Beautiful weather day. Sunny and clear. Great meadow fishing with easy access. Creek is low, water is clear and the fish are spooky. Tough day of fishing but we caught a few 10-12 inch browns. I would wait until next spring to return. ~ Billy -- October 16th, 2017

Caught a couple of browns in the riffles on #14 black foam caddis before deluge at about 1:30 p.m. A few strikes on other top water flies. No takes on nymphs or emergers. Although fishable, the water flow from upstream spiked up to almost 100 at the Tarryall spillway which means it added to the runoff from the rain storm. The creek was full from brim to brim. This creek is wider and deeper than at A-8. It has much less fishing activity than I expect from the Tarryall. Mosquitos were annoying but the deer flies bit right through my sun gloves. Be sure to load insect repellant onto the backs of your hands. The deer fly bite is painful and very distracting. Trico hatch about 10:30 out of a riffle for about 15 minutes. No other large hatches noted. The precipitation was recorded at over .5". Water temp was about 60 degrees f. I'm looking forward to going back when the water flow is much lower, the mosquitoes have retired, and after the hay has been cut. ~ Gene -- July 31st, 2017

Nice day on Tarryall. Flow about 60 cfs--fished upstream with small caddis and copper john- red. Caught several small bows and browns - 8-10" on dropper. Woolly bugger ( small black) brought a couple of bows to 16" on lower end. . Fished from lower end to parking with Royal Wolff ( #16) and caught 4 bows 17-19"- they must have loved the red bodies! Who knows what fish think! Great day with good mixture of flies and fish. ~ Bill J -- July 6th, 2017

6/26/17, Really fun day at A-10! Weather was mild, flows were up a little and it was relatively sunny. We walked to the lower boundary and fished our way up. We started the day by throwing Stimis and Chernobyl's, the browns were really active and aggressive! The bugs would hit the surface and if presented right a brown would come up and hammer either fly. We caught about 10 or so this way. The browns were mostly in the riffles and soft water out of a run. Then the real fun started, we came up on the deep, slow pools and threw the same rigs. I had 2 monster rainbows slam the Chernobyl's, I fought them each for awhile and finally snapped off. They were at least 20" and really aggressive! But the highlight of the day was in another one of these big pools. I was throwing streamers, double thin mint, into the deep holes and I got a little brown and as I was bringing it in a HUGE rainbow came from the depths and tried 3 times to eat the brown! It was a first for me. Beautiful property with tons of options, wished we could have fished longer. Make sure to bring bug spray, the mosquitoes were thick in the slow water. ~ Brad Rettig -- June 25th, 2017

Water flows on Tarryall Creek remain low (20cfs) and clear, making fishing challenging. The upper and lower ends of this property seem to hold most fish. We landed 5 good fish between 2 fishermen, all on streamers. South Park winds were particularly brutal that day and an approaching storm sent us packing around 4pm. Nonetheless, it was a fun day on the river in a scenic surrounding. ~ Fabrice -- April 25th, 2017

Fished from 9:30am to 1:00pm. Caught 5 good sized rainbow (12 to 16 inches in length) and 2 small brown trout. The fish weren't very particular as I caught them on red and green copper john, black stonefly nypmh, and a brown San Juan worm. All of the rainbow were caught in deeper and darker pools. ~ Ed -- April 8th, 2017

Awesome day on A-10! It was an absolute perfect day for fishing, good cloud cover, light rain and about 70 degrees. The flows were right around 50-60 cfs and the water clarity was a little off but that didn't effect the fish. We noticed a lot of Caddis, BWO and Yellow Sallies coming off, but I threw a foam PMD with a purple body and man did the big boys love it! At each bend I'd toss in my fly, let it setup and BAM, a 14-15 inch Bow would come from the depths and crush it! My partner was throwing streamers deep in the pools and he was pulling out some beauties. We fished the entire property, the highlight was really nice brown, 15-16 inch on the top half of the property. We tried standard dropper rigs, but the big ones just wanted to eat of the top. Great day, probably 10 fish for each of us. ~ Brad Rettig -- August 8th, 2016

My post last July 25th, 2015, reads like this post but this has a new twist. We were not skunked but we could smell it from there. Very few catches, a few more strikes. My partner started with a 20 incher and we each got action on that nymph out of rising tan water. The underwater visibility was about 2 feet then got worse. The Tarryall was so high we could not safely wade so we fought the willows and then the grasses all day. The key word here is rising water. I just checked again and on July 2nd the cfs was increased, while we were standing on the bank, to the highest level of this year: 250+. That is from a cfs of about 120 the day before. Then it fell back to its average low. One other optimist and us happened to be on the creek when the flow went sky high. Truth be known, we did not try a San Juan (mistake) but we did try streamers. I got a dry fly strike and a strike on an emerger, both from fish tucked up under the bank. Live and learn. Since the river reports do not warn people in advance what flows will be active, this is not a problem we could anticipate. It was still a good day to be outside. ~ Gene -- July 18th, 2016

Fishing was very good. Best flies were, pats rubber legs, hares ear, barrs emerger. Water levels were up but clarity was very good. BWO's were coming off mid day. Fishing slowed in the pm as the skies opened up and conditions became bright and clear. Landed many fish up to 18" even a nice brookie. ~ Blue Parish -- May 24th, 2016

Three of us were fishing this property and had a great day. We caught multiple rainbows and browns mainly on a tan san juan worm (tan juan worm). We also caught fish on prince nymphs, black stone fly, and Reese's fusion nymph. We stayed near the southern border of the property and the fish were staying in the deep slow moving waters. It was important to make sure that you got your flies down deep to where the fish were. ~ Pete -- May 6th, 2016
