Fishing Conditions

The upper Dolores is fishing decent but cold days are ahead.  A classic freestone on the upper, fish a dry dropper when temps are warm enough

Fishing close to the town of Dolores has been okay, but expect company.

The upper reaches are fishing decent for a variety of trout with dries, nymphs, and even streamers
