2004 Rio Grande Fly Fishing Report Archives
Historically
the Rio Grande fished best in the Fall{September-October} and maybe 2 years
out of 10, when runoff was low or later than usual we have the Caddis Hatch
which starts in mid to late April. The mild dry winters of the late 90's
have made this an almost annual event and we have been seeing the first bugs
in the first week of April. In September our summer rains subside and with
the end of the irrigation season in Colorado flows stabilize and fishing
is the best of the year on the Rio.
Spring: This years snowpack is better than in the past 5 years
and flows on the Rio Grande have been as high as 1200cfs {State Line}. On 4/5
flow was down to 660cfs but chocolate brown and unfishable.
