Good Morning from Decker’s Corner! I’m Chef Chris, from the Decker’s Corner Café http://www.deckerscorner.com with you morning weather and river conditions at the Decker’s bridge. Before I continue, and as we approach Father’s Day, I would like to wish my father, the late, but definitely “On Time” William D. White, a very happy birthday. It’s been 20 years since we lost him and I think about him all the time. “Happy Birthday Whitey!”
The weather up here could not be better!!! 67 Degrees with a forecast high of 73. At 6:45, the river flow at the Trumble Station was 455 cfs, with good clarity. Last night was incredible!! I started out fishing with a Streamer (Olive Wooley Bugger,) left on from the last time out before vacation. Caddis were coming off pretty consistently, but with the high sun, the fish were still staying low and aggressively taking stone flies, with a variety of nymphs below. Being the only resident here full time in Decker’s, I stayed out on the river until 9pm. Finally, as the sun had set behind the hills, some opportunistic fish started to rise to take some caddis clean out of the air!! I kept my same rig and ended up taking quite a few fish in a row on the stone-fly and one on a grey RS-2. This morning the midges are coming off, along with some PMD’s’ which should be getting thicker here in a few weeks. Spoke with John at Flies-n-lies just a few moments ago, http://www.flies-n-lies.com and he shared with me that the BWO’s are still hanging around, but should be trailing off soon. The crowds are starting to show up for the holiday weekend, so please remember that their is plenty of room on the river and please pick up your trash when leaving our beautiful South Platte River Valley. Have a great day! Remember to do something good this weekend for Dad, Take him fish’n! and stop in to the Decker’s Corner Café http://www.deckerscorner.com, and say hello!

Good Morning to everyone!! Chef Chris here with your daily “Decker’s” report! Busy weekend up here in the foothills! I hope everyone enjoyed their time in our lush mountain valley. The river was at 405(cfs)at the Trumbull station this morning at 5:45am. The water looks fantastic and I sighted several fish this morning aggressively feeding along my walk this morning. Personally, I didn’t fish over the weekend, but from what I heard the usual suspects were working. Slump busters trailing an assortment of bugs worked well the last time I fished. A few I used in the evening were the grey#20 Rs-2, stone-fly’s, and even my olive wooley bugger took a fish early. Don’t forget, you can make your campground reservation right here on this website! Simply “click” on the “Things to Do Page” and under the Camping hub, follow the link for “Reserve America”.
Have a great day! and take a kid fishing!!!

Father’s Day Fishing
fishing reportJune 19, 2016
Good morning from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains!!! Chef Chris here, with your morning “Bug” and conditions report from Decker’s Corner, Colorado. First of all, I would like to wish all the father’s out there a Happy Father’s Day!! The river flow at Trumbull station is showing 421 (cfs) at 5:45 this morning, with good clarity and easily allCurrently, it’s 64 degrees in Decker’s, with a forecasted high in the mid-seventies. The bugs coming off last night were thick! Midges, Caddis, and still a few BWO’S are bringing these fish up late, more towars the 8-9pm hours, but nymphing in Decker’s right now is really working well. The parking lots are filling up early on the weekends, so be prepared to get here early. I walked early again this morning back to the “Wire”, didn’t see as many Midges or PMD’s like I did yesterday. There also seems to be fewer people parked on the YMCA river road, but the area will continue to get crowded as everyone is trying to escape the high heat by heading to the mountains. Keep in mind that there is plenty of room downstreams from Decker’s, offering anglers plenty of pocket water, riffs, gravel bars and deep holes to try your luck and landing that record rainbow!! Have a great day and do something nice today, take a friend out for Ice Cream!!!

Beat the Heat
fishing reportJune 18, 2016
Good Morning from the beautiful South Platte river!! Chef Chris here with your morning weather and river conditions here at Decker’s. My friend and I got an early start this morning, about 6 to be exact, and we walked YCAMP road back to the “wire,” where there were already several cars heading back to get a spot on the river, on a day that is sure to bring lots of people to the Decker’s area. We’re currently at 64 degrees with a forecasted high today of about 71 degrees. It’s going to be much cooler than Denver and the Front Range communities today, so come on up and enjoy the river! The river flow at 5:45am was 440 at Trumble and looking quite clear as I stood on the Decker’s bridge this morning! PMD’s and some midges were coming off up near “Ray’s Run. I saw a few fish being taken at the “Turn hole” with what looked like to be on a dry fly that was being thrown to some rising fish. Stop by Flies-n-lies, http://www.flies-n-lies.com to pick up what you need to catch the big one! It’s a great day for Ice Cream and a refreshing beverage! Be sure to stop into the Decker’s Corner Café, http://www.deckerscorner.com and say hello!!! Please use caution as you enjoy our peaceful river valley. Traffic is heavy and people are distracted!! And please remember, YOU WILL NOT HAVE CELL SERVICE IN DECKER’S COLORADO!!

The Heat is on!
Fishing Conditions, fishing reportJune 16, 2016
Good morning from Decker’s Corner, Chef Chris here with your morning report of the live conditions in Decker’s.. It’s already 60 degrees and nothing but sunshine!!!!!!! Going to be a fantastic day up here in the South Platte River Valley. Went out last night and their were an abundance of bugs coming off. Fish were rising near the banks and I saw several fish getting “Good Air” as they were going airborne to get a taste of Caddis flies and midges that seemed like small clouds just above the river surface.. At 5:45 this morning, the Trumble station is reporting flows of 454 (cfs) and the water clarity is good. This will surely allow you to site fish along the banks from the Decker’s bridge and all the way upstream. Don’t forget to stop at Flie-n-lies http://www.flies-n-lies.com and pick up whatever you need for a successful day on the South Platte. Remember, do something nice today. Take a kid fishing!!
Have a Great Day,
Chef Chris
