Eagle River
Fishing continues to be great on the Eagle River with Fall in the air and temperatures dropping. Fish are feeding! Blue Wing Olive hatches signal the start of spring and the close to summer and fish are keyed in on these size 22 beauties around 1:30 daily on the Eagle. Fishing in the riffles continues to produce during the warmer parts of the day using San Juan worms, swing caddis and various midge patterns. Most of summer crowds have gone leaving this river for the locals to enjoy, so make it a point to visit this amazing fishery. The river from Gypsum to Dotsero is off colored from rains so use attractor patters for best results.  Need a guide? We got em >>>
Gore Creek

 

Gore Creek is down to a trickle but fish are feeding with cooler air temps lowering the water temps. A stealthy approach is your best bet with longer leaders tapered down to 6x and even 7x tippet. Best flies for Gore Creek right now include Sniper Baetis, Starling Softies, Netbuilder Caddis

 

Colorado River 
Water temps are dropping and the fish know it. Cooler water means big fish feeding for the winter and trying to fatten up. Streamers have been getting more and more love as the water continues to drop. Fish are still feeding throughout the water column in the faster riffles and slower eddies. If you’re nymphing, plan on using size 18-20 grey and black RS-2’s. Still in the fast water but  Hire a guide from Minturn Anglers for optimal fishing results!
