Current Streamflow: 4 cfs @ Moraine Park, Gauge Frozen @ Above Lake Estes

Winter is here and bringing in some cooler weather, perfect for the fish. Most eats will be on chironomids and balanced leeches.  Fish will be actively searching for food in preparation for the colder months , so keep your eyes open to see what the fish are looking for.  Stripping Thin Mints and leeches will also work if you are looking for a more proactive fishing style.  

Check for current trail and park closures before heading out. Happy fishing!
