: Frying Pan River - Here's a report from Taylor Creek Fly Shop: "Flow is at 120 CFS. The Fryingpan is running gin-clear in the upper reaches and middle river, and there is a bit of color in the lower due to the smaller feeder creeks running off closer to Basalt. There are good numbers of blue-winged olives and midges river-wide, and we are seeing plenty of caddis on the lower. The shrimping in the Toilet Bowl has been spectacular: watch the fish for a few minutes before you start and keep your flies high or low as the fish dictate. We have seen a handful of PMDs already, and better numbers of these bigger mayflies are on the horizon. Caddis and stoneflies are the name of the game down low, be sure to be on the water from 6 p.m. until dark for some lightning round caddis egg-layers. Streamers have moved plenty of fish this week, especially late in the day or anytime clouds are in the sky. If you are fishing near the top miles, keep dry fly leaders long and tapered to 7x. The farther downriver you fish, the heavier tippet sizes are easier to get away with. Hint: The San Juan Worm is fishing very well river-wide!" Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |
