This guide will provide the essential information you will need to fish the public waters of the Upper Yampa River watershed.  It was written by two local fly-fishers who collectively have been fishing these waters for over 50 years.

They never forget that fly-fishing is an activity where a lot of time and money can be spent trying to fool a creature whose brain is only slightly bigger than a grasshopper's.  However, just because a fish may lack IQ does not mean they are always easy to catch.

It is this quest to catch trout that drives fly-fisher to explore new waters.  This guide will pinpoint where to fish locally. Take this guide with you as a ready reference.  It will be like fishing with Peter and Scott- but without having to listen to all their exaggerated stories in which the fish are magnified in size and quantity.
