About this listen
This episode breaks down the latest Eagle River fly fishing report near Gypsum Colorado, covering winter flows, clarity, trout behavior, and the narrow midday feeding windows that make this stretch so productive. If you’re looking to fish the Eagle in winter, this tailwater-style freestone gives you precise structure, consistent seams, and trout that reward subtle presentations.
We walk through current flow levels, what the deep walking-speed water is doing to trout positioning, and which midge and baetis patterns are producing right now. You’ll hear specific notes on how the cold mornings and brief midday warmth shape the bite, plus tactical adjustments you should make for clear low water.
Access points, fly selection, rigging, and on-water timing are all covered in detail. Whether you’re new to winter fishing on the Western Slope or a longtime Eagle River angler, this week’s breakdown gives you the data and strategy you need before stepping into the river.
Updated conditions include public USGS flow data, weather trends, current hatch activity, and recommendations for navigating low-pressure weekdays versus busier weekend crowds.
