Colorado fly fishing

While many fly fisherman dream of a trip to Alaska, Colorado fly fishing is much more realistic since it is in the continental states. Fishing on the West Coast is renowned for beautiful pristine rivers and large fish. In addition, the mountains provide an exquisite backdrop for sunrise fishing.

Colorado fly fishing may even have replaced Montana as America's number one fly fishing destination. Many feel that Montana has become overrun with tourists since the release of Robert Redford's movie A River Runs through It, but Colorado remains less crowded and has equal, if not superior landscapes. This means more fish and more room on the river for the fisherman.

While Colorado fly fishing, expect to see large rainbow trout in their natural environment. Also, expect to see full-grown brown trout up to 18 to 24 inches in length. Pack your vest with a selection of flies specific to the rivers in this state for success.
