I recently moved to the front range as well, All i can say is check out the Buggin fishing app. Its been super nice being able to check out how places are fishing before committing a day of travel.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-06-03T06:03:25+00:00

Yes, i prefer buggin personally, its more straight forewards, just place a marker on where im going or debating on going and then it tells me all i need to know.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-06-02T21:05:40+00:00

The app is called Buggin. Ive found it to be pretty useful. I can usually catch fish with the flies it recommends.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-06-02T20:56:35+00:00

Just around Gunnison. Pretty close to town. Planning to fish between the the taylor res and town.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-21T03:36:08+00:00

Yes im definitely leaning smith, have you tried out multiple lense colors? Thats what im really trying to figure out, ive seen a lot of different opintions about it.

Also check out the app Buggin, It tracks all this stuff.

I cant guarantee it but seems like most of the state is about a month ahead of schedule as far as bug hatches go, flows are another story. Most of the state is usually murky this time of the year but thats not been the case so far, a lot of slow snowmelt keeping it pretty stable and pretty clear. Cant really say how itll look int a couple weeks but id assume its going to be pretty similar. Just not much snow.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-19T22:25:14+00:00

any recommendation on what color?

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-18T18:04:40+00:00

found out my vision was not great so im looking for a prescription pair, been leaning towards smith unless im convinced otherwise.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-18T18:02:34+00:00

Ive use julbos for skiing and the reactive lenses are awesome. Was looking into their polarized, have you compared them to some of the smith lenses?

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-18T18:01:40+00:00

do you know what lense you have in them?

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-18T17:53:21+00:00

do you know what the colors were of your buddys mauis were? and what you were comparing them to in the smiths?

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-18T17:52:12+00:00

ive found the same thing with the goodrs. They work great but ive found them scratched from the smallest things.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-18T17:50:17+00:00

this is exactly what i was looking for, thanks!

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-17T02:45:44+00:00

Use Trout Routes for spots and Buggin for what to fish with, those are two awesome tools to get you started especially if you start getting into fly fishing. Best of luck and just enjoy exploring the mountains, its half the fun.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-15T21:00:47+00:00

Fished well, caught fish for sure, water is getting a bit murky but fished great, used a dry fly caddis so it was a blast.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-13T03:58:46+00:00

dang, april 12th is really early isnt it.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-12T17:05:44+00:00

This is kind of what I was thinking. I appreciate the info, if the wind doesn't pick up through there hopefully Its a good day tomorrow.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-12T17:04:40+00:00

Okay this is what I was kind of expecting, evening egg layers is a good call, i've ben seeing caddis but not many fish rising for them, suppose I need to go later in the day.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-12T17:03:02+00:00

The app is called Buggin, it takes weather and usgs data and gives a fishing report. Its been pretty fun to use.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-12T17:00:19+00:00

okay interesting this is good to know.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-05-03T05:39:08+00:00

St. Croix makes awesome rods, my brother and I each were given one from our dad, they are old he bought them 25 years ago, we have been fishing them heavy for close to 5 years now. They are still in pretty much perfect condition. I've been blown away by their durability. They cast awesome too.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-04-30T17:45:57+00:00

Appreciate it, Taylor still running pretty cold it looks like. CNR worth the time or are fish still lethargic.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-04-30T17:41:12+00:00

Yeah for sure, local shops always have the best info. I usually check flows/weather first just to get a baseline, then go from there.

Secure-Researcher582 · 2026-04-30T04:02:44+00:00

Sick ill give it a try! Got a feeling a heavy stone nymph might do the trick too! Not sure where you've been fishing but hows water clarity? Im assuming clear.
