About this listen

This episode covers the latest Waterton Canyon fly fishing report on the South Platte River, focusing on winter flows, clarity, trout behavior, and the narrow feeding windows that define this stretch in cold weather. With low, clear water and steady baseflows, Waterton rewards anglers who slow down, fish small, and manage clean drifts through soft canyon lanes.

We break down how trout are positioning in inside bends, slow edges, and winter troughs, along with which midge patterns are producing consistently right now. You will also hear how hiking past the busiest access points dramatically improves fishing quality, even during winter months.

If you are planning to fish Waterton Canyon in winter, this episode gives you the practical information you need on timing, approach, and fly selection before stepping into the river.
