Cache La Poudre River

Report Date: 05/10/2012
  • Great Spring Freestone

    Reporter: Trout's Staff

    Flow Conditions:

    Water Clarity: Clear

    Current Fishing Conditions:

    Flows have increased dramatically. Clarity is intermittent, but fish are still feeding on abundant baetis and Stones, and more Caddis are arriving daily. Focus on pocketwater and calmer backeddies, with larger stones and steamers, and fishing can be very good.
