CURRENT TAYLOR RIVER FLOW • ALMONT, CO
Fishing has been slowing down as the water levels have dropped off. Smaller flies and lighter tippet, paired with longer casts and a delicate presentation, have produced more fish.
Terrestrials have been effective, as hatches have been pretty sporadic. Some Blue Wing Olive and Pale Morning Dun hatches have been productive if you can time it right.
The lower water levels have pushed fish into deeper holes and runs in the river. Fishing has been best early in the morning as well as the late evening.
The Catch and Release Section has been producing some very healthy fish for us. Call or book online to wet a line with a qualified guide today!
