Where to Go Arkansas River – Pueblo

  Pueblo is currently at 652 cfs. and the flows are perfect right now!  If you do fish here, focus on the edges. Keep an eye on the flows here, they can bump up or drop at any time, and without any notice. Despite the bigger flows, the fishing has been really good. Beef up on your terminal tackle or you wont be able to hold onto fish in these flows. Despite the large flows keep fishing smaller patterns. Keep an eye on the flows here.

Hatches:

There are tricos, caddis, PMD's, and some blue wings hatching.

Tactics:

Focus on the river edges and areas you normally wouldnt fish. A lot of these fish will just get out of the way of heavier water. Also keep fishing the smaller patterns.

Weather:

Short Term-  Its the beginning of July and we will see some pretty typical weather for this time of year. This week will be nice and we will again have daily afternoon rain chances through the week. Temps will be in the 70's and winds look calm clear through the weekend. Afternoon rain chances will happen about noon-1 pm each day and some of these storms could get intense. That being said, any storms we see should be brief. Keep your head on a swivel up here, the weather can change very quickly. There will likely be a lot of lightning with these storms as well. In all, its going to be a great time to get outside this week.

Long Term-  Our longer range forecasts are looking like more of the same. We are entering our typical monsoonal flow and should see some consistent rain chances for at least the next 2 weeks. Temps will be a bit warmer than average during this time. Beyond that is anyones guess, but the we will almost certainly dry out at some point.

Tips:

Work the edges.
