    Rivers

    Breckenridge

    This is one great place to experience fly fishing. Small rocky streams, large winding rivers and high mountain lakes provide an abundance of fly fishing, all within a one hour drive are five major rivers including the Blue, Eagle, Colorado, Arkansas, and South Platte Rivers.

    Colorado River

    The Colorado River can be divided into two sections, Upper and Lower. The Upper Colorado starts below Windy Gap Reservoir and extends to the Pumphouse just below Kremmling. This section of river has a strong flow and is great for float fishing. The Lower Colorado can be wade fished at several locations, but is best for float fishing. Most of the water is class II with a few class III rapids.

    South Platte River

    Located in central Colorado, the South Platte River flows from northeast through Denver and has one of the best fisheries in Colorado with an abundance of Rainbows and Browns. This is where nymph fishing tends to be the best.

    Blue River

    The Blue River is one of the most spectacular Gold Medal fisheries in Colorado if not the country. Big trout and big views will treat you to a great day of fly fishing on the Blue River. This medium sized river can be accessed from the Dillon Reservoir dam to Kremmling. Most of the public access is between Dillon and Green Mountain Reservoirs.

    Arkansas River

    Typically known for great rafting and kayaking, the fishing on the Arkansas River has been improving in recent years. Due to heavy metal pollutants from mining, this river lacked clarity and wasn't a thriving trout home. Recently, through the positive effects of the EPA SuperFund, the river has become more healthy with Browns, Rainbows, Brookies and a few Cutthroat. The best fishing can be found near the headwaters from Independence Pass Road to the Climax Molybdenum mine.

    Eagle River

    The Eagle River is one of the lesser known great fisheries in Colorado. Traveling from Minturn to Dotsero, this river runs parallel to I-70 and is accessible from Highway 6. Because of recent development of the area, public access has become harder and harder, however if you find public access, you'll find high quality Brown and Rainbow Trout fishing.
