FISHING: Poor
Flow: 200 cfs
Clarity: Poor
Water Temperature: High 40 to low 50’s
Major Food Organisms: Midges, caddis, yellow sallies, pmd’s, caddis, and baetis
Hatches: Midges, caddis, yellow sallies, pmd’s, caddis, and baetis
14 Day Forecast: If the rains subside, look for a gradual clearing of the Deckers area and fishing to pick up. Recent rains have discolored the feeder creeks, which have had adverse effects on the South Platte below Cheesman Reservoir. Flows should remain between 450-600 cfs for several days.
Tips and Other Information: Blown Out! I drive past this section of river everyday, and I am just heart-broken.
Effective Patterns: #20-22 Mercury Midge, #18 Mighty Mite baetis, #16 Nuke Egg, Red and Pink San Juan Worms, #20-22 Mercury Baetis, #20-22 Bead Head Barr’s Emerger (pmd), #18 Mercury PMD, #18 Micro San Juan Worm, #18-22 Dorsey’s Mercury Pheasant Tail, #14 Orange and Olive Scuds, #20-26 Parachute Adams, #20-24 Hi Vis Baetis, and #20-22 Mathew’s Sparkle Dun.
