So, as we head into spring full force, we are starting to see great fishing conditions on both South Boulder Creek and Boulder Creek. The weather has been warm, and fish have been coming to the surface, especially on the inside corners of faster moving water. Recently, the box I reserve almost exclusively for the Frying Pan has produced some winners for me on these streams mid-day. Any gray pattern in the size range of 16-20 has produced fish, and the browns seem particularly hungry right now. On South Boulder Creek, which is running at about 125 CFS right now, some of the pools are running deeper, and without switching to a true nymph rig, I have resorted to the old standard with great success - a #14 stimulator in orange or yellow with a #18 Copper John or bead-head hare's ear dropped about 20 inches below. This combo has worked well for the suspended rainbows in these pools, and this rig allows for an easy switch back to the single dry in stretches of shallower water. Enjoy!
