The tailwater sections of streams fish well all year round. It is worth
bringing your gear if you can find time to spend on the river. As for
recommended flies it depends on the stream you plan to fish.

I went fishing, South and North Forks of the South Platte River in
Colorado,
on Tuesday this week. I was not the only one up there. I really did not
expect to be after the nice weather we have been experiencing. I am
looking
forward to 2 days on the Arkansas River later this month before the Caddis
maddness starts.

How do the streams out there fish in the cold? Recommended flies?
