Catch & Release at Roaring River starts the 11th of Nov.

Roaring River is low and clear and the dry fly fishing has been pretty good all year, I went down last evening caught a lot of small trout

on a para adams, with a  #20 pheasant tail as a dropper, fished the dropper about a foot off the adams, lots of intrest in the pheasant tai, caught

maybe 7 on the nymph, broke the nymph off and started catching fish on the #16 para adams, and the fish on the dry were bigger than what

I was catching on the pheasant tail.

Still catching a lot of trout on san juan worms, mega worms and chamois worms, and small eggs will catch trout all day.

zebra midges in black, olive, gray, and brown have been pretty good lately, and we are still doing pretty gook on #16 and smaller copper johns.

I fish a pheasant tail a lot, because it catches trout every day

Burlap nymphs work well right now, they make a good caddis nymph.

woolybuggers in olive, black, and gray have been good lately. I will fish a bigger bugger early, up to a size 6 sometimes, and as the day goes on

I'll fish em a bit smaller.

Water is so low right now, I wouldn't use anything much bigger than 6X and I'm using 7X most of the time, 9' leaders are best.

The MDC will start stocking big trout next week, a few hundred 3 to 6 pound trout will be stocked as will 3500 12-15" trout.

C&R starts Friday, November 11th, the fishing is still allowed fri-mon 8 a.m-4 p.m. Flies only.

Also, it is important to remember thats Friday through Monday, not the other way around as a park ranger informed me on a Thursday.
