Description

This is walk-in access only through Gateway Natural Area and is a fly and lure-only, catch-and-release fishing opportunity for brown trout and rainbow trout. This stretch of river encompasses the reach from Seaman Reservoir downstream to the confluence with the mainstem Poudre River. Fishing pressure is high and trout are educated, but there are high abundances of trout with quality fish (14 inches and greater) present.

Special Regulations

  1. Fishing is by artificial flies and lures only.
  2. All trout must be returned to the water immediately upon catch.

Help Protect Colorado's Waters!

Invasive species damage Colorado's lands and waters, hurt the economy, ruin recreational opportunities, result in a loss of property values and threaten public health. They consume enormous amounts of water reducing the supply for livestock, wildlife, and humans. They impede water distribution systems for municipal, industrial, and agricultural supplies. They can damage boats, gear and fishing equipment, and impair all forms of water based recreation. They displace wildlife habitat and reduce forage, shelter and range for big game and other native species.

Vigilance can stop Invasive Species from doing more damage!
