If you don't mind driving, I would suggest: Gunnison, East, and Taylor rivers. A few hours over to the west of Castle rock. Willing to go a bit further yet? The Roaring Fork, and or Frying Pan. The salmonfly and green drake hatches are coming up soon, call a fly shop and see whats hatching when you will be there. Keep in mind hatches may be a bit earlier/later with the extra runoff this year.

You have lots of choices. I think I would hire a guide from Kirks Flyshop or the Estes Angler or Rocky Mountain Adventures to fish the streams in the Rocky Mountain Park, the upper Colorado, the North Platte or the Big Thompson. If you want to do it yourself then I would get the following book: Flyfisher's Guide to Colorado by Marty Bartholomew published by Wilderness Adventure Press Box 627 Gallatin Gateway, MT 59730 Tel 800-925-3339 The book tells you where to go, where to stay and where to fish on the stream and any restrictions. Good book for the do it yourself Colorado fisherman. Personally, I think the stream management by the State of Colorado is just terrible and I would go to Montana but I understand the family in Colorado thing. I have the same problem. Sure wish they would move to Montana!! Good luck and Good Fishing - 73 from the Fisherman Wow. You have lots of choices.
