Upper Arkansas River (Between Leadville and Buena Vista)

5/1/26

Spring fishing has been productive in the upper valley. Try nymphimg with stonefly, baetis and midge patterns for the most consistent action. Keep an eye out for fish feeding on the surface and offer small BWO and/or midge dry fly patterns to rising fish.
