Conditions : South Platte River (btwn Spinney and Eleven Mile) - The "Dream Stream" is fishing great for large fish with different colored egg patterns, mercury rs2 emergers, black beauties ,and blood midges in sizes 18-24! Anglers can expect peak fishing times to vary as resident fish move up the stream. Generally, most anglers have reported mid morning and early afternoon as the best times to fish. Anglers should also try throwing brown and black egg sucking leeches in sizes 8-10. When planning a trip to this section of gold medal water, don't forget the gore-tex, and warm fishing gloves due to fall weather patterns. The stream is Gold Medal Water. Fishing is by artificial flies and lures only, and catch-and-release rules apply. The current flow as of 10/13/09 is 75.8 CFS.

South Platte River (Waterton Canyon) - The cooler temperatures have helped to stimulate the bite. Rainbows to 14 inches have been taken on a variety of small spinners and dry flies. Mepps Aquila is working well. The section from Strontia Springs Dam downstream to 300 yards above the Marston diversion structure is restricted to artificial flies and lures. There is a two-trout limit for this section of river. Night crawlers and garden worms usually are the most effective bait for browns in the unrestricted lower stretch, this section of river has somewhat larger trout.
