Latest Update: 12/6/2025

Current Streamflow: 5 cfs @ Moraine Park, Guage Off @ Above Lake Estes

A mild Fall thus far has left the Moraine Park stretch open. We may be seeing the last week or so to fish this before it is frozen and quiet until next spring. Still looking for that small stream feel? Check out the inlet to Lake Estes or some of the sections through the town of Estes Park.

Flows are low here, and it is super clear. Single dry flies like ants, midges, and BWO's can produce, but it is time to get into your 5 and 6x tippet material.

Small dry dropper rigs with midge and BWO patterns have been finding some of these hungry fish.

Stay safe and happy fishing!
