Anybody got Elkhorn Creek info??

[brandon]

Probably going Sunday, what's the smallmouth bite been like? Any info on water level, clarity, lures to use, etc?

I waded the Elkhorn on Monday. The water is clear and approximately 3 inches above summer pool moving @ 400 +/-cfs.

Fish are hitting tiny soft plastics free drifted in current or ripped across shoals and allowed to drop back. The water is very clear which makes a stealthy approach, long casts, and down-sized equipment keys to success. The crayfish are slowly but surely appearing and I'll switch to fly fishing crayfish imitations once they are in full force. Speaking of fly fishing, now is the opportune time to fly fish for carp and drum on the Elkhorn. What a ride on a 6 weight! Fish are hugging the bank and with a slow and quiet approach one can drop the fly right on them without spooking the school.

I went out this Past Sunday, water was still up a little but has been going down, and clear as could be. The fishing was slow, but had a good day with a few nice fish. Smaller softplastics was the ticket, managed a few little ones on spinnerbaits too. I was wearing waders, the water was still a bit chilly on Sunday.

Water looks good; went last week and caught a few smallies nothing big. They were hitting on shallow crank bait.
