First Fish of 2010

Roaring Fork Valley rivers are awakening.  It's only the first week of March, but it is a great time for fly fishing in the Roaring Fork Valley. The first midge hatch has started and will strengthen throughout the month. But the warm temperatures this week have made the  conditions exceptionally good.  Hatches are forecasted to start around noon, so anglers don't need to get going too early as the best fishing should occur in the afternoon and into the warm evening.
