Fancypants Fly Fishing at Boxwood Gulch

[The_Real_TCIII]

Im visiting a friend in Denver next month and he booked us a day here. Its a three mile stretch of private stocked water on the North Fork of the South Platte, sort of high fence fly fishing but I cant wait! Last year we fished the Arkansas river in Buena Vista and had an awesome time chasing wild fish. I also fished Clear Creek in Evergreen. I wanted to find cutthroat but finding public access was very confusing and I didnt have a lot of time

We all have to slum on private waters from time to time.

The North Fork of the S. Platte has good midge hatches through winter as I recall. It’s been years since I lived in Colorado.

Do you match the hatch and fish with fly patterns that look like a pellet?

Just keep it simple and use worm and bobber. You over think everything.

And by worm and bobber, you mean a squirmy worm fished under a strike indicator, or course.

i am embarrassed to say i didnt catch a trout all year.  It used to be the #1 thing i did outdoors and my Dad was an avid trout fisherman.  These days i still fish a bunch but i find myself out on the boat instead.  Always loved just looking down the stream to the next hole.
