungry Pre-Spawn Browns on the Colorado River

    Glenwood Springs Fall Fishing Frenzy: Targeting Hungry Pre-Spawn Browns on the Colorado River
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, the Colorado River in Colorado is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, despite the late fall season.

    ### River Conditions
    The flow rate below Glenwood Springs is currently at 1450 CFS, with clear water clarity, making it ideal for spotting and targeting trout[1].

    ### Weather and Light
    Today's weather is expected to be partly cloudy with cooler temperatures, perfect for fall fishing. Sunrise is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:30 PM. Cloudy days are particularly good for fishing here, especially for throwing streamers and dry flies during slower hatches.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity tends to start slow in the mornings but heats up as the day progresses. Browns are actively preparing for the spawn, making them aggressive and eager to take a variety of lures. Expect to encounter larger, feisty fish in deeper runs and pools.

    ### Types of Fish and Catches
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching brown and rainbow trout, with the browns being particularly active due to the pre-spawn phase. The fish are holding deep where they can find cover in the low and clear water.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For mornings, use small-fly patterns such as Yellow Humpy (14-18), Stimulator (12-18), and Irresistible Adams (18-24). As the day warms up, switch to heavier nymphs like Cat Poop Stonefly Nymph (6-12), Prince Nymph (14-18), and Jigged Tungsten Guide's Choice Hare's Ear (14-18). Streamers like Double Dirty Hippy, Dali Lama, and Autumn Splendor are also effective, especially in deeper runs and along drop-offs[1][2].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Confluence with the Roaring Fork**: A popular spot for wade-fishers, offering a mix of fast and slow water.
    - **Dino Boat Ramp**: Accessible both above and below the ramp, this area provides good wading opportunities and deeper pools.
    - **South Canyon Rapid**: Upstream of this rapid is another excellent spot for wading and targeting larger trout.
    - **Grizzly Creek and Two Rivers Park**: These areas offer easy access and are known for larger fish, especially in the deeper runs and slower pools[1][2].

    Overall, the Colorado River near Glenwood Springs is in prime condition for fall fishing, with clear water and stable flows making it an ideal time to target those pre-spawn browns. Be prepared for some exciting battles with these aggressive fish.

    Exceptional Fall Fishing on the Colorado River Near Glenwood Springs and Pumphouse
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, the Colorado River in Colorado is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, especially in the sections near Glenwood Springs and further upstream.

    ### Weather and Sunrise/Sunset
    Today, you can expect cool temperatures, which is typical for this time of year. The sunrise is around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:30 PM. The weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies with a high in the mid-50s and a low in the mid-30s.

    ### River Conditions
    The Middle Colorado River near Glenwood Springs is in prime condition for fall fishing. The flow rates are consistent at around 1,900 CFS, and the water clarity is clear, making it ideal for targeting large brown and rainbow trout. In the upper sections, such as near Pumphouse, the flow rate is lower at about 556 CFS, with water temperatures in the 40s and about 3 feet of clarity[1][2][4].

    ### Fish Activity
    Brown trout are currently preparing for the spawn, making them quite aggressive, especially in deeper runs and pools. Rainbow trout are also active, particularly during late morning to early afternoon when the trout feeding patterns are steady. Be sure to respect the brown trout redds to protect future generations of fish[1][3].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching larger brown and rainbow trout. The sizes ranged from small to large, with some trophy browns being landed in the slower-moving waters near Rifle and New Castle[1][3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For nymphing, effective patterns include Prince Nymphs, Pheasant Tails (#14-18), RS2s, and JuJu Baetis (#18-22). Streamers like Autumn Splendor and Conehead Zonkers in black or olive are working well in deeper runs and along drop-offs. For dry fly fishing, Parachute Adams and Blue Wing Olives (#18-22) can bring results during overcast afternoons or slower flows in the early morning[1][2].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Two Rivers Park and Grizzly Creek**: These access points near Glenwood Springs offer excellent wade and float fishing opportunities with larger trout in slower-moving waters.
    - **Pumphouse Recreation Area**: This area is great for both wade and float fishing, with miles of river downstream and upstream of the parking area. It features braids, riffles, and undercut banks, and is particularly good for streamer fishing and nymphing deep/slow water[1][2].
    - **New Castle Public River Access**: Located in the town of New Castle, this stretch features slower water, ideal for dry fly fishing during evening hatches and streamer fishing for larger trout[1].

    Overall, the Colorado River is in great shape for fall fishing, with stable flows, good water clarity, and active fish, making it a great time to get out and enjoy some quality trout action.
