| Colorado Fly Fishing |
Question:
I still consider myself somewhat of a new comer to fly fishing having only been at it now for a little over a year. However, I truly enjoy it. My local waters are the tail waters formed by the dam system in Arkansas.
However, next year, I would like to take a vacation of sorts that would be just for me and my fly rod. I have been considering Colorado, as that would be a fairly easy drive and my wife and I have friends in the Colorado Springs area. So, she could visit with them while I go commune with the trout.
I don't know anyone with fly fishing experience in Colorado, though. So, I thought I would ask about suggestions for times, places, guides, etc. I recently saw a couple of episodes of the Fly Fishing Masters tournament on OLN, and they were fishing the Little Snake River at Three Forks Ranch. I was very impressed by the size and quantity of the trout they were landing.
However, Three Forks is a little pricey for my budget.
Answer:
It is a brown trout river, with very few rainbows. There are plenty of campgrounds on that section of the river and lots of public access to the river. The river flows very a great deal and you can get hourly updates. Just look at a Colorado map and pick where you might be fishing and find stations close to that area. There are a lot of feeder streams into the river so the flows vary all along the river. Flows below 4-500 ft give you a lot of wading areas.
