Snowy Range Fishing Report 2021

Most of the multitude of high alpine lakes in the Snowy Range are now accessible.  The USDA Forest Service has implemented stage one fire restrictions for the area.  July and August are great months to escape high water and air temps and head up to the high country of the Snowy Range Mountains.  With literally dozens of lakes to choose from, its a destination that is tough to beat.  With a such short growing season, trout are typically eager to smash any dry fly pattern.  However, we see grasshoppers, beetles, and especially flying ant hatches in July and August.  Here is a list of tried and true dry flies we like to use.

Size 16 Parachute Adams

Size 16 Purple Haze

Size 16 Griffiths Gnat
