Conditions
: Estes Lake - Lake Estes has been fishing well, with fish getting increasingly interested in midges early and late in the day. Fishing a streamer fly very slowly can be productive. Try fishing dark patterns such as gray leeches or black Woolly Buggers on cloudy days. A sink-tip line might be a good idea. Small spoons fished low and slow might yield some trout, and baits such as salmon eggs and worms always are a good option. Be sure to have a good selection of non-toxic split shot. A belly boat will get you into places that fishing from shore cannot. Caddis are also providing some good top water action. Try caddis in #16-20.
