The weather over this next week looks really nice, it will be beautiful up here!

The cold seems to have set in pretty well up here. The Big T canyon will be fairly frozen in the lower and middle stretches. You may find gaps in the ice the closer you get to Estes Park. The Tailwater section under Olympus Dam is still flowing and fishing though!

The flows have dropped under the dam, the clarity is superb here. Small nymph rigs with BWO’s, Midges, or Sow Bugs are what we have been using lately, and the emergers are producing right now. Stay in the 20-24 range for most bugs in this system. 5x tippet has been fooling fish as of late but if its a tougher day consider 6x.

Streamers have still been producing for us, think smaller patterns such as Buggers or Landon Mayer's Mini Leech.  

Let us know if you have any questions or are looking for more info on fishing the Big Thompson!
