The South Fork is starting to finally look like you could wade it, caddis and goldens are working there way up the river, and it is really starting to fish well from a dry fly stand point

Access closed for the summer due to a landslide. Should be great fishing all summer, but you will have to access thru Elwood Pass which is a tough 4 wheel trail
Rio Grande Coller State Wildlife Area
Current Status: EXCELLENT

Well we have been having great success with golden stone or small size 10-12 dark stones, with caddis behind it. You can work the stone by overcasting a little back eddy and mending your flies into the foam line, If you don’t get a strike on the stone during the mending then dead drift the foam line and you will pick fish up mainly on the caddis, but sometimes on the stone especially during or directly after a mend.

Rio Grande Deep Creek Rd.
Current Status: EXCELLENT

I would fish with goldens and caddis especially as the stones make there way up into to the sections below Creede. The river is really fishing well right now, so enjoy it while the flows last up here, they are releasing out of continental right now, so most of the flows are coming from the Rio Res, and Continental, once it stops it will drop fast.

Caddis and starting to see some drakes on the lower river, the fish are keying in on the caddis and we are still throwing some stones w/ limited success on the stones. I had a couple of fish take the drake, but that will only increase through next week.

Some of the guides fished from marshall park yesterday and pounded fish on streamers they took out at Palisades below the gap, they said it took 4 hrs to float from the park to the gap. WOW, fast water, landed around 40 fish!

Fishing is excellent, reports of grand slams are abundant this time of year! Catching very nice 15-20 inch rainbows. A 20-40 fish day is not out of the question up here this time of year. We are running trips up here right now and the fishing has been steady!! WE ARE NOW FISHING SALMON FLY DRIES!!!!!!!
