May 19 Telluride Angler

Dolores

(3,000cfs-5,000cfs at Dolores) The highest water in a decade will set the stage for excellent late summer fishing, but the main branch Upper Dolores and West Fork Dolores will be unfishable until late June. Tributaries will fall into shape first, especially the short, high gradient creeks above the town of Rico. For now, nothing is fishable on the Dolores side, but like always, this is the first local river that will become 100% fishable in this region, perhaps by the last week of June.
