Tactics Beginning in October, Colorado River rainbows move onto the shallow gravel bars in preparation for spawning. Many anglers are drawn to the river at this time for the opportunity to sight fish for these big trout. Good polarized glasses are a must, and the most common rig is a combination of a glo-bug and a midge. Be sure to use enough weight to get down near the bottom and position yourself so that you can get the flies within a foot or less of your quarry. Streamer fishing can also be productive at this time of year.
