How many times have you
planned a trip to an ordinarily terrific Colorado fishing spot only to find that today it’s not so great? Do you keep casting
or just give up and go home? Maybe you’ve been in the area, and are familiar with some other bodies of water nearby that might
hold fish. If that’s the case, you will probably give those places a shot.
With our fishing book, Colorado’s Ultimate Fishing
Guide in your possession, you no longer have to rely on your memory of an area to try to save the day. Now you have the ability
to find several options of quality fishing waters near your initial choice. Our spreadsheet format makes it simple. You just
decide whether you want to tackle streams or lakes. Maybe you’re focused on catching a particular species of fish. With
Colorado’s Ultimate Fishing Guide, you can very quickly see which of the waters near you hold that species. The key here
is speed and simplicity. No more reading through page after page of information, just to try to find what you’re looking for.
The next step is to pull out your Colorado Atlas and Gazetteer, Colorado Road and Recreation Atlas, or Mapsco's Roads of Colorado. Find the spot you’ve chosen on the map, and you’re there. When combining the maps of these fine publications with the specific fishing information of this guide, you have everything you need to have a wonderful time exploring new fishing waters. You may also want to go to the map first, and then check Colorado’s Ultimate Fishing Guide to see if the spot you’ve chosen is listed. If the body of water you find on the map isn’t listed in this guide, we could find no documented proof of fish being present. That doesn’t mean they’re not there, but your chances of success will go up substantially if you choose waters in our Colorado fishing book.
This fishing guide is also terrific for planning a trip. Again, in very little time you have the ability to choose an area, and the bodies of water you want to target. Maybe you decide to head up to Steamboat, and fish the Yampa in the morning, Stagecoach in the afternoon, and end the day on a small high elevation brookie lake. No problem, just look in the Steamboat area of Colorado’s Ultimate Fishing Guide for a lake that holds brook trout at a higher elevation. You can even see if you’ll need to hike, or if the water is right next to the road. It’s all up to you, and very simple.
Only with the editable version you can sort all of these bodies of water any way you desire, and add columns for more information. You will also find links to websites for each fishing spot with additional data, including info related to directions, topos, and aerials.
These are just
a few ideas of how to use Colorado’s Ultimate Fishing Guide. This is a work in progress, and will be updated on a
regular basis. We truly hope you enjoy this fishing guide and appreciate your support!
