: Antero Reservoir - As of 6/15/2022, Anglers Covey reports Its mid-June and Antero is fishing in typical form. This time of year we really
start to see the bug life diversify and that brings many opportunities to anglers. The buffalo midges are hatching in droves
right now and Callebaetis are already starting to become abundant. Shore fishing is still doable, but float tubers, kayakers
and boaters will benefit more now with the fish spreading out. The fish are starting to venture out more into the lake and
that will continue as the weeds start to grow. The boat ramps are open and kayak/float tuber anglers can launch from
anywhere on the lake. The weather will be pretty warm the next few days with some wind (Big Surprise)
Fish are feeding opportunistically all over the lake. Static nymphing and slow stripping chironomids, callebaetis, wooly
buggers and leeches have been effective. Recommended Patterns:
Scuds, orange, pink, and green #12-18, Egg patterns #14-16, Mayers Radiant jig mini leach, black, brown, Wooly buggersbrown, black, purple, olive #6-12, #14-16, Squirrel leaches, black, brown, olive #14-16, Chironomids-red, black #14-20,
Zebra midge-black & red, #16-20, Balanced leaches, red, black, purple, green #10-16. Callebaetis nymphs #16.
Streamers: Stay to the rule of muted colors on bright days and flashier colors on cloudy days. The streamer bite should
greatly improve as the water temps slowly warm. Reported by: Sportsmen's Warehouse |
