Fly Fishing Cheesman Canyon | South Platte River

Jim and I woke up super early to be the first ones into Cheesman Canyon yesterday.  This meant a 4am wake up call and a hike in the dark, but it was all worth it!  Cheesman fished very well yesterday and the dry fly action was the best I have seen in a long time.  …

Colorado River Fishing Report August 2011

If someone would have told me in February that my first float on the Upper Colorado wouldn’t be until August, I would have said that’s impossible.  The Colorado is my favorite trip in the state and it takes a lot (9,000 CFS all summer) to keep me away.  Finally, flows dropped to 3,000 in the …
