When it is 72 degrees and fish are rising to Blue Winged Olive Mayflies on Pueblo's Arkansas River it is difficult to believe December is just several days away. The best fishing this time of year seems to be around 11:30am to about 2:00pm when the B.W.O's are hatching. We have been using size 22-24 parachute BWO dry flies.
Jim and I had a nice day on the river enjoying hooking up to some nice fish both on nymphing rigs and dry flies. The flows are low right now under 70 CFS. Water seems to be clearing.
Today, I was actually "too warm" as I had a few too many layers on. Tying on flies with "warm fingers" was pleasant. The only problem is that there are many folks who also find the fishing pleasant and so crowds can be heavy.
