Colorado: A Fly Fishing Paradise

Of all the options for fly fishing out west, many people find that Colorado has some of the best fly fishing in the country. Colorado has built such a strong reputation for fly fishing that it is generally the first state people think of. For anyone interested in fishing for the largest and best, Colorado is known for offering some of the finest places around.

One of the best places for Colorado fly fishing is a place called the Frying Pan River located not far from the beautify city of Aspen. In addition to being gorgeous, gaining access to the river is simple (and cheap!). Many people come from near and far to fish for cutthroat, rainbow, and brown trout there. In fact, hatches are operated all year long, which means fishing enthusiasts can go fly fishing whenever they'd like.

Of course, there are many wonderful places to fly fish in Colorado. Another such location also near Aspen is known as the Roaring Fork. What makes this particular area so different is that the river offers calm, peaceful areas as well as large, heavier flowing waters. This river is known for having incredible wild trout. As with the “Pan,” year-round fishing is available. You will find mostly wild rainbow trout in the Fork with an occasional wild brook trout.

Travelers headed to Vail area should considering fly fishing the Colorado River, which flows through the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park. What makes this river so amazing is its vast depth and breadth -- but also its gentle waters. All along the shoreline are cottonwood trees, which provide shade and great places for brown trout to hide. Because of this, trout in the Colorado River are in abundance.

Another great location is in southwest Colorado, in and around the Arkansas River. While fishing is great there all year, the mid-winter and spring months are the best. Every year around Mother’s Day, the caddis are known for hatching. This means that brown trout have plenty to eat, luring them from their hiding places.

The entire state of Colorado has many great fly fishing locations. The ones we mentioned are just some of our favorites. The bottom line is that Colorado fly fishing offers something very special, a beautiful place, gorgeous scenery, and amazing fish.

Chanel Offers New Luxury Fly Fishing Rod

We wrote earlier this month about how many fly fishing enthusiasts don't bat an eye at putting down a cool five grand for a first-rate pole... but what about almost $20,000? Chanel's latest foray into the luxury sporting goods arena is a fly fishing rod that runs £9,170 in the UK or about $18,000 in the US (and more if the economy keeps tanking and the dollar loses its value!).

What kind of person actually purchases one of these beauties? We're not really sure, but we'd sure like to know!

The rod certainly is nice... but worth $18,000? That's for you to decide. It boasts a set of meticulously tied, monochrome Chanel flies, complete with the famous "double C" logo on the gossamer wings. The rod is "presented" in a rather fetching, quilted black leather box.

We have to wonder: Is this a rod folks would take with them to go fly fishing in the west? Probably not. In fact, our prediction is that serious anglers wouldn't be caught dead with this luxury item, but one never knows -- and we couldn't resist writing about such an absurdity! Perhaps the thing will be reserved for the English royalty?
