Cache La Poudre River

Poudre River Fishing Report:

Winter is here on the Poudre River and most of the canyon is locked up. We still have some flowing water in town and on the North Fork at Gateway. Flows in town have bumped up over the last few days and fishing has been picking up. Just as a heads up for anyone planning on fishing the North Fork, the parking fee at Gateway is now in effect all year. The afternoons can produce some great dry fly fishing with smaller midges, but be ready with your 6x tippet if you plan to fish dries. Midge and small bead heads like the Poison Tung. or the Juju Midge are fishing well.

Patterns: Some good options for nymphs are Poison Tung. (#18,20), and JuJu Midge (#20,22) Zebra midge (#18-22) Rojo Midge (#20-22) Erik's HiVis Midge (#18-22) Sprout Midge (#20-24)

For any questions on how to tackle the Poudre whether it's location, rigs, or flies stop by either shop before you head out!
