South Platte Deckers

Tuesday, Dec 03 2019
130cfs- With winter conditions, fishing has been tough. Stealthy presentation and light tippet sizes upwards of 5x are required for most fish. There have been fish taken on the surface with Griffiths gnats and tiny trico spinners, but a light nymph-rig will find the most fish. Expect fish to be in slow holding areas, and deep runs/pools. Patterns like soft hackles, small caddis larva, and scuds are finding some nice fish lately. Midges are becoming more and more important - Black beauties, disco midges and top secrets are all great choices.
