Four Mile Creek @ Florissant A – 1
It is a tailwater. Bushy flies on top with black beauty on bottom. Top of the property is best.

Four Mile Creek A – 2
Beaver Ponds on upper end is your best bet. Renegades, para adams, small black leeches and green caddis could be any time these months.

Arkansas River A – 3
Caddis, golden stones, and midges in the morning. Fish under the upper bridge and the hole on the lower end of the property.

Lake Fork of the Arkansas A – 4
Buckskin, BWO patterns, and probably caddis. Look for Hoppers. Side channel will probably dry up so stick to the big hole on the bottom end. There use to be a beaver pond way up top.

Shawnee Lake A – 5
I like big chironomids in red, purple leeches deep on the east side. Look for merger flow coming into the lake.

Four Mile Creek at Cripple Creek A – 9
If there is a flow coming out of the tunnel Hopper dropper with a pheasant tail on fhe bottom.

Tarryall Creek A – 10 and A – 21
Both properties have huge beaver dams, fish them with hopper/dry dropper.

Sylvan Dale Ranch A – 11, A 13 and A – 15
The river should be good this time of year, hare’s ear, zebra midges, red copper John and tan sj worm. Mother lake is good with clousers, red midge larvae, and mother’s midge. Damsels should be coming soon. Bass pond should be waking up in May with black center balance leeches. Crayfish fish and minnow patterns. Black and blue colors usually work best this time of year.

Middle Michigan Creek A – 12 and A – 14
Concern for steady flows. Hopper Dropper with perdigons are my choice.

Beaver Creek A – 16
I don’t know if there will be any water in this property. I will check in May and report back to the club. Anybody want to go with me, I will pay the rod fee!!!!!

Clear Creek A – 17
Olive hare’s ear, black zebra midge and black marabou muddler. Anybody catch that big rainbow underneath that log in the center of the property?

Big Thompson River A – 19
Olive buggers, RS-2, olive perdigon, rainbow warrior. Laura will keep us informed of the flows.

Arkansas River at Big Bend A – 20
Upper section and the big hole downstream. Caddis, golden stones, black midges and search the river with a Muddler Minnow.

Gunnison River B – 22
Wait till 400 cfs then fish the big stones, caddis fly and perdigons.

East River B – 26
Red quills , renegades and olive perdigons.  I like the upper end..  Red midge patterns are always good choice early in the spring.

Saguache Creek B – 31 thru B – 34
Fish rubber legged  streamers in white. Pat’s rubber legs under the banks is a good choice. I have tried to fish these in April and they can be muddy. Check with the ranger in Saguache for water , not fishing conditions.

Conejos River B – 36 and B – 37
Stone flies! The gate to access B37 will open the first full week in May.

Colorado River C – 42
Not much snow in Middle Park. Thin Mint streamers, BWO patterns, and ant patterns sunk. If all else fails a small sowbug patter like a Ray Charles or soft hackle sowbug is always good for at least a few fish.

Fraser River C – 43
Egg sucking leeches, chartreuse cj and olive sculpins. Flows could be an issue.

Crystal River C – 49
Check Alpine Angler in Carbondale for water conditions as the river can get muddy. Stick with your early season patterns. The prince is always a good choice, have some small mayflies and caddis.

Yampa River – C – 50, C – 56, and C -57
C-57 is still closed until further notice, the Hollorans are deciding on access. The Hogue ranch partially sold new boundaries are marked on the property and is fishing exceptionally well. The Yampa properties fish good with red and black midge larvae, buckskin and spruce flies.

Roaring Fork River, Pond and Spring Creek C – 59
It will be interesting to see how runoff effects this property. Conditions remain solid with wadeable conditions and no worse than tea stained visibility. Rainbow Warriors, olive perdigons, rio grande kings and thin mints. Black and golden stones in the heavy water. Olive damsels in pond.

Gianinnetti Spring Creeks, Ponds and Roaring Fork River C – 60
Black Midges in the pond, Rainbow Warrior, olive perdigon and stones In the river.

Roaring Fork River at Ironbridge Golf Course C – 63
You can fish the same patterns on this property as the other Roaring Fork properties.

Grizzly Creek C – 55 and C – 65
Not much history on these properties. We used basic patterns to catch some nice fish. Lots of caddis and small leeches in the creek.  Prince nymphs, olive damsel nymphs, perdigons and black buggers. The good news is C – 55 has bought another ranch adjacent to his property, the owner’s hotel has been completed and he has added warming huts that you could stay overnight if you had to. C – 65 is a small property in length, perfect for beginners and old anglers like me.

Moose River Ranch C – 67
As soon as the ice is off a club member could spend a lot of time fishing for the state record lake trout. Fly selection is simple grey and white rabbit streamers add a little red to the pattern.

Lower Michigan River C – 68
Late April is a great time to start fishing this property. Caddis larvae, perdigon olive and flashback pheasant tail are good choices. Thin mint should be in your fly box if you are a streamer fisherman.

Brown’s Creek  D – 70
Southern Wyoming has some snow, flows should start to bump in May. As always sculpins under the banks are a good choice. Try a orange crawfish. Can’t wait to have the new cabins finished. Casey is going to film the ranch, keep and eye out for the release.

Rose River D – 80
The bass pond will be open, but I don’t know about the river. Lotsa moisture back east.
