Clear Creek below Georgetown
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Flows: 99
I didn't have time to drive all the way to Silverthorne and I also didn't have enough time to properly fish! So a quick trip up to Clear Creek should satisfy my fishing itch.
The flows have been going up and down with warm temps driving some snow melt into Clear Creek. The water is still very clear, and especially below Georgetown Lake. A lot of the runs where fish lie during lower flows are blown out, but fish are feeding in the riffles and in the pocket water just below the dam.
Nothing too big, but plenty of fun on a 3 wt. Just be careful right below the dam. Lots of the logs and rocks are shifting or moving with the higher flows.
Fish were taking red micro san juans, size 18 pheasant tails, and rainbow warriors. I also had a few take a two bit hooker and a red copper john. Mayflies are on the menu, but I didn't see any fish rising.
Fishing is good, so get out to the Creek. Bring your 3 wt and you can turn a couple hours of down time into some great fishing! This little stretch doesn't see many people so you have a great shot at some hungry fish and not seeing another person!
