Fishing Reports
Rocky Mountain fishing reports
The rivers in lower portions of Rocky Mountain National Park are open and fishing quite well right now!
Glacier Creek: Flows are high and muddy from low level run off
Upper Big T: Open through the moraine and fishing quite well. Midges, small attractor nymphs, and worm imitations are all hooking fish.
High Mountain Lakes: Frozen
Flows coming into and out of Lake Estes are between 50 and 100 cfs. Fishing is good right now. Nymphing will be your best bet. An attractor of some variety trailed by a small midge or baetis variation will do the trick.
