Fishing Update - June 25, 2011:

          - from Paul Inglefield

Not much to update since our water levels are still high though they are clearing. At least another 2 weeks before things get manageable for the rivers.The Stagecoach tail water is still the only really decent fishable stream water at present and the levels are high, so it is challenging. Small midge patterns (WD40 eg) and scuds remain good patterns. However some of the smaller streams, tributaries in North Park (Walden area) though still high are becoming fishable.   Up to date conditions are available at http://northparkanglers.com./

The lakes:
All lakes are however fishable and can be good.  Damsel flies are appearing, use the Damsel nymph patterns

Stagecoach is fine.  There are reports of fish at the inlet.

The Delaney Butte Lakes (North Park) are fishable and can be good.  The most fish are on the East Lake, but bigger fish in North lake Up to date conditions are available at the above website.

Steamboat Lake is also fishable, damsels again.

I will run the Intro to Flyfishing trip in July, the date depends on our stream levels probably the 19th or 26th.  I will send out notifications and details later.  In the meantime if anyone needs advice or wants to get together for some instruction contact myself (Paul Inglefield) or Steve Richheimer depending on availability, contact info in the OTHG book.
