 Wave It depends. If we get a heat wave before Fest the run off will be high and the river too muddy and fast but if we get a nice steady warm up then yes the fishing will be good.  Medal

I used to bring my fly rod every year, but when the snowpack is big, you have to leave town to get on a fishable stream (the Dolores being one idea for ya).  But when T-ride is warm (like 2 years ago) fishing was great EVERYwhere.  We caught LOTS of trout right in Town Park.

So the only thing to do is to contact the fly shops in T-ride.  I usually do this about a week in advance.  They will tell you straight out if the local rivers are fishable.  They've never steered me wrong, and I show my appreciation by shopping there every year (even when there's no local fishing).

River levels will depend on if it ever stops snowing in the mountains this spring.  I have been watching the storms roll through Colorado this past Month.  No snow all winter then getting pounded in mid spring.
