General Overview
Conditions have been very conducive to strong winter fishing in the canyon. With warmer than average weather, fishing has been enjoyable in South Park and the canyon has been producing well. No real change in mindset however, its a wintertime small bug game and nymphing will be your staple method.
Stream Conditions
Flowrate near Lake George: 77 CFS
Clarity: Clear
Suggested Methods
It's winter tactics on the South Platte right now, but keep a streamer rod handy for those migratory Spring fish as well. Your most productive mindset will be to lean on technical nymphing and keep the patterns in the micro caddis, egg pattern, micro-BWO and midge categories. Double and triple nymph rigs (whether indicator or tightline) will be your best option. Covering water with a streamer can find you a big fish if you're willing to walk.
