For November 24, 2024, the Colorado River in Colorado is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the cooling autumn weather.

### Weather and Tidal Report
The weather is expected to be clear with a high of around 58°F and a low of 38°F. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:30 PM. Since the Colorado River is a freshwater river, there are no tidal reports to consider.

### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been steady, with anglers reporting good catches of trout, particularly brown trout, which are moving upriver for their fall spawn. Cutthroats and cuttbows are also active in the coves around the river.

### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Yesterday, anglers caught a significant number of brown trout, cutthroats, and cuttbows. The trout have been healthy and active, especially in the cooler waters.

### Best Lures and Bait
For fly fishing, midge patterns from sizes 14-20 are highly effective, especially when used in a dry/dropper or double midge setup under an indicator. Scuds, worms, and buggers used as attractors with a midge are also working well. For spin anglers, maribou jigs, Kastmasters, spinners, and Rapala-type minnows are the old reliable choices. Bottom bouncing with glo bugs or beads in deeper water is also productive.

### Hot Spots
Some of the best spots to fish include the areas around the South Canyon Boat Ramp, although it's closed until April, so you'll need to find alternative access points. The river sections near Glenwood Springs and around the confluence of the Roaring Fork River are also hot spots. For those wading, the mid-depths of 3-6 feet and deeper areas of 7-10 feet have been yielding good results.

Overall, the Colorado River is in great shape for fishing this time of year, with plenty of fish to catch and beautiful autumn scenery to enjoy.
