Fall Colorado Fishing Flys

AZ_Trout,

I agree 100% with you. Pat Dorsey is by far one of the best guides in the west. Every year I go out there he takes our group of 3 or 4 to a new stream we have not fished before. He is the hardest working guide I have ever seen!

When out there we use Silverthorne as our hub, so we have stopped at the Cutthroat Angler to get some of our supplies, check on the daily flows and throw some BS around. THere are a few nice guys there as well.

Later,

I line in G.J. CO and fish the Colorado River near Glen Wood Springs it can be very good and cold canyon has some large fish also the Gunnison at Pleasure Park. Any of the nymphs are good and don't forget a good strike indicator.

Silverthorne is just about the perfect location.

If I could spend about 4-5 months there - without snow, I'd be almost in heaven. Close to Denver, right on some great water, short drives to the Colorado, RMNP, South Platte system, headwaters for the Arkansas. We've rented homes up there about 3 -4 times now, one the properties had a 3 acre private pond. The trout were pigs, almost like pets - the BIG ones where all but impossible to fool (oh we caught 5-6 nice fish but they were smart)- the little ones where happy to entertain us though.

I'm a big fan of the Ozarks and Springfield - Branson. Taneycomo, RRSP, Below Beaver Lake, N Fork of the White.

And we have some really nice water about 3 hours north of Tucson, with the White Mountains of AZ, but I just really like the Dillon Silverthorne Breckinridge area. It might be that as kids growing up in the KC area we often went to Colorado camping on our family vacations, or because I'm a trout junkie - this is a great area, I don't know.

But if I could figure out how to be rich and able to rotate between those 3 areas I could be in trout paradise.
