Our fishing reports are updated at least once a week to give you the best possible opportunity to catch fish year around. Unlike so many other Colorado Fly Fishing web sites, our reports are updated 12 months a year. You won't find our reports, 4 weeks, 4 months or 1 to 2 years out of date or not dated at all. This report is the combined information from our own fishing trips, guides and other public information sources. . Visit this page whenever you are as serious as we are about fishing Colorado's top fly fishing rivers. We try not to post fly patterns that are NOT "our exclusive patterns" or ones that no one has ever heard of.                        We want you to catch fish
