Vail Valley Fly Fishing

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2007 all proved to be great fishing on all the rivers of Colorado’s high country, and it looks like another great season is unfolding for 2008. Depending on the speed of the early season runoff, Late May on the upper Colorado River should be prime for landing big Brown Trout on larger lures and streamers along the banks. After the Salmon Fly hatch (usually around Memorial day) the river will continue to run muddy but will quickly open up for dry flies and nymphing in Late June. This time should be perfect for hunting down some good sized Rainbows. No matter when you come out, my best advice would be to get on a private guided float trip and have a guide help you find the best holes on the river. The Peak concierge team works with the finest companies in town, call us today and we’ll take care of the details!
