Report Summary for Jun 2026
This year: Flows on the Big Thompson below Lake Estes have been on the rise, currently running high. Despite the increased flows, fishing quality has been good. Anglers have found success by sizing down Baetis and Stonefly patterns. Mixing in Scud, Worm, and Caddis patterns has also been effective. For those looking to target larger fish, streamers imitating smaller minnows and crawfish can also be a productive approach.
Prior years: No prior years report for this period.
