Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to give a quick update for the Clear Creek Fishing Report.
The whole stretch still seems to be fishing well from Idaho Springs all the way to the Golden Whitewater Park. Great reports are coming in from those using dries, nymphs, and streamers. At this point, most fish are done spawning, but please be mindful of fish on redds. Most of the flies you want to be using right now should be smaller--midges, baetis, and small streamers.
