Adobe Creek Res. (Blue Lake) - Fishing is slow for all species. The lake is extremely shallow. Anglers have been catching some channel cats and blue cats on crayfish and water dogs. Most of the lake is only three feet deep with some deeper holes north and east of the boat ramp. Boaters should exercise extreme caution.
Anticline Lake - Fishing is slow for all species.
Arkansas River #3 (Through Pueblo) - Fishing is slow to fair for trout with flies and bait.
Arkansas River (Buena Vista to Salida) - The flow in Browns Canyon is about 280 cfs. This makes it easy to cross the river and much of the canyon is now accessible to the wade angler. Terrestrials still provide good action on sunny days and nymphing is always productive. Hoppers, ants and attractor dries with a good mix of beadhead nymphs #16-18 are most productive.
Arkansas River (Leadville to Buena Vista) - Flow is 80 cfs in Hayden Meadows, 150 cfs in the Granite Gorge. Nymphing the deep pocket water has been good in the Gorge. Look for the fall baetis hatch to begin soon and browns to become more aggressive before their spawn.
Arkansas River (Salida to Canon City) - Flow is 300 cfs and clear. Attractor dries with small beadhead droppers are best. River is very wadeable at this level, easy to cross.
