The Water

Where the trout live.

Cold, clear, dam-fed tailwaters that fish all twelve months — and the local knowledge to read them.

No. 01 — Why tailwaters

A tailwater runs cold and clear straight off the bottom of a dam — which is why these rivers fish all twelve months.

Below the dams, temperatures and flows stay steady year-round. Our time on these Colorado tailwater fisheries — and what we know about the bug life in them — is the edge that puts fish in your net.

Whether you're new to fly fishing or a seasoned veteran, our guides tailor the day to you — reading the water, finding the fish, and putting you on them.
