Report Summary for May 2024
This year: Cochetopa Creek is currently experiencing high flows, with conditions typical of runoff season. Flows this month have averaged around 69 CFS, peaking at 94 CFS, which is considerably higher than last month's average of 37 CFS. Despite the elevated water, fishing quality remains good. Anglers should exercise caution due to deep holes, swift currents, and dangerous wading conditions. Focus your efforts on the undercut banks, where fish are finding refuge from the swift current. Fast-sinking nymph rigs are most effective. Try pairing a Perdigon with a trailing San Juan Worm or a Walt's Worm to entice strikes.
