Current Conditions for Boxwood Gulch, Long Meadow, Farmer’s Union, and North Fork Ranch. These are the private leases we guide on. The same conditions are present on all the public water, however, access is limited.

14 Day Forecast: Look for flows to stay in the 350-475 cfs mark until Cheesman drops. Denver Water is releasing 1334 out of Dillon, rather than bring a bunch of water down the North Fork Corridor.

Tips and Other Information: Fishing remains productive on the North Fork of the South Platte. Effective patterns include: Pink San Juan Worms, Pat’s Rubber Legs, Red Copper Johns, Red Mercury Pheasant Tail, and Mercury Caddis. The North Fork is one of the few areas that has a reasonable flow and is fishing good. Book a day on one of our private leases now—you’ll have a blast!
