Boulder Creek has been fishing really well lately, especially during the early morning and evening hours.

Trout are spread throughout the creek, so don’t overlook any pocket water or seams. They are holding fish in all the right places. Dry-dropper rigs have been producing exceptionally well in the lower canyon, while the dry fly action above the falls has been outstanding.

As a bonus, we’ve even had a few moose sightings in the upper canyon lately. Keep your head on a swivel out there.

It’s an amazing time to be on the water. If you’re looking to get out with a guide or need help dialing in fly selection, stop by the shop and we will get you set up!

Meet Daniel, our Head Guide.

A Colorado native, Daniel has been fishing since he could hold a rod, spending countless days on the water with his grandfather. Even when he did not have a rod in hand, you could usually find him wading into the nearest creek or pond in search of fish and other aquatic life, much to his parents’ dismay and at the expense of more than a few pairs of school shoes.

After serving in the Army, Daniel discovered fly fishing and has been hooked ever since. Today, he shares that passion by helping anglers of all experience levels create memorable days on the water.

When he is not guiding, Daniel enjoys spending time with his wife and three wonderful children, passing down the art of fly fishing to the next generation.

“Listen to the sound of the river and you will catch a trout.” • Irish Proverb

Next up in our Meet the Team series: Jon.

A Colorado native and a cornerstone of Front Range Anglers, Jon has been part of the shop for an incredible 26 years. Over the decades, he’s seen the sport evolve, fisheries change, and countless anglers come through the doors, all while building a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and respected members of our team.

As our Shop Manager, Jon brings a depth of experience that’s difficult to match. From trout streams and tailwaters to warmwater fisheries and everything in between, his passion for fly fishing extends far beyond any one species or technique. If it swims, there’s a good chance Jon has spent time figuring out how to catch it on a fly.

Whether you’re looking for advice on gear, flies, local waters, or a new species to chase, Jon is always willing to share what he’s learned from a lifetime spent on the water. His knowledge spans every corner of the sport, and his passion for helping others enjoy fly fishing is evident every day in the shop.

Jon is also a member of the Hatch, Winston, and Scientific Anglers Pro Teams, a reflection of the respect he’s earned throughout the industry and the fly fishing community.

More than anything, Jon is simply a great person to talk fishing with and an even better person to spend a day on the water with.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have Jon as part of the Front Range Anglers family. Stop by the shop and say hello next time you’re in!

South St. Vrain has been producing well and is a great option right now for anglers looking to escape some of the bigger water.

Flows are up, so focus on the softer water. Look for current breaks, pocket water, foam lines, and slower side pockets along the banks where fish can hold without burning energy.

We’re seeing fish eat both dries and nymphs.

Dry flies: Chubbys, Superman Caddis, BWOs, and Dry Humpers.
Nymph rigs: Tungsten Pheasant Tails, Perdigons, SOS Nymphs, Small Stones, and Sweet Meat Caddis.

Heavier droppers have been key to getting down in the faster flows. Slow everything down, stay tight to your drift, and focus on getting a clean presentation. That’s what gets eats.

As runoff continues, finding the right water is far more important than finding the right fly. A good drift will get eats almost every time.

Flies & Rigs Working for June 🎣

Summer is here and while runoff has been lighter than normal, flows have still bumped across much of the Front Range. Fish have adjusted quickly and fishing has stayed solid as we settle into early summer flows.

Dry-Dropper
Still the most dependable way to cover water right now. With flows up, a slightly larger dry paired with a heavier dropper keeps you in the zone without overthinking it. When fish are looking up, you will know quickly.

Flies:
• Chubby Chernobyl
• AR Adult PMD
• Hippie Stomper
• Hi-Vis Beetle
• Spanish Bullet
• Frenchie
• Jig TNT

Dry / Emerger
You will see fish eating off the surface in softer water and along seams. Most of it is small bugs in the film, not full takes. When fish are up but not fully committing, this is the play.

Flies:
• AR BWO Emerger
• Sparkle Dun BWO
• No-See-Um Hi-Vis BWO
• RS-2 Emerger
• Superman Caddis

Tight Line
Best fishing has been in the transition water. Edges, seams, and inside bends where fish slide out of the heavy current. Stay tight, stay in contact, and let the fly get down where they are actually holding.

Flies:
• Egg Patterns
• Hot Head Leech
• Jigged Leech
• Perdigons
• Blowtorch

Nymph Rigs
When flows push or dry-dropper rigs are tough to manage, a double nymph rig is still the most consistent way to get into them. Focus on depth and slowing everything down. Fish are sitting in lanes where the current does the work for them.

Flies:
• Juju Baetis
• Blue Poison Tung
• Lil’ Bit
• Sweet Meat Caddis
• Pat’s Rubber Legs
• RS2
• Tung Poudre Pupae
