This week’s River Whisper rolls into the Eagle River—a freestone masterpiece running cold, clear, and full of bugs.
From Avon’s riffles to Gypsum’s long glides, the river is giving up fish on caddis dries, tight-line nymphs, and dry-dropper setups if you can read the seams and keep moving. Flows are stable, clarity is perfect, and trout are ready to eat from dawn until dark.
In this episode, we cover:
How to time the PMD hatch window (hint: it’s earlier than you think)
Why the evening caddis explosion is your best chance for a surface eat
What flies we actually fish from Wolcott to Gypsum
Where to access consistent pocket water and riffle runs
Tips for fishing freestone flows like a local, not a tourist
We also talk about how the Eagle is fishing better than most of the South Platte right now—and how to build a better freestone strategy in July.
Need the flies? We tie ‘em and test ‘em. Small-batch, Colorado-built.
