Fishing & Floating Update-July 27, 202

FLOATING

Flows through Deckers this morning are up a bit, now at 232cfs. You’re still going to have to deal with the shallower sections, but 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. If you are planning on floating the river today, just be sure to be equipped with proper safety gear and remember to never float alone. High of 90 today, with afternoon thunderstorms. Please read the safety information below, as this should be your number one priority.  Also, please keep in mind the rules around parking, camping, and day-use areas as you enjoy your time on the South Platte. BRING CASH! You cannot use your debit/credit card to pay for day-use fees. Please be aware that you will have to pay for each vehicle that enters the day-use area parking lots. What this specifically means is that ALL vehicles that are utilizing the parking lot must pay the $10 day-use fee. There is NO FREE TEMPORARY PARKING at the day-use areas along the river. Season passes for access to the day-use areas are only $100. Thanks for continuing to support the website and our National Forests.

Fishing

Deckers received a nice bump in flow earlier this week. At the current flow, Deckers is at a productive and comfortable level. New fishing report just posted, from our friends at Flycast.
