Approaching the Arkansas River

How should I approach fishing the Arkansas River? At our fly shops we get asked what to use and where to go. Much more rarely do we hear questions like “how should I fish?” or “what type of water should I fish?” or “what sort of food is available and what are the feeding patterns throughout the day?” However, these are really the more important questions.

The Arkansas River fishery has fully transitioned to spring. There are blue wing olive mayflies hatching from Buena Vista down to the Royal Gorge.
