400–450 CFS (at Almont)

We’re officially declaring it summer on the Taylor River! The bugs are out, the flows are steady, and the fish are active. The flows have leveled off around 400–450 CFS through Almont and should remain fairly consistent for the next month.

We’re seeing more sizeable hatches of midges and mayflies in the mornings through the afternoon, and major caddis hatches in the late morning through the evening. We’ve also heard reports that the Green Drakes are making their way up the Gunnison, which means they should hit the Taylor soon! The fish are finally looking up, and dry fly fishing is picking up. Some fish are keying in on emergers during the hatches, so dropping an emerger off of your dry fly is a great setup. Nymphs and streamers are still very effective, especially in the mornings. The next couple of months should provide some great fishing on the Taylor. Stop by our shop or give us a call if you have any questions.
