Colorado's 2008 Trout Hotspots

March 7, 2008 By: Marshall Cutchin

Brian Strickland mentions the Cache la Poudre River near Fort Collins and the Conejos River in the southwest part of the state as good bets for trout streams on the upswing in 2008. “For several minutes, the flex in my 5-weight Sage fly rod played this 20-inch hog. After several drag-ripping runs, my 7X tippet could only take so much and with the next hard tug, it snapped and brought this fly-fishing junky to his knees.” In Rocky Mountain Game & Fish magazine.
