MASTER ANGLER OTHER HOT SPOTS
COLORADO RECORD
To put your COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE to best use, we strongly recommend combining this book with either Colorado
Roads and Recreation Atlas or Colorado Gazetteer. Both of these fine publications have excellent maps of Colorado, and many
recommendations for outdoor activities. When used in conjunction with either of these, COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE will
become a treasured possession for any Colorado angler.
We believe the best way to learn about COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE
is to spend time using it. You will discover amazing new bodies of water that are seldom, if ever, written about in other Colorado
fishing books... far from the crowds found at well known bodies of water.
Our favorite uses for COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE
are during the planning stages of your trip, or in situations where you are already at a spot that isn't producing, and need to find
another body of water nearby to try. The web version will allow you to "sort" the data by category using Microsoft Excel, Open
Office Spreadsheet, or other spreadsheet software you might have installed on your PC.
Maybe you wake up one morning and decide
you'd really like to get into some cuttroat trout at a lake you've never tried, but don't have much time. Before COLORADO'S
ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE, choosing a likely candidate could have been a very difficult task, but now all you have to do is sort your
web version by "cuttroat", then by "type", then by "Area". Starting at the top of the page will be all the lakes in Colorado
that hold cuttroat trout, sorted by the area of the state. Just choose a location close to home, click on the links for the
lakes in that area, and you'll find more information including, in many cases, topos and aerials. Just make your choice from
these lakes, pack your stuff, and head out! We would also recommend printing the topo, directions, or other pertinent data for
your lake of choice, and others in the area, just in case the first one isn't fishing well.
Should you already be out fishing,
and decide you want to try another spot, just pull out your Gazetteer or Colorado Road Atlas. Take a look at the bodies of water
in the vicinity, and then see what the book version of COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE shows for those lakes and streams.
We strongly recommend choosing waters that are included in our fishing book as opposed to "throwing darts". Many Colorado
waters are barren, while all those shown in COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE are documented to have held the species listed
within the last ten years. Many are rated for "quality of fishery".
Maybe you're driving up in the high country, and come
upon a stream you're not familiar with. If you know its name, go to your book version of COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE,
and see what data there is. If there is no name, go to the Gazetteer or Road Atlas, and see if you can discern which stream
it is, then go to our fishing book.
There are over 2200 waters listed in COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE, but the list
is not complete by any means. If you find a body of water that looks great, and isn't listed in our guide, it may still hold
fish. We have done the best we could to include all bodies of water documented to hold fish, but things change from month to
month. This fishing book will be updated yearly, adding more fishable lakes and streams, new species introduced,
and comments regarding "quality of fishery".
Yearly web version updates are only $9.95, but you can get them FREE, just by contributing
NEW DOCUMENTED INFORMATION for 10 different Colorado bodies of water accepted to be included in COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE.
If you have questions about this program, please go to FAQ.
We sincerely hope you enjoy COLORADO'S ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE, and
that it helps you improve your fishing success rate substantially!
