I wonder if a decent strategy would be to plan on driving upstream on
the Ark until the conditions, and maybe even the head of the hatch,
were found. You can drive all the way to Leadville at over 10,000
feet. Shouldn't be too much runoff that high, and I imagine an eagle
eye would spot fishable water even in the worst of it. There'd also be
other options in the area and the scenery would be fantastic. If the
loop included returning via I70 at Copper Mountain there might be a
rise at the ponds at Dowd Junction, or even the ponds just north in
Frisco, Ten Mile Creek or the inlet of Dillon. The downside would be
that Mike would be tired on monday!

Correction, it's Wheeler Junction not Dowd, which is further west on
the Eagle river.

Good link about the area...
