Fly fishing in Colorado
What are Colorado gold medal waters?
Gold medal designation is awarded by Colorado Parks and Wildlife to streams that produce trout of exceptional size and quantity. These waters must sustain at least 60 pounds of trout per acre with a significant number of fish over 14 inches. Private access to gold medal stretches is among the most sought-after fishing in the state.
When is the best time to fly fish in Colorado?
Colorado fishing peaks from May through October. Runoff typically clears by late June on freestone rivers, while tailwaters like the Frying Pan and South Platte fish well year-round. Late summer brings excellent hopper fishing on private ranch water, and fall offers world-class sight-fishing to spawning brown trout.
Can I access private water near Denver?
Yes. Several AnglerPass properties lie within a 90-minute drive of Denver along the South Platte corridor and in the foothills. Private stretches of Cheesman Canyon and Deckers-area ranches offer exceptional fishing close to the Front Range.
