We’ve made it through winter and we’re well on our way into the summer season! Lots to get you updated on this morning. First, we’ve had a wonderfully wet couple of days and some much needed moisture is certainly a welcome sight. As I’ll be working for the company that manages the campgrounds and day-use areas again this season, I’ll soon be providing regular updates and information about these areas, as a representative of ExplorUS. The Day-use areas are $10 this year and are strictly enforced by the U.S.Forest Service, as well as ExplorUS staff. As I’m currently suffering with multiple tears in my rotator cuff, my days out on the river have been few and far between. However, I did manage to get out there yesterday afternoon and managed to get a few in the net. Small, size 22 BWO’S, Hi-vis BWO, and a Griffiths Gnat did it for me. The flow is at 110cfs, with excellent clarity. These fish were very selective yesterday, so make sure you’ve got 6x tippet. If you are looking for a seasonal pass from ExplorUS, formally Rocky Mountain Recreation, I should have a few available on the river this weekend. Look for me in the Logo truck and I can sell the pass. They are $100. More soon folks! Have a great Thursday.

Well, it’s taken a little bit longer to get some water into Cheesman Reservoir, but we’re finally seeing a little more water below the damn. Yesterday’s increase has raised the current flow from 125cfs, to 174cfs. In this range, this increase makes all the difference. It’s going to be a much more enjoyable float, allowing you to float longer distances without having to get up and walk through shallower sections. With this increase in the flow and today’s forecast, it’s going to be be busy up here today. So, with that in mind, be sure to get here early if you’re planning on using the day-use areas for parking. Also, please remember a few things if you’re planning on using these areas. They are not free to park! The fee to use these areas is $8. Please remember to bring cash, as all the day-use areas are self-pay, unless you are going to try to park at Bridge Crossing. That day-use area is staffed from Memorial Day through Labor Day, every Saturday and Sunday. You can be ticketed by the US Forest Service for not paying when parking or using these areas. Also, please remember that these day-use areas do not provide trash cans or dumpsters for your trash. Please pack it all out.
