概要

 Hey locals, grab your 5-weight and settle in, cause 2026s shaping up wild on the fly water. First off, Colorados Lower Blue River below Kremmling is blowing up with drama. Colorado Parks and Wildlife dropped their December 2025 survey saying pellet-feeding by fancy ranches like Blue Valley Ranch, owned by that hedge fund bigwig Paul Tudor Jones, is overcrowding trout, spreading gill lice, and tanking the fishery. CPW biologist Jon Ewert calls it a major disease risk spilling into the Colorado River. Landowners blame floaters and want a 10-year permit system to boot 'em, but CPW says angler kills are minor in this catch-and-release stretch. Aspen Times reports the ranch biologist firing back that correlation aint causation. Tense times down there, boys keep an eye on it if youre drifting.

Over in Wyoming, Game and Fish just rolled out 2026 regs thatll have Jackson Hole boys grinning. Snake River below Jackson Lake Dam? Daily trout limit doubles to six, no length caps on those fat browns. North Platte tailwaters like Miracle Mile and Gray Reef now demand single-point barbless hooks to cut catch-and-release injuries, plus no more pegged attractors and an extended fly-lure only zone. New spawning closure April 1 to May 15 at Gray Reef protects rainbows. And no October closure on Jackson Lake anymore fall lakers are game on.

Feds are opening doors too. The MAPWaters Act sailed through Senate, heading to the presidents desk. Soon youll pull up public access info on your phone for any federal river or lake no more guessing where you can legally wade. US Fish and Wildlife expanding sportfishing on 87,000 acres in Idaho, Montana, Washington refuges, aligning with state rules.

But heads up Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks closed all of Red Rock Creek in Centennial Valley to angling from Elk Lake Road to upper Red Rock Lake. Native cutthroats and those rare grayling need a break.

Early snow drought in the Rockies per Flylab has spring hatches popping sooner trout chasing bugs ahead of schedule. Tie those nymphs tight.
