Spring means snowmelt on the upper Pine, so expect high and cold, but clear waters. Fishing is not easy above Vallecito off Pine River Trail, but you will find solitudeand snow.
Below Vallecito, fishing has been pretty good with attractor nymphs (and dries). Dry droppers, or nymph rigs are a good option.

Below the dam, flows are low and fishing may be tough with skinny water. Fish still gotta eat though. Nymph rigs will be best, but a streamer or even dry may be fun.
The upper is going to be cold and bumping with snowmeltit will also be a tough hike with snow, but if you are into hiking through spring snow to fish heavy nymphs or streamers to cold fish, go for it.
