Book Description

July 1, 1999
Some of America's best trout fishing is on the east side of the Rocky Mountains -- and near the largest cities in Colorado. Fly Fishing Colorado's Front Range takes you to more than 55 great places to fly fish, most of them less than a 90-minute drive from Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs.

The South Platte, Cache la Poudre and Big Thompson rivers are just a few of the many destinations explored by this comprehensive guide. Tailwaters, wild rivers, backcountry creeks and magnificent alpine lakes -- you'll find them all in Fly Fishing Colorado's Front Range.

Detailed chapters include descriptions, illustrations, charts and photos of the most common Front Range insects and productive fly patterns, plus valuable insights into aquatic entomology and fishing techniques. In addition, Fly Fishing Colorado's Front Range offers advice on year-round fishing, the best gear and tackle, and other points of interest to fly anglers.

And unlike some guidebooks, Fly Fishing Colorado's Front Range is based entirely on extensive firsthand experience. The author, a veteran fly fisherman, writer and guide, presents the most accurate and helpful information possible. Whether you're a novice or expert angler, a Colorado resident or visitor, this is the only book you'll need to fly fish the Front Range.

Review

Fly Fishing Colorado's Front Range showed me a half-dozen new fly patterns I'm anxious to try and two dozen new creeks to fish. I'll never again schedule a business trip to Fort Collins without taking a fly rod and this book. -- Roger Hill, author of Fly Fishing the South Platte (Pruett Publishing Company)

If you can't find a dozen things in this book you really want to know -- then I'm looking forward to YOUR next book! I learned what the top ten Front Range caddisflies are (I didn't know there were ten); ditto for mayflies. I found a half-dozen new fly patterns I'm anxious to try and two dozen new creeks to fish. I'll never again schedule a business trip to Fort Collins without taking a fly rod and this book. If you've figured out which end of the fly pole to grab, you probably need a copy too! -- Roger Hill, author of Fly Fishing the South Platte River

This is a long-overdue book, thoroughly researched and loaded with information. It is a must for any angler interested in learning about Colorado's Front Range fishing opportunities. -- Brad Befus, co-owner of Front Range Anglers, Boulder, Colorado
