Low water flows and warm temperatures are affecting the lower parts of the Roaring Fork Valley. This is causing concerns for the fishery in these areas.
The upper reaches of some streams, such as the Crystal and Roaring Fork, are expected to remain cool throughout the summer. The Fryingpan River, which runs cold under the dam, is also a reliable option for anglers.
Further information on the state of the fishery is available, including details on how changing conditions may impact fishing in the area.
