The Boulder River typically fishes well between July and early August when river flows stay between 3,000 cfs and 600 cfs. River flows vary from year to year but early July through mid August are typical floating times.

The Fishing Experience

The Boulder River is best described as a half fishing, half white water raft trip. Anglers will revel in the fast action, pocket water type fishing. Primarily a dry fly river this fast water stream has numerous hatches including Golden Stones, Caddis, and several Mayfly species.

Boulder River Hatches

July Golden Stones – early July can boast some excellent dry fly and nymphing for good size trout. Size 6-8 flies offer some exciting action. Mayflies – July often has excellent number of Pale Morning Dun’s (PMDs). Caddis – much of July and early August have our annual summer Caddis. Size 12-16 X Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis, and small Pheasant tail droppers are most effective. Terrestrials – Hoppers and beetles are excellent options as the August heat sets in.
