Reports of ice formation in the lower reaches of the canyon. Open water still exists closer to the dam but will require more of a hike to there. Bead head nymphs, worms, eggs, small midges, etc. (#16-20) are a few go-to's.
River InformationWaterton Canyon is a very good fishery located close to home that will always produce a few fish. Here at the fly shop, we believe that Waterton is one of the top locations in the front range to either learn to fish, teach someone to fish, or even practice a new style of fishing. Due to this stretch being located in a canyon, it will eventually gather quite a bit of ice on the edges. The weeks before the freeze are a fantastic time to intercept a few fish while they are fattening up for winter.
