About this listen

Wild, Cold, and Full of Opportunity

The Cache la Poudre is in prime late-summer form—steady 185 CFS flows with clear water and cold temps that keep the trout feeding all day. While midday sun will slow surface action, mornings are producing steady takes on PMDs, caddis, and Tricos, with terrestrials playing a bigger role as August rolls on.

The canyon water is your friend right now—pocket water, riffles, and deep seams are stacked with fish. Dry-dropper rigs are the most versatile option, but a tight-line nymph approach will crush in faster runs. If you’re looking for a break from pressured metro rivers, the Poudre is worth the drive.
