St. Vrain River: Current Fishing Conditions Report

September 2005: The river is low and water levels will continue to fall. Wily and wild brown trout are beginning to spawn in the high country and will do so in lower elevations soon. There are fish to be caught, but you're going to have to use stealth. In the short term continue using small attractor patterns with or without a dropper, and beetles and ants. Small mayflies will begin to emerge on cloudy days and should offer good surface fishing. Try the plunge pools with streamer patterns and don't be too surprised to hook a very large brown! There are still areas one may fish, but time is running short for that.

We pretty much let the river rest during the winter and wait until Spring for good fishing once again. If you have any reports to add, please do so! Thanks.
