Latest Update: 11/14/2025
Current Streamflow : 24 cfs @ Big T Above Lake Estes, 27 cfs @ Big T Below Lake Estes, 6 cfs @ Moraine Park
The Big T is still fishing well for us below Lake Estes. This week should bring some sunny days and warmer temperatures, hopefully bringing out some good dry fly action. Small nymph rigs with BWO’s and Midges are what we have been using lately, but be sure to keep some small dries ready should those bugs start to hatch. The Big T is becoming more technical, so consider sizing down on leader and tippet material - 5X and 6X respectively, but don’t let that keep you from hitting the water!
Streamers have still been producing for us, think smaller patterns such as Thin Mints and Sparkle Minnows.
Let us know if you have any questions or are looking for more info on fishing the Big Thompson!
