: Stagecoach Reservoir - Due to park construction and decreasing water levels, the reservoir measured 7 feet below full on 8/28. The muddy shore line is exposed and algae is highly visible. The reservoir will close to trailered watercraft on September 7th for the season. Hand launch vessels are permitted at visitors own risk until ice on. With decreasing water levels, the flow at the tailwaters is estimated to stay at 142 cfs through September. Midges, San Juan worms, emergers and RS2's have been working well for fly fishing the tailwaters. Brightly colored PowerBait, Kastmasters, and trolling with a crayfish lure have yielded some larger sized trout in the reservoir. Pike activity has increased due to cooling water temperature, which is at 67 degrees. Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |
