Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River fishing report for March 28, 2025. Let me tell you, the fishing's been heating up lately as we move into spring.

The weather's looking mighty fine today, with sunny skies and highs around 60°F. Sunrise was at 6:52 AM and sunset will be at 7:23 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. The river flow is running at about 930 CFS below Glenwood Springs, which is pretty typical for this time of year.

Now, let's talk fish. The trout have been getting more active as the water warms up. Rainbows and browns are the main catch, with some reports of 16-20 inchers being landed. Midges and Blue Winged Olives are the hot ticket right now. For you nymph fishermen, try running a double nymph rig with a larger stonefly pattern followed by a smaller midge or BWO nymph. If you're into dry flies, keep an eye out for afternoon hatches and have some Parachute BWOs in size 18-22 ready to go.

For you streamer junkies, the bite's been picking up too. Cloudy days have been best for swinging some meat. Try a Sculpzilla in size 6-8 with a slow retrieve in the deeper runs.

As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the stretch near Grizzly Creek or the area around Two Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs. Both have been producing some nice fish lately.

Remember, the spring runoff ain't too far off, so make the most of these clear water conditions while they last. And don't forget your sunscreen – that high country sun can be sneaky.

Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.
