Flies and Methods - CO streams


Recommended Posts

Heading for Vail on a family vacation, have some fishing arranged with Mr. Keefe. I am also planning a return to an alpine lake I hiked into near Leadville and some time on the Arkansas by Buena Vista. Maybe more if I'm lucky!

What I'm hoping for is some methods and flies advice. I did streamers on the Arkansas and hooked up a few times, fished Adams for the alpine lake cutts. I tried high sticking on the Arkansas with no luck.

Any other methods I should check out? Streams within an hour's drive of Vail to check out? Flies you've done well with? A couple new friends that have been to that part of the state are giving me some advice as well, but I thought I'd cast a wide net, pardon the pun.

The streams at this point have three main hatches. The Eagle and Gore creeks are still pretty cold and will most likely have midges and a few blue-wing-olives.

The Arkansas has a "mother's day caddis hatch" that is a swarm but the actual date varies each year.
