Summer water temperatures are an important factor when conserving to cast out your reals for the next big catch. In water temperatures between 50° and 55°, you should find wet flies, streamers, and bucktails, as well as a spinner-and-fly, very effective for trout in ponds and lakes. At this temperature, trout are liable to range pretty well all over the pond or lake, but will not usually be feeding freely on the surface.
When you are reaching temperatures of 67 degrees… temperatures of water are too high and the fish are too stressed, try to find colder water! The most important thing about fishing in Colorado Summers is following the climate changes that exist through the Rocky Mountains on a daily passing. Always checking to see what the weather could spontaneously change is what going to affect your window of opportunity for good fishing!
