In this episode of Rise Beyond, we dive deep into fly fishing Clear Creek near Denver during spring runoff. If you're wondering whether it's worth rigging up this week—here’s your no-BS answer. With the flows high and off-color, most anglers bail. But savvy locals know how to work the banks, soft seams, and tailouts for aggressive feeders.
We’ll break down best flies for Clear Creek, the ideal access points from Golden to Georgetown, and when to fish for the best shot at success. You’ll hear tips for dry-dropper setups, how to approach stained water, and what hatches are still active despite runoff.
Hosted by a fly-tying fanatic and a river-obsessed guide with over 100 days on the water, this episode gives you real-world insight—not recycled fishing shop fluff.
Plus, we preview the new River Whisper 7.1 update, a first-of-its-kind Colorado fishing app that puts real-time river data, hatch charts, and crowd reports in your pocket. You’ll be the first to hear what makes it different (spoiler: 750+ access points and data-driven daily reports).
Subscribe for weekly river updates and sign up at RiseBeyondFlyFishing.com for full river reports and curated fly box subscriptions that match what’s hatching now.
Tight lines—and don’t forget to check the flows before you go.
