Overview

The fishing is good, but it's only going to get BETTER!!

Current Conditions

Fishing has remained productive on the South Platte River at Deckers. Consistantly high flows has kept the fish happy, and the warmer weather will get the bugs on the move. Increased water temps will result in fish feeding more actively. This will also mean that the fish will begin to move out of the slow, dead water, and begin to migrate into some of the faster flowing sections.
