Good morning Folks,

Floating Update

Flows through Deckers this morning are holding at 232cfs. You’re still going to have to deal with the shallower sections. However, this is better than last weekend’s, 165cfs. One of the big issues we see when the flow gets low, is busted tubes along the river. Please don’t be that person and pick up your garbage.

Fishing Update

Some would argue that this is the best time of year to fish the South Platte. I guess that depends on what you mean by “best time”. For those of you that enjoy the heat, but also love the reward of watching a hungry trout annihilate a hopper pattern, this is the time of the year for you to fish! With a virtual bug buffet available to the trout, you can start your morning off working the banks with a dry-dropper and ease your way into the riffles. Then, armed with a stone fly, hare’s ear, and followed with an emerged or pupa. you’re ready for some action.

Folks, as I also work for ExplorUS, the company that manages the day-use areas and campgrounds along the river, I can tell you that the campgrounds will be full by 4pm, at the latest.
