The North Fork of the South Platte is one of those rivers that keeps you coming back for more, even when it humbles you. March fishing here is a game of patience, as trout are still in winter mode, but longer days and early Baetis hatches are starting to wake them up. The flows are still low, so stealth is key—if you can see the fish, they can see you first.
Nymphing remains the best bet, but afternoon dry fly action is improving, especially on overcast days when Blue Wing Olives start popping. The biggest challenge? These fish see a ton of flies, so size down your tippet, perfect your drift, and be ready for rejection before success. Streamer fishing? Possible, but only with small, natural-colored patterns fished slow and deep.
