Christmas in Estes Park looks like it will be warmer than usual this year. Moraine Park has seen a bump in flows from recent snow melt this week, but the Big T coming out of Lake Estes is still at it's steady flow.

With sustained flow 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!
