Colorado River Report
Colorado River Report
November 22nd, 2021
FLOW: 550.0 cfs (State Bridge)
WATER CONDITIONS: Clearish
FOOD SOURCES PRESENT: Stone Flies, BWO, Midges, Caddis
THE LOW DOWN: The flows are down making wading the Colorado much easier. You can still get boats down with some careful navigation. Streamers are still a great bet this time of year, if that is not working for you, large heavy bugs in riffles and deep runs will do the trick.
Appropriate Patterns
DRIES: Parachute Adams 14-20, Stimulator 14-18, Royal Wulff 14-20
NYMPHS: Pats Rubber Legs 8-12, Prince Nymph 12-18, Pheasant Tail 12-20, Zebra Midge 18-22, RS2 18-22
STREAMERS: Double Gonga, Motor Oil, Mini Leech, Circus Peanut
HINTS: Sometimes streamers just need a bit more action. Small “pops” with rod tip will give the streamer more movement and can imitate an injured fish.
