What's Hatching Now

What's typically coming off on Front Range water in September. Seasonal timing — always confirm against what you see on the water.

Blue-Winged Olive (BWO) #18-22

Best on grey, overcast, drizzly afternoons. Cloud cover brings them off; bluebird days shut them down.

Caddis #14-18

Mother's Day caddis in May. Evening emergence: swing soft hackles or skate a dry in the film.

TricoPeak #20-24

Early morning spinner falls, done by mid-morning. Tiny flies and long light tippet.

Terrestrials (hoppers, ants, beetles)Peak #10-16

Warm windy afternoons. Fish tight to grassy banks; the closer to the edge the better.

Streamers #2-8

Aggressive pre- and post-spawn fish. Strip fast through deep runs and undercut banks.

Blue Quill / Red Quill #16-18

Overlaps BWO season on freestone water. Afternoon emergence in softer seams.
